    Raquel Welch has died. Another great one gone with nobody to replace her or carry on her legacy. Now all we have are agenda pushing zombies.

    I was at the dvd section at Walmart and I spotted the movie Grease. It was only 6 bucks! Funny, but on the cover, instead of featuring John Travolta or Olivia Newton John, the stars of the film, it features a pink windbreaker with embroidery on the back that read "Pink Ladies" Hahahahahaha. I guess they've already started pushing their new spin-off. Can't wait to see if it's going to be any good...

    Time for morning coffee then a fun filled day of working from home, or, as it's called these days, teleworking. It's kind of nice working from home. I get to do other things as long as I also do my job. For instance, I can go downstairs and work out in my gym, as long as I pop up to the computer every now and then to see if there's anything new waiting for my attention..

    Mara just wrote "fuck you" to me. Does anyone think that is acceptable?

    We still dont know what happent.... you want us tho guess what happent? I don't know what you where working on nor do I know what you say before the "fuck you" I offend people all the time because my difficulty to understand social interactions. My guess is that you have a similar problem.

    I for instance said in an interview that we did not deserve to be the best movie in a 48H project because our film was unfinished.... I did not think about the feelings the other team members had about our movie.
    the where very proud of what we did make and the felt cheated by my judgement in the interview.

    I suspect you offended Mara and that is the reason for the "fuck you". But because you dont have the empathy to see it from her perspective you dont think you deserved the "fuck you" You just don't see it.... I think that because you also dont see that we can not know what happen between the two of you..... I can only guess, but a guess is not reality.

    UFC FightNight! Yeah!!! Modern day gladiators, that's what they are. I'm guessing their brains are oatmeal but man can those guys and gals throw some hands.

    I'm reading Something Wicked This Way Comes by Ray Bradbury. Man, this is not easy. There is no flow to the writing and syntax is difficult to follow. Almost like there are words missing... Ah well, Stephen King talks highly about this novel so I'm going to stick with it, but after chopping my way through half of it, I don't have any high hopes for the 2nd half..

    I give you credit for persistence. If something doesn't grab me in the first 25 pages or so, I'm done.

    Yes. I'm usually that person too. It always amazes me when people say "I read that book. Oh how awful. So long and drawn out.." I think to myself 'how do they do it? How do they finish a book they are not enjoying??. I've quit several books I could not get into, including Atlas Shrugged, but maybe that was simply because of how long it is. At least this book is only 250 pages.. I'm going to stick with it :)

    Not much going on. Working from home today which means working with my shoes off and my coffee cup full.

    Same. Writing a treatment for one client & script notes for another, barefoot for both :)

    One thing, sitting in front of this computer all day I discovered that Stephen King has a new book coming out next month! Fairy Tale. I pre-ordered a copy.. Do you know what this means, Mara? It means I have something to look forward to!!

    I had a plumber come out yesterday to replace the water pressure regulator on my house. The regulator costs $70 retail to buy and only needs another 5 dollars worth of supplies to install and only took 60 minutes to do the work...I was charged $629.00. .. I don't know. That seems like a lot of money to do a simple job. Oh well, it's only money. I just wish I had more of it. :)

    A former colleague used to say that if he ever had a kid, he'd want them to become a plumber 'cause we all need them and you can't outsource the work to another country. :)

    I hope someone kissed you, because it sounds like they screwed you. Depending on where you live will determine how detailed they have to itemize the invoice. If you didn't get one, I'd request an itemized invoice and go over it line-by-line to make sure he didn't charge you for flushing the lines with nitrogen, or some non-existent "administrative fee".

    My favorite is when they charge you for having to come to your house, as if they could do any plumbing from their office.

    Believe me, I only go to the plumber or electrician as a last resort. I'd much rather spend hundreds of dollars buying tools so I can do the job myself than pay a plumber or electrician, but in this case, in my mind there was something ominous about changing the pressure regulator.
