God Save Me
Nov. 29th, 2005 06:21 amToday, in my TV Scriptwriting class, I discovered that honest-but-not-exactly-fluent Sam Wang from Taiwan has--all this time--thought that what I was asking him for was not a document CALLED a "bible" which outlined everything people needed to know about a TV show he'd created but some sort of pitch for a TV show BASED ON the Bible. Like, the Christian Bible. All this fucking time.
You see, the thing about this is, I like Sam a lot. He really tries, as opposed to that Korean guy in my Canadian Film History/Short Screenplay class, whose work (I'd love to say to his smug little face, one of these days) would be pretty much total ass even if he could speak English. But man...this last, above, just took me aback in an almost physical way. All I could say was: "No, that's NOT what I mean. At all. Never in my life would that have been what I meant, for God's sake, though not for God's sake. I mean, Jesus!"
And now I need to pay some bills and go to sleep, so I might actually be able to do work tomorrow--in between the running and the laundry and the re-reading of Barnyard Banter, and all. Man!
