My meeting got pushed, going in this week to hear Derek’s idea. It’s a horror I think. Something to do with a Scarecrow. Not sure I want to write a killer scarecrow movie but how picky can I really be right now?

Going in to hear an idea from Derek Douchy at Revolution Studios. I met Derek back when I was doing that whole string of General Meetings after Riddle went out. I liked Derek alot. Most of those meetings became a blur but he stood out. Bald dude like meself. He or they have an idea and want to hear my thoughts. Basically I’ll go in, they’ll tell me a story then I’ll take a few days, go back and puke out my version. Speaking of Riddle, no money yet. I’ve signed my contracts but Hensleigh’s still in negotiations on his.

Well, I just spent the last three weeks in bed. I gotta quit smoking. Every cold turns into some form of the plague.

Made whoopie then watched Fireworks from the roof. We got a great view of downtown LA and you can see at least four different firework displays from our roof.

Mel and I are going to some pub to celebrate Dave Bergaintino’s birth. Dave’s a fella I met through Mark Haslett back at Sean’s. Dave came in with an idea to turn Friday the 13th into a video game. He kept saying that one day the video game industry would surpass the movie biz in money. That was four or five years ago. Wow was he right. I think they are pretty much head to head these days. Dave also came up with “Evil Gets an Upgrade” as the log line for a Jason X game. Course Sean and the boys used that for the movie and Dave didn’t see even a thank you. Figures.
