Heidi:
It was a pleasure speaking with you this afternoon (my time, anyway) and, as discussed, I have attached my agency agreement for your review. Obviously you have a lot to think about and, as I said, you owe it to yourself to wait and see what other feedback you get. However, that said, I would be delighted to take you on as a client and work with you to get your proposal ready for submission by mid-September.
Remember: Endorsements!
Please contact me with any questions, concerns, etc.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Regards,
-Tris

ahahahahahahahahaha
Former Culture Club singer Boy George began his community service sentence in Manhattan on Monday - the result of an arrest for cocaine - and all did not go well for the portly Brit. "You think you're better than me?" he yelled to the members of the media who came to snap pics and try to interview him. "Go home. Let me do my community service. This is supposed to be making me humble. Let me do this. I just want to do my job." Poor George. Next time you're doing drugs in your apartment, don't call the police. Idiot!

My Goal in Writing
Ephron pointed to her own novel "Heartburn" as an example of how a writer always holds back some part of a personal story, noting that it was "so not the whole truth about the end of that marriage, just a comic monologue about it." And while that may be, its acidly funny retailing of the breakup showed her gift for leavening the most maudlin and maddening of situations without abandoning the truth or tacking on a mushy resolution.
Great Article
What's so damn great about aging? Crackling good writer and "Sleepless in Seattle" director Nora Ephron gets serious about sagging necks and wrinkles, transforming her family life into fiction, and why her movies aren't as stupid or schmaltzy as people say...
Ephron describes Al Gore as "the ex-boyfriend who's starting to look good after forty bad dates with other guys. He's gained a little weight, but who hasn't? He's still unexciting, but excitement turns out to be overrated. He's not great in bed, but the last guy you slept with who was great in bed never called. What's more, he's on the board of Google, he was in on the IPO, so now he even has a little money. He's starting to look like the man of your dreams ... There's a little voice telling you that once he has something to lose, he'll go back to his old habits and blow it all over again, but you're not listening because you're desperate: you need to find a guy to marry. After all, time is running out."

To Fuck or not to Fuck
Must. Make. Decision.
Am running out of time.
Cannot breathe quite right. Stomach has been hurting for three weeks. Now feels like ulcer.
Cannot look A in the eyes.
Cannot stop thinking about Z.
Know that I am too old to only indulge.
Know that Z is nothing, and A is real and true.
But. Cannot. Act mature and wise. Or even in my own self-interest, it seems.
Must have Z and cocaine. Cannot stop even though have tried. More times than can count.
Screw. This. Bullshit.
Blame the past? Blame my age?
Blame myself? Yes. But who is myself? Can someone tell me how to get myself to sit down and take the time to have a talk with me?
We need to figure some things out.
No time, no time. Rules and time and death say so.
Come on now, come on, let’s go.
Make a decision. One, two. Marching forward.
One, two.
No.
Just one.
Do it!
Now!
And so I run. And skip.
And joke.
And avoid. And snort. And fuck. And laugh until pretend feels real.

Huh?
Money Quote:Stephen Hawking, answering a question about the global threats facing humanity: "The likelihood that we will need the services of Bruce Willis in the next 100 years is very small."
