Uwtl the last two nights under very different circumstances.
Last night's culprit was hanging around on set fairly later than necessary, followed by a last minute decision to sneak onto the set of one of the biggest movies of 2012. Passed out fully clothed around 2 and woke up at 5, got up with the guilt of not having written, was visited by my crazy up at 5am to work out 56 year old father while half asleep and not really wanting to talk. Then soothed the guilt by writing/editing for a good 45 minutes, then back to sleep.
Tonight's lateness began socially and will end with just milling about. Props to my buddy Will for buying me a Coachella ticket this week without even asking. That shit just sold out!
Two successful nights indeed.

Bah humbug. Uwtl yet again for the littlest of reasons.
It's like a broken record. Was planning to get shit done, opened myself up to distractions, bla bla bla, then 1-4 hours later here I am passing out at the keys and throwing in the towel.
One awesome thing I did accomplish in the latter portion of this eve, was finishing season 1 of BREAKING BAD. Having powered through the first two discs of the season over a reasonable 3-4 month span, I popped in disc #3 thinking I had 3-4 eps to go. Considering I only had the juice for 1 ep, what a nice surprise that that was all there was to watch on disc 3. Not an uncommon occurence for a basic or premium cable show to launch with a manageable 6-7 episodes, but I was unawares.
The following seasons are a solid 13 eps a pop and I thoroughly look forward to getting through those in hopefully less than half the time it took to watch the 1st.
For a good year now I was getting the distinct impression that despite never, or at least barely having seen the show, that it was totally my taste and that in some ways was my favorite show on TV without having watched a frame.
After now getting into it, I can't quite say I feel that insanely strongly about it, but nonetheless it is awesome television and one of a growing number of reasons why AMC is becoming the standard for event television. Between this, MAD MEN (which i'm fully up to speed on), THE WALKING DEAD (another show that had sold me before seeing a frame, and of which i've seen just short of all) and the upcoming crime thriller and western THE KILLING and HELL ON WHEELS, I may soon enough just be able to live on the channel that formerly stood for American Movie Classics. Shite, I may just have to go ahead and watch the dearly departed RUBICON sooner rather than later.
"We know Drama," eh? Haven't had that disproven yet so keep on touting yourself as such AMC.

Uwtl for no apparent reason. Was going to do a little more writing but the after midnight got away from me.
Now I sit here writing the worst and most mundane blog in the world, that very few people, if anyone, read anyway.
Took it easy today/ tonight and made a small dent in NBC's new 3 hour comedy block. Got to Community and Parks and Rec, which are pound for pound the best comedies if not two of the best shows on Television. Especially Good to have Parks back after something like an 8 month hiatus.
Looking like I have work off tomorrow which is kinda cool but I sure as hell wish i'd gone to sleep a few hours ago as getting up at 6am saturday morning for work is gonna be all kinds of rough.
Alas, I've got no one to blame but myself. Que sera sera.

Uwtl for the third night running. Last night was way way way too late to even think about writing, having gotten home at 6am. Tonight is more doable at 2:30 as it's time to call it a night.
Not the most productive day of all time after one of the longest days in recent memory, but a good day nonetheless.

Uwtl for night 1 of a guaranteed 3 in a row. Tonight I attempt to stay up in order to wake up late enough to continue staying fully alert and uwtl the next 2 nights for work. This little movie I'm working on is shutting down Hollywood Blvd. the next few nights and i'm going to do my darndest to make it t0 3, 4, 5 in the morning both nights.
Just finished a wee bit of writing and hoping to stay up another hour or so. Was a nice rare day off for me today. Little ice skating, football, dinner for the Grandpa's 87th and BLUE VALENTINE with a solid helping of The Golden Globes interspersed. Thought the movie was pretty great, not the most stimulating or flashy story for sure but there was something about it that just really got me. Highly recommend.
Going to watch an ep or two of THE WALKING DEAD now, can't imagine a better way to start some sleepless nights than by powering through the rest of TV's best new Zombie show.
Goodnight (or good morning for some).

Uwtl after a mellow day off. Lot's of TV watching highlighted by powering through a nice chunk of BREAKING BAD season 1. Between that, MAD MEN, THE WALKING DEAD and the upcoming THE KILLING, I may just give up all other networks. So good.
Not that tired but think this a sufficient opportunity to hit the hay.

UWTL on a Monday is never a good thing, well maybe not never, but right now it's not good. My plans of morning exercise now look to be kaput and exchanged in favor of a fullish night sleep.
Then again, these days for me this essentially Thursday night, which for most youngish people is a night to go big, am I right? Just finished a tired but lovely hour of writings. Fairly certain it's dreck but it's better than the nothing I'd been so inclined to produce late last year.
Oddly timed with the onset of New Year's Resolutions, starting January 1st I've begun a regiment of getting shit done writing wise. The low key goal of a good 15-30 minutes of actual writing, especially on long and tiring workdays, has allowed me to make things happen. Back when I was setting page goals or 2-3 to all day goals of creative output, very little ever stacked up. Now, expecting a tiny bit from myself has allowed a very high percentage of successful days. That and writing on paper as opposed to the eternal distraction that is a computer, and I may just have a script on my hands (albeit, not necessarily a good one) in the not too distant future.
I'd like to think this year might just be titled, Jeremy Doing Work: a Spike Lee joint.
