No drugs. For a while, now.

Barely any pain.

Going out with our attatched cast (4 people...2-4 you've heard of) for $ this weekend.

Nervous.

We should be prepping soon, but without money, we won't be. Eating into my prep time.

Somebody give us 5 million dollars!

Meeting with an actress Monday. You'd know her, probably. Supposedly she wants to be in my movie.

We'll...

No news...well, some movie news, but I've decided that the slow pace of casting and raising money for an indie movie isn't conducive to updates on a daily, weekly, or even monthly basis.

Stuff has happened. When more happens, I will inform.

Also had to blog because the last entry was from the last time I hurt my back and ended up with Vicodin withdrawal...

I think the drug problem is over. I stopped the painkillers Monday. Haven't had any since.

Took a couple days of the occasional crankiness, but it all seems okay.

Of course, my body still hurts a bit from the disc thing, but it's far from debilitating.

Alles gut.

couple things:

To clarify...we don't have financing yet. But our new A list casting director (once the lawyers are happy) will get us down that road. It's really looking good.

And the other thing:

I HAVE A DRUG PROBLEM.

I've been on Soma and Vicodin for a couple three weeks now, for a back problem. I tapered off, but last night, I went recreational with...

Booyah!

We have a casting director. A major one. Major.

Hello, financing!

Also still pilled up on Vicodin.

Which, I thank for helping me to close this deal.

Without saying too much, yesterday was a great day for "Dodge."

Those of you who know what I mean...know what I mean.

More later.

Also, in the good news bad news category, I hurt myself. Bad news. I got medicine. Good news.

I feel good. God bless Vicodin. (And generics...and medical insurance.)

Why can't Post graduate film school?

A bunch of conversations and other happenings coincided in the past few days. Talking to friends about film school days. Driving to the USC campus every damn day to earn money. Pounding away. Meetings with former classmates. Status checks.

Feeling creative, rejected, hurt, slighted, inspired, and alive all at the same time.

A lot had changed since film school....

Kurt Vonnegut is dead.

I used to read.

Really, I was an English and American Lit major before I settled on imbibing all of my art passively through my eyes and ears.

My first two years of college were full of reading...required for my major. But in addition to all of that, I was never without a KV book. He was iconcolastic, humanistic, and fun....

I did something inexcusable today. Inexcusable because I'm not a professional musician...and I already have a few guitars.

Anyway, I bought another guitar.

While I can't excuse it, I can rationalize it. 0 apr. A steady job...money coming in. Also, I haggled the guy to under 2k "out the door." That's 1500 off list. But nobody pays list...

And it makes me happy.

Sue me....

We got him!
