In an incredible display of mid-twentieth century sense, it is now illegal to make a lane change without signaling in Florida! Wow. What's next? Passing in left lanes, helmets for cyclists, mandatory recycling, night road construction, car pooling?!
Anyway, enough of my disdain for this urine soaked hell hole.
I have a good movie recommendation for horror fans and especially giallo fans. "What Have You Done to Solange?". A little gory, but more disturbing than straight up blood spilling. I give it 3.75 shots down the hatches out of 5.
Wrote another 10 pages of Dead Trends today, after 18 yesterday. I now stand at 69.1 pages in 7 days. I may just finish this one within my self imposed deadline of ten days. Didn't think I could do it again, especially since this script will be longer than Generator. We shall see.
Lets hear it for Ebay, and the buyers of my 6 DVD's. I wanted to get rid of some doubles, (Goodfellas, American Psycho, Casino, True Romance, From Dusk Til Dawn and Scarface) since I bought the special editions. Worked like a charm! Averaged about $9 each, including shipping.
I am waiting for word back for the three contests I entered. I find out the finalists of one the first week of August, and Scriptapalooza Quaterfinalists are announced on July 29th. The Nickelodeon Fellowship, I have no idea about. I remember reading end of August, but now I can't find anything about the winner announcements. It'll take a miracle to win anything, but I'm damn well deserving of one.

any big contests coming up this fall? Sept-Dec dates? I am wondering if I'll be able to make one of these or polish it and wait until the spring ones
To MQ: I'll check Moviebytes.com for big contests in the fall...I can't remember. I kind of go month to month without knowing what is coming. There is a small contest that's coming in the Fall. I entered it last year and finished 20th. It's a nice, small contest judged rather fairly by other submitters. The good thing is, there are two divisions and you never review a script in the division yours is in, so there's no harm is giving a positive review. http://www.screenwriterscommunity.com/
TO JDC: Isn't it unbelievable? Here I am screaming at people for cutting me off without using a turn signal, and they were in the right, for all intensive purposes. And motorcycles do that in Jersey, too. I never understood the law that allows a cycle basically free reign on the roads like that. I'm sitting in a 10 mile backup, and cycles are zipping by in between cars. God forbid we opened a door.
How was LA? I'm contemplating when and where in LA to move.
Sounds cool, and exactly why I tell my girlfriend Katie we should go. How was the neighborhood you were in? And was the price reasonable?
I'll most likely move back to Jersey to film a couple of my scripts, then after about a year of reminiscing with the old crowd, hitting the road again, this time to LA.
Well, considering I'm paying $650 a month now, what's the difference? 200 is very doable. We actually found a few high rises in Hollywood/LA and they were quite nice, and the price was very manageable. I don't know the area too well, and living in a high rise with earthquakes possible at any moment kind of left us undecided. But I'll definitly be there in the next two years.
6am? Goddamn boy. Get to bed earlier.
I've only been in the States for a year. My first (and hopefully) only visit to Florida was to St. Pete's beach in the Spring. Wasn't too impressive.
