A countdown of funny

So, story number one.

I was driving to work and coming up on where I was going to need to turn right and I looked to my right and there's a ginormous Big Blue Bus tracking with me. And in front of me, there is also a Big Blue Bus. The only option I have to get over into the right lane would be to squeeze my car in front of the bus next to me. For a second I imagined speeding up just enough to slide in and turn right when I needed to. Then the same scenario played out again in my head only this time my car got stuck between the two buses and scrunched like it was made of tin. Then there was an action-movie type explosion..So I stayed where I was and turned a street later. Dumb bus.

Story number two.

I saw Kevin James at a screening. I have no idea what he was doing there but he was definitely doing the, I'm-busy-staring-at-my-phone-because-I-don't-want-anyone-to-talk-to-me.

Story number three.

I saw Shutter Island last weekend. I definitely felt nuts after watching it.

Story number four.

In Screenwriting class two weeks ago we got to call screenwriting guru Lew Hunter and chat with him. He was distracted at the beginning of the phonecall, then there was a toilet flush, and then chatting in the parking garage, and then he finally started talking to us and then he wouldn't stop. He knew what he was talking about, but man did he do a lot of talking. It was hilarious.

Story number five.

I was having issues writing my script. I didn't understand my main character, I could tell you things about him but I didn't know how he thought. Suddenly it dawned on me, I could make my character a girl! And so now a screenwriting pearl of wisdom has been born, when you're having story issues that seem completely insurmountable, just change the character of your main character.
