Did you know that they’re making a film of Haruki Murakami’s Norwegian Wood, my favorite novel of all time?
In support of my New Year's resolutions...
So, I know that in LA, you can go to the WGA headquarters and sit in the library and read scripts for shows, even if you’re not a member. Is there anything similar in New York? The WGA East website is beyond awful and momma needs to write some spec scripts this year.

My Awesome Solitary Weekend
Pretty much everyone I know is leaving for Christmas tonight. I’m stuck in the city until Monday morning. I am so excited for some good old-fashioned alone time, the kind of thing I used to have on the regular, before I had a live-in boyfriend.* Here are my awesome plans:
Tonight:
Pizza from Two Boots!
Rehearsal!
Cleaning my apartment!
Maybe watching South of Nowhere! (Don’t...

Rules for Restaurant Websites
mariadiaz:
1. ENOUGH WITH THE FLASH INTROS. I realize you think this will make you seem exciting. It is annoying and forcing people to listen to music is even worse. If you must have your flash intro, please make it an option so those of us who don’t care, can go straight to the real website.
2. Please, please, please type up your menu and don’t make me download a PDF. If your menu changes...
