Forgot to eat. Proper food, anyways. Found some three week old potatoes and a ready meal. This can’t be good. What *is* good is that I found a continuity person. This is very good. It doesn’t quite offset the complete lack of a sound person but it’s getting somewhere.

For some reason it’s suddenly become the busiest time of year for professional TV and film people. I know this because I’ve now contacted four different soundmen and they are all fully booked until the end of the year. Yes, there will be more and I’ll find one but honestly, if you want to work in moving pictures, become either a gaffer (chief electrician) or a location sound recordist because they are *never* out of work. At least, I can never get hold of one.

What The Executive Producer Does

Thinks: “Hmm. There are various things need financing in the next couple of weeks. Now would be the ideal time to cash in those shares I had a punt on last month at 325.” Hooks thumb under stripey braces and stretches them while leaning back in large leather chair and calling up today’s prices online. Thinks: “Hmm. Now trading at 243. I seem to be learning an expensive lesson about setting stops.” Pours stiff drink, no ice. Ponders: “Wonder if that guy Max would pay to be in a movie?” Executive decision-maker toy says: ‘Don’t even think about it.’
