Day 19: still can’t find my feet

tummy trouble

Little bunny was so wriggly today we decided to see what she’d do if we helped her get where she seemed so determined to go.  Turns out she didn’t really have a plan.  Seemed at a bit of a loss, really.  She’ll probably have it worked out for next time.

How to make cookies last longer: add raisins.  Boo.

Listen to this guy – complaining that his beloved wife made cookies and they have raisins in them.  What a loser.

Yeah, a loser that isn’t crazy for raisins.  Ha.  Zing.  Got you there.

Errm… anywho.  Lee and Tom are in Miami this weekend shooting for L’Oréal Professionel.  Normally I would be the designated shooter for this, but I’m already in a full time gig getting a new family rolling.  Marjorie is healing like a champ and I don’t doubt that we’ll be green lit well before the full six weeks, but thanks to a progressive-minded employer, we don’t need to rush.  And besides, Tom is an exceptionally talented photographer.  Just don’t have too much fun without me, you bastards.

Man, I’m itching to share the feature script Chaos has been working on.  It’s just so damned fun.  It’s long, as I have mentioned, but the more we comb through it looking for elements – even lines – we can drop, the more we realize this is a long movie and that’s all there is to it.  Not like you’ll notice the time.  This is a packed script.  Packed with awesome juice.  And really, my philosophy is that you should share this sort of thing.  Far and wide.  The more people aware of a thing, the less likely anyone will think they can get away with pilfering it.  Having said that, it’s no accident that Armaggedon and Deep Impact showed up in the same summer.  True story – they mention it in Tales from the Script.  So this young undiscovered writer will keep his trap shut, and you’ll just have to wait.  As for us, we’re getting tired of waiting, so we’re looking into producing it ourselves.  Just gotta figure out how to produce a ten million dollar picture for about a buck fiddy.  Know any really talented producers?

It’s just so damned fun.

Also fun: this software we’re building.  Also can’t tell you about it.  But I will show you.  In January.  If I can.  We might be in closed beta for a while.  But let me say this about that – if you work in a consultation-based business (and about a third of us do), you are going to line up for this app.  Yes, you are.  Oh this is going to be a hell of a ride.  Giggity.

Did I mention little Avery has grown out of some of her newborn clothes?  Dude, she’s two and a half weeks old!  She could play basketball if she knew what to do with feet.  And hands.  Depth perception would be good, probably….  Ok, maybe she can’t play basketball yet.  But she’s a long noodle.  And the cutest bunny ever.  When she screws her face up for a good yell I have to clamp down on my laugh so she won’t get doubly mad.  ahhh we have fun.

Remember the alleged cigarette smoke?  It could be some sort of deal with one of the AC units.  Freon is an inert gas, but I’m told it can have a similar effect on breathing.  Today was fine – open windows all day long.  But if it persists as the weather cools off we will have to take meaningful measures.  The building folk are awesome, so I know if we make the call, it will be seen to.

The building folk really are awesome.  If you are looking to rent in the five boros, you’d do well to look right here.  And this neighborhood is exploding.  It’s like Yaletown (in Vancouver) when Yaletown finally took off.  Yeah, that’s right, we live in the Yaletown of New York.  Kid-friendly (though still with more pet daycares than kid daycares – opportunity!), close to everything except the noise, gorgeous view of the ‘hat (manHATtan?  No?).  And between you and me, Marjorie has been talking about buying in the neighborhood.  That’s how awesome it is here.

Life is sweet.  Have a super fantastic awesome (Canadian Thanksgiving) weekend.  Hug somebody.
