Oops

I write a post called "blogging kills" and then I forget to blog for a week!  Ha.  Anyway, no blogging because not much to say.  I finished a script today that I've been playing around with, a half-hour medical comedy-ish thing.  My intention, very generally, was to see what would happen if I set out to create a character sort of like the Anonymous Doctor version of Anonymous Lawyer, but while writing it I realized while imperfect lawyers are potentially funny and not necessarily inherently unlikeable, imperfect doctors kill people, and that makes them not so funny, and hurts their likeability just a bit.  So the idea morphed into something else, not sure I've cracked the code on it yet but am happy to have finished a draft I am reasonably happy with.

I read some books recently that I will blog about later this week.  Just figured I should post something, after reading the comment questioning if blogging in fact killed me.  It did not. 

Oh, here's something about crazy jelly bean flavors and something else about matzoh that I things to say about when I first read the article, but I'm not sure I do anymore.  Let me try anyway -- I think gefilte fish and borscht get a really bad rap in this article.  My grandma's gefilte fish is awesome.  And I like beets.
