Harry Potter

I'm off to see a screening of Harry Potter at the Warner Brothers lot up in Burbank. I don't often enjoy the perks of the film industry, but when I do, they're nice.

Saw Transformers last night, which led to a strange conversation during yoga class. I was doing bridge pose, which isn't the most comfortable thing, and my instructor wandered over and said, "What'd you think of Transformers?" And I thought, I'd love to have this conversation with you, but what an incredibly strange time to ask me this question - I'm trying to ACCOMPLISH something here!

Still Here

I've been spending all my time procrastinating preparing to write my next screenplay, which means eliminating many possible sources of distraction, including cleaning my apartment, lining up medical appointments, selling things that are taking up room in my closets, visiting my relatives, shopping for household necessities, and getting my computer repaired.

In short, I'm going to war. I'm organizing my resources within the staging ground of my apartment in order to make a sustained offensive charge through the next four months.

I have a screenplay draft to complete and Pillow Crisis negotiations with our friends at the studio. And those are merely the developments I can allude to publicly. The thing I can't mention will be fiercely competing for time with the things I can. It's my job to reconcile them all.

I find it hard to believe that all these things have to happen at the same time. Perhaps it's because I need to learn to balance them.

Coming up is my new weapon in the effort. A new technique from the discipline of productivity judo: the empty desktop.
