--art the footage, it's... I...

I've been away for a while. My computer tells me months, but... it feels like years. I suppose you've all been waiting to find out what happened next. After the incident with the hatch, I knew that it wouldn't be easy to continue. But we've been working on it; repairing the vessel, reattatching the Orionium controller, and trying to get the sound system to stop playing Freedom by George Michael. Honestly, I've been doing none of that.

Because my ma n goal is to\\echo910 get back into that hatch (xy = 2.342) by any means. Whatever we're looking for, it's down there. A literal door to our destiny. Our purp se in l\\sr388\\ife is to 000open that door. That's all we're here to do, and Labrie and Hammett and Moore aren't doing- [muted]- to get it done. And we're all alone out here, now. We have no idea what is go g on, but something is-- [executeprotocol:73hp10x-- allowPassStatic_true:\Y]--

Well, I was gonna post the teaser of a script I'm working on, but the damn formatting is all off. So instead, I'll just post a few ideas which you can all feel free to steal and make millions of dollars off of. But... y'know, don't, OK?

(Working Title) Reality -- A man gets in a car accident and wakes up in a world almost identical to ours, but with a completely changed history. People he knew are entirely different, people he didn't know are causing him an insane level of trouble, and he is forced to figure out the mysterious circumstances which brought him to this place. Ideal cast: David Boreanaz, Jeremy Davies, Michelle Rodriguez.

Midnight Inn -- A very simple scenario: an unassuming small town motel. A new batch of guests every week. And a uniquely mysterious event which occurs for these guests. Everything from a time-travelling FBI agent to a crazy girl seeing things which become reality, to a family who returns after six years and has to relive (and recreate) their experiences since leaving before. And the only constant is a single guest: a man in a suit who appears in every episode, and always somehow connected to these incidents. Welcome to Midnight Inn. We hope you enjoy your stay. Ideal cast: I dunno, different every week. But I'd love to try to squeeze Michelle Rodriguez in, in some way (must not make joke!).

The Day That Never Comes -- Similar to above, a bus stops at a Niagara Falls motel with ten guests. The bus leaves, and it seems to never come back. The guests have to try to figure out a way to get off the is-- I mean, get out of the motel, even under the conditions. A mysterious man who appeared in everybody's past and came in on the bus, who never gets a name, who only seems to watch people, but has the strange ability to will things into existence. Another mysterious man, using the guests as pawns to achieve some end, and who seems to have an antagonistic relationship with the other mysterious guy (lets call him Bob). The guests find out that the bus they were on never actually ran in six years. Spooky, eh? Ideal cast: Nobody who wouldn't make people say: "this episode of Lost had a really strange thing where there was no jungle, and it was a motel, instead. Wait, it wasn't Lost? Odd, I could've sworn... wow, I think I'll look for something different from Lost. Maybe FlashForward." Oh, and Bradley Cooper.

King Nothing -- A show about me, plain and simple. An older version, obviously, but about a funny (cheers) writer, his few friends, his hilarious responses to things which seem to be ordinary situations, etc. Ideal cast: somebody awesome to play me, and besides that I can't think of anybody else (aside from the young, hot, stacked Latina elephant in the room).

Never Never Land -- The story of a man who gets sucked into a permanent dream, living in complete lucidity inside the dream world. He tries to uncover the reason, which drags him into the realization that EVERYONE IN THE WORLD is living inside this dream, though not lucid, never to wake up. He needs to figure out how to stop the people who caused it, and more importantly, how to WAKE UP. Ideal cast: well, ideally I would say a young David Duchovny (X-Files era), Kiefer Sutherland (as a bad guy, with that voice!), and, uh... somebody young, hot, possibly stacked, and maybe Latina to play the, uh... love interest.

The Lost World -- A man is driving along a beach on a stormy night, when he comes across a car crash. Being the hero, he goes after the victim, who seemed to stumble away from the scene. He ends up finding an ancient world, lost beyond a cave wall. A perfect circle, surrounding a perfect circle of a lake, surrounding a perfect circle of an island (but it's not what you think!). No way out of this world, the man starts to examine the ancient ruins, find guardian monsters, find writings about a "ghost monster" which was released from the island when it was last accessed, and try to access the island (facepalm). Meanwhile, his family is looking for him desperately, while a league of extraordinarily mysterious nameless dudes are trying to make sure nobody finds him. The story involves a time loop, an overly grandiose end-of-the-world plot, and (move announcer dude voice) one man to rise up from the ashes of a destroyed world and turn back time. Ideal cast -- I don't know, I should never have added this to the first one! Now I gotta do it for every idea! *runs off in a huff*

Foreseen -- Twelve people have a dream. A dream about each other. Each dream is the same. Later that day, all of these people board a plane. After landing (ha ha, you thought I was gonna go one way, but I didn't!), the people are thrust back together, for each person a different reason (or series of reasons). Along the way, I would incorporate one man who wants to change the way the dream went (man of science... wait for it...), and another man who wants to let it all happen, thinking that any alternative is futile. Also involved? Explosions, a car chase, a perpetually evil corporation who planted the dreams, and the simple idea that a machine could control our fate.

