What I need.
What I really need right now is a Hollywood Creative Directory. I haven't done anything with Dot Com since I heard back from Austin Film Festival during the big move, and it's time I change that. Maybe this weekend I should cuddle up with Max Adams' book and come up...

Kitties in the sun.
Immortal Gifts invites readers to re-evaluate the meanings of things such as life, death, freedom, hate and love from the first page. Katherine Villyard manages to capture some of the most poignant questions we ask ourselves as we go through our individual lives.
