Sunday Evening Coming Down.

And now, in no particular order, the biggest problems currently facing Bigger than Jesus:

1) We have no production or rehearsal space.

2) The goddamned script isn't done.

3) The game of phone tag between us and a powerful, elusive media executive is now entering its second week. So much for my "clout."

4) I'm fat and squashy, which will look even less attractive on a large screen.

5) Every time I try and write the remaining scenes, I just end up monologuing Glengarry Glen Ross out loud to myself, and then giggling hysterically, followed by a long period of sulking.

6) We have no set.

7) Our budget, and the means by which we will meet it, are in a constant state of ulcer-inducing flux.

8) Everything we aim to do has already been done by Cameron Crowe. And better. So we'll have to kill him.

9) Upwards of thirty minutes must be cut from the script, and we're not even finished writing the fucking thing.

10) It's scheduled to be performed when?!?!

So let's step back and examine these problems in a new light --

1) Handled
2) Almost ...
3) Nuh-UH
4) I love you anyway
5) And what are you going to do about it ....... asshole
6) Don't really need one yet
7) Unavoidable in this business we call show
8) Screw him
9) M.P. not Y.P.
10) It's weeks and weeks away

See how, with the proper perspective and humor (and caffeine) even the biggest problems seem small and fixable? Don't be such a Negative Nelly. I have just the thing for you ... how about some nice Roger Whittaker ...
