05/14/07

6:30 AM -- Got up and went on a run along the Hudson (gotta keep in shape for the new movie!).
7:30 AM -- Hit the gym.
10:30 AM -- Went to my dentist. Another $1,000 down the drain. I have a deep overbite and I've decided to correct it. They promised me I will have the most perfect bite in the world... $30,000 later. It should take about 6 months.
12:30 PM -- Got into office and had a production meeting for "The Intern" which starts shooting on Wednesday.
2:30 PM -- Chose the winner of the Intern Blogger Contest. He'll be announced soon.
3:00 PM -- There's a man screaming on the streets below our office on a daily basis. I never understood what he was saying, but it turns out he's been screaming the slogan for a sandwich chain that's downstairs. As our office is on the second floor, it gets very annoying very quickly. I've tried to take it to the City, but the bureaucracy got me nowhere. So today, when I was walking back to the office from lunch, I complained to a police officer who was waiting around. He went and asked the guy to stop shouting. He did. Then we walked over to the sandwich chain to tell them to stop the guy from shouting. They said they would. Funny how easily things can get done when you run into a bored police man. One doesn't have to waste time writing letters.
4:00 PM -- The Ben Andrews dildo prototype came in. It's very long and hard, as you might imagine. I had Ben come in to approve it. He also picked up a copy of the completed "Intern" script to learn his lines.
5:00 PM -- A prospective model came in for an interview. He was cute. I think I may put him in a scene.
6:30 PM -- Left work for home.
9:30 PM --- Dinner with my friend Yonah Grossman, who has always been a very funny guy but decided a few years ago to take it to the next level and become a stand-up comedian. He's now performing on a near-daily basis at clubs around town.
11:00 PM -- Got home and read over my lines for "The Intern." Really funny stuff. Tony Dimarco did a fantastic job. I can't wait to play this character.
12:30 AM -- Fell asleep.
1:00 AM -- Got woken up by a call from one of the models who was flying in from out of town for the film. He tells me that he thinks he won't be able to catch his flight. I mumble something and fall back asleep. He'll be fine.
3:00 AM -- Got woken up AGAIN by the same model. He missed the flight by JUST 2 minutes. 2 minutes! I told him to go back home and that we'd deal with it in the morning. I passed out again, dreading the bags under my eyes that I'd have to deal with in the morning due to the lack of sleep.

Well I have to tell you at the very moment you were falling asleep at 12:30 AM on Monday May 14 I was being really "entertained" by Jimmy's shower scene in Encounters 5. And I was late for work this morning because of the scene with Brian Bodine and Vin Nolan. And if I am late for work tomorrow, Jason Ridge is getting the blame.

Believe me this is one of your best releases.
