BARB’S BRAIN MAKIN’ A LIST, CHECKIN’ IT TWICE…

1. Am now officially eight days past my deadline to submit my National Catholic Register column. No hope of getting it done until Saturday. – NAUGHTY

…Am ducking their request for a special article about the Pope on Cinema because I really want to do it, but can’t see how or when – NAUGHTY

2. Was supposed to turn in the first draft of the screenplay Nov. 25. Am now shooting for Christmas….We’ll see how much I get done on Saturday. – NAUGHTY

3. Am five weeks late submitting my chapter for the Act One book. They would certainly cut me out of the project if it wasn’t for the fact that the book editor works for me. Saturday looks good to wrap that up. — DEFINITELY NAUGHTY

4. Have written but not typed up a preface to a new book on the theology of The Passion of the Christ. They made the mistake of saying, “Whenever you can get to it.” I think I can get it done Saturday before I really start writing. – NAUGHTY

5. Managed to do all the final negotiations for the new Act One offices. We sign the lease Friday. – NICE

6. Am ducking a new friend who runs a cool ministry that I really love. She asked me two months ago to give notes on the marketing plan they will be rolling out this year. – SLIMEY NAUGHTY

7. Am spending the next two dfays participating in a consortium on theology and cinema. I actually read the four books they sent in advance of our discussions – NICE!

…But, then, they sent me a pile of papers to read based on the books, and I only managed to print those out. Sigh. – NAUGHTY

8. In anticipation of the Act One Board of Directors meeting tonight, we managed to get out an agenda and all the budget stuff and other info to the members three whole days ago. – NICE

…Me taking credit for the fact that my staff did the lion share of work getting all the Board meeting stuff together – PROBABLY NAUGHTY

9. Managed to coordinate several meetings this week between our Hollywood Christians, and a delegation of Christians from Capital Hill. The meetings have been very well-attended and interesting. – NICE

…Thinking of the follow-up blog or messages I should write about our discussions. Maybe can squeeze it in on Saturday… – NAUGHTY

10. Still have to find that 12″ GI Joe tank for nephew John Thomas somewhere out there in Internet shopping land. Have been spending too much time surfing around looking for it. – MORALLY UNCLEAR. CONSULT FAGOTHEY.

11. Have so many cool things to blog. Been saving thoughts since the film festival back in October. What if I die suddenly without getting to post my ideas of how The Wizard of Oz fails thematically by having subverted itself as a musical in terms of its methodology? Thinking I can get up early on Saturday. – IS IT NAUGHTY WHEN IT’S JUST INSANE?

12. Everyone is asking me to comment on movies. Haven’t seen anything for months. Need to see everything. – NAUGHTY

13. Missing the office Christmas party tomorrow to be at the theology thing. – NAUGHTY

…Saving money by not getting presents for anyone at the office and thinking no one will notice because I am missing the party – DEEP IN THE NAUGHTINESS ENDZONE*

(*credit to Karen Hall for coining the usage)

14. While running between events yesterday, I turned on the radio and heard a song about Christmas. It made me think of Jesus and my heart swelled with love. Still got it, even now. – VERY VERY NICE
