To Do or Not To Do...THAT was the Question

Well, I did burn CDs like a freaking maniac. (but I still have MANY to go.) I did make it to my afternoon screening, only I got there an hour early because that wonderful co-worker of mine told me the wrong time when I called to confirm. This co-worker (Check my blog archives for the entry where I go off about this loser co-worker of mine - this is the same one) has been "helping out around the office" while the usual guy who actually does help out around the office, is out of town. Really good. My boss is like "Well, sorry about that, but at least you're on the clock."

Yeah, but I had THINGS TO DO IN THAT HOUR!! I did manage to make it somewhat useful in that I had my sketch book with me, so I drew a bunch of new Ballpoint Adventure strips. I plan to draw 52 of them and run them all next year. I plan to draw 52 new Otis strips and 52 of a few other strips and run all new strips all next year. I've got like forty-some weeks to prepare, that SHOULD be enough time. Anyway, so it was annoying since I get a 3 hour minimum. I was there for 3.25 hours. After taxes that means I got an extra 2 bucks. On top of that, the movie sucked. It was John Q. The acting was pretty good, but it felt more like Jerry Bruckheimer meets "Brian's Song". Every chance the film had to be new and different it found ways to be old and boring. It sent a great message and for that reason alone I hope it does well. But unless you want to get slammed in the head several times with a sledge hammer labelled "THE US HEALTH CARE SYSTEM SUCKS", I'd skip the movie.

I did get to see Leonard Maltin - he's such a nice guy. I love doing screenings for him because he almost always says "thanks" and "have a great day".

Anyway, so comparing the days events to my to do list. I did all right, but not perfectly. I did get a lot of CDs burned, but I didn't finish. I did do a screening where I was able to draw, so that's good. I was able to write TheKey (as always) but I didn't even glance at Scripts 1 & 2. I have another screening tomorrow night and I expect to be spending most of the day finishing up all of my CD burning. So, I doubt I'll get to Scripts 1 & 2 even then. Supposedly, I'll have screenings Wednesday and Thursday night as well, too. But hopefully, I'll be done with my CD burning and eBay crap by then - HOPEFULLY!! We'll see!

Here's one for the road:
