It's raining today, and I have absolutely no energy. I have LOTS of work to do, but I figure I'll just do it late tonight... when I'm unable to sleep!
Here's something interesting I read, in honor of Friday the 13th:
"Another Friday the 13th is upon us. Triskaidekaphobia is the fear of the number 13. From early times, the number 13 has intrigued -- and frightened. Napoleon, J. Paul Getty, Herbert Hoover, and Franklin D. Roosevelt were all triskaidekaphobes. According to historians, FDR was likely our most superstitious president. When the guest list at luncheons or dinners numbered 13, he would ask his secretary to join the guests so there would be an even 14 at the table. His fear of the number 13 went beyond the dinner table as well. If he had a trip planned for the 13th, he would ask the conductor to leave at 11:50 p.m. on the 12th or wait until the early hours of the 14th. "
If anyone is reading this, check out my poetry reading okay? I really need to sell out the theater, so the video we're shooting looks good. We're shooting a mixture of video (which we'll convert to 24p with Magic Bullet) and 16 mm black and white. It'll look like the movie Pinero.

Well, I guess I better get to work! No rest for the wicked...
