Happy, happy, happy!
Yes! And I'm not kidding, either.
Loyal readers of this lofty blog perhaps know too well that sometimes I can be a tad bit on the sarcastic side... however, today is not one of those days!
I am happy b/c -- even though I am more hungover this morning than I have the ability to comprehend (okay, that part is sarcasm) -- I will officially begin working on the screen adaptation of Neptune & Surf! Something I've been wanting/trying to do for several years now, but only since my writing partner, Jerry, has come into my world has it become a reality.
Not only am I grateful for this opportunity, but I am grateful that Jerry was the one who suggested and practically insisted on doing this adaptation. You can probably imagine how sweet that feels. To have someone else feel so strongly about something you wrote twelve years ago.
If you're wondering about the hangover....
Jesus Christ. They have this wretched stuff in Ohio that is sold in grocery stores -- it's diluted hard liquor. Liquor that is watered down so that it is only about 40 proof. It is cheap and totally easy to buy (the "good stuff" one must travel hither & yon to a State Run liquor store to obtain, and sometimes just tossing something into one's grocery cart is preferable to running hither & yon). Anyway. that's the kind of vodka I've had on hand for a long time. I haven't been drinking much b/c I am super vain and wanting to lose a ton of weight (which I did).
A lot of cool stuff is going on in my career right now, so yesterday being a Friday and suddenly SUNNY (!!!), I felt like celebrating. My idea of celebrating is drinking alone, eating pizza and watching a William Powell movie all by myself!! Yay. So that's what I had on my agenda for last evening. And I went all the way to a state run liquor store and bought a bottle of Stoli, my favorite vodka, to make vodka martinis.
I guess I forgot that I'm not used to real liquor anymore and my customary two (large) martinis, which is, you know, if you add up the vodka and the vermouth, about 10 ounces of pure alcohol... Well, you get the picture. I couldn't handle it anymore! But I didn't know I couldn't handle it anymore, b/c I was just hanging out on the bed, watching a William Powell movie (Life With Father) and it wasn't until I stood up after the movie was over to go to the kitchen again, that I realized I was indescribably plastered. Just reeling. Wow. And I was still reeling when I tried to get out of bed this morning...
But, I'm feeling lots better now! And looking forward to a blissful weekend of sitting soberly at my desk, working on a three-act outline for N&S.
The weather report is promising tons of sun and temperatures in the low 70s today. I hope that turns out to be true! I hope that whatever you've got planned for this weekend --wherever you are -- winds up being tons of fun and totally relaxing. Okay, I'm gonna get moving here, gang. Thanks for visiting!! See ya.
