There's no off switch to genius.
last night at about 3:30 in the morning i had an idea that i was certain was solid gold. and i knew this idea would be good to bounce off of my friend erin, who has worked on many tv shows. i decided i couldn't wait any longer, and called her immediately, thinking i would leave a message on her voice mail. here's the message:
erin: hello?
me: oh man, i woke you up. you sound like you're sleeping.
erin: what is it?
me: i had this idea for a show, i figured i would leave you a voicemail about it, because it would be perfect for us to work on. it's called monkey manicure, and
erin: i'm hanging up now.

i hope she sobers up and realizes that we need to act now. call me erin. i will accept your apology.
