Brunettes and Online Teasers
There is a Sienfeld episode where Jerry comments how nice it is when women touch you on the elbow. I went to a biz meeting a while back and a cute Brunette touched me on the arm when she was talking to me. It is nice.

I have to not read too much into things, but at this point, fantasy is still legal, so I can dream.

I decided to put the original pilot online. I am still focusing on the Sponsors. Which is the main focus right now. Getting ready for a production meeting tomorrow. It will be my first chance to work with some of the actors. I miss being creative. I know the business meetings are necessary and I do like the business community here more so than other communities, but it is nice to return to the creative side of things.

I spent some time in the Studio cleaning up and tarring the cieling. Got to expalin that one. We got a new roof put on cause the old one leaked. Rather the place where they did the extension for the studio (which was a garage in another life). I always dreaded the rain cause it leaked really bad. There is like a gap of alomst an inch where the old garage and the extension meet. So after the new roof is on, the leak is down to a few drops. Yet, roofs should not leak at all. So I was inside putting some tar up on the inside where the few drops were coming in.

The addition could use a new roof as well, but I'm fortunate to get the new roof on the old garage. It has come a long way.

So has the TV show. Through some biz contacts, I got a chance to meet a cop who is the consultant for the show and also got a chance to talk to a high profile attorney. The cop, Mike is so cool. He is helping out with an upcoming shot. Also, it was nice to talk to the atty. I want to make sure my protrayal of Raft is on cue. I have to give Raft more of an ethical base. Right now, he seems to be a little one dimensional when it comes to his job. My Consigliere said, it would be good to see him at work from time to time so that you don't focus on his bad faults only. Yeah, I agree. I have to balance being Raft and the Exceutive Producer of the show. Raft is the one wheo assigns "special cases" for the 7th District and as Exec. Producer, I decide the stories to handle. So it is kind of similiar jobs. I am going over the scripts others wrote for me. They're good, but I need to redo the elements now that the characters int he stories have changed and I still need to define "Special Cases."

Well, got to go back out to the Studio. Got company tomorrow.
