You know, the subject header of this entry could be very similar to Anthony Mingella’s next movie. I mean, it just reeks of Oscar, doesn’t it?
Today represented the busiest day I’ve lived since 2004 began. Assuming that before Monday I was pretty much on vacation, it really isn’t that much of an amazing feat, but I’ll take ‘em where I can get ‘em.
I had a meeting today at ABC where I was unoffically offered a Producing job on an upcoming pilot. That, of course, all depends on whether or not the Comedy Central show I just started working on today goes longer than a month or not. These are the big questions, don’t you think?

I couldn’t fall asleep last night and woke up my wife so that she could join me in my lack of sleep because when you can’t sleep having someone there who can be (albeit reluctantly) awake with you, it makes it all worth it. Instead of just laying there talking about the Universe or what we had to do this week in the world of errands, we talked a bit about this year and what goals we had.
I came to the conclusion that my past resolutions have not come to fruition. Some of them involved:
2001: Learning how to break-dance for the day it comes back into style (includes spinning on my head on one of those flat cardboard boxes)…

NASA’s Mars Exploration Rover Spirit landed on Mars last night and is sending pictures to Earth with a delay of only nine minutes. Speed of light, eh buddy? Pretty crazy.
How do we know it isn’t just a desert here on Earth?
I’ll tell you this - it’s pretty damn amazing that we have the technology to send a ship into space, land it on a foreign planet and then send back pictures at the delay rate of nine minutes. It frustrates me actually, that this country hasn’t made more strides in getting space travel and exploration going at a quicker rate. On the same token, there’s so much that hasn’t been explored here on Earth, below the sea. There’s SO MUCH down there we have not found.

Jen and I watched the two extended DVD versions of The Lord of the Rings Fellowship of the Rings and The Two Towers over the last few days. I will tell you this — those extended versions added so much stuff to the movies that I didn’t originally see, that I am so stoked to be seeing the third movie again tonight because I will now view it in a much different way. There are so many things that are clarified and expanded on, that moments I was unaffected by in the first viewing of the third movie, I think will resonate much more this go around.
On another movie subject, we saw an advance screening of Win A Date with Tad Hamilton! last night.

I woke up in 2004 with a sore throat and my hair more messed up than its ever been in any morning of 2003. It got me wondering — what’s the significance of that? I came up with a few ideas:
My hair’s new year’s resolution is to go out in different directions, and try new things.
My pillow’s “hair-style keeping” features expired in 2003.
My sore-throat caused me to toss and turn and rub my head into oblivion.
