My point-by-point statistic-ridden outline of my television proposal is all done; I prepared a whole notebook full of graphs of nielsen ratings, news clips, and sales figures; I have my outfit all picked out; I have pictures all chosen for what my hair should look like, which I'll take to Cynthia (my local hair-stylist) tomorrow; my nails are a lovely shade of lavender. I'm so prepared that I'm bored.
Now I just have to wait for Dean to get back. And I can't sleep. But what else is new?
I've been doing more research on the 'Good Omens' project. I came across Neil Gaiman's website about half an hour ago and managed to crawl through the site's code to find Mr. Gaiman's email address. (I love being a geek.) I sent him an email, which I have a feeling probably won't get an answer. Why? Because that way I won't be expecting anything, and therefore if he doesn't write back it won't be anything too bothersome and I'll just go about my business.
No, seriously, the reason is I think that man surely gets more email than I could even imagine. Since I usually can't work through all the email I get, I hardly expect him to. So I'm not expecting too much, I understand being digitally buried.
Still, it would be nice to hear from him, get his views on the project, and hopefully he'll have a way to get in contact with Terry Gilliam. I'm sure he does, and that way I'd know it's more legitimate than some random email. If I don't hear from him, I'll call the random email number anyway. I'm game - this won't be any different than calling Warner Brothers' Senior Casting VP just to get info about the Harry Potter movies... and to generally screw with their heads. :) Okay, so it will be a little different, since this time I won't be a goofy bored 14-year-old with nothing to offer. Nope, this time I'm a goofy bored 18-year-old with connections! Oh the difference four years can make...
Speaking of differences and years, you know what's scary? I'm coming up on the three year anniversary of when I first heard about Lindsay being threatened by Warner Brothers - the event that led to the development of PotterWar. It seems like it was just last month, and yet I also feel so incredibly different. February 22 will be the three year anniversary of when the campaign went public - I think we should have a party, don't you?
Since it's going on three in the morning I think I may head upstairs and start getting ready for bed. It seems lately that I'll suddenly go from really hyper to absolutely knackered at exactly 3:45am. I think my body is constantly in the pacific time zone - being absolutely knackered at 12:45am is far more reasonable. But then again, what's the point in being reasonable? :)
