I have no good excuses for why I haven't written for so long. Why is it that when my life is dull and nothing happens to me (like the entire year I was working at Pacific Primary) I write pracitcally every day, but when things are actually going on in my life that people might want to hear about, I stop writing almost completely?

Well! Here we are, two days from the beginning of my Cycle 2 shoot. I am bizarrely not freaked. There are a gazillion and one reasons I should be freaked, but I'm not. I don't know why. Maybe it's because Robin, my director, is monumentally un-frazzleable. He takes things in stride and figures out how to deal with them. Our producer, Todd, is ( Read more... )

Enough people have expressed interest in hearing about 300 that I'm awfully worried this review is going to disappoint, but here it is just the same.

I know I owe you all a 300 review, not to mention many others. It's coming. I promise. It's half-done, I just haven't had much time lately. I'm sorry!
