Cheez-its give me stomach aches. Sometimes headaches too.

I snack on them at work and then feel lousy later.

I think it's the strength of the cheddar in there. I will not have them for breakfast any more.

Here is what is going on in my life. (I know I have not been in contact with many people for a while, so if you're interested...)

Tonight I'm meeting the filmmaking group. I named our yahoo group site. I suppose that means our production company is called Poor As Dirt. No one else volunteered a name, a suggestion, or to set up the site, so I had to take matters into my own hands.

So that's what's happening tonight.

Tomorrow night, Thursday, I have my improv troupe rehearsals. I'm happy to be a part of that and look forward to it because the caliber of some of the people I work with is excellent. Two of the guys -- Don & Jonathan -- should be on Whose Line is it Anyways. They make the whole night fun and illuminating. And the group is all about making itself better, learning more, perfecting the craft.

My grandma went into the hospital yesterday so that may change my plans.

Also, a while back I (stupidly) put out an ad for scripts on craigslist and I actually received a feature length script submission. The writer very smartly had a lawyer draw up some sort of contract along the lines that he must be paid...I could not make heads or tails of the legalese but I know I don't have the money and my kiddy ideas about forging ahead with production and paying the writer a percent of anything the film would make after its release have been brutally dashed. I'll finish reading the script by the end of this week after which I'll either trash it and not care (if it's horrible) or cry and bemoan my fate (if I love it). If I really, really, really love it, I'll keep an eye on it and try to get it produced when I'm actually in the position to produce a low budget movie.

That's about it for now. I have resumed practicing the splits at night and am no better than I was back in December. But it feels good.
