Some of the recent supervillain-themed t-shirts that arrived over the past month. I’ve amassed a pretty sizable collection, none of which I have worn. I’ve been waiting to get a green light for a summer show so that I can show off a different villain for every day of prep, production, and post. Unfortunately, the series I was expecting to fall into this particular category has hit a bit of a snag. Not sure what’s up but communication has gotten a little…spotty of late. And I know from experience what that means.
Along those same lines, the horror comic has also hit a snag. After many months of no feedback, I received some fairly sizable notes. I responded with some thoughts of my own – how I would address some suggestions, why I didn’t think other suggestions worked, etc. And then…another two months of radio silence. Finally heard back that they took exception to my respond to their input. To be fair, I didn’t realize their notes were defacto dictation and assumed they were part of a collaborative conversation. My bad. In the end, however, I’m not so bothered. To be honest, the single face-to-face I had with their team did not exactly inspire confidence.
Meanwhile, have yet one more run-thru for that pitch for action-adventure series in advance of the pre-pitch the following week.
Many a hoop still to jump through!
What do you and your partner disagree about most?

I asked Akemi and, not surprisingly, she said exactly what I was thinking: Whether Sharky gets enough treats. She firmly believes he over-indulges while I, of course, am of the opinion that he does’t get enough. The truth, as they say, falls somewhere in between.

Jumped a couple more hoops this week ourselves. Five months after initial move, house is now empty, ready for “make-ready” cleaning. Planned listing date 8 April.
Meanwhile, we are satisfied that we made a good choice of independent-living community.
If they’re already dictating exactly how you should be proceeding on that show, then that’s already a huge red flag and best avoided anyway.
Of course Sharky doesn’t get enough treats!
I never knew about the frustration getting a show off the ground until your blog. Sorry you’re going through all of that. I hope today you can rest/relax.
Happy Easter and Sharky Sunday everyone!
LOL, that is my house exactly! I think the dogs are getting fat and he thinks they are just fine. He buys bags of treats.
