I download invoice software from the Intarweb today and create a fun bill to send Boss. Here’s the email I put together for him. I hope the tone isn’t too harsh… Hi, Boss! I sent you an elaborate email yesterday in the hopes that we could establish contact. I’m frankly surprised I haven’t heard back […]

It’s a pretty safe bet that Salvador Dali would have loved this. Zoom Quilt.

I try to wake up at eight. I really do. But though I don’t remember having THAT many margaritas last night, my body begs to differ. And when it comes to begging, my body can be awfully persuasive. So I mess around a little on the Web, send off that email to Boss, whom I […]

It’s after two in the morning. Recap: the Amoeba Holiday Party is amazing. Then I drive Candace by the house on Franklin that looks like a Mayan temple where Steve Hodel claims Beth Short spent happy fun times with his father. Hungry, we then hit Cafe 101. I think I steal a spoon by accident. […]

I get back from SLO last night at eleven. Martel is completely full. Nowhere to park. Nowhere, that is, aside from the single space way the hell up near Sunset. I’m driving Ryan’s car, which he let me borrow for the drive north while he’s away in Texas. The next morning I go to retrieve […]

In case anyone’s been wondering, boingboing has picked up on the Hopkin meme. They provide a link to this story, in which a curious journalist explores the source of the msyterious note. It turns out that the author of the note is a sixteen year old boy with autism who has, alas, forgotten all about […]

P.S. I will find my frog. Click here to marvel at the full scope of this meme. (click each successive picture to view the series…)

A couple decades ago, my friend’s dad derided our obsession with Dungeons & Dragons, referring to the game as “garbage.” We didn’t mind. We were used to that sort of reaction. In retrospect, the alarm and consternation the game caused among parents is laughable. Some found the subject matter (a pagan world of monsters and […]

I’ve aquired the domain hollywoodland.la to use for this site. It’s merely redirecting to this url at the moment, but within the next month or two I hope to move everything to that domain. It’s easier to remember than the current URL. This blog was supposed to supplement the greter Sixsquare website, but it’s sorta […]

I know you’re gonna buy it. Don’t pretend you won’t. But until you do, you can stream the new U2 album here. Late Update: Oh yeah. It won’t play on Macs. Sorry about that, Ginny…

I have work to do. I have a meeting with and exec on Thursday and I have to talk to a guy about web design later this morning. But there’s always time for a movie about Dubya. Man, this is funny. Click here.

My Berkeley friend, Dayle, comes down to attend a conference this weekend. It’s Saturday night at Amoeba, one of the flat-out busiest Saturdays I’ve had the pleasure to work yet, with scores of people crowding the mezzanine, flipping through action, through classics, through cult, through television, pulling product, leaving it in piles around the store, […]

I’ve got a mug of some of that rich, piñon coffee beside me. I’ve got some cool music hissing from the speakers and I’ve got the final stages of the Strange Angels rewrite on this dark platter on my desk. And I’ve been scarce for that reason. If it comes down to a choice between […]

Heavy writing time. I had yesterday off, which is unusual for me. I’ve been working every Tuesday for months and months. I spent it by my lonesome, working hard on the script, drinking a tea made from maple syrup, lemon and cayenne pepper, and in the evening, watching my DVD of Hitchcock’s Rebecca for the […]

I’ve relapsed a bit into illness. I don’t think I’m gonna go through what’s hitting Sara, where she picked up a cold, deflected it, and then had it swing back around and gather momentum and flatten her like a locomotive. But I did have to cancel a date with a very attractive woman tonight because […]
