So, Monday I woke up at 4:45 AM to sit in line for two hours to see Oprah’s Oscar Winners Show at the Kodak Theater. I went with Tracy and to kill the time I decided to put up a post for the blog via my phone. After working on it for about thirty or forty minutes, I went to preview it and it was gone. Deleted. Never to return. I was furious and I didn’t know what to do. In addition to my pain, I was surrounded by thousands (literally) of screaming moms in v-neck blouses. It was insane. These women are certifiably insane. In between guests or during commercial breaks these ladies would shout out to Oprah or Sandra Bullock as if they were friends and going to strike up a conversation from a thousand feet away. In my professional opinion, they all need to be put in a home or on an island. They’re sick… Overall, though, it was pretty cool. I’m glad I did it before she retires.
Today was my first day on set of a movie I’m working for. I got a Locations Job and it’s pretty awesome. I stoked about getting to see writers I admire work and do their thing… and of course the actors too. I’m pumped for the next couple months. It’s going to be a tremendous learning experience.
I’ve been so busy with writing projects lately, I feel like I’ve abandoned my UPDATE blog. I’m not going to. I promise. It was a goal I set for myself and I want to reach it. Joke writing is a great muscle to work, but I promised I wouldn’t force myself to do them if I had other writing projects I needed to attend to. Speaking of; Joey and I are close with our PILOT of the webseries and we think we have a name – Making Lemons Out of Lemonade. We’re 90% sure that this is the name of the show. Ha. In addition, Dan Aho and I have gotten back to our second PILOT – Death in the Family. We were close with it before but both got very busy and had to take a break. However, we’re back at it and very excited about how it’s looking.
