I ... I think .... I think it's done.

"It" being my pilot for Busted Eardrums.

Granted, it's now a Part One of Two, but holy crap on a cracker .... I think that it's done.

I ... *walks away in a daze*

i. I'm trying to find a song with an amazing amount of profanity that one of my characters can quote (he only speaks in lyrics), and I happened to listen to a clip of "My Way" by Limp Bizkit. I was immediately transported back to the spring of 2002, when we would blast that song and many others (including Incubus's "Warning," repeated ad nauseum ( Read more... )

Been incommunicado of late. What with pilot season, season premiere season, and working for a living, nothing of interest has been happening. Nothing worth reporting, anyway.

Been getting 40 hours a week, sometimes more if they need me. I've become the product trainer for the department, and what with Comedy Central showing Scrubs every night, ( Read more... )
