I'm running out of rabbits.
So I've been hanging out a lot this weekend with my youngest, Zoe. She's very very yummy. we went to the playground at the Heath and she surprised me continually with her fearlessness and appetite for fun and adventure. Also she's a lot of fun to talk to.
For a 18 month old she does a lot of quite scary things.. counting, running, climbing (can climb a ladder) talking (favorite word is either Airplane or upadup (up and down))
As for the movies, well - I seem to be running out of rabbits in my magic hat. For the last year every time we ran into a problem on the movies, I reached into the hat and low and behold another Rabbit came out. That hat was VERY warm and fuzzy.
No idea what to do but I do seem stuck. The Film finance is SO close to being closed, but I'm unsure how to close this last chasm. Too complicated to explain here, but essentially, everyone has started to move the goal posts and suddenly we can't reach. The film business sucks, but not for the reasons people think.
On the plus side, I've been meeting with lots of technology folks here in the UK, one in particular, a chap named Simon at SpinVox is quite fun. I'm already a customer of course, and a HUGE fan of the technology.
If you aren't familiar with it yet, it basically does what I've forced my assistants to do for years. it listens to my 4 separate voice mail boxes (2 in US 2 in UK) and transcribes my messages into emails/sms's (my preference) and sends them to my blackberry. It's priceless. even better, if it can't make sense of a message, it sends me a message saying so and indicating a number to call in and listen to it. Lastly, all of the phone numbers it collects it puts in click-able live text, making retuning calls simpler than pie.
Ok /end commercial, but he was lovely and I'm meeting their CEO tomorrow to chat a bit more about their business and see if I could be of any use. Funny, the technology business conversations I'm having right now, alongside the sustainability/political dialogs completely trump any movie ones.
