Back on the chopping writing block.

Wednesday, December 14th, 2005

Dean has finished his revisions and has, in accordance with protocol, given the script back to me. Although this moment of near-completion is damn exciting, it is also damn scary.

Check out this list of the 50 greatest indies. I think a couple of these are a little contentious (Life of Brian is number 5, but Run Lola Run [or,or] is number 49), but keep in mind this is a Brittish list (and those limeys don’t know what they’re talking about)

Introspection/Self-reflection is Dead, but…

Friday, December 2nd, 2005

I received an email from my brother, Andy, yesterday complimenting me on my web journal. I emailed him back, “Thanks for the positive words about the site and all but I can’t seem to get anyone to read it - I think I’m screaming into the wind.” He sent the following reply:
