Hangin with the Homeboys

Nice to be home.

Last night at 2am I took some NyQuil.

Woke up at noon.

Wow!

I haven't slept more than 6 hours in at least 3 months.

Niiiiice!

Trying to get back into the swing of things - but it's happening very slowly.

My dad is in Ft Wayne today - getting knee replacement surgery. I'm off to the hospital with the kids in a few minutes. Haven't yet heard how things turned out - but I pray for the best. He blew his knee out in High School, ran 5 marathons on it - and when he turned 60+ it went out again.

Now he gets a new one. Merry Christmas!

I've got a lot to do. Gonna be rough editing the show for China - and start searching for a big celebrity again. Lots to do and not enough time to do it in.

Still have to read the short story from the Paramount guy. He sent it in Adobe - but it was all sideways - so it makes it hard to read on the computer. Need to print it out.

Also gotta make a new celebrity suggestion list for my film for the Paradigm guys. Apparently, they really love it and wanna jump on it for a possible summer shoot. I figure - who knows. Not near as excited or anxious about it yet - but inside - it seems pretty neato. Not gonna get all worked up till I see some action.

John - my producer - is in the islands for the holidays. He called me in Chicago with the movie news after having dinner with Werner Hertzog. Kinda cool... :)

Me?

I'm chilling with the wife. Barely awake enough to do more than chill - but we did laugh a lot today - and for me - that's better than any Christmas present.

Say a prayer for my dad... more later.
