Sara and I were gonna go see a screening of Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind on Wednesday. She stopped over, we chatted for a bit and then hit the road. But by the time we got there, the traffic was thick with movie-goers. The screening was at the WGA Theater. I thought I would […]

I’d like to know more about how this website came about. It’s pretty funny. Black People Love Us!

As usual, my friend Michael Keefe is light years ahead of me on the music scene. At the moment I’m listening to the album “Mount Eerie” by The Microphones. He gave it to me about six months ago and I’m finally getting around to listening to it now. It’s like the musical equivalent of E. […]

My boss handed me a stack of books the other day. He wants a bunch of scans. He’s been doing this a lot lately. I’ve got a decent scanner (when it works) and he’s doing some health research for Herbalife (eek!) so I’ve been scanning lotsa images of cells, macrophages, skeletons and the occasional free […]

Damn it, there wasn’t supposed to be a Rocket Report tonight. I dropped by the store briefly at 5:30 to sign myself out for the night before (I’d forgotten to sign us out.) Ryan never showed up. I called him. He didn’t call back until well after he was supposed to start. He’s still stuck […]
I parked my car on Beverly Blvd tonight at 5:50, noting that the metered space was next to a sign that indicated two hour parking until six. Ten minutes. What are the odds? I thought. So I hurried off to meet Sirry at the Laemmle Fairfax Cinema. We were catchign a screening of a few […]

Mark and I shoved in a tape of Summer School with Mark Harmon on Monday (a night I wasn’t scheduled to work.) While the opening credits rolled, Mark commented on the music, “It sounds like some low-rent, cheap, imitation knock-off of Oingo-Boingo.” And then as soon as he said that, “Music by Danny Elfman” came […]
…is driving me nuts. I’ve been at it for two hours already today. Now you can read my various test posts, but new posts can’t be added. And all the post counters are at zero. Someday, they will work. But clearly not without a struggle.
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 […]
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…
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…
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
