Do they have a “Five Below” store? Perfect place to burn tooth fairy money.

I always ask my friends the question, what will it take for you to become politically active? Well, we have worked our way though the stages of authoritarianism all the way to “you have been declared the enemy and there are secret police in the streets rounding up dissidents.”
What will it take?

I wanna hear it! I wanna hear it! I wanna hear it! I wanna hear it!

You have the ghost of a grumpy old cabinet maker in your house. They don’t like your selection of sandpaper. *written in sawdust* “How about something other than 180 grit!”

“On Tyranny” by Timothy Snyder. It’ll help.

Air enters the cabin on passenger side, at the base of the windshield.

My cousin (the Cal alum) used to say “how many elements are named after your school?”

My first feature win. It’s about a jerk of a hockey player seeking relevance and redemption with the help of two other outcasts.

You are not a writer. You are a good writer!

Hey look.

Tell him, I think it was my cousin Lisa that was the flower girl.
It’s even better if you don’t have a cousin named Lisa. Keep him busy trying to find her. But, having him point you out in the photos works as well. (That’s not me)

It’s so very simple.
Thank you, Jane Goodall.

lol. I have a car rock. A street guy who lived for the Doobie Brothers gave me a painted rock that I put in my car! He’s a cool dude, so yes, I have a car rock!

My nieces punk band played at 924 Gilman, which where they started. They still support it to this day!

How will the affect my student loans?

One of the important points I learned from my mentor was to let the actors work. He’d say, you’re working with professional actors. Let them do their jobs. Or, you’re not directing now, you’re writing.

Me too! Best of vibes!

My film showing in front of 275 people in a theatre that I’ve watched movies in before! It was pretty cool!

I was doing NaNoWriMo for a while and I loved the write ins. Everyone would be quiet for a while, pounding out words and then someone would stop and chuckle about what they had just written. Everyone would talk for a minute and then someone would say “okay, back to it.”
It was fun and productive!

The entertainment is Elmo and Patsy.

Simplify it and write it. You have time to massage it but nothing happens till you make other people go agg, ooh, yuck! Simple, then better.

I pick up my two grandkids from school and always have a box of snacks in between their seats. It improves everybody’s attitude. Sometimes they don’t eat at school.

Really enjoyed it.

I went to school with a girls named Olive Fugassi.

Waiting to draw my genre for the 48hour film challenge! #48hr

How many people could you house for $160 billion dollars? Even half of that?

Back when I wore contacts, I made habanero chili. Now I washed my hands pretty well but I never knew that my eyelid could flap faster than humming bird wings.
I used a heavy duty brush under my finger nails before I took the second one out. Chili was good.

Getting ready for my no budget short film and I asked who was going to need coffee. One actor said they didn’t drink coffee and another said “I don’t drink coffee, but I will if the script calls for it.” Commitment. You’re gonna go far.

Michael Pollen wrote an audiobook about caffeine that is amazing. Only two hours long. Just enough time to have a couple of cups while you listen.
