The white rabbit takes one look at me and sits down for a spot of tea. That spot of virus/adware infection threw me a little off schedule. Wandering minstrel, intinerant falconer and spinner of white truths, Michael Keefe, gave me these reviews for publishing a good two weeks ago. And I’m finally getting the chance […]

Hey, I’m blogging from work. I’m on a quick break (fifteen minutes) and I already squandered most of it on a tuns fish sandwich. Time’s running out, so I’m under a little stress here to think of something interesting to say. Sure I could write about the terrible situation in Afghanistan. Or the interesting situation […]

Tomdog posts photos of some incredible artwork over at Buzznet. The artist is Cai Guo-Qiang. The sculptures are made of paper mache, plaster, resin, fiberglass and painted hide. And man, are they effective. More here and here.

It’s a long evening of repairing my computer, but it seems to back up and running again. It’s still sluggish, but I can live with that for now. I want to post about a few things, but it’s late now, and I have two long days ahead of me. Tuesday I’m working a double shift […]

I get out of work at 11:15, walk with Jackie and Maryann to the new Amoeba parking quarters on Sunset, take Jackie home and then hop on the 101. I’m headed for Carbon, where Ned Learner (co-Amoebite, Nick Pinto, really) is spinning his usual thread of Hip-Hop and scratch heavy dance vibes tonight. It’s about […]

Fires sweep Los Angeles. We lose 24,000 acres of greenery. We lose one house. We lose no people. But we forget about the animals. Imagine how many of them we lost. My friend tells me a story, relayed to her by her father, who lives in Chatsworth. He’s watching the fire from his house. He […]

I haven’t posted in a while. That’s because the other day I download a virus and install it on my computer. The act isn’t quite as deliberate as that, but it might as well have been. It’s entirely my fault. I ignore all the safety signs, step around the blockades and head down that road […]

What does an internationally reknowned artist, singer and musician do the day after selling out the Hollywood Bowl? Why, shop the Amoeba Mezzanine, of course. Brendan Perry (the one in yesterday’s post who looks nothing like my friend Becca) drops by my work and spends a huge amount of time browsing the Criterion DVD section. […]

I slip out of work tonight a bit early and make my way up to the Hollywood Bowl with Llyr to catch Dead Can Dance. We sit down, eat sandwiches, open a bottle of wine and chat through Nouvelle Vague’s breathy, undulating performance. There are three people behind us. One comes from Denver, one from […]

Just wanted to post this cool comment by Daniel Hooper, who enlightens me in a comment about the record chain, Licorice Pizza. Back in the mid-Eighties, when I was listening to KWXL Albuquerque (“KWXL Albuquerqu IS 94 Rock!”)and totally missing everything that was hip and modern about the world of Music, there was this store […]

Recently, I have an epiphany. Raisins, I realize, are not my favorite food. Hot upon the heels of that one I have another: I have too many things. And I’m acting on that epiphany. I drag five garbage bags full of clothing out of my closet. I drop them at the donation site on Santa […]

To be fair. I post twice about cats and give dogs the shaft. So here, for your edification… Dogs Dressed As Bees.

Okay, the River Tam notebook gets old quick, doesn’t it? It’s been fun reading the Firefly message boards, though–all the debate as to whether it’s fake or real or viral or not. I suppose I should have expected the doubters. Anyway, before the blood-spatters and the funny cats I posted about how the new(ish) cd […]

Okay, okay, last post on this whole River Tam Notebook thing, I promise. But after all that, I found yet another page in the notebook. And if this isn’t “Whedonesque” I don’t know what is. I’ll bet anything this was written for Summer’s benefit between takes.

I’m not a member of Whedonesque, the Joss Whedon website (can’t cram any more folks into the stateroom) but I kinda want to address a few of the questions raised on the comments to the post about the River Tam notebook. First off, I’ve been corrected a number of times about Joss’s being on television […]
