Slumdog Millionaire

New Rule: If you dont go see Slumdog Millionaire we cannot be friends. it is the most beautifully shot, amazing movie this year. now I truly believe it should win for best picture, but I'm sure Milk will as it has the money of Universal Studios behind the academy award campaign, not FOX searchlight which has not as much money. The statistics alone on the sheer amount of best picture awards Universal has puts it in their favor and the only reason I know this film information BTW is because my show was shot at universal so I drove past the movie posters every day of the best pictures. Please you know me, I'd take a "sleepless in seattle" over "a beautiful mind" anyday! I love love love chick flicks! I love romance and comedy! I'm a total freak girl! I have a good friend who when she meets a guy is obsessed with the story of how they met so when she tells people they will find it so romantic, I'm not as bad as her, I mean, sure I dont want to be like "this is my boyfriend Greg, we met because I wasn't paying attention driving and slammed into his car killing his entire family isn't that sooooooo cute!"

Anyway, i digress, make sure you see slumdog millionaire, it's amazing and i will pay you money if you didn't absolutely love it.

AFter I watched the movie my friends texted me to meet them at The Snake Pit. I was very hestant to go seeing as I was at my friends house on 3rd street and I live right near there but I drove up to melrose to meet them for a drink. Betsy was there as well, she worked on my ABC show and now is working as the Exec. producer's assistant on Samantha Who. She was super psyched to see me because we used to see each other every day in this crazy fun loud funny office and now she works on a show where no one tlaks to each other! Then my friend Bailey randomly came in and I was super excited to see him cause he laughs at everything I say, which I like.

Speaking of jobs, I'm meeting on a show this week for a certain actor from that 70s show. One of the other old writers from 70s was doing it but he left so my name was thrown into the mix. It's just a webseries thing and I'd be the supervisor and writer but it sounds like easy money. Speaking of easy money ABC has finally agreed to pay me out of my contract even though they cancelled the show I was writing on. They are allegedly going to pay me the remaining 12 weeks but lets see if it actually happens. BTW in what other industry would people go to work and not get paid!? Turns out none of the writers have gotten paid for the last 2 weeks of work on our show and its like would these executives who have held up our payment go to work not sure if they're going to get thier money? The entertainment biz is insane. Meanwhile this is not a small operation, this show was with Dreamworks and ABC! And one of the writers has a freakin emmy and he can't get paid!?! Pfft.

Alright, off to a 1 year olds bday party for my friend who I went to high school with.

p.p.s my friend Debbie has just texted me that she doesn't look any closer to meghan fox either. I ate yogurt for dinner last night, so hopefully i'm inching my way there. I need to go do plank for 1 min. to work my abs and and then i'll go to this party, that should help.
