I make my own calendar/datebook. Got an offer to arrange almost a year's worth of appointments but I couldn't book past Dec.

It's complicated to book something, of course, like setting it on a day my biorhythms show are suitable, avoiding conflicts, anticipating blocks of time I'll want though nothing is really bookable (like resting after a jag of intensive work), and so on.

Oddly enough, I got right on it, and See This ~ It's done.

I'm chasing watching all 4 films Elaine May directed. The one i watched last night, Heartbreak Kid (2nd she made) written by Neil Simon wasn't all that good. This was a year after her first film, and critics said she was more self-assured and not learning on the job as with the first one, according to the stories. It helped that Mr Simon was on set making changes and keeping watch on how the shooting went. One story is that May would rehearse with the script, allow the actors to improve, and then film back on script. I dunno, it went near 25 minutes with nothing funny, tho I think all were trying.

Want to watch the set in a week, so one per day or so, because I had to pay to borrow them from the nonprofit film archive store. Tick Tock.
