What made my conversation with Felicia great was that she was nice and straight with me. I can't tolerate people who are blowing smoke, and she didn't. For the most part, my plan for UCLA is to squeeze every damn bit of information, education, and opportunity, out of it.
Felicia helped confirm that I'm on the right track with my plans. I have three different things I want to do. I want to write commercial films (what I call 'feed the monster film', meaning films that reach a broad audience), niche films for the African American audience, and documentaries. She advised me to use as much UCLA equipment as possible and take advantage of the FREE part of UCLA. She also liked that I was getting started on project now, rather than after graduation.
I'm too sleepy to keep typing, but I'll write more later. I worked a little bit more on my fiction book on porn, and I'm about one third through. The Killer Ap is still the Killer Ap, although my original model may mean changes.
Because of grad school, we're going to sell the house and move right next to campus. I just won't have the time to keep up this house, and I'll have to dial back my lectures, so it makes sense. Plus, we're in a housing boom, and I don't want to be caught in a housing bust while in school. But one of the advantages is that my son will be able to go to one of the best elementary schools in Los Angeles. We're going to check out an apartment this Friday.
