UNION!
lol.....ok, I was not going to blog today, as you know, there is a Hollywood Writers Strike going on, and then I remembered something important.
I am no Hollywood writer, no, I'm not.
Shocking huh?
I bet you all thought I was because of my weekly Hollywood ramble, but no, I do this for free, nary a royalty check in sight.
So that got me thinking, this could be my chance, hell this could be all of our chances, all we need is to lack a little moral fiber, and be able to live with ourselves if we cross a picket line, and hell....we could be writing for David Letterman, or the Daily Show.
sweet huh?
I am already compiling top ten lists to pitch to Dave...though he might be picketing with the others, I'm not sure.
anyway....that is what I have been thinking about.
that and a long and semi sleepless night, I was plagued (overly dramatic word choice) by nightmares last night, some of them were downright horrifying....in one of them I had a dream that I watched a homeless man freezing to death, literally, then when I turned him over it was my dad.
I KNOW....awful!!!! My father passed away several years ago, and every so often I still have a dream about him, I think this one has to do with being reminded of profound loss so much lately.
The other dream I had was that the Vampire beasts from 30 Days of Night were trying to get in my house, and I think this was was about me wanting to see that movie, and probably a bigger part is that my bubs and I were talking about his ex wife reminding us of those monsters.
we are mean, mean people.
:)
ok that's all for now, I know, this is another posts without pictures of new work....I really am slacking now, trust me there is new work in my shop, just the no photos for the blog, but I swear I will get my butt in gear soon.
xoxo

You know, I had the same thought: Hollywood needs writers! But once this thing is over, you and I would pretty much be blacklisted forever for our scab work. You don't want to mess with those Hollywood unions.
I am currently working on all my tyra show contirbutions ;-) Scary dreams are, er um, scary! They make me afraid to sleep, thank goodness for nightlights and whiskey.
Mercury must be in retrograde again or something because I've been having some weird dreams lately too. Night before last, I dreamed that I was at a dinner with Alex from Grey's. Last night I dreamed that I was at the beach with McDreamy. Hmmmmm... Odd.
I think the FC street team should move to Hollywood and take over.
This is SO WEIRD. Are you also premenstrual right now? If you are, you are NOT ALONE! For the past three nights I've been having the most bizarre and mind wrenching dreams. Usually this happens 1) during full moon or 2) PMS. Right now is the latter.
Amen to whiskey, Country Girl, I am right there with ya.
okay you're ploy to sneak in and steal the Hollywood writer's jobs is way to funny!
Whoa, you have been having some scary, crazy dreams! Maybe it has to do with what you eat before bed. Once I had oreos before bed and my dreams were very bizarre. I hope you start dreaming of nice things, like glitter.
And I would LOVE to write for the Daily Show. Can you imagine how cool that would be? But what I really want to write for is Gossip Girl. Or better yet, the TV show or movie of Back Talk! haha.
Ahhh! It's totally the Oreos!
... but honestly, Oreos are SO hard to say no to.
I thought you said "vampire breasts" Sheesh...those are horrible dreams to have...nothing like waking up more tired than when you went to bed...I kept dreaming last night that I was asleep, which was really confusing because I think I was awake most of the time...
My limited experience with the industry leads me to believe that you do not want to be a scab. Those entertainment unions are for serious. Also, most of that writing is done in group settings, so if they're going to use scabs, they're going to bring them in.
