Welcome back writers from the picket lines and get those shows rolling. I hope no one is feeling rusty after the 100 day break. I am dying for some new Office and worrying that LOST will have nothing after the next six weeks. More than 90% of the 3,775 writers who cast ballots in Los Angeles and New York voted to immediately end the strike. You have to wonder what about that 10%, what are they thinking?
I didn't go on strike, I am not part of the guild. So I have no excuse for not blogging yesterday. I had plans to and thoughts in my head but I had not time during the day and procrastination at night.
Over the weekend I was talked with my improv pals and told them that I found a new screenwriting software that actually works on linux. It is called
Celtx and it is free. I didn't know at the time, whether it worked on Windows or Mac also but I did find out, it does for both. A bunch of screenwriters know about it already but I was thrilled that someone built this program.
I performed Monday with my improv group and I was a little nervous because I saw that Chris N. and Pinguino showed up at the theater. I was happy to see support of my friends but it is always a little nerve-racking not wanting to disappoint them. I performed in the second half of the show and it was ok, there was a couple problems that caught up to us but overall, there were laughs. After the show I saw Hey, Uncle Gary perform and then a couple of us ended up at Birds. I didn't see Chris and Pinguno after the show but Chris and I planned on catching up at the Kings Head. I ended up being exhausted and went to sleep.
Yesterday I ordered another green screen for my video stuff. I am excited to get it into my possession. It is larger that my current setup, this screen is 15' x 10' with stands and supports. I bought some more cheap lighting also at the store but when I got it home I saw that one of the switches was broken during shipping or something. I am going to try to take care of this after work. Its just a shame since I found these lights close to work and I found them cheaper right around the corner from my house. I shot some video the other day for a favor and I noticed I could light it better.
Today is Armadilliz's birthday. I sent her an email last night with a slacker.com station that I put in her favorite artists. She emailed me back, telling me thank you and wishing me well. I then commented on her MySpace to say Happy Birthday. From what I understand the weather is not great today in New York and there is a chance for snow tomorrow. Why do I ever think about returning?
Tomorrow is Valentine's Day and I am single. Last year my Valentine was Armadilliz and we really didn't celebrate much since her Birthday is a day before. I think I will post a bulletin for a female drinking partner for tomorrow night.
I planned on going to Vegas because it is a three day weekend but I just found out I have to work on Saturday night. Blowing the chance to go to Vegas. I don't think the work will be complete Saturday night but I will just take a couple days off the next week I hope. Tonight I don't know what TV exists but I think I am going to go catch a show or hang out with Jimmy. If all else fails I can play with lighting or grab a drink with Chris N.
