April Showers

Bring May flowers. Except, it never rains in SoCal. Though, it's been very foggy and cloudy as of late. Gloomy comes to mind. So much for sunny California.

Anyway, it's been a VERY long time since my last post. Things have just been crazy busy. Landed at ABC supporting a VP in Business Development. We're adjacent to the Disney lot and situated between casting and the movie dpt., so there have been celebrity sighting galore (more on that later).

My producers are in the process of optioning my script and bringing in a new writer in to beef up my characters. I'm done with it, so it's all good. Started a new script a couple weeks ago that's going exceptionally well.

Also, a few weeks ago, I injured myself playing tennis. Wacked myself in the face, right above my eye. Cut myself open, but no stitches. My eye swelled and I had a nice shiner for about a week. It's still healing, however.

Did anyone hear about the Hollywood fire recently? Some kids visiting from Illinois accidentally started it and the hills behind Warner Bros. erupted in flames. The hill behind our office bld. was on fire, and when the smoke shifted north, it engulfed our entire building. So they let us go early because the smoke seeped in and it was hard to breathe.

So celebrity sightings: Ryan O'Neal (who patted me on the shoulder), Dave Navarro & the actor who played David Palmer on "24" at Hollywood staple, the Palm Restaurant; Leonardo DiCaprio & girlfriend at Pinkberry's on Santa Monica; Queen Latifah & her girlfriend at Crunch doing the elliptical next to me; and at work: Eva Longoria, Sir Ben Kingsley, Luke Perry, Scott Wolf, Jerry O'Connell, Debi Mazur, director Christopher Guest, Desperate Housewives creator Marc Cherry, director James Burrows, and a host of other character actors you all would recognize.
