Rocket Report

No sign of the stalker tonight. That’s a good thing. More on him later, but having him around is sort of intense. There are a couple people who argue that he’s capable of getting violent. I’m not one of them. But as Mark so stridently said, “Dahmer didn’t fit the profile…” Philippe Mora spoke at […]

Comments Working…sort of

Now we can view the comments (and my NUMEROUS test messages.) However, the comments counter on each post still registers ZERO at all times. I’ll work on that next. For now, it’s off to Rocket…

comments

I’m in the process of working out the addition of COMMENTS to this page. As of right now, the comments link alerts me to any new comments, but they remain unviewable by others. I’ll keep on it. Eventually it’ll work…

Strange Forest

It’s an incredibly mellow day. I’m having a difficult time with the concentration thing. In fact, I think I’ve given up on concentrating altogether. I was working on Strange Angels, but realized that I was having difficulty seeing the forest for the trees. Or looking at the whole forest, but forgettng the trees. Or I […]

Things Not To Do

On Sunday I walked from my apartment on Martel Ave, up Runyon Canyon to Mulholland Drive, all the way along that road to Laurel Canyon and then down. I’m guessing that was about five or six miles, and yes, it was far longer than I’d anticipated. I do that sort of thing all the time […]

Rocket Report: The Prince of Makeup

Camden Toy came in to Rocket on Sunday evening. I had already known him as a customer (he’s got kind of a memorable name) but it wasn’t until showing Mark the episode “Hush” from Season Four of Buffy that I spotted his name in the credits. He played one of the “Gentleman” in that famously […]

Rocket Report – Oscar Night

“Did you guys miss the Oscars?” asked a man at 9:30, as the first post-show customers began to trickle in to the video store. “No, we didn’t,” I said. “Oh, you guys got to watch them in here?” “No,” I said. He looked at me funny. I clarified, “We didn’t miss ’em.” He got it, […]

HTML goodness…

I got this page back into shape again after its brief period of looking like Jo-Jo the Monkey Blog. And the archives finally work as well. Everybody’s looking good. Now to get those links into shape…

SFX: Elliott Smith and Charlatans UK

Just wanted to remind everyone how amazing the Either/Or album is by Mr. Smith. And I just remembered why Between 10th and 11th album by The Charlatans UK is so amazing. Simply this: Track 10 – (No One) Not Even the Rain.

Minutiae

Two things were sitting on my doorstep when I got home tonight. One was the cd player I bought from this dude on eBay. It’s an exact duplicate of my Panasonic metal disc player–a great machine usually. Well, it’s not an exact duplicate. Mine actually works. This one just gasps a little and then declares […]

Rocket Report

It was the Sara, Will and Ryan show tonight. Business was brisk, but when you’re as cool as we are, no one really notices. We were all in a good mood, we all had energy (Sara and I came in to work with coffee) and we all had lame jokes to tell. As I said […]

Manager alive and well…

Met with Edgar today. Turns out that Yahoo mail can get pretty clogged, so he didn’t get any of my increasingly desperate emails. It was fun catching up, although were sitting outside. I mean, that was nice, but by the time five-fifteen rolled around, hypothermia had settled in. I trotted out some of my recent […]

Construction Issues

Clearly I’m having some problems with text overflow. I’m not able to work on it today. I’m working on an overview of the various writing projects on my slate for a meeting later today. No way I can let myself be distracted by time-swallowing HTML. I’ll fix it later.

Exotic Mess

Just for the heck of it. you ever wonder about that Countach that’s passing you? What would happen if it hit a tree? Wrecked Exotics
