Uno Dos Tres Quatorce

Still aboard the SS Tilt-A-Whirl.  Vertigo comes in and out.

Do . not. want.

Timing

Earlier today, I got a text from a friend. It was a quick heads up that the fiance of our mutual friend was killed in a car accident. Third hand info says ' the police said he was driving pretty fast'

Perhaps it is my overactive imagination, I find the timing... interesting.  He was in divorce court with a soon to be ex-wife, and they were arguing over large sums of money. Very. Large. Sums.  

As in, her monthly alimony would have been enough to live on for a year in some parts of the country. Granted, it would be lean living, but ... yeah.

My friend has been living with him for the past year and a half, maybe two years. They live in an overpriced apartment in a luxury building. She will be unable to pay the rent alone.  So, not only has she lost her love, the man she planned to have kids with-- she'll be losing her home.

and waiting.

Today, I came home, wrote some pages of script which I aim to use for Scriptapalooza and 2009's  ABC DISNEY writer's fellowship.  I hope to get this done in the next few weeks, and then possibly start following The Sarah Conner Chronicles. I hear the writing is of the good. I also think that I'm going to start watching 'My name is Earl.' From what I've seen, I think it brilliant and I have some white trash running in my veins. I could do a script justice.

I have a cold. and I don't like it. At all.

Dropped a line to the magazine. They said to be patient. u-huh.

Sure. Totally. The first word people think, when they think of me.

Productive

Woke up this morning with an ominous rattle in my chest.  Mr. Kate and I made a run for the drug store as she was rocking an not insubstantial cough. Came back home, made pancakes. Ate pancakes. Put on a face masque. Next I shall paint my nails!  I don't know why I'm having such a hard time getting going. ugh. I need to get some exercise in, head down to the Chelsea drug store, outline spec script and do 20 minutes of voice work.

I heard from Monday. Her query letter should be done by end of day Sunday.

**** 10 hours later.

ugh. sick.
