i hope that we die holding hands...

What happened to my comments?! (Ignore this statement, if you indeed see my comment link appear below.)

A piece of mine (as well as a piece of C's) is gonna be in a show called 7eleven, put up by the fine people of . The concept of the show is 7 pieces, each 11 minutes along, taking place in convenience stores. I think it's going to go up toward the end of February and run for three whole weeks! And I don't have to act! Whoopee!

I'm actually pretty psyched about that prospect. It's going to be running Thursdays through Sundays, with an extra matinee on Sundays, for three weeks. Twelve shows in all, and there's no way we'll be able to make it to all of them, so conceivably we'll have our pieces being performed while we're elsewhere. What a novelty...

(It helps that the people all seem cool, so far...)

Monday night, we saw the cast of the "The Simpsons" on "In The Actor's Studio". (Fucking brilliant.) Tuesday, we had our first 7eleven meeting. Wednesday, I had to work late, and ran into Steve and he bought me a drink. Thursday (last night), C got us free tickets to see Paul Newman and Jane Curtin in a production of "Our Town" that's being put up in the Boothe Theater. (Not so great, but it was their last dress rehearsal before previews.) Tonight, we're seeing Erwin in "Romeo & Juliet". (He's playing the Leo Dicaprio part.) Saturday night, we've gotta see Ed&Cindy in their show at the AAWW.

Barely enough time to keep it all straight...

Slash with a Knife

Jesus, I'd really like to do something new with my crappy blog layout (that nobody looks at anyway), but I can barely get myself to post entries, let alone spend the extra time I'd need to figure out a new layout scheme...

And I have way too much to work on as it is. We must keep focused, if any of it is to get done...

I was in slideshow training Tuesday through Thursday of this week. I'd try to explain the significance of this, but life is too short. It's just for work. And it's been a lot better than doing ACTUAL work. Though it means, come Monday, I've got to do MORE work...

Sorry the commenting on this thing is a little screwy. Alternatively, you could scribble a little note to me on a Post-It and give it to me the next time you see me.

I felt inclined to update my blog today, but it occurs to me now that I really have nothing new to say. Billy Corgan was right... the world *is* a vampire...

This is a great site:

How Does It Feel To Be One Of The Beautiful People?

Welcome back, lack of readership!

I reacquired commenting capability through the kind folks at ENETATION, so feel free not to leave comments.

I take full responsibility for the withering of hits. Lately, I have been too busy for the level of procrastination that writing blogs requires of you. And why would anybody keep checking a site that never gets an update?

Progress *is* being made on my site (GhostOfTheFuture.com), though you won't find any of it up as of yet.

Been writing a lot. Two theater pieces. One is currently called "When I'm God". The other serves as the prologue for a full length called "Chinadoll Overdrive". Both will probably be seen some time in the early quarter of the new year. More information when the crystal ball gets clearer.

Have to fill out more film festival applications. I've done a little more tinkering with the piece since screening it a few times and getting some helpful feedback. Don't know if I can get into any of these festivals, but we must do what we can. I know I'm supposed to play the part of the cocky Asian filmmaker and make bold boasts about my impending stardom -- and I certainly have my share of "cocky" in me -- but I am trying to stay focused so that I might not fail where others have before me. It is a very long road out of hell.

I love writing these long entries as if I'm writing to a large audience -- when maybe all of 2 or 3 people in the world will ever read this...

(Hi, Stephie.)
