Canals of expectation... canals of frustration... canals of unrequited longing... see what happens when a man and his fantasies confront the perfect stranger, a million bicycles and pizzas that call themselves pancakes, in a world of canals, as we unleash...
MY ROMANCE IN AMSTERDAM, a fictional blog serial in seven installments, coming to this space tomorrow: Only some of it really happened, but all of it is true.

Billy Mernit: WRITING THE ROMANTIC COMEDY, 20TH ANNIVERSARY UPDATED & EXPANDED EDITION
CUT TO THE CHASE: Writing Feature Films with the Pros at UCLA Extension Writers' Program
I contributed two chapters to this useful book about how to write feature films, edited by Linda Venis, in collaboration with fellow UCLA Extension Writers' Program instructors: it's crammed with good info.CHERISHED: 21 Writers on Animals They Have Loved and Lost
Judith Lewis Mernit and I contributed essays to this book, along with Jane Smiley, Thomas McGuane, and Anne Lamott, among others. Editor Barbara Abercrombie put it together, it's available on Amazon for a mere 10 bucks and change, and all proceeds go to an animal rescue charity.
So what did you think of the "Six Feet Under" season finale? I'm still depressed. But it's not an easy show for me to watch, with my mother currently in the hospital.
Just came back from seeing Broken Flowers. Still processing it. Jarmusch is always tough for me. I get it intellectually and critically. But my heart doesn't want it.

Lis, I was happy with the finale... some truly touching moments... and that final montage was kind of horribly wonderful, the logical conclusion to all those deaths that started every episode from the get... Jarmusch IS kind of tough, but I just keep thinking about Bill Murray's eyes... that's where the emotion lived for me.
