The sweat is on at Chateau Feliz (the multi-cultural name of Kenny’s and my apartment complex.) Kenny’s buffing up for his role in our upcoming film and I’m getting bikini ready for Cannes. But our aspirations go well beyond mere vanity. A former ballerina, I positively thrive on discipline. It’s amazing how the less time I have to tackle a mound of work, the more I actually seem to get done. Even our “down time” seems to be work-related these days – writing, plotting, brainstorming new ideas. Read the rest of this entry »
