I had Sophia for the weekend and I was going to bring her back to her mom’s house so she could wake up Christmas morning with a bunch of presents under her tree. Susan wanted to talk to Sophia on the phone that Christmas Eve Monday to get her excited for the next morning. Susan was talking so loud I could hear her end of the conversation as well from about three feet away:

Susan: Sophia, it’s Christmas on Tuesday. Do you know who’s coming tomorrow? Guess who.
Sophia (thinking for a moment): Auntie?

I busted out laughing with that one.

I got word on Saturday from ABC/Disney Fellowship. I didn’t make the cut for their writing fellowship. So that makes all four major writing fellowships that I applied for turned down.

I actually heard about not making the cut in an odd way. I was on a screenwriting group board on Myspace where one of the threads was about the Disney fellowship. I wrote that I was waiting on any possible phone call from them; another person wrote that he had already gotten a call the previous week and was interviewing with them. That’s when I knew I was out of the running.

Yeah, I’m a little depressed about that. That was one I wanted and thought I was really on track for. Guess not. I now have to focus on the web series I’m creating. The pilot is written and registered with the WGA, but I’m not going to talk about it just yet. It’s pretty involved and I think can break through the clutter, plus I still need to cast and shoot the pilot, so I don’t want to jeopardize the thing at the moment. I’m looking forward to getting this out in the open. Should be fun.
