We did Midnight Mass on Christmas Eve. I’m not Catholic but I enjoyed it. Natalie spent the night and we shared Christmas morning together. We had more gifts under the tree this year than any year before. I can remember the old days when Mel and I would go to Wal-Mart on Christmas Eve, we’d split up with twenty bucks each and buy tiny trinkets to give each other the following morning.
This year I got the greatest gift ever. Mel ordered me a top of the line Alienware. It is a monster. 3.2 pentium IV with 2 gigs of mem and a 500 gig 10,000 rmp harddrive. It’s purple and green and glows red on the inside. Can’t wait for it to get here.
On the work front nothing has changed. Hollywood shuts down during the holidays and this year is no different. Patrick is still on Cursed but he got a gig directing a horror flick called “Potter’s Field”. Pretty interesting story. But now comes the tough part…they have to pull the money together. If it goes forward he says he’ll cast me in some role and maybe even the lead baddie. I’ll have to buff up for that though.
Dean’s still on “My Wife and Kids” and seems to enjoy it. They’ve been on 4 day weeks which is pretty great for series TV. He and Damon wrote a couple of scripts this year too. One for MGM and a flick based on “Homey the Clown”.
Mark Haslett (he worked for Cunningham and we wrote “Western Front” together) has got the rights to “Last House on the Left” from Sean and has written a pretty decent script for it. He’s got a producer and wants to direct it as an independent film.
Sarah’s still moving forward on her Indy flick, “Tyranny” in which she plays the lead. It could be the break she’s looking for.
All in all it’s been a decent year…cept it has offically been a year since I had a gig. Be nice to get another. It’ll happen next year.
