July 26, 2005 – 12:18 am

I’ve got work to do. I’m trying to assemble a cool mix disc and I’ve got very little time in which to do it. But I want to share four quick pics. the first is one I take on Sunday: Pretty much sums it up, no? I get a fix-it ticket for not having a [...]

Intoxicant

July 22, 2005 – 9:48 pm

When Jason Bentley spins Mylo on Metropolis, one can’t help but start grinning. I blogged about “Destroy Rock & Roll” already. “In Your Arms” is even better.

Images of HOLLYWOODLAND

July 22, 2005 – 4:42 pm

Just thought you all might be interested in a few random snapshots. I’m on my dinner break on Wednesday. It’s rush hour. As always at this time of day there’s a ton of activity in the neighborhood. So I wander around in the ninety-degree heat and click away. This is looking down from the CNN [...]

Shout Out Louds (again) & Cool Apparel

July 22, 2005 – 4:29 pm

Two new posts today at LA-ist. I’ve been wanting to post that t-shirt thing forever, but I’ve been so busy I couldn’t get around to it. I’d told Joanna Contreras, the brain behind Red Star Ind., that I’d post about her place, but it took me so long to do so, I ended up expanded [...]

Writer Guidelines

July 19, 2005 – 10:51 am

Writer C.J. Cherryh says that “no rule should be followed off a cliff.” She refers here to the rules of writing and good grammar. But she also mentions this with respect to her own guidelines, some of which she conveys on this page. Good stuff. And a good reminder that though I’ve come a long [...]

Proceed Undaunted

I love it when I get props from a beautiful person. You’re a sweetheart, Stacey!

Sorry Sue

July 18, 2005 – 8:42 am

I’ve been more or less silent around here lately. Sorry about that. I think this cartoon, taken from the pages of New Yorker (March 21, 1994,) sums things up rather nicely: Too many projects. And too many projects necessarily means choosing just one or two to focus on. Either that or a picking up some [...]

Friday

July 15, 2005 – 11:03 am

It’s Friday and it’s a day off and I’m tying up all kinds of loose ends around here. Mostly it’s a day of working from home. I’ve got scripts to read, a script to write, a few posts to compose for LAist (including the one I just submitted about the intersection of Gardner and Sunset [...]

Prophecy

July 12, 2005 – 12:33 pm

Last night I had a prophetic dream. In this dream I was cycling in the Tour de France. It was a hot day. And I learned that the race is not that anywhere as gruelng as the media would like us to believe. I was surprised at how easily I overtook Lance. Especially on the [...]

Rob Dickinson at Hotel Cafe

July 12, 2005 – 10:37 am

I’m going to be missing the Rob Dickinson show at Hotel Cafe tonight. I’ll be stuck working just down the street. But that’s not gonna stop me from posting about it over at LAist.

Comics For Sale

July 11, 2005 – 1:00 pm

The quest for simplification continues. The next thing to go is the ol’ comics collection. There was a time when the idea of ditching the beautiful, clean, glossy issue of Alpha Flight #1 was unthinkable. But times change. I have different interests. I’m working on my own mythologies now. So with the help of craigslist, [...]

Pretty Thing #2

July 10, 2005 – 11:24 pm

You ever fling a compact disc into the void and then have it circle back like a boomerang and smack you upside the skull? I get a lot of music suggestions during the course of the week. Dropping a disc into the player and giving it a listen is a lot like hurling it out [...]

Henry Endorses Jansport

July 10, 2005 – 7:43 pm

Henry is Sean’s cat. Henry is playful. He attacks anything that moves. Also, he attacks anything that doesn’t move. So whether it moves or it doesn’t move, it’s toast.

CNN

July 7, 2005 – 2:24 am

I park my car on the top level of the CNN parking lot when I go to work even though there are scores of lower spaces. The only reason I do this is because when I return to it later, I do so beneath the night sky.

Missing Persons, Duran Duran…

July 7, 2005 – 1:38 am

It seems to me that all of the recent puritanism over the media and family values is destined for failure. The wardrobe malfunction, the recent web-censorship decrees, the complaints about violence in video games–they remind me of the days of the PMRC and its stance against the overt sexuality of “modern music” back in the [...]
