Spoke Too Soon?

I found out after visiting with my sisters in Connecticut on Friday (in my mind, kind of a goodbye before LA, especially the one who was up from South Carolina, whom I haven’t seen in almost five years) that my bro is not out of the woods, yet. He suspects his rash may be T-Cell Lymphoma, even though the biopsy came back negative for cancer. However, many biopsies come back as false negatives. Apparently, his rash looks identical to pictures he found of T-Cell Lymphoma. So he’s hustling to find a specialist in FL before the cancer (if that’s what it is) develops any further.

Nothing to report on the screenwriting front. Wrote several pages this week, but nothing this weekend. Friday I was in CT, yesterday I went to a cocktail party with Raul and a friend from Paris and we all went to see an off-Broadway play about actress Anna May Wong. It was a snoozer (literally), though it was interesting to learn about this Chinese-American actress’ life and her friendship with Marlene Dietrich, darling. Maybe I’ll get some writing in today, though it’s such a beautiful day, so I want to go outside. Plus, we have dinner plans with our friend from Paris tonight. Not to mention, gotta go grocery shopping.

Random thought: Angie did not do a very good job of defending herself on “The Apprentice” the other night. For cripe’s sake, according to the list of things to do, almost everything laid on her shoulders. Alex should have delegated more evenly. No wonder Angie cracked during the presentation. All Chris had to do was purchase the tech toys … and he lost the credit card? You’re fired!

Random thought II: On “24” even though I suspected it was coming for weeks, I was still horrified -- HORRIFIED -- when they shot down Air Force One. Though, it could have been more suspenseful. For instance, where’s the turbulence? The plane should have been shaking and bouncing, etc. Could’ve had some false scares that way where the plane shakes violently putting the audience on the edge of their seats. Anyway, it was still horrifying.

Celebrity sighting: Oliver Platt on Thursday at one of my favorite pizza joints in the Village, Two Boots.
