Song and Dance
Ah.
I've been busy for the past few days; too busy to update or blog or do anything after getting off work. Today marked the end of a two-day stretch working on stuff. In the afternoon, I went off to client to present radio scripts. Presenting radio scripts is a pretty funny thing. Other writers probably do it differently, but I pretty much try to act out everything as its supposed to sound. This was a new client for me; I had only met them twice before, and here I was making funny voices and facial expressions (I imagine) to try and get them to understand and accept our ideas.
I can't tell you how excruciating it is to finish a 'number' and then hear NOTHING. The clients had poker faces for a while, staring blankly at the scripts and saying NOTHING. Thankfully, after a bit they chuckled and started commenting. There were good comments, some things I had to rein in, some points I conceded, bartered and some I had to ease them back onto track. In the end, the radios were approved and I went off to have my LATE, late lunch at about five o' clock PM; my first meal of the day.
This pretty much consisted of an eighty-five peso meal of a tiny bit of baked macaroni and a few slices of boneless chicken, and a small glass of soft drink. Highway robbery but it tasted good, and I had to order an extra burger to keep from feeling 'bitin' or short with the meal.
After some more quickie bits of work I was finally able to run off and meet Carl, Vin and Jason at the store. Went to the Strip at Residencia and then off home.
Things seem to be settling well into the weekend, but things remain poised. Have to start on Project 100 already; have to get working on the Angel Ace pages. My weekend MUST make room for these things for the big pay-off this Christmas.
Ah. It's good to be busy. And giddy. Giddy and busy, that's me. Hee-hee...
