"God is going to be pretty good."

-
When I was pitching Joan of Arcadia, a studio executive asked me if Joan would be "heroic" in nature. I said, "No, she’s a teenager, so she’s narcissistic, sulky, self-obsessed.” The executive said, “Well, I’m having trouble finding the good guy in all this," to which I replied, "Well, God is going to be pretty good." - Barbara Hall

ancilla: it is a TV show. I have never seen it, so I cannot say how good (or bad) it is. You might finds links to online copies of it here.

tin-tin: glad I timed that well. Yes, I have always been fascinated by fire (isn't everyone?)

kaymac: perhaps. I thought it was pretty good. You just have to get in the mood of someone pitching their series idea to a TV producer.

breal: I thought so too.

rennyba: thanks for always remembering me and dropping by.

I like the 8 precepts, but the rest of the e-mail is junk. However, I thought it fair to post everything in its entirety. I did not write the e-mail. I did not forward the e-mail.

Eleven years ago today

So what happened 11 years ago today? According to wikipedia and BBC’s On This Day – not much. Lot’s of things have happened on March 10th, but, apparently, nothing newsworthy happened on 10-March-1995. On this day, I met Sofia for the first time. I remember this, not because I was so impressed with Sofia, but because of the way I remember things. I remember most of my first encounters with future friends – but generally not the date I met them. But … there is one thing I do tend to remember – birthdays. I remember meeting Sofia because I was asked to pick her up and bring her to a friend’s birthday party. How did this first meeting go? Me: Hi. Are you Sofia? Sofia: Yes. Me: I’m Richard, I’m supposed to pick you up to go to Olga’s party. Sofia: Yes, let me get my coat. Me: I think you should change you skirt and put on a pair of pants. Sofia: No, it’s ok. Me: This is Canada, it is still winter and it can get very cold. Sofia: I’ll be fine, besides we’re going by car. Me I sti...

Desperately Seeking Souls

Saw this blog thing over at Lunafish 's site and, since I liked my results, I decided to do it on my blog as well. You Are a Seeker Soul You are on a quest for knowledge and life challenges. You love to be curious and ask a ton of questions. Since you know so much, you make for an interesting conversationalist. Mentally alert, you can outwit almost anyone (and have fun doing it!). Very introspective, you can be silently critical of others. And your quiet nature makes it difficult for people to get to know you. You see yourself as a philosopher, and you take everything philosophically. Your main talent is expressing and communicating ideas. Souls you are most compatible with: Hunter Soul and Visionary Soul What Kind of Soul Are You?
