Writing.
Soo this is exactly what's rough about screenplay comps.
http://www.lacomedyshorts.com/lacs2010/scripts/semi-finalists.htm
See that bit at the top? "NOTE: The following is a list of Semi-Finalists. Due to an extremely close competition, the judging period for the Finalists has been extended and will be announced on March 22nd."
Ultimately the difference in quality between the script that finishes first and the script that finishes 32nd is going to be largely negligible and a matter of taste, but the difference in bragging rights and exposure is huge.
Wish me luck.

Another music video!
Around 5 AM on Monday morning, after calling my doctor's emergency phone line, I watched the new Lady Gaga video. It's crazy, like unexplainably odd, and more than a little wonderful. It was so good, in fact, that later that day I didn't have an appendix anymore. Now I don't want to promise loss of organs, it certainly worked in my case (along with CT-scans, blood tests, and ultimately surgery). Enjoy!

Soo
Soo over a month ago, Ash asked what else I was working on...
Two things, 1) I got brought onto a sitcom pilot. I meet a comedian on an airplane who writes for the comedy central roasts and the Stern Show and a comedian you've heard of. I signed a nondisclosure agreement so I can't say much about it, other then it's based on a real place and will be a work place comedy. Some funding is in place, lots of connections but this isn't network, it's spec. I'll be getting paid though which is nice. Unfortunately there have been nothing but delays so far. I'll write more when I have more to tell.
The second is the same as ever. One of my screenplays has started to get some good feed back. Two of my college buddies and I are putting together a business plan for it and they're helping me develop it. We have some nibbles and things look promising. It's still a long shot from a sure thing, but I've been working at it very consistently and the script is nearly ready to send out to real actors, real producers and real investors. That's a great feeling.
I want keep going with this, really strike while the iron is hot and get another project ready to go. But it's probably better to stay focused right now. I could have some really exciting news in the near future though, so stay tuned.
