Jul. 22 Blast from the Past: This man walks past the restaurant, and I realized it's Aziz. He was my old manager from Treats back in 2007. I came up to him at Sorrentino's.
A: How are you?
Me: Good, I'm working at the Soup place right now.
A: So how's school?
Me: I graduated.
A: That's good.
Me: I came to Treats back in (May) 2008, and you weren't there.
A: That's because they sold the restaurant, and removed me. I didn't really like working there.
He was there with this old man, and they were talking to the servers at Sorrentino's. I then went back to work.
Jul. 23 The Listener: It was kind of like a Law and Order: SVU ep. Toby and his partner Oz respond to a call of a sexual assault. The victim is played by Tatiana Masley. I've seen her everywhere in other Toronto shows like Flashpoint and Renegade Press. She was also in the movie Ginger Snaps 2.
The attacker was wearing a mask, and a hoodie. Then Toby's friend Detective Marks is on the case. She then told us that it could be the same attacker from a few years ago who was let go of a technicality. They got a search warrant, and then Marks searched the storage locker and found the shoes which is good evidence. Then later it turns out the search warrant doesn't cover the storage locker.
The lawyer then says that evidence can't be used because Marks could have easily planted it. It turns out it's the bad guy's land lord who did it. He ties Marks up in a chair. Marks know's Toby's secret that he's a telepath, and creatively tells Toby what to say. He hears her thoughts that she's transmitting to him. Toby has called the cops and Toby was talking to the land lord saying that he was a cop.
Marks was able to get out of the chair, and then starts beating up Land lord. Toby had to pull her off him. That reminds me of my own script. Sort of. It is a little different.
I was reading that screenwriting book, and learned about subplot. In this ep, the subplot was the doctor Olivia confronts her old high school science teacher. Olivia then manages to save the teacher's life, and the teacher thanks her.
Jul. 24: It's like this show answered my script questions. Why did Detective Marks become a cop? She reveals to Toby that when she was 15, she was in gymnastics. She liked this guy there. Then they later went over to his place to pick up something. She passed out and she woke up with him on top of her. She never told anyone, she quit gymnastics.
This ep triggered all her memories. Now here's some more questions. Why did Toby and Oz become paramedics? Why did Olivia become a doctor? It was a really good ep. Toby revealed how when he was a kid, he could hear everything and he knew that his foster dad really wanted to touch him, but he didn't. "It was only a matter of time," says Toby. He then burned down the garage so he would go back into the foster care system. Whoa, that's crazy.
Peter Sarsgaard: The actor Peter Sarsgaard was on Conon O' Brien last week. I had to watch it because PS was in my favorite movie Shattered Glass. He's promoting his new movie Orphan.
C: So I heard you recently married Maggie Gyllenhaal.
P: Yeah.
P holds up his left hand.
The audience cheers. lol.
That reminds me of that SNL joke on Weekend Update. You know how there's Brangelina?
Seth Meyers: Now we will call Sarsgaard and Gyllenhaal this: GYLLAARSAARD
Well something like that. I thought it was kind of weird both of those last names have 2 As in row.
Ciara "Fantasy Ride": I borrowed this cd from the library the other day. I love it. It has my favorite song "Like a Surgeon" which is kind of like Donnie Klang's "Dr. Love." I like the dance songs "Turntables" feat. Chris Brown, "High Price" feat. Ludacris. "Work" feat. Missy Elliot.
Capital Ex: There was a lot of other stuff that happened at Capital Ex. I tried out some salt from the Dead Sea. I washed my hands with it. Now it's been a week, and there hasn't really been a difference on the hands. It's from Premier.
I saw a magic show with this guy named Steve Hamilton. He was funny and entertaining. He goes by Steve the Pretty Good. It was mainly parents and their children watching it. Well at first there was this orchestra of people from the Navy playing music. After that, Steve appeared. He cuts this girl in half. The girl was from the audience.
Some cool stuff was that he was able to bring a live gold fish out of nowhere. Then he was able to pour water out of a cloth that didn't contain water at all. He made a dog out of a balloon, and then stomps on it in a paper bag. Then he is able to pull out the dog out of the bag even though it shouldn't be there.
Check out his website www.prettygoodmagic.com
Job search: I haven't passed any resumes this month until today. I dropped it off at National Film Board, Trend Research (again but instead of aministrative assistant, a market research interviewer), and Vue Weekly as a writer.
Car: I also put my name in a draw to win a gray pickup truck from CityTV. I did that once, but it was to buy 3 tickets for $10 for a chance to win a car. It was for a charity. The charity contest said a lot of people would sell the car for money, than to actually drive it. That's what I'll do.
Screenwriting: That Writing Movies book triggered a lot of memories. In the dialogue chapter it said things like: "Too on the nose" and "subtext." That's what Glynis Whiting said on the first draft of my script. Then when I was reading about conflict, the phrase was: "Raising the stakes." What does the character have to lose? That's what Conni Massing said when I was trying to complete the 5th draft of the script and get it to 90 pages.
Friends: I bumped into my old co- worker Jennifer from the Soup place. She's 16 and she worked there for a month before she got sick, and then got another job. We chatted for a bit. I told her about the psychic, and she told me that she went to Capital Ex during the storm last Saturday.
Tosh. O: Yeah, I've been watching every episode, but I haven't been writing about it. Well here's a joke.
Cut to a guy throwing a baseball at the mayor to catch. The pitcher was totally off.
Daniel: Looks like somebody doesn't have a dad.
lol. You don't have a dad to play catch with.
