I'm Just Sayin'

So I am probably going to not be writing as much for the next couple of weeks because I am swamped-or in LA we say "crazed", but it is great! I am writing a new sitcom that I LOVE, it is so funny. Yay. I am taking a comedy writing class for the next 10 days that requires I do one assignment a night. I am working on a feature film-animation-the day job I am working on a short-animation-the day job I am signed up for a bunch of other writer panels & I just got a mentor-the awesome Megan Crane-through the Chick Lit Writer's group I belong to, so will be on the novel as well.. Things are AWESOME, I am just busy!!

OMG! How many Asian orphans had to bleed their fingers to the bone making this sequin nightmare just so she could look this stupid? Do I really need to say more? Okay I will say just a bit more. She is too pale to pull this off, the shoes are WAAAAAAAAY to high for her, and the skirt is too short. Just sayin'

Some days I just love to do nothing. Isn't that terrible? What a waste. But to be fair, it isn't really nothing as it is enjoying life and my nothing usually consists of running all over town, shopping, doing errands, hanging with my pooch and doing either drawing or writing. The art of relaxing! :0) Hope you are all having a great weekend. XOXO *not sure who did this drawing-found on the web. I like to add visuals but don't always have time to draw them.

Ever come home late, say from a networking event and need to eat something, so you grab some pasta and or possibly stir fry rice? You know, something you can whip up and then "eat the rest tomorrow" because let's face it, it's late, you aren't even going to have one serving, much less the whole lot. I like to call this: The One Serving Plan Goes Awry. It goes like this, you make the plan for just a nibble, because one serving is usually so small you couldn't fill even the a 5 year old's tummy with it. Okay, so you have the plan, you make the food, you take a small amount and put into your bowl, plate, cup whatever, then you put the rest in a container to store overnight in the fridge for tomorrow. "Yay! I won't have to cook lunch now!" You say to yourself as you walk way to have the rest-now. All of a sudden your bowl is empty! What? How did that? What? It's empty? But I am still hungry! So you walk back to the container, because it is j...

Okay I am sorry but I have to say it. I can NOT stand video web blogs. When I am interested in something, I do not want to watch a video, or I would be watching a video. I like to read blogs, not watch them and sorry to say it, well okay I am not really sorry, but 99.9% of you who are doing these, do not know how to speak on camera and it is really hard to watch. As well, I can't stand blog pod casts that are replacing actual meetings with people. This is happening more and more. There will be an add for a lunch meeting or talk, and then come to find out I have to log into my computer and listen to some damn radio talk? I want to connect with people in real life. Workshops that are done this way have zero appeal for me and I really find it sad that any idiot with a camera thinks they are a talk show host and for me, it just doesn't work. You tube has made it possible for independent film makers to get their work out there and that is great, but it is also ruining people's w...

I can't believe I haven't written since Monday! Busy busy busy week. Have been working a lot on the film, as well as got a request for my novel, so had to print it out (how old school, but I love it) and send it. AND have been sending my episode of "Christine" out, so not so much time for blogging, but I got new glasses which make working a lot better and then writing is easier on the eyes as well! Cheers and I will write a real blog this weekend. :0)

Do you have a case of the Mondays?? I guess if I worked for the real version of this man in the middle of America with no prospects and nothing to look forward except being harassed about my missing TPS report, I might too-but thankfully I don't and so I am excited every week. I love Mondays and really don't know why people are so down on them! Do you not have an awesome job that you love like I do? Did you settle for that steady paycheck instead of chasing your dream? Well then, you have no one to blame but yourself. Don't blame poor Monday. Mondays are great because the week is just beginning and the possibilities are ENDLESS. You never know what could happen by Friday. For example. I am sending my book to Dublin today, so maybe by Friday I will have a publishing deal: that would be fast, but who knows? I am going out a couple nights this week, and so maybe by the end of the week I will have a new guy to hang out with? Maybe a job offer will come on Wed. Maybe someone wil...
