No clever little stories to tell today, but I thought I’d catch up on a few minor things. I’m going back in to Amoeba today for a follow-up interview. Today I meet the general manager and the two cats who run the mezzanine, where I’ll work if I get the job. The mezzanine, for those […]

Okay, a few hours later, commenting is finally in place. Try it out. See if it works. I’ll tweak it a bit over time, and if I decide to buy into the advanced Haloscan user elite, I’ll be able to do even more with them. Um… Okay, bye.

After realizing that in order to comment (and not comment anonymously) you have to register with Blogger, I’ve ditched their comment code and picked up a solution by Haloscan. I’ve installed it, and it seems to work rather well, but as of this writing, I’ve only got it halfway posted to the site. Blogger has […]

Today’s broadcast is Numero One Thousand for Nic Harcourt of KCRW’s Morning Becomes Eclectic. I’ve been listening to the show since Summer 1999, when I spent a good deal of time at home in Camarillo with the parents (back when I was homeless in anticipation of an Australia/New Zealand trip.) I would listen to the […]

Rather than go into great detail about why it’s been so long since I’ve written in here, I’ll just launch into a story about Sirry and a squirrel. Sirry’s been sick for the past couple days. On Friday I go in to Rocket to work the first couple hours of Sara’s shift. When I get […]

I wake up this morning and shuffle into the kitchen to heat some water for greet tea. Glancing back I realize that I just shuffled through a column of ants. Several of them twitch and stagger about on the floor, undoubtedly crying, “Medic!” I follow the trail to see what morsel of food I left […]

Okay, this is to be yet another mundane post, but I just wanted to point out that I’ve switched to Blogger’s new system of commenting. I was using an independently created php script to handle comments, but this is better. It creates a new page for each post that exists separately from the blog itself. […]

I doubt if anyone’s noticed, but there’s an invader on this page, just next to the Hollywoodland logo. Clicking it will take you to counterinvasion.com. So, what is this counterinvasion, you ask? Anyone who’s been following this blog knows that Sara and I have been sharing an obsession with the work of an artist who […]

The new mix is finally up. I recorded it back on Memorial Day, but I hadn’t gotten around to posting the file. It’s a solid collection of five excellent tracks. I wanted to revisit some of the stuff I was spinning three years ago, back when I first got my turntables. In fact, I wasn’t […]

So my auction has ended. The final price? $2.25! Now that’s a deal. At this rate I’ll be able to afford having my car shellacked in about…um, lessee… twelve years. Guess I gotta improve my marketing skills. Either that or shoot for a Quantity sort of thing.
In spite of all the silliness and activity in which I find myself of late, I write feverishly. As reported earlier, Blood & Dust has been in the hands of several, and has received glowing reviews from everyone (except those cats at Scott Free, who gave it a hard pass–liked the writing, but I guess […]
I don’t get much sleep last night. At 11:30 or so Ryan comes over. We’ve been plowing through the third season of Angel together and we’re down to the last episode. I’ve seen it all before. It’s the first time for him. Simultaneously, We’ve been savoring the first (and only) season of Firefly. We’re down […]

I wake up this morning at nine after a solid night of sleep. I had dreamed that Boss gave me a check today. In fact, in the dream, he gives me three checks. One is for $750. That’s a typical paycheck from Boss. The next two are for about $650,000 each. I dunno why he’s […]
So I talk with Nena Eskridge today. She’s one of the two amazing Philly-based producers who optioned the delicate skin (the script that’s kind-of sort-of about the Black Dahlia) back in August. As always, the conversation is long and leisurely. She’s a warm and talkative person, and our meanderings tend to run the gamut from […]

In an effort to bolster my income, I’ve decided to sell off some of the movie stills and posters I’ve got stashed in various boxes. This ismy first foray back into the Ebay seller’s market since I unloaded my laser/DVD player three years ago. For starters, I’m getting rid of my Miller’s Crossing presskit. The […]
