UWTL yet again but you already knew that. It's almost 4am and I barely have anything to show for it. I blame the week, the pizza, the booze, the smoke, the hot-dogs, the Dodgers, the chair and the me for this all.
Ohhh, 4 dings. It's official, it's so GD past my bedtime you have no idea. Rather than regale you with additional paragraphs of nocturnal mundanality (that's right, new word, i'm using it), I am going to take this opportunity to cash in my chips yet again, and hit the reset button on this semi-successful day I've just had.
Goodnight but more accurately good morning.

Friday and Saturday June 17th and 18th, 2012
It's been a real UWTL kind of weekend. Consolidating both into one post due to the fact that I may have passed out in this very seat at 3 in the morning.
Friday's UWTLness was a result of a bday shindig. Hollywood nights and such. Saw/ met some good people, and a few not so goods. Had a few drinks, went to a few bars. Although going out is not my usual favorite activity, pretty fun night, that one.
Tonight was a little more my speed. Took it pretty easy during the day, then grabbed din and saw a movie with the Sis which is always nice. SUBMARINE was the film. It will be difficult for you to find as it's a mighty Indie that's quickly disappearing from theaters but I'd highly recommend it if you can.
Then spent the later part of the evening writing up a small storm and finally finishing up season 2 of JUSTIFIED. Man that's an awesome show.
TV is amazing right now! The big season 1 finale of THE KILLING, coming up tomorrow! Pretty stoked for that. GAME OF THRONES, another fave, is finale-izing too but I am so far behind on that shite that it's gonna be a little while til I find myself enjoying that.
Looking forward to a mellow sunday/ Father's day. Happy day to all the Dads of da world, most of all mine!

UWTL and i'm tired as hell. Need to sleep, two late weekend nights equal minimal productivity for myself.
Go Mavs!
That is all.

UWTL because I left work an hour ago. Did I start a post with that exact same sentence last month? Maybe, but so what? Who cares? I do what I want.
Another lovely evening in the writers' room, observing the pros at work. This time I was the note taker for better or worse, and after a good hour of overwhelm, with some food ordering and pickup sprinkled in, I caught up and got my bearings. I even piped up a few times to offer a suggestion or ask a question. Always a bit of a conundrum for a lowly assistant such as myself. When to make creative suggestions or contributions and when to bite my tongue so hard that it bleeds? The latter is definitely the safer and expected route, but when a solid idea arises sometimes you just gotta take a shot.
Anywho, a good night overall, and this time it was involuntary which may lead to a little OT (never a bad thing). After weathering the early storm and a few bouts of exhaustion after a long day/ sleep deprived week, I felt comfortable in there and started to actually think a little bit like a TV writer, which is difficult to do most of the time considering at this moment, I'm not one. Hopefully will be getting in the room more often on these last few episodes.
Happy to have this week over as it was long and ebbed and flowed productivity-wise. Now I must sleep to face the weekend which could benefit from being productive.
Goodnight, chat more tomorrow night perhaps?

UWTL and damn am I tired. Nothing too interesting to share other than solid day, golf was played, mosaics were viewed, drinks were drank and I miss Hamburger Helper.
Going to sleep now, busy Sunday to follow.

UWTL thinking bout the BEST. TRAILER. EVER. Now that you too have seen it, maybe I can admit that's a bit of an exaggeration but.....the trailer for David Fincher's upcoming THE GIRL WITH THE DRAGON TATTOO looks A-Mazing!
I saw the thing a few days ago on the interwebs after much pre-hype and many days of just barely avoiding the leaked/ bootlegged / shaky cammed red band version making the rounds for the last week. Despite all the hype, and the decidedly less red band-y/ more green band-y version released to da public, the thing knocked my socks off. But it was really tonight where I couldn't stop thinking about the thing after seeing it on the big screen.
Went to see X-MEN (which wasn't half bad btw) with the sis, and the second the trailer came on, I was more than pumped. The sis could not understand during or after, why I was so pumped (she has come a long way in terms of cinematic taste, but is still yet to learn the true ways of great cinema). In addition, I have not read the books, nor seen the Swedish movie trilogy, though the former is something I hope to remedy before the holidays as I've never been quite good at reading the books before the movies, but would like to for this case.
Anywho, why the excitement? Because the trailer (and likely the movie) has just about everything you want. An amazing song laid over (Karen O and Trent Reznor's interpretation of the menacing classic by Led Zeppelin: IMMIGRANT SONG). Quick cuts to the rhythm to finely match the level of the music. Gorgeous, mysterious and malevolent imagery that makes this thing look bonkers. A shit ton of information without in any way giving away the plot or the overall content of the movie. Many little pictures, telling a story, that leaves you satisfied but wanting more at the same time. An awesome tagline from the once dull and by the books Sony Picures (The Feel Bad Movie of Christmas). And lastly the Scott Rudin-ness, David Fincher-ness, Jeff Cronenweth-ness, Steve Zaillian-ness, Daniel Craig-ness, Rooney Mara-ness, Robin Wright-ness, Stellan Skarsgard-ness, Christopher Plummer-ness, etc. of the whole thing.
I am pumped for this movie and this trailer is an awesome first taste of what will surely be one of the most talked about movies of the year.
