Day: November 3, 2003

Just turned in the manuscript for the novelization of “Spider-Man 2: In Arm’s Way.” Which isn’t actually the title, but it kind of amuses me. Got delayed by last minute script changes. However, unlike previous occasions on other novelizations where 11th Hour alterations came in, these were all improvements. Several lengthy and frankly painful speeches went away, and the climactic Spidey/Doc Ock face-off plays far more smoothly. So although they took time to do, it’s the sort of changes I really don’t mind making.

By the way, for those of you who have seen the Spidey II teaser posters and either couldn’t tell or didn’t notice it, that’s Doc Ock reflected in the eyepiece of Spidey’s mask.

If anyone is interested in seeing how Caroline, the Cutest Baby in the World (TM) spent Halloween, swing by the new page on her mommy’s website at…

Thrill to Caroline hanging in the pumpkin patch with her big sister, Ariel, and being carted away in a wheelbarrow (so that when she gets old enough to ask where she came from, we can say, “The pumpkin patch, and here’s the pictures to prove it.) “Awe” to Caroline in her Stitch costume, cavorting at Mommy and Me or just looking thoughtful as she contemplates a variety of vengeance schemes upon the people who dressed her up this way.
