Sheltering in Place

1048:365: work - a YMAA telemeet & interview for Den with an EP for Continental. Then dog parkn.

[Drunk Monk]

My interview got moved up. Pondering questions now...

[Greg]

Why did they hire Mel Gibson?

[Drunk Monk]

Ha. Good question. 

Ya know, I was at odds with him being in this until the third (and final) installment where he totally goes off the rails. He plays a complete asshole, absolutely merciless, which is something to be said in the Wick World. And in the end, I grudgingly acknowledge that he nails the part.

[Greg]

Aren't there a hundred other actors who could have done just a good a job and not have the baggage?

I get it. It's name recognition. Plus, no such thing as bad press.

[Drunk Monk]

I’m not seeing any backlash on this project yet due to casting. We shall see if you get it or not. I will say that it is a good part for him.

1049:366• Today begins with a YMAA telemeet, then interview #2 for Continental (the director who I have little on), then taking Yuki to get groomed, then over to svale for the weekly mom chores, then writing where I’m falling behind…

1050:367: Go home & finish my Continental piece, plus regular work, then dog parkn.

1051:368: A triple YMAA telemeet day (1 down already, 2 to go), plus I need to edit down my Continental submission because I forgot it was for print (print is about 800 words and I'm like twice that as is). Plus I need to start sorting my Warrior interview questions because my times have been confirmed for next Tuesday, and I need to do a task for KFM. Stacy took Yuki to SF for a hike. I have iaido tonight although the main instructor is away. I might stop by Cruz cafe afterwards because my DJ friend started spinning there. It's on the way back from where I do Iai (London Nelson, not to be mistaken for Louden Nelson, which is just a short walk from the apartment where I lived when I was in grad school at UCSC in '87). Then if I still have any juice left, I'll watch some more Warrior, but I have a 6:30AM quarterly meeting tomorrow so maybe not.

Sitting in my former SOMA kitchen, Rocco's, fueling up after dropping iff the bike for a new, *free* srive-shaft. After breakies, a coffee at Sightglass, then Lyft home. I'll be back at 3:00 to pick up bike and then run errands and get to the Stab Shack. After that, dinner with H.

[King Bob]

My remote day but I have to go in for transfer orientation. I'll hit the used bookstore and the post office before that.

[Dr. Ivor Yeti]

"Transfer Orientation"? That could be ominous. Are they uploading you to The Net?

[King Bob]

I'll be able to see that coming. They haven't even been able to formulate a policy about AI and cheating.

1052:369: Q1 YMAA telemeet in a few - this is a 3 hour meeting. Then writing. Then dog parkn. Then Warrior screening.

[Greg]

A three hour meeting? Blech!
