I roll up in bed and lean over the side, feet on the floor. There’s a steamboat in my head. That’s right, a rattling, howling dragon of a steamboat. It’s one of those big, side-wheeled monsters that prowled the Mississippi in the 1800’s. The giant paddle-wheels churn muddy, greasy river water. The decks creak, wood [...]

Work Space

May 23, 2006 – 12:02 pm

Taking a brief break from work here at Argentum, I lean back in my chair and clos my eyes. When I open them again I’m struck by the amount of jumble on my typical desktop. Click the thumbnail for full-sized mayhem.

The Fast Lane

May 22, 2006 – 1:02 pm

I’d been meaning to do this for about a year and a half. Today is Day Eight. Here’s a quick recap:
DAY ONE
I stock up on maple syrup, organic lemons and cayenne pepper. This is all I will be consuming for the next fourteen days. I’d been meaning to tackle the Master Cleanse for some [...]

Weekend

May 11, 2006 – 11:16 am

As is often the case with me, I decide it’d be nice to go on a vacation, then in order to do so, I have to work extra hours and scramble to get shifts covered and run around like a maniac to make sure everything’s tied down, finished up and otherwise handled, so when the [...]

Runyon Redux

April 13, 2006 – 10:40 pm

But instead I’m gonna watch The Dave Chappelle Show, work on the new script and deal with the soreness of the filling [...]

Regrets

April 12, 2006 – 12:22 pm

Speaking of dating…

I regret never calling back Tasha R. Why did I do that? She was smart, she was cute, she was funny. And I still have her list of book recommendations on my bulletin board (The Sun Also Rises, Orlando, Disgrace, The Bluest Eye, Kaffir Boy…) We had a fun date, even though our [...]

Back To Normal

April 5, 2006 – 11:21 pm

This has been a hell of a week. I haven’t posted since I got back to Hollywoodland. This is because I work 56 hours in a five day period. Five days at Amoeba. Three days at Argentum. Things are pretty normal now. Here are some pictures to prove it (since I don’t have the energy [...]

New Mexico Post Script

March 31, 2006 – 4:22 pm

I’m on my way back today folks. So hide the silverware and all that. It’s been the longest week I’ve had in some time. It’s the key to eternal life, I think. Keeping busy. Don’t slow down. Avoid ruts. You’ll live three or four lifetimes.
This is the sky from the driveway of my parents’ home. [...]