Machina -- To sum it up would be to say: it takes place in a world exactly like ours, but it actually takes place in an elaborate computer program which has made it seem to us like we are actually living our lives, when really it is the computer. In the show/movie the computer would be malfunctioning, causing little events to happen around the "world", leading six protagonists to find out the truth.

There are more, but if you like any of these I should really let you make one, then when your (my) blockbuster is released, I'll post more.

(NOTE: If you aren't stumped, send hate email to Dream Theater, not me)

Well, ladies and gentlemen, everything I love on my computer is gone.

Lemme tell you a story 'bout a man named "Dude". Bravest man around, with all the 'tude. Then one day it would come to be, that all his files would be just a memory. It was a virus, you see, that destroyed his crap. And now he'll have to get it all back. If not for the Trojan that took his stuff, he'd be writing bad scripts about guys that are tough.

But seriously, folks, here's what happened:

The actual cause of The Incident is yet unknown. It may have been a torrent of a TV show (I won't say which one, though), it may have been the recent installation of Sims 2, Seasons and Open For Business (that may not have been entirely legal...), or it may have been something I picked up while simply surfing the internet. The point is: it ruined my life.

It installed something called "Malware Defence", which I automatically knew was a fake anti-virus-that-was-actually-a-virus. On the first computer, I was busy uninstalling Far Cry when the entire system shut off. When it came back on, there was a message saying (I may be paraphrasing, a little): "WARNING, MOTHER****! YOU GOT A ****IN' VIRUS, DICKWEED! YOU BETTER USE OUR OBVIOUSLY FAKE ANTI-VIRUS SOFTWARE TO GET RID OF IT, ASS-HAT!" After that, nothing worked. We couldn't use Task Manager, because it was greyed out. Everything we tried to open resulted in an (obviously fake) error message saying that it was infected. Yeah. Task Manager is infected. Sure. So, we turned the computer off, not knowing that we could never turn it back on. It managed to override the initiation protocol which gives you the Windows XP loading screen upon startup. Nothing worked.

So, we got out my old computer. Hasn't been used in a year and a half. I was unbelievably happy when I saw the cool abstract wallpaper I used to see every day. I was unbelievably worried when I realized that my huge collection of porn was going to be in plain view of my dad ("we", remember?). But most of all, I realized that I had Sims 2 on here, and it wouldn't have caused all of the problems it did on the other computer. Not only that, but I had all my old custom content, as well. It was wonderful to imagine what adventures would soon unfold in Simland. And also, the little "adventure" I would have to go on to get rid of my porn. Which is sad, too. I had quite the collection

Of course, that's what I THOUGHT would happen. But as soon as my dad was finished doing his crap: setting up the internet, uninstalling things that I enjoyed, etc., I went on to find that, somehow, my computer had been infected by the same thing as my dad's. Proceed to blow head off... now.

He spent the rest of the morning, and all of yesterday, trying to get rid of the virus before we had another Incident. He slept two hours last night. I felt very sorry for him, seeing as how I apparently caused it, and all. But he did try to fix it. Unfortunately, I wasn't awake as that process was underway: and I know he saw most of my porn. Thankfully, he's probably the coolest dad alive, and he didn't say anything at all. Everything remained exactly the same. I love my dad.

*ahem* OK, lets try to make this a little more manly, shall we?

I believe most of the virus is gone, except for the Internet Explorer hi-jacking, which is causing the IE process to keep coming back to life, even after I kill it numerous times. On an ancient old bucket of a computer with 256 RAM, having unnecessary processes open is never a good thing. It's not all the horrible, though. The only thing it's really doing is supposedly "coming to the top" every few minutes, and my typing is halted suddenly. It's certainly a nuisance. At least it's not the annoying "Malware Defence" thing, which mysteriously added three porn website links to my desktop. Which is really the calling card of every trustworthy anti-virus program. I must have been pretty smart to suspect that it was a malicious instance. Who would look suspiciously towards an anti-virus program which adds porn links? Wow!

So, that was the newest blog. I know it wasn't really a "reformatting" ("R Word", remember?), but it was close enough.
