Sorry for Not Blogging
Crazy week. Brain fried from all this writing. A few quick bits to catch you up on the Life Eugene.
-Watched the opening monologue of the Oscars - haven't had time to watch the rest. And now that it's been a week, chances are that I won't watch it. Oh well - the opening monologue was good, though.
-So some point this weekend, some spammer selling pirated software sent out a few thousand junk emails. For the "From:" address, he put a bunch of email addresses @eugeneson.com. Why would a spammer do that? So for all the the bouncebacks and undelivereds from incorrect addresses, guess where they go to? That's right - ME.
So I got bombarded with "Could not deliver" email notices. I stopped counting around 250 or so. I hate hate HATE spammers.
-My (relatively) new Windows PC that I put together? It crashed and burned last weekend. It wouldn't boot - so I had to take the thing apart and isolated it to either a bad IDE cable or a bad secondary hard drive or both. So I trashed the bad cable and hard drive - but the system still wouldn't boot. So I had to wipe the hard drive and re-install Windows from scratch. A few hours later, everything is up and running again.
As for my mac, it's solid as always. If I can somehow legally marry my mac, we'll be registered at Crate & Barrel.
-Had lunch with writer Seth Walter this week at the Daily Grill. Never been to it before, but I've heard all sorts of stories about it (lots of Hollywoody deals go down there, apparently). I recommend the French Dip - the bread is mmm-mmm toasty.
We traded stories about our days as script readers. I don't want to share our "worst script we ever read" stories here, since with the power of google, there's a good chance the writers of these classic-for-all-the-wrong-reason scripts will find me making fun of them. But let's just say I'll never look at Jesus and lollipops the same ever again.

Have a good weekend everybody!

Which Daily Grill was it? I'm interning at a place about a mile from the Laurel Canyon Rd location, but there's always the chance it's at another place. Kinda doubt it'd be the Citytwalk one, though....
I was wondering if this is the same Eugene Son from Magnolia High School in Anaheim, graduated in 1992. Before i say anything else, just want to sure this is him. thanks...paul tran
