oh man...

it's not even 11 o'clock in the morning on a monday and i'm having an absolutely fucking great day.

a) i wake up in the morning and actually wake up in the shower.
b) i feel like dying right before class starts, but actually stayed awake for the entire lecture, and found that the lecture was pretty damn cool.
c) i go to the library (where i am right now...)and check my email. That's where i find that in a span of 8 hours, i've gotten 3 emails. all emails that i started early early early this morning.
d) first one's from Orscon Scott Card's assistant. i'll let the email speak for itself:

I would like to see Ender's Game/Ender's Shadow as a possible motion screen movie. how would orson scott card feel about that, and if he approves, how would he go about bringing it to life?


It's already in the works.  Warner Bros. with Wolfgang Peterson, will be doing the movie with OSC as the screen writer.  Although it will be called Ender's Game, it will definitely combine both Ender's Game and Ender's Shadow.  He's only finished the first draft of the screenplay at this point, so I don't know what's in and what's out, but with OSC writing it, we can't go wrong!

Thanks for writing.

Sincerely,

Kathleen Bellamy
Assistant to OSC

now you know how chandler and joey jumps around all happy and stuff? that's how i feel NOW. and that's only the first email! right now, i feel like dancing around, but i'd probably get kicked out of the library for that. As if the email from the assistant wasn't cool enough, check this:

e) i made a mistake when submitting my question to Orson Scott Card's website, and so i ended up sending two emails instead. however, i also got two emails in reply. here's the second one:

ok. as if i couldn't get even more excited, there's a place where they actually say that Warner Brothers is actually coming out with the movie.

HOLY FREAKING CRAP. So you can imagine that my heart is about to leap out of my chest. An Ender's Game movie! i have the greatest timing in asking questions... the force is strong in this one. >ecstatic< anyway....onwards.

f) i got an email from my TA saying that my essay was pretty good and that with the rough draft that i have, i have a solid C. now, that may seem like a bad thing to most people...but my essay is really crap. so it can only get better and upward from a C! yes!
g) so that's 3 emails. but my not-even-half-way-over-great-day isn't done. oh man.
h) i check ain't it cool after reading the small article about the Ender's Game Movie. supposedly tears of the sun is a really good movie. read some reviews and whatnot, and i've heard decent things about it. excited about that.
i) i read on. i look up who wolfgang petersen is. he's apparently the director of the perfect storm and air force one. that and he's got a movie slated for 2004 called "Troy". dude. brad pitt as hector? orlando bloom as troy? sean bean as odysseus? eric bana as hector? (he's from the hulk, by the way.) brian cox as agamemnon? (he was in The Ring, Super Troopers and some other stuff....) this movie is going to rock ass.
j) i found on ain't it cool again that MI:3 is coming out. and it's by the director for Narc...and i heard a lot of good things about Narc. the director of Narc did one of BMW films, Ticker...which i really really liked, so MI:3 might just be damn good. have always like mission: impossible. it seems like it may turn into an almost james bond thing. heh
k) i'm listening to the evanescence cd. the more i listen to it, the more i like it. right now, the best 10 bucks i've spent on a music cd.

it's just been a pretty good day so far...i'm hoping it'll get even better.

boo yah.
