trying on an old pair of pants
Sep. 24th, 2007 06:15 pm> It's not raining anymore. Those seem to be the breaks. How anyone expects me to do anything while it's not raining is anybody's guess. MORE RAIN, PLZ. For those playing the home game, our recent 1/4 inch was the first rain this wasteland's had in 150 days. If you ain't got the do-re-mi, go back where you came from, eh?
> I'm finishing my Bones script, which is due in WBC class on Tuesday. The crazy cult leader of the school is having us come to a panel to meet industry managers and producers (not, on it's own, a bad or un-useful thing, but) instead of our LAST CLASS, which was heretofore earmarked for wine-and-beer party, reading of each other's scripts, saying our goodbyes and so on before we leave our class for different people in peer groups for the next two years. And we were a GREAT class. So it's a real shame to go to some stupid-ass panel instead of our last class. I tried to stir up some dissent on the class mailing list -- most of the class agreed with me, and was even planning to bring their own tequila, etc -- but the smackdown was layeth from the instructor, who said that Aforementioned School Leader was "insistent." Le sigh.
> I have what can only be described as an EARACHE, which could be one of those EAR INFECTION things, but since I haven't had an ear infection since, like, day camp, when I was eight, I'm not in a good position to diagnose these things. What does one DO with a sustained earache?
> My new little yellow house, where I live now, is so good it's a shame you all can't come pile on my floor and futon and party with me. Wait, what am I saying? Of course you can! Hop on a train/plane/puddlejumper and getcher ass over here!
> In related news, I need someone at a library in Texas (preferably Houston or Austin) to look something up for me? I also need someone with article-archive/lexis-nexis access to do some looking up for me? I will repay you in money, physical gifts, or submissions of the fannish nature, namely fic of your choice. Also, who lives in or near Nashville?
> In related news to the above related news, I could sure use the help of any freelance writer who's written a cold query letter to a publisher, etc, pitching a book idea.
> Everything else continues apace. In the Bones pilot, they worked at the ACTUAL Smithsonian, which is always entertaining. In the Sarah Jane Smith Adventures, they dropped the Kylie character and replaced her with someone called Clyde, for reasons I don't fully understand.
> My sister found a home for the puppy! Thanks everyone for your advice &c.
