This morning I reach the critical point with the blog clutter and lack of functionality. So I spend some time revamping it. It should work on most newer browsers. I can’t vouch for anything pre-Netscape 6.0, and If you’ve got IE 5.0 or earlier, forget about it. I don’t even want to know how it […]
Here’s what I have on my plate: 1) Two treatments: Blood & Mist / Blood & Glass. Theses are on the front burner. People are waiting. 2) Script rewrite: Strange Angels – This has been on the back burner, pending completion of Item 1. 3) Work-related websites: Hollywood Scarefest and Icelanders. The latter is taking […]

They won’t release the cause of death. Recent reports indicated that he was destitute, living in a shack. I wonder what we get if we do the math? It matters not. I’m watching The Godfather while I clean up my house (Keir and Joy are comin’) At least we have that. Brando Dies

I just got home from my last Thursday at Rocket. Nothing interesting to report there, except that Mark bailed on me tonight to begin a new acting class, so Mike worked instead. Mike’s been working there since I started, but I’ve never actually worked a shift with him. Not a full one, anyway. How weird […]
I’m having problems with my blog structure. For some reason, I’ve got gaps on the upper and lower ends of my main text area. I’d noticed it was happening to the archive pages, but now the main page has the same problem I can’t quite figure out what the problem is. I know that I’m […]

Don’t worry. I won’t be chronicling the entire run of days at Amoeba Music. But these early ones are important. And I know someday I’ll look back and laugh and shake my head at my consternation. Actually, it’s a mellow first real day at Amoeba. Work is fairly simple. The idea is to keep the […]

Wow. Returning to radio after twenty-five years, The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy with (almost) the entire cast reprising their roles!

So today is my first day at Amoeba. It’s actually more of an orientation thing. A cool, knowledgable chap named Mo shows me and another new guy named Jon around the place. That takes almost two hours. No joke. The place is that huge. I mean, I knew they process a lot of material and […]

“A good writer must have more than vin rose in his veins, use more than Chablis for ink.” I just stumbled across this quote and I had nowhere to put it. So here it is.

Meet a guy at Rocket tonight. He’s looking to rent the movie True Believer, which happens to be one of my favorite of those mid to late Eighties star-powered courtroom thrillers. You know, those. He’s watching it, he says, because someone suggested he watch it for the lawyer who’s in it. Lawyer? I wonder. James […]

And on another music note, the cure has its first album since bloodflowers due out next week. If you have some time and a decent audio setup, you can listen to the album in its entirety here.

Man, what happened to Liz Phair? She used to be so cool.

I meet with with Jim and Kristin and Kirk today at three. They’re poobahs of various sorts at Amoeba. Very nice group of people. We stand about in a back room and chat. Since I’d already met with Karen, it’s more of a follow-up meeting, just, I think, so they can see what I look […]

Proving that the world moves in overlapping, intertwined spirals, Elvis Mitchell interviews the creators of Giant Robot magazine today on The Treatment. What a bizarre coincidence.
