Potential new client:
How much for X, Y and Z
Me: without more details, between $2000-3000, but let's chat so I can get you hard numbers.
PNC: We've approved the project, at $1100, send over your info and we'll get started
Me: Um...
Oh man, that never goes well.
I worked on a film once and months later the director was openly arguing with a national film critic.
Nothing good comes from that!
Thank works!
Gumby, celebrating Superman day...

Not an hour ago someone said to me, "But you're more open to AI now then you were before, right?"
I'm still searching for the corporate version of "FUCK NO"
What's a compliment you'll never forget?
This is me standing in a hole
This is the whole I just dug
How's your Tuesday going?
Having a story to tell and finding an audience is a lot different then having an audience and then finding a story to tell.
Apparently Marvel's approached is now "just make it bigger",
which after EndGame's the entire universe threat, is a bit silly.
I hope you all feel loved and have community. I think that’ll get us all at least part of the way. Don’t let them dismantle our communities and fill us with hate.
Hosted a corp event today with a buddy and man, it did not feel like work at all.
I was paid to hang out with one of the funnest people I know and perform with him.
(I'm amusing, to his hilarious)
A buddy of mine says "I'm sweet, but I'm not sugar, a little rain ain't gonna make me melt"
Haha
I have 2 of those
Could have saved me DAYS of work if they'd shared their budget ahead of time.
Sigh. This why I've (mostly) left TV
Anyway, if any of you know anyone looking for video content for their service based business, I would LOVE an introduction.
Have to be vague but a couple of months ago I put together a budget for a TV project that would deliver quality work at a BARGAIN, without exploiting anyone.
If there is one thing I have figured out, it's how to stretch a budget.
Turns out my budget was twice what they were expecting.
One of the all time greats.
The front of a very ugly house The downspout for water is above the front door And when it rains the water pours Out 6 ft above the front door
Besides being the ugliest house in the neighborhood, for some reason the downspout is placed so it pours out above the front door.
I shake my head every time I walk past it.
Yup
Why would believe them?
Oh look, Trump told a lie and it's made everything worse.
(Save this for later, it'll apply then too)
I know I reposted this article literally two minutes ago but for all the people who didn't read it I want to drum this quote in:
"It is a fact that Aboriginal women in WA are the most incarcerated group of people in the world, showing the past genocidal practices continue."
Australia is genocidal.
Tonight my neighbors are having a party and they are not being quiet about it.
Sigh, If I could afford it we would have moved months ago.
I can only hope when the renovations are done we can find some sort of peace and let all this bitterness go.
So anyway, today we spent the better part of the day cleaning up our backyard and prepping it for the work that starts this week.
It rained most of the afternoon so it was absolutely miserable.
We're exhausted physically and emotionally and just need a quiet evening in.
So of course...
That our neighbors simply don't care has made it worse.
Not maliciously, they just... Don't care.
Left us to deal with stuff they were responsible for, never checking in, never apologizing.
At one point they said I was being "very gracious" but really, that was just me holding in anger
So my wife has been having a rough time the last couple of days, largely because this week we start the reconstruction of the back room our neighbors burnt down.
It's been an emotional journey, lost income, an ongoing mental health crisis and an unbelievable amount of work.
Oh my.
My instinct it to make a joke too, but before I do, I need context.
Did this woman hold a press conference to announce this, or did someone ask her it and then turned it into rage bait headline?
Cause that happens a lot.
We all mad at someone online who didn't set out to make an announcement.
Yeah, I was gifted that trade.
Looks great, but I just didn't care about anyone so never got the 2nd trade
Read Secret Wars 1 and despite knowing all the characters for decades, just didn't care about any of them.
Would love to see someone else write dialogue for him.
He streamlines it and the ending is just devastating.
Reread it during the pandemic and stopped just before that heartbreaking death
