One of those against all odds things happened today in Words With Friends:
In the last round, I got J, Q, and Z –– each worth ten points (because they are so challenging to place) –– and practically nowhere to place them since the board was filled. Even lame places, like non-Triple Letters and 2 letter words (JO, QI, and ZA) weren’t even possible since those vowels weren’t open anywhere.
NOTE: If you’re not a scrabble/words with friends person, you may not know this but if you don’t use those letters at the end of the game, they are detracted from your score. So if you can’t make them fit, you’re down by 30 points.
NOTE 2: in a totally obvious slip, I actually typed “pounds” rather than “points”–– were that only the case!
Speaking of which …
12 minutes of jump rope today, a vigorous walk with Belle to my private client, Bikram, and then a 60 minute beach walk.
It’s been weird NOT having to work on the screenplay this week –– I emailed the draft to Sarah on Wednesday –- since it’s been the CONSTANT item on my to do list this year.
It’s only during the windows where she’s reading a draft (meaning, three to seven days) that I feel entitled to NOT work on it. Right now, she’s half-way through and loving it and on her way to the set of IRON MAN 3 in North Caroline, so I’m currently of-duty as I wait for comments to make sure we’re totally movie star worthy.
[And this may mean I actually have the weekend off … well, only sorta in that I’ve got some other major work stuff to do while getting myself in shape in order to get a movie star in yoga shape for the film.]
But prepping non-stop so that my awesome producer can give our script to the #1 movie star in the world (who she cast in his last two films) while sweating constantly isn’t that tragic.
An Embarrassment of Riches, indeed.
