okay.
so monday i got a call in the evening saying we were going to get our pickup tuesday morning. awash in an ativan/ambien haze, i went to sleep (easily) buzzed and hopeful, only to wake up at 8 am the next morning to find out our network was gone. as my friend liz put it best, "your luck is so bad that it takes down whole networks". so, no pickup. at least, not yet. no one knows what this new network will be doing with the old networks' development slate, but all i know is we are still in the running without ANY idea when we'll hear. this sucks because out of our list of 30 directors, at least 15 are already gone, not to mention talent being scooped up daily.
on the other side of things, i bid on an apartment in tribeca. okay, chinatown. more on that later, but it's a part of new york history, and if i get it, i think i may just go into shock.
saw "brick" on tuesday, and was underwhelmed. it felt like a short that went on too long. greg turned to me halfway though and said "is this bugsy malone?" and he was right.
i do nothing all day but wait for the phone to ring now. even the dog is laying low. i have smoked more cigarettes in the past two weeks than i have the past two months. i am picking fights with people left and right, but only deserved ones. i barely sleep without aid, and am playing "need for speed" much more than i should be. i don't even have the attention span to make it through "love monkey", although that's probably a good thing.
more later.
