Nobody puts Baby in a corner

About Me

Well, presumably if you're on my site, you already know about me...:) But just in case you don't, I'm just a small town girl from the south (Kentucky, Georgia, North Carolina and Florida to be exact) living the dream in sunny LA, writing screenplays and enjoying the fact I no longer have to pay for a studio tour to walk around the Warner Brother's lot. I've been told I've got a densely packed brain in my little cranium and it causes me to wonder things like why do cats purr, and who invented cheese, and is dark energy really light energy in an alternate universe and why does "clear" deodorant still leave white marks on my little black dresses...?

Fallen (Risen) Heroes

Heroes, true heroes, are difficult to come by in this world. Most of the time (due mainly to the fact that we are human and even the best of us is flawed in some way or another) the people we look up...

Lions, Tigers, and Planes Oh My!

I have a Raiders of the Lost Ark poster in my office, directly across from my desk -- there's Indy, holding his whip over one shoulder, his eyes looking out under the brim of his fedora, daring advent...

Gratitude

So I broke my tooth this weekend. At a wedding. On a piece of roast beef. I think a couple of smart ass kids in Kentucky must've used the cow for bb practice before he made it to the buffet table. ...

The dog in the mirror and other random thoughts

I shouldn't be writing a blog, shouldn't be doing anything but writing my script right now. Can't even believe I'd want to write anything after the amount of time I've spent in front of my computer s...

Wake Up!

So I went on my first hike of the New Year today and it couldn't have been a more gorgeous day. The sun was shining, the birds were chirping, I expected at any moment a cartoon rabbit to come hopping...

On Pinecones and Holly Golightly

Life Lists and Pillow Tops

So I should be in bed, but alas I'm not tired. Delivery men are coming between 9 and 11, which means they will be here either at 8 or at 12. I am hoping it's not 8. Boy do I like to sleep. Scratch...
