Nikki Finke just put up an "ADVISORY: Breaking Talks News" at 10 AM.
Great. Now I get to refresh that page every five minutes while pretending to work.
Mmm. Wife soup. I must've done good.

Nikki updated. It's not any real news. Just rumors about maybe what is supposed to happen at today's meeting.
In other industry news, I just received a package from Warner Bros. containing a flash drive with four screenplays on it for my consideration. It's a pretty nifty idea.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Saves on postage! So do you get to make Oscar nominations? Neat.

I don't get to nominate or vote for anything. (Except, I guess, the Writers Guild awards.) But since I'm in the WGA, they send me all the DVDs and invites to screenings, etc..

Looks like it's not really good for the writers at this point, as far as the WGA is concerned:

Half a gig, I think?
PS -- I miss the media blackout.

Pardon the clueless man here, but what type of consideration?

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
Not Kristen, but "for your consideration" typically means "please vote for us for an industry award".
