Well, I saw Garden State last night. I thought it was great. Even though I wasn't in it! I got cut from the film. If I were in it, I think it would have been toward the beginning of the film, when it was suggesting Zach Braff's character was an actor. I don't feel so bad, because there was an actor with a rather long monologue in the scene as well, and he was nowhere to be found in the film.
I have yet to see Spider-man 2, but I understand I'm in it; however, I've heard conflicting reports of where. A friend claims I'm visible in the beginning, my mom claims I'm somewhere else in the film. But she's been known to see me in things where I was not even present!
On a separate front, I have finally put out a first draft of my book for a select group of readers to peruse and offer me feedback. Of late I've moved into trigonometic representations of long-form improv games, and I'm trying to nail down the game theory of the elements, particularly the game theory of the non-metals that comprise organic chemistry. I've expanded and reduced Einstein's theory of relativity into an even simpler game--I'm trying to figure out if the math I used is correct. I'm wondering over these last few days whether I should try to publish an article to get these (what I see as) important ideas out there for the public to digest, and also create buzz for my book. I've never been in a position like this before, and I feel I need some guidance on how to pull it off!
