And have all kinds of advantages.īut working for my father is NOT one of them. Wear the nice clothes (though they don’t look so nice on me). Sometimes I feel like a hypocrite when I think about Dad like this. Including all the things that keep the Blume family going. He likes his money and all the things it can buy. I know Dad isn’t always proud of the kinds of films he makes. Hundreds of people are working and spending zillions of dollars on a movie that is basically dumb. It would just have caused tension between us if I told him what I really think. I told Dad what I knew he wanted to hear- Exciting and suspenseful. I think Never is a perfect name for this movie. He just wants me to feel like I’m part of his team. He doesn’t really care what I think about the script. Write up a summary of the plot and tell me what you think of it, he said.

They finally settled on a title for it- Never.ĭuring my first week of work Dad asked me to read the script for Never. This afternoon I have to make 35 copies of the script for the next film Dad’s producing. Grease, fat, calories! Croissants are just as bad. Someone brought a dozen donuts into the office kitchen this morning. I’m noticing that when I eat slowly I enjoy my food more.

They don’t see me when I’m in my underwear. I might as well start now.Įveryone tells me I don’t need to lose weight. I’ll have to watch what I eat for the rest of my life. I am one of those people who gain weight if they eat five peanuts.

STARTING TODAY I, Maggie Blume, vow to write down every bite that goes into my mouth. Lunch: ½ tuna sandwich (NO mayo), diet soda, 1 apple (small). Martin Monday 7/13īreakfast: Small bowl of cornflakes w/skim milk, black coffee (no sugar).
