last week i had an enthusiastic chat with Disney (not the actual man) about tv projects. tomorrow i've got a meeting at nickleodeon to discuss the same. amongst this i'm also talking to a coupla other nice-lookin animation companies about the shows i want to make. i've been showing them all my pitch portfolio, basically a book of about 20 or 30 pitches, everything from Bear to the shows i worked on at CN.
i say this not because i am mister 'oh, la-di-da, look at me hopping around in my pointed shoes with bells on', but because it all puts me in a very curious mood. its obviously exciting, and gratifying that tv people seem interested in what i do again. but that's tempered by a weary cynicsm that i've spent the last 5 years working through the tv development system and it all went cockarse. yes, cockarse. so i know i'm at the beginning of a very long and windy road again, to not know whether it even ends anywhere. don't get me wrong, i don't mean to sound ungrateful. i am very excited to have these chances again, and this time around i'm going to take a lot less pushing around. but i'm trying not to get my hopes up.

still, onwards and upwards. the show that failed for CN seems to be the one thats interesting the most people, which reaffirms my belief that it's worthy.

here's to making some bloody telly! and eating a whole cheesecake if it all goes wrong, like i did last time.

god i love cheesecake.
