I sent off the cleaned up and revised copy of the manuscript to my cowriter today—tonight, I guess—and it’s off to the “just in time” team to read and make sure we didn’t miss anything too egregious. I do have a couple more very, very minor tweaks to make…but the big milestone I reached today was that I came up with a solution to a plot hole that I’m rather happy with. And it was pretty easy. I think it makes a lot of sense. We’ll see.
Watched Us today, amongst it all. A few sittings. I was…a little disappointed. Didn’t think it was scary. And it didn’t really make sense in the end. Along with Nope, I think Jordan Peele has lost me a bit. Get Out was great. I loved that movie. But these next two, I’ve found to be rather meh. A few good ideas here and there, but mostly just not that scary.
Had brunch with our friends Lizderfer and Ali. Fresh-caught lobster that Ali got himself. He does that; goes on dives in the ocean and catches lobster. It’s wild. And made it into delicious lobster rolls, with a lobster ceviche-type thing. Omg. So good. We eat SO GOOD with those two. He’s a chef, I should mention that. Or…he’s a food scientist, and a burgeoning TV personality. He’s been a judge on some food shows. Author, too. Wrote a book called Ingredient, that is rather brilliant. They’re a power couple, for sure. And we love hanging out with them.
Now…sleep. And some rest. I’m going to do my best tomorrow to have a bit of a lazy day. Watch some sports. Niners lost today, which was brutal. Sloppy game, I gather—I haven’t watched it yet, hence the “sports day” tomorrow—and I do know we had the chance to win the game at the very end, but missed the field goal. Nuts. And the Warriors won, which is great. Of that, I know we were down early, so that’s good we came back.
Night night.
