do you ever have those days when you just can't seem to focus on what you need to accomplish? These days are brutal on a writer with a deadline. I have to pitch to my producer over at SONY on wednesday and I have to really develop the world of the show I'm ptiching then write the pitch, all of which i was hoping to.. well not finish, but at least start today and for some reason I have done everything but do this. I have accomplished nothing. IN fact when I type this, i'm going to the gym to run instead of working on my pitch. And it's not like something I can phone in, i am going to be sitting in a room opposite my producer, just the 2 of us while I pitch this and it has to be clear, concise, funny oh and a viable idea that she can envision as a tv show. If not, we're back to square one. So the fact that I can't concentrate on my only really reason for getting out of bed this a.m. is DRIVING ME BATTY!

I do however, now have a clean apartment floor as I swifter-ed it and vacuumed and took out the trash, walked to the grocery store, met a friend for coffee, helped her re-do her pitch for paramount and then played on the internet. BTW I liked life a lot more when I had a maid cleaning my place. I've had one almost my entire life so to now not have someone clean my apt. because I can't really spend the money on it is also DRIVING ME FUCKING BATTY.

while at peetes coffee today on larchmont, i saw a lot of people carrying around yoga mats, i need to do this next time I head to larchmont (a ritzy upscale street in LA that is so super cute, has adorable shops, the best pizza in LA and reminds me of scarsdale) I also saw tina majorino, she was the little girl from "when a man loves a woman," she was in napolean dynomite and also she's in big love on HBO. she was walking with some TV exec. I saw someone else famous today too but can't remember who... I went to bed at 1am and then woke up at 6am maybe that's why i'm all over the place today.

last night i went to dinner with my tennis class girls, we're all soo different yet we all get along so well, we range in ages from 45 to 25, from australia to marietta GA, from Catholic to Jewish, from writers to hotel industry employees. we had a fantastic time!!! Damn, i love tennis.
