Watching Martin Scorsese on Conan O'Brien. I've always loved his movies and its great to hear him speak a lot about things. I might even see Gangs of New York.

I wasn't on vacation these last few days. it is just a lot of things have been going on that I can't talk about. Yes, politics and personal things. Mainly politics. And for that, you have to know when to keep your mouth shut. Trent Lott should be able to tell anyone that.

So I broke down my days so I won't be doing everything in one day. Oh, I still get bored and switch from one thing to the next and I get flashes of ideas and I have to write them down. Yet, I gave each day a focus. Hopefully I will be able to keep it up.

So, here it goes.

SEPERATE DAYS INTO MAIN DAYS One day will take the focus to one item and everything else is Priority 2

SUNDAY - Shoot MONDAY- Edit TUESDAY - Business Plans WEDNESDAY - Web Updates THURSDAY - Outside Projects (IC and other stuff) FRIDAY - Studio Store SATURDAY - Rest on the Sabbath - WATCH MOVIES - READ

And since Friday was the Studio Store, I finally came up with a product and placed it on-line. I wasn't sure what movies to focus on first. It turned out to be a lunch box for "The Negotiators."

Saw the end of "Taken." Not bad, but I did notice there weren't any black people in key roles until the end and they were the mean government persons. No, I'm not accusing Spielberg of anything, I just think it was odd. And in real life one of the most famous cases of alien abduction was about a real life interracial couple. they mentioned them briefly in the movies, then moved on.

Still, the ending could have been a little stronger.

Well, back to Prelude2Cinema. Today is the Sabbath, so I'll actually plan to get some rest. Not shooting this Sunday, may do other things. All depends on... Well, anyhow, next Sunday got the school yard scene planned.

That will be it for this year. As for shooting, and then 2003 will be a lot of work.

Got to get focused on things. There is more plans for IC and p2c. And of course, more politics. I still love the business, but the politics might kill me. Of course I have to make sure I don't do any "Lottian" mispeaks. Like I could tell you about the lastest news with ------
