The Plan as of Now.
Today I rewrote 25 pages of my script. There are 25 left in total. Will pick up tomorrow in between Twilight Zone episodes on Syfy.

Two Things I Just Learned About Myself
1. I will never get good at wrapping presents. Every year I try to be as neat and orderly as possible and yet I never manage to pull it off. It doesn’t help when the roll of wrapping paper runs out upon my final gift. Which happens to be huge.

I've Gone All Scrooge
There should be an option for people who don’t give a fuck about the holidays so they can go back to work. And be productive. And distract themselves from themselves. Last Christmas I was happy.
