THE POWER OF MANIFESTATION



So, now I have this "idea" (courtesy of THE UNIVERSE) that COURTNEY LOVE
is meant to play KAYLYNN,
Keanu's sister-in-law.



You know, a lot of people complain that there just aren't that many great roles for women.

( maybe because most scripts are written by men )

So today, I sent out my script to Courtney's attorney, with the "proper" release forms (gee, why didn't I think of that in December?)
And I must sit and muse about how this script is WORTH A MILLION DOLLARS -- a "Parallel Universe" thing.

But, it's all for a reason, lest how would I have ever "seen" such SYNCHRONICITY? (thanks, Cheryl.)

And, I did get a nice letter from LAVELY & SINGER reminding me of my "deposition" coming up April 13th, and that I should
"Please include an appropriate Proof of Service on all documents that you serve in the future"......whatever that means !

Love Isis

KEANU REEVES PUBLICIST INVOLVED IN
MILLION DOLLAR LAWSUIT



Actor Keanu Reeves' Publicist is suing a website for alleged "Defamation of Character", sources say.

Cheryl Maisel claims "peacechief.org" defamed her, and is suing for $1,000,000 in damages.
The lawsuit also is claiming punitive damages.

The complaint states that the Defendant, a woman known as ISIS (nee Lesley Poindexter)
claims Maisel is "the worst publicist ever".

Reeves, best known for his role in THE MATRIX has not had a major hit since his blockbuster trilogy,
opting for smaller, art-house roles. Keanu Reeves has made no public comment, though is expected to appear at trial.

The website owner is a screenwriter and graduate of Boston University, which is the alma mater of notable and controversial
Free Speech Advocates Howard Stern, Martin Luther King Jr. and Bill O'Reilly as well as being home to
Professors Elie Wiesel (Holocaust Survivor and Nobel Peace Prize winner) and Howard Zinn ("People's History of the United States").

The Defendant is representing herself, trial is set for June.

On another, more sober note, Elie Wiesel, founder of the Elie Wiesel Foundation for Humanity lost all assets for the foundation
($15 million dollars) due to Bernard Madoff, as well as his entire life savings.

March 31

UPDATE: Well, now I've seen everything. It was "revealed" to me that COURTNEY LOVE should play KAYLYNN in my screenplay GRACE.
Synchronicity, how I do love thee.

ENTERTAIN US



Ah, the desert ! Keanu has been out practicing driving a fast car,
as he's learning to be a Race Car Driver, as I learn to be a lawyer !

It's all so cute, so "Cosmic".

I have been advised by many people to "hire an attorney". The thing is, I have this Philosophy in Life
that sometimes things come to us that we -- in our short lives -- can experience first hand,
rather than secondarily. It's probably very foolish, but at least it's exciting.

COURTNEY LOVE

On another note, it seems COURTNEY LOVE is in a Libel Lawsuit with some chic from Austin. (So weird.)
At least the chic in Austin was smart enough to pick someone rich to sue.

I am not planning to counter-sue Ms. Maisel, because, well, my people just aren't like that.

As for Courtney, she apparently called this woman a "nasty lying hosebag thief" and "a prostitute and drug addict".
(That doesn't sound like you, Courtney !)

COURTNEY LOVE LIBEL CASE

Well, if Courtney didn't pay this chic for sewing some more of her trampy clothes,
then Courtney needs to cough up the dough.

And, by the way, I am really surprised that Ms. Maisel hasn't "updated" her on-line addresses and phone numbers for Keanu and Sandra Bullock 3 weeks
after I posted this information. I think she is really arrogant, and by the way, WHY wasn't there "more press" about Sandra's restaurant BESS in Austin...



...or that film Keanu voiced-over with Alanis Morisette called THE GREAT WARMING ?

I'm just curious.

Love Isis

PS: I hope Keanu keeps focused on the road, and my best advice: ALWAYS KNOW WHERE THE OTHER DRIVERS ARE.

*******************************************

March 26



Last night, I got back to Hollywood. I walked into the Beachwood house, and found 5 Ukrainian Programmers, a guy from the San Joaquin Valley,
a chic who works in a Sex Shop and Martin, all sitting around 9 computers.

"Isis!" Martin said excitedly, "How have you been?"

"I'm being sued for a Million Dollars," I said.

Martin started laughing.


MARTIN, prounounced "Mar-teen"

"Come see what we're doing," he said, "We're building a website for real-time auctions, like ebay."

I looked around the house, which was trashed. There were about 10 empty pizza boxes
and a garbagecan full of empty Vodka and Tequila bottles in the kitchen.

Two roommates had moved out and two new ones had moved in, including Michelle, from the Sex Shop.

I opened up the bottle of wine I brought with me and poured Martin a glass.

He wanted to talk to me about the Secret Service.



