But it&#8217;s 20 minutes after it was supposed to go live and I don&#8217;t see it. I don&#8217;t know if I should wake him up. Hmmm&#8230;I&#8217;ll give it a few more minutes.<\/p>\n<p>The day&#8217;s recap&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Had lunch with Dave Stroup who edited both my commercials. Great guy who has a girlfriend named Happy. I hope they have hundreds of kids. Talking to him got me all psyched about getting back into the creative end of the film industry again. I left in such a fit years ago but it&#8217;s really time to get back on it. I&#8217;ve got this mystery\/supernatural thriller all ready to go but I have to be honest&#8230;deep down, I don&#8217;t know if I&#8217;m scared to start back on it because of the dark places I&#8217;ll be going during the creative process, or because I&#8217;m afraid to deal with the heartbreak of the industry again. But I think it&#8217;s time I light a fire under my ass, because if I&#8217;m still refusing to work in the industry and I&#8217;m not doing at least a marginal amount of screenwriting, then I may as well move to a city that I like better.<\/p>\n<p>At the very least, I should finish Iverson on Ice so I can take his picture down from my wall.<\/p>\n<p>My cousin and her mom called me to say they were in town so I took them to the Beverly Center to help my cousin find a prom dress. I hate shopping probably more than most guys, but I&#8217;m willing to bite the bullet for family. My cousin is super innocent and super naive. I mean, she&#8217;s a big fan of Hillary Duff. The only colleges she got into were UC Irvine and UC Davis so I was trying to convince her to go to Davis because it&#8217;s the better school and I don&#8217;t want her in SoCal. I know there are predators everywhere, but I would rather have her at Davis then down here. So I was telling her all my SoCal horror stories, like about my first night here where I was asked out by that really nice boy-next-door UCLA student who turned out to have just gotten out of jail for cocaine possession or something and lived at a halfway house. Good times.<\/p>\n<p>I took them to dinner at Lala&#8217;s on Melrose and we saw Stephen Baldwin there. I was so tempted to tell him that he was a crazy muthafucker on Celebrity Mole and to ask if he was actually retarded or just acted that way. But that would have involved a conversation and from the looks of the way he was talking to the waitress, he was a monster jackass.<\/p>\n<p>Okay, the Adidas ad is up. Sweet.
