The Moose in the Closet

Tuesday, March 28, 2006

Had an interesting phone call last night – hoping something amazing comes of it. Should have some more information by tonight, potentially on one more thing as well. Both really big things – huge. Like, bigger than big. I was talking to Josh last night and asked him to guess who may be interested in POSTCARDS – he wasn’t even remotely prepared for the response. I still don’t even believe it. I’ll leave it at that because, honestly, too good to be true which means there’s no fucking way that this is going to happen and I’m ok with that, I never expected this to even be an option. It’ll make for a fun story on the production blog one day, however.

How’s that for cryptic?

I think my email’s down, by the way – or at least not working all that well. Anyone try to email me over the last week and never get a response from me? I realize the whole “email isn’t working thing” is paranoia 90% of the time but I sent an email to myself and never got it, plus I was never notified of some message board posts – this is a really bad time to email to be acting-up.

I don’t have much to talk about today – if you’re dying to read something I wrote go check out my post over at the POSTCARDS Production Blog – all about the first time I pitched the project and what led up to it. I hope to announce my first team by the end of the week, by the way – there’re two teams I can 100% announce but I don’t think they’ll be huge surprises so I’m holding out to square things up with another team. Plus, if the things that may be coming together this week end up coming together – well, they’re the first announcements.

Sometimes it’s better to hold out, you know?

Anyway, just bouncing in for now. I’ll have something new on the POSTCARDS Production Blog tomorrow for your reading pleasure.

It's Jesus Christ.; 2:25 AM
Dembicki said...: That'd be pretty amazing, though I bet he'll first try to publish through the Vatican.; 10:57 AM
Fialkov said...: He's not gonna let those old stiffs tie him up in an exlusivity contract. He wants to do newer more exotic books with words like Fuck and Tittie-wangler in them.; 11:18 AM
Jason said...: Well, just had my phone call with Jesus. He told me he views his story as a "back-door" pitch to Hollywood and he wants to establish an "in" so he can, and I quote, "Erase the damage that pigmy-fucking loon Mel Gibson did.”

I told him that I had no postcards in my collection that were sent during 33AD for him to base his story around. He told me, and again I quote, “Paul’s first letter to the apostles was written on a kwanza postcard. He thought it was an Easter postcard but that fucker was blind as shit. He’d always tell people I cured him and then fall off of a hill or something. Embarrassing – truly embarrassing.”

When I told him that it’s hard to believe Paul’s letter to the apostles would fit on a postcard, he remarked, “If I said it happened, it fucking happened. Gospel of Jesus, bitch. I just gotta get me some paper, you dig?”

So he's in the book. SCORE!; 12:20 PM