I'd forgotten that they'd interviewed him before Christmas, and then he went back to Argentina for a month for some big Polo Tournament
so I hadn't talked to him. Martin has a heavy South American accent,
and sort of reminds me of Ricky Ricardo, from I Love Lucy.

"Oh yeah, what'd they want," I asked.

Martin looked at me with a slight smile, "They wanted to know if you were gonna blow up a High School."
He started snickering.

"What?" I said.

"Yeah." Martin said, clearly impressed.

"What'd you tell them?"

Martin looked at me with his most serious expression. "I said, 'Isis is not going to blow up a High School."

Then he started laughing again.

Why is it that people always make up lies about me? I am so curious.
When I was in Vancouver, the "rumor" -- I was told by the hostel owner --
was that I was "a Big Time heroin dealer", which I cannot understand
unless my purple sunglasses and full-length white fake fur coat got people wondering.

This new information would "explain" why the Secret Service looked between the mattresses of the hotel I was staying at in December.
Obviously, I look like the type of person who sleeps on top of my arsenal of munitions.

All of this was very interesting to Martin, however, who as a foreigner, is fascniated by everything "American".
He pulled up their badge on-line as he told me all this.



Apparently, he told the Secret Service Agents that he "wanted to work for them".
I cannot even imagine what they must have thought, as he was clearly upset when they showed him identification.

"I thought you were 'secret'!" he told them.

Then he said, "You drive really nice cars -- Impalas! -- how much do you make a year?"

"$65,000".

Martin shook his head sadly. "That's not enough."

On another note, I filed my Answer today, and Judge Lefkowitz waived all my court fees.



*********************************

March 24

Dear Readers:

I would like to say that THE ENTIRE REASON for this lawsuit was because of my script GRACE,
and how completely frustrated I became that I simply COULD NOT get it to Keanu,
even though I know in my heart it would win many ACADEMY AWARDS.

And now (because of my belief that events happen in "parallel" ways), instead of working on a FILM, we are working on A LAWSUIT.

A downward, "negative" Spiral (losing money on attorney fees, "defaming"), instead of a positive "upward" Spiral (gaining money from the film's ticket sales, winning awards).

Of course, it only makes me wonder if my script is actually worth A Million Dollars.



I suppose I could (once again) send GRACE to Rick Linklater, who moved his office (after 20 years) this past summer,
as I received my package back as "undelivered" a couple days ago, which depressed me more than this lawsuit, if you want to know the truth.
Even though I called up his assistant Kirsten and got the right address, I haven't sent it out again.

On another note, I did a little "research" on the Honorable Judge Lefkowitz, and it seems she her passion is THE CONSTITUTION, and that additionally,
she loves writing.



Also, I am so sick and tired of all of the negative comments, which I have allowed for so long because of my strange belief in Free Speech,
and that this whole endeavor is wearing on me.

On the upside, I did (surprise) find in the comment section, a note last night from my fisherman friend Dale from Nova Scotia,
who I met when I went to Vancouver to try to have a drink with Keanu at THE FOUR SEASONS.
I just recently wrote him a letter, just thinking about him, and he "commented" on-line. So cute.
The police interviewed him for an hour (by the way), and he said,
"All she does is sit here and drink Vodka and ask me about fishing. Oh, yeah, and she likes Bob Dylan."



SO DALE,
I just wanted to tell you: I haven't forgotten the things you told me, like how you used to have to lock up the Vanilla Extract from your hired hands, those drinkin' fools,
or about how I should NEVER set the lid of a pot wrong side up on a boat, or about how you never cheated on either of your wives,
and how you bought all your daughters houses.

Those were good times, Dale. I will listen to BOB DYLAN, "Make You Feel My Love" and remember.

Love Always,

Isis

PS: Thanks for buying me a 5th of Vodka everynight (ha ha).

ANSWER

The following is a Written Answer to Plaintiff, et. al.

I have to run this by my uncle (who I hate to bother), so for now, it is not binding.







This document must be delivered to the court by Friday, March 27 and then mailed to the attorneys for Ms. Maisel.

On another note, I hope Keanu has his Driver's License address updated.....

THE FAST LANE

As I will be sending him a summons for Deposition via the SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT.

UPDATE: This evening, I was given DEPOSITION PAPERS, the date of which is set for April 13. I must confess, Cheryl Maisel's Lawfirm did not use a Hummer to deliver paperwork this time and I was very impressed. WELL, I must now get on-line and discover what the hell I have to do next.

On the upside, my screenplay is now "EVIDENCE", which means they can't get sued. Even my mother started laughing.

TEQUILA SHOTS, ANYONE?

*****************************************

March 18

I would again like to extend my suggestion that the attorneys for CHERYL MAISEL consider how their Lawfirm will be affected by losing this case.

Of course, I still would like for Keanu to read my script, which is in the possession of filmmaker RICHARD LINKLATER.

