What I’m looking at right now
With the end of the strike in the offing, I am jammed up doing some last-minute stuff. As you can see from the above, that includes some jokewriting, plus I am trying to complete all of the Strike TV graphics I have on my plate. I only had the one freelance marketing job during the strike, and that will be ongoing so I’m not looking at Wednesday as a deadline.
I could give you a list of all the things I have to do, but it’s just boring crap like Make New Files, and Clean Out the Pool Drain. So instead, I will give you a list of all the things I had hoped to accomplish over the strike, but did not:
1. Build another boat, either an unlimited-class hydroplane or a 60mph+ hydrofoil sailboat.
2. Read War and Peace.
3. Read anything.
4. Write a movie that has the critical appeal of “American Beauty” and the box-office/franchise appeal of “Indiana Jones.” Working title: “Indiana Jones and my Gay Neighbor Whose Kid Sells Me Pot.” (Never got past the treatment on that one)
5. Work my way up to 6.5 mph on the treadmill.
6. Get on the treadmill.
7. Create a YouTube sensation by casting famous people in a one-off idea in which they say the F-word a lot.
8. Take my old clothes to Goodwill.
9. Get my old clothes for Goodwill off the treadmill.
10. Sleep through the night.
Well, I gotta go make some Mitt Romney jokes before people forget who he is. If I can’t build it, then goddammit, I’ll EARN enough money to buy that unlimited-class hydroplane.
Then I’ll get on the treadmill. Wish me luck.
