backyard crowing ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Your Iowan Existence So, today I had screenwriting, and I'm writing a silly little movie about college students in Iowa who work for a theme park. There are three heroes: Evie wants to be a ballerina, Ella is undeclared and wishes she had a passion, and Sam is the middle ground--he's like the straight man, or even the audience. He strives for goals, but isn't selling his soul for them, either. They live and work at a theme park in Altoona (there actually is one called Adventureland,) and they struggle against "the odds" to "make it" in life. Anyway, it's made for some great Iowa phrases: "There's more to life than your Iowan existence." "Her own private Iowa." "IOWA: Idiots Out Wandering Around." That last one was stolen, but it's here because Iowa. I did not sleep last night and have 2 hours with which to nap. So nap I shall. Into my own private Iowa. Ahhh... 1:12 pm - Thursday, Nov. 19, 2015 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
