Blindness

I don't know if it's because I'm in a city, or it's just Pittsburgh, but I've come across more blind people here than in the rest of my life combined (though that really isn't saying much). And they're amazing. I was riding the bus one day and this woman with a seeing eye dog was there. All she needed was someone to confirm what stop she was at. She seemed otherwise unhindered. And then today I was grocery shopping and a little old lady came up to me and asked if I knew where the baby carrots were. When I attempted to point them out she informed me that she was, in fact, blind. The only clue was a cane over in her shopping cart - no characteristic sunglasses, dog, etc, and she was looking right at me. I was stunned, and after apologizing brought her over to the carrots. My guess is that they must have switched location or something, and she didn't feel like groping all the produce. But other than that...

It's just awesome.

More Poetry

I've updated the Closet Poet page with Sweet Nothings Four through Seven. Why aren't all the Sweet nothings sweet nothings per se? Because they're part of a compilation (which I have the rest of my life to finish) called Sweet Nothings: Poetic Libations of Love, Lust, and Lament (a verbose alliteration of a working title, no?). 

In Transition Preview

So if you were wondering what this sitcom pilot is that I'm working on, maybe this will clear things up. (But I doubt it.)

Sometimes...

In recognition that Coming Out Day was on the 11th I've decided to admit it:

Sometimes I think I'm a lesbian trapped in a man's body - I'm always attracted to women. ;)

Catch Up

So I haven't posted in a while. But I've been busy.

On Sunday I began work on a TV sitcom pilot. Some grad students have connections, so they're making a pilot to pitch to some studio(s). It's essentially a based-on-real-life college student comedy. For the time being I'm figuring out how things are going, so I don't have much to do outside of waving people away from our shoot. But I'll try to move up. 

I got started in it cause I'm a part of cmuTV (our campus TV group). I haven't really done anything for air yet, but I have been redesigning the website.

On a different note, my sister's birthday was Monday. So Happy 16th Kate!

Speaking of birthdays, mine is coming up in 15 days. I know what you're thinking; "What can I get this guy that will show that I care?" Well, if you do care, send me monetary contribution. And the next time I go grocery shopping, or get a haircut (I really need a haircut), or get new shoes (I'm contemplating these), I will think of you.

Oh, and I just got email indicating my heating will be turned on soon!
