The UFO Meeting



Had the meeting with the UFO/Sci-Fi/B-Movie people. It went well as predicted. I've been given my next assignment but don't have to start working on it (or collecting money for it) for about four or five weeks. Means the month's gonna be pretty tight, but I'll manage. There's apparently another meeting taking place between Jeff, the UFO producer and the Sci-Fi Network people next week. The outcome of that is supposed to be a slate of six more concepts ready for development and Jeff and TJ want to throw as many of them at me as possible. So, I might get another gig before the August job starts, or I might not. As usual lately, long-term prospects are great. Short term things are tight - but it's fine.

And I don't even really care because I'm totally fucking bummed out. Still haven't heard from Danielle. I mean, it's only been two days and the girl's got a life and there are a million reasons she might not have called yet that have absolutely nothing to do with me or her interest in me. Of course, my gut tells me I'm never gonna hear from her again and sadly, my gut is usually right. It'd be nice if, just for once, it was wrong. As I've said a million times, I really would like to see her again.

This sucks. And I've got my big agent meeting tomorrow. Ready for it. Don't care. I'll kick ass and they'll sign off on an idea and I'll go write it and they'll sell it for a million dollars and I'll still be hoping I get a fucking call from Danielle.

Thank God I have my therapy appointment early tomorrow. I'm sure my therapist will love a second week of me obsessing about a silly girl.
