So I'll leave you with a smile, kiss you on the cheek, and you'll call it treason...

Today I did absolutely nothing! I woke up and went for a long walk then watched Shawshank Redemption. This past weekend was semi-exciting. Friday night we party hopped, and Saturday I went to a costume/birhday party that lasted maybe two hours befor the campus police made us leave. =( Thats never fun, but it happens. Below is one of my assignments from Screenwriting. We had to write a scene with no dialogue, which was fun. Enjoy and have a nice week! Its November!!!!

FADE IN:

INT. BEDROOM OF AUDREY JOHNSON – MORNING

It is 8:00 in the morning and AUDREY JOHNSON, a 22 year old plain Jane, is lying on her bed in a deep sleep, arms and legs sprawled. Her French bulldog, MARIE ANTOINETTE, lies at the foot of the bed in the same position as her master. The two’s snores are oddly in unison.

Audrey’s bedroom, part of her shabby one bedroom apartment, is just large enough to fit in her full sized bed including the brass bed frame, a dresser she found on the street for free, and her childhood nightstand that barely reaches the bed. Her tiny room is kept rather neat considering the insufficient amount of space. The only window in her room refuses to close completely leaving a constant draft in the room and the need for an abundance of blankets.

INSERT - A shot of the clock shows it change from 8:00 to 8:01 signaling a blaring alarm.

Audrey and Marie Antoinette awake violently, Marie Antoinette barking and prancing in circles with confusion. The dog is obviously older and suffers from inner ear problems causing her balance to be off. She falls over several times, but the situation seems to be a daily routine.

Audrey quickly stumbles out of bed while Marie Antoinette continues to bark, fall over, bark, fall over…

CUT TO:
INT: BATHROOM – MORNING

Audrey sits on the toilet that is close enough to the sink that she is brushing her teeth at the same time. When she is finished she attempts to spit into the sink, but misses and spits on her night gown. Forgetting to wipe, Audrey stands and moves toward the shower while removing her night gown. She hops into the shower and gasps forgetting it is December and the hot water takes time.

CUT TO:
INT: KITCHEN – MORNING

Audrey, wearing a skirt and sweater, rushes around her kitchen searching for Marie Antoinette’s leash. Marie Antoinette tries following Audrey, but stumbles too often to keep up. Finally discovering the leash in the kitchen sink, Audrey attaches it to Marie Antoinette’s collar and storms out of the apartment literally dragging the unbalanced dog behind her.

CUT TO:
EXT: FRONT OF APARTMENT BUILDING – MORNING

Audrey impatiently waits for Marie Antoinette to find a spot to do her business, but every time the feeble dog squats she topples over reinitiating the bowel movement process. A group of children waiting at the bus stop watch and giggle as Audrey encourages Marie.

Audrey glances at her watch noticing she is soon to be late for her interview with NBC. She tugs Marie Antoinette’s leash just as Marie finally settles into a steady squat.

CUT TO:
EXT: FRONT OF NBC HEADQUARTERS – MORNING

Audrey gets out of a cab hurriedly and rushes into the building, making her interview just in time.
