Bandits

Courtney ( http://youarewhatyouloveagain.blogspot.com/ ) has shown me just how much of a slacker I am as far as updating my blog goes so I am officially vowing to be better. Done. Consider it vowed.

So I just returned from my History of film class and we watched "Bonnie and Clyde" which I have to say is quite brilliant and makes me really want to watch "Bandits".

This month has been full of craziness as we're getting closer to shooting "Inspector 42" and the run of "Macbeth" starts. Sadly I won't be able to actually be on set for "Inspector 42" because I'll be tattooing billions of people for "Macbeth"... though getting to use the airbrush machine might actually make up for it. I will, however, have perpetually stained black hands for a month... so that's the pits. But here is the beautiful old abandon elementary school that we've begun to transform into a shirt factory from the 1950's for "Inspector 42"



PS the movie is in black and white... hence the black and White photo.



These are the inspector stations.

And now... for the book (you knew it was coming you just didn't know when). The book has gone through it's official final edit. The copyright is in the mail on it's way to Draper. The cover photo has been shot. And I am getting everything compiled to send of to D.C. where Jackie will put it into book form. What does this mean? This means I should have a bound copy of my book in a few weeks! This is basically the most exciting news in the world in case you were wondering. I wish I could just throw copies of my book off of a building so everyone would read it... but sadly I actually have to charge for it (Probably about $10 depending on how much it costs to bind it) which makes me feel bad but in fact, I don't have hundreds of dollars to throw around. Hopefully one day it'll get published and my publisher will take care of that but we'll just have to see. I'll be sending copies off to various literary agents pretty soon so keep your fingers crossed... which I suppose is an ironic thing to say since that's the cover of my book. I wanted to wait until I had the title on it to post the cover art but Jackie is tragically busy in D.C. so I'll just post the unfinished photo for your viewing enjoyment :)

"It's Not You It's Me"




So that's my life right now. Enjoy :)
