Verdict on The Dark Tower: BOOO! Okay, so it’s not the worst book I’ve ever read, by far (that would be A Tale of Two Cities, never got past the first page). But, shit, Mr. King, could you have done any worse? I personally felt the series started to slip at the end of Book 5. It wasn’t the same anymore. I even loved Wizard and Glass, which most of the people I’ve talked to claim is the worst in the series because it’s all flashback. It still felt series-worthy to me. But this book closed the deal that Book 6 started to make. Disappointed! C- grade on that one. But to anyone who’s reading the series, you have to finish it. I will probably read the whole series through again. Because much as it may not feel like it, it’s still a cohesive unit that can’t be separated.

Still think the first book is the best. Oh, and Stephen King is bad at writing women. Particularly black women with disabilities. Ever heard the phrase, “Write what you know?” Oy.

Finished the first draft of a 15-page screenplay that will hopefully evolve into a 30-page screenplay. At least, that’s what I’m shooting for. Draft 2 is at 18 pages and still going. A big thanks to everyone who helped me work this one out (those of you who read my blog, anyway). You’ll be in the credits. Count on it. I’m already making a list. Best part is that Peter Mulvey (who you all know I am enthralled with) told me personally that I can use his music in my movies. If ever I got an ambition kick, it was then.

Tasha bet me $10 that Sean will propose to me within a year. I laughed really hard, and then I thanked Sean for winning me $10. He gave me a look, but he knows I’m right. The whole conversation came up because I found my wedding dress the other day at “Total Wedding” in Woodfield. And my bridesmaids’ dresses, at that. I’m still looking for pictures, but I didn’t catch the brand name, so it might take me awhile to find them.

I guess that’s it for now. Nothing else too exciting has happened. Night, all.
