Dear Dr. Jones

Last night went to Marie's for a bit. Mellow Happy Hour. Lots of obscure songs. Then went to Brooklyn to The Brick Theater to see Bring Me the Head of John Ford- there had been some confusion over whether the show was at 9pm or 10pm. Fortunately it was at 10, but I met the director and playwright (the Wimpee brothers) outside ( Read more... )

No playwrighting group tonight at all. It was only me and Elana, so we cancelled.

So they've announced the NYMF Next Link shows:

( All the shows that got picked instead of “Admit Impediments” )

Just got the word that Admit Impediments was not accepted in the NYMF. Disappointing, but it's probably for the best, since I'll be able to concentrate all my energies on Prince Trevor. Nice no-thank you note from Jess, since we've met once or twice.

Huh- Ripley Grier is getting pricey. However, they're currently offering a 50% discount if you ( Read more... )

Happy Birthday jayspec!!!

Yay Ratatouille; Yay Kristin Chenoweth doing a song from Enchanted; Yay Jon Stewart.

I've been trying to eat more at home lately, got some cereal but it's been too cold in the mornings for that. Then I got the bright idea of oatmeal: hot cereal! Oh yeah, Quaker Oats in the house!

Sold another Nabokov on half.com (The Eye). ( Read more... )

Mmm, Ricola.

...And I nearly paid them twice- realized this morning I'd already paid the application fee online through PayPal. Dur ( Read more... )

My ipod! seems inordinately fond of adam22772 and Scott's cover of "Beach Party Vietnam". Each time I've put it on random, it's included that song in the mix.

Was on the website for The Beastly Bombing, which I enjoyed so much in the NYMF, the other day, and found this article from the Jewish Journal which says:
Yes, Nitzberg, who is Jewish, does not ( Read more... )

BREAK A LEG TONIGHT, mollyx AND neoscribe! w00t! Wish I could be there.

Star Trek Tonight! wooooooooooooooo ( Read more... )

So the NYIT Award Nominations have been announced. Kind of disappointed that Admit Impediments wasn't nominated at all. Alas.
I did see a lot of the nominees, and I agree with the nominations of the ones I saw.

Meeting with the new Robot vs. Dinosaur director of Ore after work today. Some coffee shop in the village. Probably Marie's Crisis ( Read more... )

From Robert McKee's Story:

Writing from the outside in - writing dialogue in search of scenes, writing scenes in search of story - is the least creative method. Screenwriters habitually overvalue dialogue because they're the only words we write that actually reach the audience. All else is assumed by the film's images. If we type out dialogue ( Read more... )
