Looked into affordable housing plans in NYC for people on a fixed income.
The lowest is in the Bronx and you have to make at least $30,000 a year.
I’m so screwed. My parents didn’t make that in a year in PA and both of them worked.

An idea for a Gale Weathers-centered SCREAM movie popped into my mind almost fully formed.
It’s times like this when not having less than any clout in the entertainment industry sucks.

There’s a book out there titled TO KILL A COOK about a female food critic in 1970s New York City. It’s so cinematic and funny. If Martin Scorsese and Nora Ephron could’ve teamed up to co-direct a movie together, they would do it from this book.

Drew this last Halloween but didn’t post it because of severe depression. Think they’d make cute characters for Hallmark cards.

SLAYCATION didn’t advance to the Emerging Screenwriters semifinals. Oh well. Let’s see how it does in the Page International Screenwriting Awards competition.

Read BATMAN: THE LAST HALLOWEEN. Definitely deserves a second read because there’s a lot to unpack. First impression: the story’s a little uneven. Why can’t Batman figure out who all the Holidays are? Alternating artists kinda skewered the style. Chris Samnee should’ve done whole series.

Read SPIDER-MAN: BLUE for the first time. I was almost bawling at the end. Brilliant storytelling by Jeph Loeb and Tim Sale. Can’t believe Mr. Sale is gone.

“A couple of years ago, my mother taught me to make her dense but moist chocolate birthday cake. She calls it 'dump-it cake' because you mix all of the ingredients in a pot over medium heat, then dump the batter into a cake pan to bake. ... Everyone loves it.”

Threw my back out again shoveling snow. Should know better by now, but didn’t want my 76-year-old mother doing it. Just have to put up with the sensation of a thousand tiny knives stabbing my back and legs until a bunch of visits to the chiropractor set things right.

SCREAM (1996) is my comfort movie. Should a horror movie be a comfort movie? Probably not. But it calms me down because it’s so well written.

Wrote twenty-plus pages of a script in one day. That’s how I know an idea is worth writing to the end.

Everyone watch PA governor Josh Shapiro on how to go on talk shows and take down the fascists. Proud to call him my governor.
