Spent the day doing handy-man work at Dean Riesner’s. Fixed a leak, installed a doorbell, adjusted some doors that wouldn’t shut. I didn’t do it for free. He knows we’re broke and was throwing me a bone. Good man. Humility…I’m a screenwriter…I’m a handyman.

Finished Riddle Me This. It’s very rough. It’s a spec. Spec being a screenplay I’ve written for free in hopes of selling. Riddle is a thriller…pretty good one I think. I’m writing it in hopes of widening my appeal. Horror is fun but the pay is low. Thrillers will open another market to me. I emailed the script to Mark and Dean to get their thoughts. Hopefully I can send a polished version to Nicole this week.

Dean Lorey and I have been friends since Mid 1996. He’s more or less the reason I’m living in LA and the reason I’ve actually had some success out here. We had never been in a fight…until DeathMatch.
We have gone days without speaking over a Quake II match.

Last night Geoff from Sean’s office called. Said he had found my head. The one used in Jason X.

Just got a letter from Dean Riesner. He’d read Full Moon Dick and liked it. Also mentioned he had a change in mind for Riddle Me This. So, I’ll give him a call.

WGA and studios are still in negotiations. The buzz is good.
Poker tonight at Carr D’Angelo’s.
