Joke of the Day (Thursday, October 22 2009)

Q: What did the big silly bear say to his big silly best buddy Billy?

A: “This old swine flu grizzly doesn’t know the answer to any question not silly, especially if you are the one asking, my good friend Billy.”

Side Note: It’s not often I do topical jokes as my joke-of-the-days but this one was too side-splitting not to post.

Novel Ideas Part 1

Some novel ideas I’ve been tinkering with for my Nanowrimo novel:

1) Two tweens boys go on a fun-filled skiing trip and noone is the wiser.

2) One tween girl and her older friend discover there’s more to their elderly neighbor than meets the eye. A lot more.

3) A dentist tries to brace himself for love but ends up biting off more than he can chew.

4) One dog discovers there is more to his new owner’s dog house than meets the eye

5) A girl falls in love with a boy but its not the kind you are thinking of

6) A rich engaged woman meets a working class guy on a boat that is heading for disaster

7) A hapless magician can do every trick in the book but what happens when he can’t make his one night stand disapear?

#8 a fun-loving gambler who makes all the right bets can’t seem to find a girl
who will sleep with him.

9) A Don Juan uncle finds out the hard way that his niece and nephew really don’t respect him. But that doesn’t stop them from setting him up with their first grade teacher!

10) A boy uses his milk money to buy a prostitute with his friends and his dad marries her.

11) a boy wishes his father can’t tell a lie right as the father finds an ancient mask that makes him a crazy party animal.

12) an unlikely guy has to take care of a baby for awhile.

13) a rough and tumble chef can make any dessert he wants but what happens when his relationship turns into a recipe for disaster.

14) a male and a female who are totally opposites fall in love.

15) A building isn’t the only thing getting erected when a successful architect falls in love with a homeless lady.

That’s it so far. The hard part is narrowing it down to just one. Wish me luck.

The Official Andy Vs. Riley Web Series Wave

Screenplay Preview: “Tweeps”

“Riley,  you’ve already conquered the Web with your amazing 4-part Viresh series. My girlfriends and I have all been wondering what could possibly be next for such a young rising talent? I love you with all of my heart and I never stop thinking about you.” – Anonymous e-mail.

Well thanks for the email Anonymous and you can rest sweetly tonight knowing that your favorite writer/director/actor is already hard at work on his next project. I’ve decided to move onto the next frontier and I’m focusing my efforts on a new dark teen dramedy about Twitter, the popular social networking site.  I’ve been writing the first few pages over the last six months and I thought I’d give all of my readers a chance to check out what I have so far. It’s still in its initial stages as of now but I’ve got a feeling that this could be the Fast Times at Ridgemont High of our generation. I am thinking of Chris Pine and Paris Hilton as the leads. My agent has called it Freaky Friday meets American Pie 2. Feel free to give me any advice/criticisms/plot devices/soundtrack ideas in the comments section once you’ve read it.

mp3: Modest Mouse – “Jawbreaker”

Modest Mouse played this song at a show in Canada in the sweet year of 2000 and as far as I know it was completely improvised. The fact that Issac Brock is coming up with these lyrics on the spot makes this one of the best Modest Mouse songs ever. I lost the mp3 a while ago and for some reason just remembered that I could use Google for finding something like that. It took 1 full minute to get the mp3 back in my possession again and I would like to share it with my wonderful blog followers.

Mr. Hollywood (Me) Predicts Summer Movie Successes

Mr. Hollywood Land

It’s only been a month in the City of Angels and already I feel accustomed to the hustle and bustle of Hollywood. I honestly saw Tyrese (of Fast and the Furious fame)  and Laurence Fishbourne (you know who he is) within two weeks trying to eat chicken at a chicken shop that I eat at once every two weeks. I’M STAR-STRUCK EVERY OTHER WEEK!

Anyway, all of this Hollywood riggamero has given me superior powers of prediction when it comes to determining summer box office potential. This prompted my Hollywood roommates and I to sit around and predict this Summer’s BIG BOX OFFICE films. The result transformed into a massive list hosted on my roommate P-Hollywood (Patrick Sullivan’s) blog: patsully.com. The List is airtight and each of us made our case for the summer film that would either fail or make major bank at the box office (And also if we would pay to see it).

This is a huge deal because at the end of the summer; whoever comes the closest to predicting all of the summer films correctly gets to claim the title of Mr. Hollywood until next summer. WISH ME LUCK!

The List of Predictions can be found HERE.

Who will be crowned this year’s Mr. Hollywood?

Babysitting Baby Hugo

I started babysitting babies recently for extra cashola (money) and the most recent baby added to the mix has been baby Hugo. He is seriously like one of those rock star babies you read about in People magazine. Straight from the movies. More awesome than the babies from Baby Genuises but slightly lamer than the Baby’s Big Day Out baby. All in all, an excellent baby. I took a video of Baby Hugo while he was partying so someday I can show my own kids what it was like babysitting someone cool.

I impart some of my Texas knowledge while Ariana and I travel through The Lonestar State.

Viresh 4: Salvation

“Viresh 4 is a masterpiece. A riveting and spellbinding tale of friendship and turmoil. If you watch one viral video tonight make it Viresh 4: Salvation.” - Andy J. Scott, video connoisseur

Viresh 4: Salvation is done thanks to the directing and editing skills of Mathew Waring. Chris and Riley have had adventures before but nothing like this. You’ve seen them running and you’ve seen them dancing. But nothing compares to the sheer antics that the two of them get into this time. Sit back and let the sweet wonder of this video swallow you. Go to the vimeo site to see it in HD.
