I was cast in Glengarry Glen Ross, which opens tonight at The Generic Theater and runs till Feb 10. You try keeping up with a blog while rehearsing a play and see how it goes. I'm playing Kevin Spacey.- I went to Georgia twice, Charlottesville 4 or 5 times, Baltimore once, North Carolina once, D.C. twice, and almost went to Florida.
- I'm not allowed to write; it's a writer's strike, after all.
- Okay, I'm allowed to write. But I tried to get permission to reprint a great article from Creative Screenwriting about the strike and why it's important, and they were all enthusiastic but never got back to me.
- I watched a bunch of Oscar screeners with my dear friend Ginny and her son Matt and his awesome girlfriend Joan. They're voting members so they get the magic DVDs.
- Cloverfield is going to be the most profitable movie in years. I know this has nothing to do with why I haven't been writing lately, I just wanted to point it out. Want to make massive cash? Shoot a movie for <30 mil, cast unknowns, shoot handheld camera, and only use 10 minutes of the expensive kind of CGI. NOTE: this will only work if you put talented people in charge.
- I got two baby sugar gliders and have been raisin' 'em up. You try keeping up with a blog while being a daddy. It's impossible. What? Lots of people do it? Fuck.

You should totally get Cricket to write an entry for you. He could do it. ...what? And I saw Kevin Spacey in a play a year and a half ago. You were way better.
what are sugar gliders? they sure are cute!
I told Monster and Cricket you thought so, Julie! Sugar gliders are teeny gliding marsupials who live in trees like squirrels. Here are some pages which show better pictures or have info about them: North American Sugar Glider Association The Pet Glider PocketPets gallery
thanks for schooling me Matt! By the way, in GGR did you get to say Coffee is for Closers?
Naw, nobody gets to say that in the play; it's only in the movie version. (Our director cheated a little and for some shows he used a recorded voiceover of that speech in between scenes, which was awesome.) I did, however, get to say "Go to lunch. Will you go to lunch?!?" which is pretty much why I decided to do the play.
