What have you been up to?

In the last 177 days?

Things I've done:


1. Got promoted to the lofty rank of Development Coordinator.

That's right, monkey's got some say now.


2. Participated in some TV writing workshops. Met some cool people. Learned a lot.

If you get a chance to do a workshop with Chuck Lazer or Esta Spalding, I highly recommend it!


3. Started a writing group with said cool people. So far we're meeting once a week, and everyone submits about every other week.

It is glorious!


4. Finished polishing a new pilot and a spec episode of Dexter.

Not sure they're glorious, but don't think they're steaming piles of donkey shit either.


5. Applied to the Canadian Film Centre's Prime Time Television Writing Program.

Hopefully I'll be in Toronto come September.


6. Attended the CFTPA Prime Time Conference, crashed the VIP reception.

Never seen so many suits in my life. Drank myself stupid with some other creatives.


7. Registered myself for the Banff World Television Festival.

Drunken debauchery, here I come!


8. Came up with three solid ideas (two pilots, one spec) that I'm planning on writing in the near future.

Not sure which I'll be focusing on yet, but we'll see how the beat sheets go...


9. Was approached to Produce a doc about exotic dancers in Vancouver.

Very tempting (for reasons I'd think were obvious), but ultimately had to pass due to scheduling problems...

10. Got a TiVo! And it has changed my life!

Seriously, if you have yet to experience the wonderfulness that is a PVR, you're missing out...


That, in a nutshell, sums up how I've spent the last 177 days. Had a bit of burn out on the blog, but am jumping back on the bandwagon now. Guess we'll see where it leads!
