I might could get you (that's a Virginia expression-- don't you love it?) an autographed pic of Monica. She's at Border Books in Big D tonight. You had to buy her book that she didn't write in order to get a ticket though. They have given out 1100 tickets! People are waiting in line! And they don't even have bags over their heads or a sign that says, "I'm doing this for my mother-in-law". Chanel 5 was interviewing people asking why they were there. They said they were curious-- wanted to see what she looked like. One bimbo said, " I really respect her. She got a raw deal." If the boys ever bring home someone like that, I will just die.

Anyone, What a friggin day. Great, frustrating, overwhelming, exhausting. Got a call from Ogilvy & Mather asking for my demo reel for consideration on a music gig. Yeah! Oh, I don't have any more reels. Damn, and their deadline is too tight for me to get a new one dubbed for them. Got a call from a recently well-funded internet start-up who's going to create a site for 401k asset allocation consultancy for consumers and they want me to be their copywriter. Uh me? You want me to write all the copy for a financial website? "Oh yes, we heard about your work for the Ritz Carlton and so and so and we think you can distill all of the technical financial verbiage into consumer friendly lingo?" Uh, yeah I can do that. Sure , no problem. " . .and we want it all finished by May 27th--that's when we're debuting the site" Sure, let's get started tomorrow. (Now you know why I'm as big fan of prayer.) Then I got another call from a director for yet another demo reel I don't have. (Amassing quite the opportunity cost there big fella.) Finally, I'm working on putting an album together for a very large non-profit organization and am in the process of recruiting celebrity vocalists to sing songs. Problem is I've only written one song and eveyone loves it, but they can't all sing the same damn song, and I',m playing phone tag with artists' managers while promising them new material for consideration--material I don't have the time to write now because I've got so many things on my plate, and my business manager is upset because I don't want to pay him the world for handling the album project, and here I sit pecking away on my keyboard at 7:00 and damn I need a good drink, and a good woman, but I don't have the time. . . It's good to be alive.
