your vodka smoothies sound inspired, and really, to-do lists are more of a hobby than anything else, esp. in the summer.

also: you're writing a pilot? you wouldn't happen to know the proper formatting for series treatments, would you? ...I just started a tv thinktank with a friend. it's very if you want something done, you have to do it yourself!, plus a great way to spend happy hour, and now all we need is formatting advice, so if you have any, I'd appreciate it.

also-also: buttons in french were very disorienting for a moment there. clearly I have heatstroke.

in our house, it is smoothies rather than such arbitrary things as calendars and weather that define summer.

i am so very much in research mode for the pilot right now (because, why write something that has a chance in hell of being picked up when i can write something set in elizabethan england, i asked myself), so my formatting skillz, as it were, are vaguely nonexistent. i have this book, which my mother bought me when i mentioned this whole crazy endeavor and which seems to have some useful info (how much of it is "take with a grain of salt," i do not know, but it seems like a decent enough basic reference-- and, hey, i got it for free, so).

see how little help i am? i finally decided to just plough ahead, do the research (oh my, it is amazing how much everything i know about the era in question is a)from shakespeare class and b)from shakespeare in love and elizabeth), outline things, etcetera, and sort of figure out the formatting as i go.

also: once upon a time, my comment links were in russian.

yeah, calendars are overrated. it was may in my room for most of last year because that picture was prettiest. I haven't tried the smoothie idea yet but I had a fancy drink at a restaurant the other day that turned out to be basically a spiked slurpy, and it was pretty fantastic.

elizabethans! hee! the novelty alone should get you pretty far, I think. especially if it involves ye olde ER or shakespeare's drinking buddy who is a private eye.

thanks for the book rec. want me to pass along formatting info when I track it down?
