Over the past week I kicked off several large freelance projects, so the screenwriting took a backseat. Please note that when something or someone is in the backseat, they are not left behind. They’re simply out of the loop, not active participants in conversation. Hence the popularity of riding shotgun. My dad once claimed that he and his friends used to refer to riding in the backseat as “riding frog.” Why? Because only the top half of a person’s head can be seen over the large diner booth that is the front seat of a 1955 Chevy, a scenario that can be likened to a frog sitting in water with its eyes just above the surface. I’m 99% sure he made that up to amuse both himself and his daughters. But I digress…
There IS progress to report. I am up to 25 scenes sketched out on index cards (up from 18 as of the last time I reported) and will soon write an overdue post on last weekend’s screening #4: “High Fidelity“. I’d never seen it before, a fact that some people found absolutely shocking and borderline offensive.
P.S. I love Jack Black.
P.P.S. Cody, my husband, could easily have starred in “High Fidelity”. I’ll soon explain.
