However, in a time where dozens of trailers seem to be dropping for potential Oscar movies, I am sometimes a day late or even worse. But why is that? Well, I have some unfortunate news for those who have come to expect me to meet my deadlines. I'm having time scheduling issues that will impact the immediate future.
