Blinded by the Light... "X&Y"... The Dodgers and a Zombie movie - all in one post!

Some silicon sister with a manager mister
told me I got what it takes.
She said "I'll turn you on sonny to something strong,
play the song with the funky break"

And go-cart Mozart was checkin' out the
weather charts see if it was safe outside
And little Early Burly came by in his curly wurly
and asked me if i needed a ride

That's some of the cool lyrics from the song BLINDED BY THE LIGHT. An awesome song! Originally written by Bruce Springsteen but really made a hit by Manfreed Mann in the mid-70s... this song just puts me in a world of my own!

I MUST USE THIS SONG IN A MOVIE SOMEDAY!!!

If you've never heard it, you're missing out. Us thirty-somethings and older will understand...

I think of one person EVERY time I hear it... My cousin DES...

I currently have BLINDED BY THE LIGHT blasting on my iPod speakers!!!

Happy times those 70s were.

AND ON TO "OTHER THINGS"

Coldplay just released their new album called "X&Y" and I don't have it. And I want it. And it WAS my birthday on Saturday so... I might just have to get it.

MY LOS ANGELES DODGERSYesterday I had the opportunity to go to the Dodger game. Steve's rep gave him some good seats in the orange section. Crappy game but fun times!!! I bought Jake one of those plastic batting helmets. I use to love mine growing up as a kid. My dad bought it for me. Its weird.... I bought it for Jake.

I did some photo-stitching. Took about five pictures panning from left to right of the stadium and used Canon's Photo-Stitch software to put it together for a very nice panoramic view...

Look at it here: DODGER STADIUM

I ate a Dodger Dog with everything on it, 3/4 of Jake's Dodger Dog with ketchup, two $8.00 beers, some peanuts and cotten candy.

One highlight of the game was the fact that the Dodgers were playing the Detroit Tigers. Kurt Gibson is a coach on the Tigers. They announced him and he stepped up the dugout stairs and I gave him a standing ovation.

I had to fight back a tear. And only Dodger fans will understand the love. :)

Here are some pics of the evening.


I made Jake call James to rub it in that we were at a Dodger game!

Not once did Jake ask me to buy him a bat or ball. Odd.

Colby and Jake ended up having a fun time toward the end as the sugar from redvines and cotton candy set in.

Dodgers lost: 8-4.

THAT THING ABOUT ZOMBIESDale called me up and asked me to write a script for a short. He wanted a Zombie movie. So I came up with this in about an hour. I think it was less but I pumped it out and am really considering a horror feature. I've never really written anything like this and I think I came up with some decent characters. I just need to develop it. So here it is if you want to read it... "Priory of the Dead" by Glenn Magas - Zombie writer extraordinaire!

FYI I know nothing about Zombies. Well, I know that they Zombie around. I think the only Zombie movies I've watched are "LIFE FORCE" (1985) and the classic, "Night of the Living Dead" (1968). And of course "Michael Jackson's THRILLER" (1983).

I did fight some Zombies once back in the early 80s as I pillaged a dungeon so I do know what its like.

But I did some research prior to the script. You know... how to kill a zombie, what types of zombies there are and how they move and stuff. Fun stuff actually.
