Screenplay Snippet
I have three screenplays completed. Am currently working on a fourth. All are love stories, oddly. The title of this fourth one shall remain a secret as its just too damn clever.
Interior. Concert Hall. Night.
A Japanese orchestra plays classical music in front of a large audience. KEIKO ( Japanese woman, 40's) plays the violin in the orchestra with passion. The song ends and the audience erupts in clapping and cheers.
Int. Concert Hall. Night.
KEIKO walks down a crowded hallway with her violin in its case at her side.
MALE MUSICIAN
Kyouwa jyounetsuteki datta.
English subtitles
You played with passion tonight.
KEIKO
So?
Subtitles
Really? (I don't think so)
MALE MUSICIAN
Enso shiteru toki wa funikiga chigau.
Subtitles
You look different when you are playing.
KEIKO
I kita kokochiga suru karane.
Subtitles
I feel alive.

Completely unrelated to the above; I have China on my mind a lot lately. I've found a place where I can get free Mandarin language lessons so plan to start that when I get back from out East. Have also found a cultural exchange group where people sort of gather and go out to dinner or whatever. Will get an initial feel of things from that.
Going to the big New Year's Festival down in Chinatown tomorrow with a group. Should be fun.
