The good start was followed by a sandwich, some chips and chocolate for lunch. A dinner of steak and mashed potatoes and salad and wine and chocolate.
Today there were lots of dried apricots and most of donut for breakfast. Lunch was bread and bananas and something I'm forgetting... hm... Anyway, dinner was an IN n'Out Burger , a few fries and small chocolate shake. I can somehow forget wine when there are milkshakes involved.
My neighbor thinks there is strife growing between TV writers and Screen writers... that all these individual deals that are being made -like with the Weinsteins and UTA- are nothing more than wavers that help screenwriters and not TV folk and that if they continue we're all screwed.
It was a depressing conversation. My neighbors are a young couple without years of saving behind them, expecting another child and the strike is throwing them into bad debt etc... And they have other friends who are firing nannies and having their kids drop out of pre-school because of the money crunch... It made my diet seem a bit dilitantish and trivial. I should be marching harder and yelling louder... except I'm not really sure it helps. What should help is that I turned on the TV the other night and every show on every major channel was a reality show. It made me want to gag... I about peed with happiness when I saw Big Shots come on at ten. A real show, with characters and dialogue. Didn't even care if it was good or not... Just happy to see a show. I think it was good... but still not sure if it's my desperation speaking or not...
The Universe cannot be happy about all reality all the time.
The Universe has got to be pissed at Warner Brothers (rumor has it they're about to fire a thousand people)
I am grateful for the end of this srike
I am grateful for my diet
I am grateful I lose weight so easily
I am grateful for In N'Out Burger and how it helps me lose weight
I am grateful for chocolate -- a great diet aid
I am grateful that TV and Screen writers live in peace and prevail as one.
Amen.
