Long Day Part II

First and foremost, I am 100% legal once again. I went down to the Canadian High Commission and picked up my nice, shiny new passport, which means I can get legally married because I have an official document of identity that I can flash to prove that I exist.

Then I went down to the office of the company that’s producing the mini-series. The original plan was to spend a couple of hours there with the other writer, integrating our two separate outlines into one. We spent nearly all that time just tweaking and adjusting the outline for episode ONE. At that point it was pretty obvious we weren’t going to be able to finish this anywhere near in time to make it down the rehearsal space, so we made the call and decided to ditch rehearsals today to get it out.

We didn’t. We were there till well after 9 pm, and in the end we only managed to get three of eight episodes outlined to our satisfaction. So we’re going to go back in at noon tomorrow and see if we can’t finish the rest of it before the seven o’ clock rehearsals start, and if we don’t make it, we just stay there until it IS done, because they say they want to see it, and they want to see it TOMORROW.

They just didn’t specify when tomorrow, so we’re telling ourselves that as long as it comes before 11:59 pm on September 28th, it still counts as tomorrow.

And now if you’ll excuse me, I still have more games to play…
