Humble Egomania

The Unimportant Self-Important Musings of a Philadelphia Screenwriter

I feel like Loki is misguided/opposite Hercules. Herc discovers he’s actually the son of a god and Zeus gives him a flying horse to help him prove himself and he rises to the challenge and is accepted at Olympus. Loki finds out he’s not the son of a god and then Odin goes and takes his eight-legged horse-child for his own purposes and anything poor lanky non-Herculean Loki tries to do to prove he’s a worthy son is just met with, “No, Loki.” 

Excuse me while I listen to “Go the Distance” for the umpteenth time.

If Aaron Burr lived in an apartment building this weekend, he would totally set off the fire alarm by trying to use a barbeque grill inside.

The fire alarm in my building just went off. We’re all outside and confused.

For chrissakes, Aaron, stop lighting yourself on fire.

A book I don’t recognize? What is this wizardry?
Apparently it’s a children’s book.
I’m curious as to how the complicated rituals of affairs of honor are described to children: ‘sticks and stones may break your bones, but words have the ability to put a bullet in your spine. So think before you speak or stfu.’
But this is why I don’t tutor.

‘sticks and stones may break your bones, but words have the ability to put a bullet in your spine. So think before you speak or stfu.’
I vote we send Publius back in time and say that to Hamilton’s face

“It is the fourth.”

“Thomas Jefferson survives.”

“My dearest friend…”

This is just some historic miniseries. All the facts are already known. Why am I sobbing uncontrollably?

Last night I dreamt I was wandering around Old City, eating ice cream, when I decided to stroll by the First Bank. And it was open. For one day only. So I immediately ran inside for a presentation and then convinced a Parks Service employee to give me a private tour and I kept flailing and geeking out and trying to find Hamilton and then I woke up.
