Hard Drive Saga Continues

Well, the 80-90% certainty that the Lacie tech had about replacing the power cord to fix my hard drive problem turned out to be 0% correct. I spent the past few days visiting a couple of data recovery places trying to get a quote to recover my media and project files. The really great news is that the data is recoverable, or so I'm told--for a big fee. But the other really great news is that a friend may be able to have her IT friend recover my data for the cost of a free meal. Deal. What else can I do at this point but try not to freak out so much and just ask the Universe for some mercy. Please.

So I have to admit, the real reason why I'm blogging right now is that I'm completely procrastinating on working on a new script. It's been a while since I've worked on a screenplay, and getting back to writing on a regular basis is difficult. My evening debate consists of: Gym? Nah, tomorrow. Trashy reality TV show? Hmm, definite possibility. Work on script? See response to gym above.

Anyone have tips on how to juggle a full-time day job and creative projects after work?

Hmmm! You get up at the crack of dawn & go to the gym, this will envigorate you so you can be productive at work. At around 3pm start feeding the little monkey (mine is Diet Coke) in your case, Red Bull. Hopefully by the time you get home you'll watch your crappy reality shows and you'll be so wired from the morning workout and the caffeine that you won't be able to fall asleep. Your insomnia will make you sit in front of your computer and write.

About The Three Shorts

Christine Le wrote and directed the 1st story Love 10 to 1.
The first story explores the life of a 29-year-old virgin, Jenny, who desperately wants to lose her virginity before her 30th birthday. As she encounters one loser after another on dates, Jenny pines after her boss, Dustin. While at her grandmother’s retirement home, Jenny learns a powerful lesson from her grandmother about sex and the meaning of life.

The second story revolves around Shane, the lead singer of the L.A. rock band, Dirty Virgin. Shane has her pick of admirers but it’s her roommate Dustin she wants to be with. Shane confesses her feelings on Jackie and Jared’s show but when Dustin meets Cali, Shane’s shot at love starts to dwindle. With Dirty Virgin about to embark on a world tour, will Dustin realize that he’s the object of Shane’s affections? Will they risk their friendship to give this Love Song a chance?

Laura Somers wrote and directed Diving Lessons.
The final story picks up where Love 10 to 1 left off, but from the perspective of Jim, the guitarist of Dirty Virgin. Jim sees Jenny at a swimming pool, trying desperately to overcome her fear of diving. In fact, he finds out that she’s making a list of everything that she’s afraid of and trying to overcome them, one by one. He is instantly smitten and tries to convince her that he’s not just a rock star who ‘loves ‘em and leaves ‘em’. Can a rock star find love with a virgin?
