Don’t forget to check Broken Fork out on YouTube. We’ve got a few videos online for you to see, with many more great ideas already shot or in the works! And if you’d like to see us do anything specific, don’t hesitate to let us know!

First off, I’d like to say that I do agree partially with what the WGA is striking for. The writers really do need to be paid for what they do. I think it’s ridiculous that they don’t get paid if I watch a show on a network’s website.

Second, I think that my brain has been on strike with the WGA too. Since they went on strike I have been having problems writing anything creative. I finally was able to get up at 5 AM yesterday to write my radio commercials, but I’m having problems again today.

Third, watch this video about why the WGA is on strike:

I’m trying to map out a couple of ideas I have right now for short films. The war film is one I definitely want to do and try out some special effects now. Nate also emailed me his Assassin stories, which are very awesome and would be seriously fun to make. I’m just trying to get everything in my head down on paper right now.

I think I want to make the war one first, probably in the end of December. I am hoping for snow then for a couple of reasons. First, I want snow in the film, second: I don’t have school so won’t have to worry about driving in it. This is the only time I will ever hope for snow.

I really want to make the assassin ones too. They would probably turn out Sin City style, because the stories are just so descriptive about everything. Maybe we can make those in January.

I’m also trying to think about the whole Broken Fork logo thin as well. Right now I just have that 7 second piece of music with the Broken Fork logo. I’d like to get something actually moving and happening in that like pretty much every intro logo thin has. I’m just playing around with some ideas now, I don’t want to put something up that looks like crap.

Cooking with Ninjas has a rough cut done. I’m looking for some music to go with it, and I think I’ll have it finished in the next time we have lab in class.

I also have to write a 3 page research paper that is due on Monday.

Cory and Nate: We also need to film for your thing. Seriously. Like really seriously.

The ninja received some great product samples from Vat19.com today! These are some really fun products that were awesome to play with.

I got some Insta Snow, which creates snow anywhere by simply adding water. It’s great to play with and very much like the real thing. I tasted some of this stuff, and while it did turn to snow in my mouth, it didn’t taste like the real thing :(.

Also a Smencil! It’s a gourmet scented pencil made from 100% recycled newspapers. Mine smelled like popcorn, which I am not too fond of, but they have 9 other fragrances that smell awesome!

The last item was some killer colored flamed candles! These candles produce a colored flame when lit! Perfect to amaze those little kids with your craaaazy magic!

I was checking out the Vat19 site and found one really awesome item! The Kapoosh Knife Block! It’s a universal knife block that fits any knives you want to stick in it! It fits everything from my little daggers all the way up to a battle axe. Know I don’t have to worry about losing the original blocks that came with my swords, I can just use this Kapoosh Knife Block!

I’m up early for inspiration. I wrote one of the commercials, and now just need one more idea and to write the remaining 3. I’ll be headed down to the springs shortly to try to find my inspiration again.

It’s 1 AM. I am tired. I know I need to sleep. I just don’t want to for some reason. I have to get up at 7:30 and go to school. I also have to have 4 radio commercials written for school. I have ideas for two of the commercials but don’t have anything written. I can’t write again.

I also need to get music together for the TV project. There’s also the 3 page research paper to write by Monday. I just can’t write again. And I can’t sleep, which I will regret tomorrow.

Gonna try to listen to music and look for products to write about.
