I started this for a reason, but I forgot now. oh well. i'm spending my free time now just sitting around the house looking at TMZ.com (i'm sorry.. I don't know what's wrong with me) and occasionally yelling at a passing cloud. I pass the afternoons yelling at clouds. if there is nothing lazier than I .. it's a cloud.
I want this strike to end with the WGA. I've posted a message or two on Facebook and MySpace. They were commentaries, but I should include it here. I wrote it after getting a note from my Yoga studio saying that they would give you discounts if you were an out of work Writer. SCREW THE WRITERS... what about the rest!?!?!?!?
Okay.. so I'm going to blog during unemployment time. While we are in the middle of escrow on a new house, a lot of stuff has gone 'down.' But I'm going to remain optimistic that it's all for the best. Keep the faith, keep prayer, keep good things going.. until then. I got janice, four kitties, and a Wii...
now read my open note on myspace and facebook;
while it's wonderful that businesses and celebrities support the writers by giving them discounts for meals and services, they should not forget those in the entertainment industry who have been forced out of work by the writers strike.
It is upsetting to see writers get preferential treatment during this time, especially when they still have an income from residuals at this time. The fact of the matter is that there are several others of us in the entertainment industry who have been left unemployed by this strike, without ANY income since November.
In the interests of fairness, if you notice a company giving preferential treatment to writers, ask that they extend their discounts to all of those in the industry that have been left in the dust and forgotten about. The strike doesn't affect just one group, but us all.
