And what day is it? It's been a busy couple of weeks. I just finished up making a couple of prototype stop motion animation puppets for a potential Xmas movie. They came out very cool, and I hope they get the Green Light for this one.

In addition, I've been hired by some department over at the WB to write new dialogue for old Wilma and Betty scenes from the Flintstones, repackaging them for a parenting website. I'm really pleased with what my comedy pal Sarah and I have come up with, and so are they. What's wacky is that I've never met the people I'm working for. Everything is done via email or conference calls. Sarah got the gig, so she must know one of these voices on the phone personally. I officially went in on my first "muffin basket for the agent" this week as there was an actual contract that had to be looked over and signed. If I work hard enough at my Betty, I might score the VO work as well, as they liked my giggle in the phone meeting.

(Somewhere a union writer and union VO artist are having a cow. Wait a minute, I'm in AFTRA. Oh yeah. It's for the internets.)

On top of that, the Cartoon Overlord show has begun! Sunday nights over at ACME, and besides performing, I'm coordinating the artists. We have a rotating cast, so I'm not in the show every single week, which is kind of a relief for once, as it is a ten week run. and I'm well into the seventh month of this pregnancy.

Speaking of...the serious heartburn has set in. The kind that feels like the back of my throat and tonsils are burning up with lava. It is no longer at bottom of my esophagus, but right up at the top, just waiting to burp up and out. Ewww! The cure is to not eat very much and nothing for a couple of hours before bedtime. As a result, I'm learning why the weight gaining tapers off the last trimester. I'm no longer eating for two, or an extra 300 calories a day or whatever. I'm now eating the post-gastric bypass surgery diet. 1/2 cup and I'm full, thanks!! I only gained one pound in the last two weeks.
