PAGE 2012 International Screenwriting Competition

Well hey good news for Mandia. Just got word I'm in the running for the PAGE 2012 International Screenwriting Competition -- having advanced to the Second Round (top 25%). Pretty decent when you figure about 5,200 scripts were entered. Anyhow, only time will tell...

The Getty

In my continuing effort to spark the writing bug, and enjoy these purty So-Cal summers with Annika, we took a trip to the J. Paul Getty Center up in the hills above Los Angeles. $15 buys ya a whole lota art...but beware the Docents, they tend to be...miserly, if you get my drift -- "no pictures of the art work!!!" Nevertheless, good shit for sure.

Ellroy vs. Peter

Cottontail, that is.
Strange, but true: a Red-tailed Hawk swooped low, it's talons full and fuzzy. The sun real bright, sky so clear, and PLOP! Out fell a rabbit, cottontail-type, right there off coast of Los Angeles, like an offering from the gods, deus ex machina. And the rabbit fell, still kicking -- just barely. And Ellroy got his first rabbit -- albeit with the help of a very clumsy Red-tailed Hawk...
