round 2 results of the writing contest came in last night. 1st place finish. which was surprising because i didn't like that second story as much (i felt it was too similar to the first. a waiter working the graveyard shift at a diner waits on Death). i should have gotten 1st place for the first script, so i guess this balances out. round 3 assignment will be announced tonight. i'm going up against the top scorers of the first two rounds. will have 48 hours to write this script...on top of having to drive down and back from la to pack up my stuff and talk with brian about moving out.

challenging weekend. i look at it as a test.
