From 'Adaptation'

I am thinking of going home for like two weeks preferably at the end of Feb - what attracted me was the fares on BA - I got a return ticket for like £368! that's a bargain at the moment (I'm yet to confirm - logistics)
The thin is I'm not just going to visit - I've been seriously thinking I should be planning my home coming. I was talking to this lady who was telling me she's afraid soon her biological clock will be ticking. For us guys we do not experience that but I can relate (I'm not aware!)
So it official I am looking for opportunities in Kenya - though I have to have an open mind right. Thinking outside the box yeah that's it.

Nothing much happenning? - you must be joking!

[At a seminar, Charlie Kaufman has asked McKee for advice on his new screenplay in which 'nothing much happens']
Robert McKee: Nothing happens in the world? Are you out of your f?*#ing mind? People are murdered every day. There's genocide, war, corruption. Every f*&king day, somewhere in the world, somebody sacrifices his life to save someone else. Every f$*king day, someone, somewhere makes a conscious decision to destroy someone else. People find love, people lose it. For Christ's sake, a child watches her mother beaten to death on the steps of a church. Someone goes hungry. Somebody else betrays his best friend for a woman. If you can't find that stuff in life, then you, my friend, don't know crap about life. And why the %!*& are you wasting my two precious hours with your movie? I don't have any use for it. I don't have any bloody use for it.
Charlie Kaufman: Ok, thank you.