As for being embarrassed about backing out, as a good EGYPTIAN FRIEND OF MINE says, "Well, we're learning."

Love Isis

VIA



VIA means "The Road" or "The Way". I will tell you later, what this means.

The PASO ROBLES WINE VALLEY has over 250 wineries, and this weekend, I went to 8 of them (4 on Saturday and 4 on Sunday).

POALILLO is known for it's Zinfandel (which is my favorite style of wine), and is owned by an Italian winemaker and his wife.

The beautiful image above is from a picture taken of them on their wedding day.
For their 50th Anniversary this year, their children commissioned an artist to take their Wedding Photo and create a Label for them.



I think it's beautiful.

On his marriage success, we were told that he likes to tell people, "My wife and I do the same thing everynight --
it has four letters and ends in 'K'."

"Hmm," I think, as I drink more wine.

"We talk."

Well, we bought 6 bottles of wine there.

Before POALILLO, we went to EAGLE CASTLE.









There was no jousting, but luckily, we missed the TOUR BUSES.

I would've felt like a dork to take a bunch of pictures at other wineries,
but EAGLE CASTLE has a moat....need I say more?



PASO ROBLES COUNTRYSIDE

After that, we went to CHANGALA.



Their wine was excellent, and is made by a woman who used to be an engineer, then she (with her husband's support, presumably)
decided to become a winemaker, went to U.C. Davis and Cal Poly and started a winery in 1980's.
I highly recommend CHANGALA, and you can order "on line".



Aside from the wineries, I also went to a CUTTING HORSE SHOW.

Cutting Horses are used to "cut" cattle from herds, and they are highly trained .



Once the animal is cut out of the herd, the horse keeps focus on it, and moves in a little "dance" that is truly amazing. APPALOOSA CUTTING A BUFFALO



The horse literally moves like some Martial Artist against an opponant.



The reason that we were there is because one of my father's long time friends passed away a couple months ago, and this was his Commemorative Service.
He was a football player for the San Francisco 49-er's and he also trained cutting horses.


CLARK MILLER MEMORIAL


The "Riderless Horse" was very moving to me, and that is Clark's horse.
His wife, Lissa, is walking behind with her grandchildren.

We all --- the close family friends -- spent a lot of time together this weekend. Pictured below are Len's grandkids, daughter-in-law and wife.


Len Rohde, x49-er, Isis, Aidan, Harmony,
Ashleigh (their Mother), Via, Sky and Bev.

We spent some time doing things for the kids, including a mechanical Bull for 4 bucks. (Well worth it.)

AIDAN

The next day, my parents and I went out to Dan and Ashleigh's new ranch. They just moved here from North Carolina,
and though it may seem weird, I had never met them all these years.



Of course, I always got their Christmas cards, so I knew what they looked like....
when I finally met them, it was like I already knew them....sort of like "long-lost family members".

Ashleigh is home-schooling her kids.
She has a beautiful School House set up, with maps and books and activities next to her home.

The kids are being given projects, such as caring for rows in their new Olive Orchard
(which they named themselves).
Some other names are: "Horse", "Penguin" and "Laptop"



Dan and Ashleigh have 4 BEAUTIFUL CHILDREN (honestly, they are all stunning ).


Only my nieces compare.

MY NIECE LAUREN

I had this "Revelation" as we were driving back....that VIA is actually GRACE.

As I mentioned, "VIA" means "THE WAY."

ME & VIA

Of course, seeing as Via is "Home Schooled" by very creative and protective parents,
I don't know how they'd take one of their kids being involved in Hollywood.


VIA

OVERHEARD CONVERSATION:

"So there's this little scandal going on with Keanu Reeves..."

OTHER GUY: "The Matrix"

Yeah, yeah.....so, check it out, his "publicity agent" or whatever, I guess, "Publicist" gets this screenplay from this chic they say wanted to go out with him,
but apparently, the publicist threw it away, so the writer gets pissed, and starts saying all this shit about the publicist on her website.
Oh yeah, this is the best part: the Publicist doesn't even have a website! For Keanu, right?

Well, then, the publicist sends the writer a CEASE AND DESIST ORDER, which the writer then posts on the Internet (laughing).

Meanwhile, all these people from all over the world are bickering back and forth about who's side they're on, in the comments on this website, peacechief.org.

OTHER GUY: Peacechief? Like indians?

Yeah, I guess, I don't know. So then the publicist sues the writer for defaming her, while the writer posts Google searches showing she's doing a crappy job for Keanu..... poor Keanu, right?
What did he do to deserve this?! (laughing).

Anyway, now this publicist wants a million bucks from the writer and the writer says, claiming First Amendment Rights,
"I'll let you back out if Keanu reads my script."

OTHER GUY: Dude, I love girlfights.
