I have some really good blog ideas in my head right now. Some acting anecdotes, another "how to" blogs, but my internet connection is down and the people who should know better than me have no idea what's going on. Hopefully it will be back up tomorrow.

See you tomorrow!

I felt rather guilty this morning that I did not have a blog scheduled to go up automatically. Ever since the beginning of the month I have been very good about making sure there is a post up every day and, as I spend my days searching for movie money, you have lulls during the day that have allowed me to get a little ahead of the game.

I ran out of buffer yesterday.

I'll be back on track soon, but I felt that I needed to absolve myself with a blogged confession.

In the comments section of the last blog, "Did the System Work?", I got a request to do more blogs about my times on "Sabrina the Teenage Witch" and I think that's a darn good idea. I like new ideas so if you feel like there is a subject I'm not tackling that you would like to see let me know!

See you tomorrow!

My brain is cruising at a mile a minute. There are lots of things going on all at the same time and this week is so full that I've had to exercise my time management skills to the fullest – and they really aren't that strong in the first place. A few "in person" meetings have been turned into "conference call" meetings which helped a lot but the week isn't quite over yet.

The nice thing is that the meetings that I have had have been very good! Special thanks to Kimberly Rae Miller for taking the time to meet with René and I yesterday. It was great meeting her and it helped get René's documentary 1 step further.

However, right now, I'm reading and half watching the new SyFy show Warehouse 13. I kinda' like the show. I think the new SyFy name is dumb, even though I understand how important it is to be able to trademark something.

See you tomorrow!

Here's to a safe and happy holiday to all of you out there and a big thank you to all the service people out there making this grand experiment we call the United States possible.

I'll have photos & fun stories from our adventures today in a couple of days!

See you tomorrow!

Today was a good Sunday, so long as you overlook the fact that I returned zero of the calls I got from my friends today. Totally my bad.

As far as things that did happen today René and I got to sleep in today, that was nice. Then we went to a friend's baby shower, also nice. Then we took a nap – see lazy Sunday – and then René, Frankie and I headed to the deep valley, also known as Reseda, to finish filming the short that Frankie stars in. I'm so proud of my boy! After that we headed to Popeye's Chicken & Biscuits for some fried goodness, and now we're watching TV on the couch.

Tomorrow back to business, but tonight more lounging!

See you tomorrow!

Wow, I have not blogged in a while. This is not keeping with the "blog once a day" goal that I am trying to set for myself! I have a lot of comics to review (well, not that many really. I've dropped a few titles) and there are adventures to be discussed!

Unfortunately I will not go into them here just now. I couldn't possibly fit all the excitement and anguish that has gone along with finding movie funding in a mobile blog. Nor could I possibly convey how wonderful our visit was with our friend Skinny Arbuckle was this week. And could this simple mobile blog hold the calamity that was René's laptop crash!?!?! No!!!!!! It most certainly cannot! So I'm going to go now and start the make-up process tomorrow.

See you then!

René and I watched the Tony awards tonight as hosted by the estimable Neil Patrick Harris. I like the Tony's, it does a great job of featuring the art of the stage while putting on display the wild dramatics that go along with the culture of the theater.

I would like to send a special thanks to the sound guys in charge of microphones for the show tonight. During the whole show the mic work was, as they say in France, spotty. While it seemed surprisingly amateur for an award show telecast (although, to be fair, there have been some Oscar presentations that were equally rough) it did allow a rarely heard glimpse into private conversations that normally you see on stage but never hear. My favorite of these was as Jessica Lang presented the award for Best Featured Actor in a play. He came up to collect his award and, as the applause continued the mics were still hot. Ms. Lang congratulated him and mentioned that she saw the show, the recipient asked, before the mics were turned off, "Why didn't you come back stage?" It wasn't any major secret or scandalous comment, but it wasn't meant for our ears and I got a voyeauristic thrill hearing it. There were more all night, each one sending imp-like grins to my lips.

If there's anything that the Tony's does it inspires me to want to go back to New York. I waffle back and forth on wanting to live over on the east coast. New York is an easy city to love, I don't need a car, there's theater everywhere and it's a gateway to the world. But there's always thinking about leaving all of my friends and family behind, not having any job prospects out there and the fact that it is one of the most expensive cities in the world. The Tony's kills all the nay-saying voices and pumps up my excitement! Maybe at least a visit.

Now I need to go maintain my eBay account and get ready for a very busy week.

See you tomorrow! Forgive the spelling, please!

I was asleep and just shocked myself awake. I don't remember what I was dreaming about, but apparently I didn't like it. I fell asleep with my TV on so maybe it was something on the news.

Now I'm awake but would much rather be asleep. I can't wait to read this tomorrow and see if it's even coherent.

Today was a good and productive day. I was able to check off a lot of my list and mostly have a lot of reading left to do, but I am feeling a bit run down and worried that I may be getting a tinge sick. I have that back achy thing that I get and my breath is hot. These are signs that I always see before I actually get sick so I took some Zicam and am resting so as to not get any more sick.

Or it could just be allergies disguised as being sick, but I'm not taking any chances.

René and I saw "Up" today and REALLY enjoyed it! Those Pixar guys are really good at what they do and I'm so excited to see what Pixar boss John Lasseter does with DCA over th next couple years.

Well I'm going to rest for a while and see if I can't get some more work done later, but before I go I just want to thank everyone who commented on or has since discussed with me on my "Hate & Solutions" blog. That's the kind of debate that feels good and helps make some understanding happen.

See you tomorrow!

There is a phrase that the military uses when something goes wrong. It's SNAFU. Its an acronym that stands for Situation Normal, All Fucked Up. That is pretty much what my movie making experience has been this last week.

Without going into too much detail – since this is public – things went a little askew last week and I have been working like a possessed mongoose (for those of you wondering, yes a mongoose, when possessed, is a diligent hard worker) to solve the problems. Thanks to a great team and a shit load of phone calls it looks like we might be back to good, we have to wait until after the holiday to know for sure, but I'm feeling positive.

Now, back to making those return phone calls…

See you tomorrow!
