Well, dear readers, hold your hats and hallelujah, BK’s gonna show it to ya: 61%!!! Yes, we began the day with one contribution, and then nothing at all, and, given the shameful event of yesterday, I could not cheerlead as I normally would have. In fact, I made no post until the late afternoon, when I put up some new perky perks. Then nothing, so I watched a motion picture. After it was over, I decided to check to see if we’d had even one more contribution and was I surprised – there were two smaller contributions, and then the one that took us up a whopping 13% – someone grabbed the signed Alfred Hitchcock note to Billy Wilder, the most expensive perk I’ve put up. So, in a little less than nine days, we’re at 61% and over 12K. I danced a jig, I tell you, and there is nothing quite like an Old Jew dancing a jig. In any case, as I mentioned above, we put up some new perks last night, so please check ‘em out and let’s keep heading to our goal and 100% so that we can then cover the Indiegogo fees and go to infinity and beyond. Here, as always, is the handy-dandy linkilicious link.
As also mentioned, I did manage to watch a motion picture for four dollars – another Liam Neeson thing, this one entitled Non-Stop, about an air marshal on a flight from New York to London. Naturally, there’s a crazy person on board who threatens to kill someone every twenty minutes until 150 million is put into a bank account. But the crazy person is also wily and is framing the air marshal at ever turn. First of all, I always enjoy a film set on an airplane. And as wildly implausible and silly as this one is, it’s also highly enjoyable, with an excellent cast of players – Neeson is his usual self and fun to watch, Michelle Dockery at the height of her Downton Abbey original series, Julianne Moore, Corey Stoll, and others. The director has helmed several Neeson films in addition to my personal favorite of this director’s movies, Orphan. And now, I’m waiting for a Cobb salad to be delivered and when it is I shall eat it vociferously and with great elan.
Yesterday turned out to be a fine Friday in terms of Indiegogo and a shameful day for women in these here United States, when the disgusting judges shoved in quickly by you-know-who, who, by the way, all LIED at their hearings, yesterday made a mockery of what the Supreme Court should be, and, for me, they should all be ousted. I don’t really talk about these kinds of things in these here notes, but it has to be said. The six who demolished Roe v. Wade will hopefully receive all the karma they so richly and hugely deserve. And I don’t care who knows it.
I got about seven hours of sleep, got up, answered e-mails, did some writing, then went to Gelson’s and got stuff for Wacky Noodles. I came home and made them – about six or seven ounces – only two helpings for some reason, where it’s usually three – but they were a good batch. Then I did a few things that needed doing, and then I watched the motion picture, after which I got the great news of 61%. The Cobb salad has just arrived and so I shall now inhale it. I shall return momentarily.
I have returned momentarily, having eaten the Cobb salad. Normally, the Wacky Noodles would have been enough, but it just seemed to be less than I normally make, so I got hungry. The Cobb salad was pretty good, from some new jernt. I probably overdid it with the ranch dressing, but I enjoyed it nonetheless and lessthenone.
Today, I’ll be up by ten, and then I’ll mosey on over to Marshall Harvey’s house to finesse the sizzle reel for Laura Wolfe. I’m hoping we can have a lunch afterwards, and then I’ll hopefully pick up some packages at the mail place, after which I’ll come right home. I’ll do some writing, and then I’m joining Lanny Meyers to see his son’s one-person show at the Hollywood Fringe.
Tomorrow is more of the same in terms of writing and stuff, and then next week is all writing, all cheerleading, and finishing our second week of the Indiegogo campaign.
Well, dear readers, I must take the day, I must do the thing I do, I must, for example, be up by ten, finesse a sizzle reel, eat, hopefully pick up packages, write, and then see a one-person show. Today’s topic of discussion: What are your favorite films whose central setting is an airplane? Let’s have loads of lovely postings, shall we, whilst I hit the road to dreamland, very happy that we made a big jump from 47% to 61%.
