I would be calling them and messaging them just as Im doing right now.
Yeah, I do.
It was very strict.
Im one of the few fortunate ones.
All of my friends were complaining, but I really wanted to get some scripts out of the way.
Now I really can.
So, Im one of the masses in L.A. that is now jumping in front of her TV.
I have been thinking of the abysmal inequality that the pandemic has illuminated.

I delivered last week the second draft for a Guillermo del Toroproduced movie, which is a Western.
Now Im doing the second draft of the script that Im writing for Noah Hawley as a producer.

Back in 2009, in Mexico City, what on Gods earth did we do for two weeks?
I honestly cant believe we survived it without streaming.

One of my favorite books when I was growing up wasLa Peste, by Camus.

I caught up with comic books, too, which I havent been doing in a while.
This is not the end of the world.
Its just scary, because its not impossible that it will hit close to us or directly on us.
I think that is a very powerful takeaway from all this.
