First of all, someone broke into my car again. This time all they took was the garage door opener. I had my doors locked so they had to crawl in through my back windows. Who's such a jerk that they climb into your car just to take your only means of getting in and out of your building? After they've already robbed you of everything else?
I wasn't sure before, but now there's no doubt I'm moving out of Koreatown.
In the meantime, I'm a busy bee.
I'm still in the process of revisions for the spec pilot I'm working on with Writing Partner and that's going slowly but steadily. I just started work on a new feature which I teased yesterday, and while I was at lunch with a friend we got to discussing the story. She got really excited and had some good ideas about what to do with some of the characters and now she wants to write it with me. So now I have Second Writing Partner.
Then at the gym Personal Trainer, who is an actor since all personal trainers in Hollywood are actors, came up with an idea for a Sunday shorts group. I write a couple of cheap shorts and we get together on occasional Sundays and shoot them with a hand camera and practice our craft and have a little fun artistically. And maybe after we've done that a while we can graduate to something on a professional level. I'm completely in.
And three people have asked me to read their scripts and I have like eight books to read and on top of that I have to somehow find time to grade papers and watch Heroes. Oh, and post blog entries. And move out of my apartment.
Apparently I'll have to develop an addiction to mini thins. Or coke.

First of all, you need to move. I know you know that, but you should make that as top of a priority as possible. If this happened twice, it's gonna happen again. If you want to stay in the general area, start looking in Hollywood, Los Feliz, Silverlake, Echo Park. Look for streets and areas that are relatively well-lit at night. The worst that's ever happened to my car where I live--one of the areas above--is somebody scraping the tag off my license plate. Extremely annoying, yes, but hardly comparable with having to replace a broken window.
ReplyDeleteThe Sunday Shorts Group is a great idea--I've been involved with that sort of thing myself. Get set for some major disagreements with some of the people you're working with, though.
Stick to the mini-thins. I hear Coke is expensive and you'll need it for your new apartment:-)

And as long as Babel doesn't win for best pic... the Oscars may not be a total bust.
Next time I'm out there, I'm buying you a freakin' drink.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, I just noticed that you weren't on my blog-links so I added you.
