major pass-a-dena

well usually when a network doesn't want your show, they pass immediately, within hours. so you can imagine when ABC took 5 days to think about my show I was delighted! I thought, finally a taker. 5 days and then a pass is almost unheard of. Of course I'd think that, ABC's mandate this development season was quirky family shows, so i developed a quirky family show and... THEY PASSED...

i feel bad for my producers, one who has a crush on me, that they might never see me again if FOX passes after tomorrow's pitch BUT IT WONT HAPPEN THEY WILL LOVE IT.

i mean, what are the chances, that in 2009 the following rejections could all occur to one person...
6 business schools, 4 networks and Lauren Graham. I mean, that would be a scientific impossiblity. God would not heap THAT sheer amount of rejection on one human soul, even HE could grant compassion unlike Harvard freakin' business school! So of course FOX is going to buy my TV show, because this amount of rejection in one year is UNHEARD OF, I mean if I took my case to the supreme court, that's right The World Vs. McLaughlin even they would say "there is no precedance for such an abusive scenario and therefore McLaughlin has to granted one non rejection immediately!" so that's how I know FOX is going to buy my show tomorrow because historically there coudln't possibly be another outcome, even the supreme court says so.

in case you're wondering what it's like to be me...

this is a very accurate way of putting yourself in my shoes!

this is how i feel every day of my life even if i dont act it... this is why Amy calls me JOB (the guy from the bible that had all the bad luck)


i am charlie brown and God (if he actually exists which i'm not so sure he does) is Lucy... he always makes it seem like he's going to FINALLY allow me to kick the ball... and then.... well you know the rest.

it's a sad day when you think the best thing to happen to you this year was a surprise $90,000 surgery....

so yesterday I spent the day pitching to 3 networks my sitcom pilot. It was so intense, you go into these room with these execs and put on a little play for 20 mins. and ih ad to do that 3 times yesterday and then i went out and got drunk. I had remi and carrie over for wine and then they went to a dinner party and I drank a little by myself and then walked to dominikcs to meet up with kristin where i proceeded to drink a lot more and wanted to go home with the guy sitting next to me which turned out to be a director from my favorite show!!! it was coool cause my friend came by to say hi to me and she's a tv director so i think i might have gotten her at least a meeting to direct my fave show.... and then i could meet my tv boyfriend, again!!!

anyway, pitching is so hard for the soul as the studio i work with loooooved my pitch and so when i went in to pitch it it's hard b/c these people dont laugh or sometimes they yawn and when that happens i start hating on myself something fierce and start an inner dialogue WHILE also pitching on the outside!



on thurs I was walking past that restaurant across from Toast and saw natalie maines from the dixie chicks, love her! did u ever see their documentary? it rocks, she rocks.
