My first is on it’s way to the printers. Here is a sample:

Ignoring Orson Welles

I think I`m… I made essentially a mistake staying in movies, because I… but it… it`s the mistake I can`t regret because it`s like saying “I shouldn`t have stayed married to that woman, but I did because I love her.” I would have been more successful if I`d left movies immediately. Stayed in the theater, gone into politics, written– anything. I`ve wasted the greater part of my life looking for money, and trying to get along… trying to make my work from this terribly expensive paint box wich is an… a movie. And I`ve spent too much energy on things that have nothing to do with a movie. It`s about two percent movie making and 98% hustling. It`s no way to spend a life.

I’m at 9,000 words in my nanowrimo book. If I keep writing in hour blocks I think I’ll have the book done before the deadline. I’ve procrastinated too much.

I should have the first draft of my first novel at the end of this month.
By the end of December I will have the first draft of my new film “The Thereminist”
By the end of January I should have a publish worthy draft of my book “Love My Way”

I’m seeing Bruce Campbell’s new movie, with Bruce introducing the film on Friday, then also catching part of the Reel Pride Gay and Lesbian Film Festival. I wish I had the money and time to attend the entire festival.

Secretary of State

I just went to the Secretary of State today to renew my license plate which is out of date and I’ve already received a ticket for. I was relieved to note that there was cars in the parking lot, I thought maybe 11AM on a Tuesday must be the perfect time or something. Then I got to the door and noticed the “CLOSED FOR VETERANS DAY” sign. I was rather angry that the only day off that the Secretary of State is open is the same one as this dumb holiday (yeah, that’s right, dumb holiday).  To make myself feel better I sat in my car and waited to watch the next dope walk up to the door. To my delight, at about five minutes later six cars came racing up to the parking lot and people got out of their cars running to the door. Instead of just seeing the sign, one older man tried yanking both doors open really hard taking a few minutes to realize the sign in front of him. Watching a bunch of people get pissed off really cheered me up.
