Sirry called me at about one, while I banged my head against my keyboard with fruitless abandon. She’s sick and asked if I could come in early so she could go home. dragged myself in to Rocket at about three-thirty. I didn’t leave until after midnight. Jeff was happy to announce that Sarah Thompson had […]

It’s almost been three weeks since I’ve heard from my new literary manager, this after two emails that specifically asked him to drop me a line. Three weeks ago I met with Mike Eitelman of Dark Trick Pictures. Everything seemed to be going smoothly. There was interest in Blood & Dust and more importantly, my […]

Suddenly, I’m very afraid of my Sony 52x Cd Burner… PowerLabs High Speed Exploding CDs!

Arrived at work today to find Jeff and Ran in a state of giddiness. John Cleese had just dropped in to buy some DVDs. Jeff was a little annoyed when I told him that since I used to live in Santa Barbara, I used to see him all the time. Ran merely shuffled around saying, […]

I found this in a box this afternoon. I had no idea it was there. I don’t know if we were autographing, comparing signatures, studying scriptography or just messing around, but it’s an interesting little time capsule item. I’m actually still in touch with a couple of these people. Movies Twin, 1985

Mapquest aerial views gone? The reason Mapquest no longer carries satellite images?

I want a phone. Not just any phone. A very specific kid of phone. and I certainly don’t need this phone. I merely want it. Luckily, it hasn’t been invented (as far as I know) so I needn’t worry about spending money I don’t have to. It’s an old fashioned phone. It looks like this: […]

I figured it out. I just got my new cell phone. In search of the perfect mnemonic, I sat down and inspected my phone number. What kind of cool phrase might I assemble out of these letters and numbers? After a half hour of wrangling, I came up with exactly nothing. That is, nothing sensible, […]

This morning I got in my car, wheeled onto the 110 North and headed for Hollywood. On the way I listened to Ira Glass and the latest installment of This American Life. Today, he culled his entire show from the classified pages of the Chicago Sun-Times. One of the segments focused on a man whose […]

First new post in a while. I dragged my feet on the blog so I could work on the parent website a little bit. Plus the impending move forces my attention elsewhere for the time being. This blog now seems to work in Netscape. There were some configuration errors. I chiseled into the code for […]

More from the CPE Journal, just to fill up space. I’ve been busy writing again. Characters are begining to take shape. IN a week or so, they’ll be able to stand up on shaky legs and begin to move about on their own, presumably in search of a story… :: CPE Journal Part 6 :: […]

This is interesting. The boy pictured above is enjoying the new Nimbus 2000. It’s fashioned after the model seen in the filmed version of Harry Potter and the Sorceror’s Stone… Okay, so he seems to be enjoying it, which is fine. But who approved that picture? And what is the shopping parent supposed to think […]

Experiencing the end of the week exhaustion/exhilaration. Among the new movies arriving today (for Tuesday’s release date) are The Scorpion King, Nine Queens, Brotherhood of the Wolf and one of the greatest movies ever, The Thin Man. William Powell and Myrna Loy strike the perfect balance between comedy and mystery in that one. And it’s […]

Too busy to enter a proper notice today. It’s Tuesday. New Release Day. so I’ve got to scurry off to work and make sure the kiddies can get their hands on Murder By Numbers when we open our doors. in the meantime, here’s some more from the famous CPE Journal. :: CPE Journal Part 4 […]

Last night’s movie: 1 Giant Leap. I’m a sucker for the fusion of music and image, because often out of that synergy arises a powerful idea. It’s inspiration. It’s visual and auditory alchemy. And it can be a hell of a good time. I’ve championed films like Godfrey Reggio’s Koyaanisqatsi and Powaqqatsi, and Ron Fricke’s […]
