As I was leaving the dentist’s office Thursday, after getting a lecture on using too much force while brusing my teeth and damaging my gums (statistically speaking, I’m a bit less than halfway through my lifespan so my teeth have got to last another 40 years at the very least. Who knew one could actually [...]
The LA Times has been keeping a webcam trained on two goldfish living in a tank full of water drawn from the LA River – it’s been sort of an unofficial experiment about the water quality of a really nasty looking cement-lined urban river.
One of the fish (named “Little Antonio” after our not so beloved [...]
This weekend was Cinegear – the annual grip, electric and camera cluster fuck. This year’s show was at the Veteran’s Administration in Westwood, so at least it wasn’t boiling hot like it would have been had we been in the Valley.
There weren’t as many vendors, and the ones that were there didn’t have last year’s [...]
Lurking somewhere in the forgotten depths of LA.com is a list of hotels which allow non-guests to use the pool areas. When I read this, I was stoked – there’s a pool where I work out, but it’s a typical gym pool (and not too clean in the summer when it’s heavily used), so no [...]
LA is a famously multi-cultural city (although it is possible to ignore if one keeps to certain parts of the Westside), but the “melting pot-ness” becomes even more noticeable during the World Cup.
It seems everyone is soccer-crazed in the City of Angels.
The Korean lady at the laundromat roots for whichever team has the best legs [...]
Saturday night’s Subject Line Here was great – an incredibly talented group of folks reading some awesome material, and I finally got to meet the people whose lives I’ve been reading about for ages. As I left, I had the feeling that I’d spent the evening with some old friends, which in a way [...]
Today, I had a mandatory interview with the unemployment people. I had to demonstrate that I was looking for work, since they’re trying to weed out… well, I don’t know who exactly they’re trying to weed out, but I had to go to a work center in Hollywood to have an interview about my ‘ongoing [...]
Last night, I managed to swing an invite to the Magic Castle. It was very last minute and I went with a group that I only know through email, but who turned out to be a great bunch of folks.
The Magic Castle is a private club just for magicians, and you have to know a [...]
As far as my job’s concerned, actors are just meat. My work’s pretty much the same no matter who’s in front of the camera, hence my very rarely mentioning them on the blog, but I’ve been asked the ‘which actors are cool’ question more than almost any other. So, here you go:
Most of them fall [...]
Part of living in a large city is seeing trash everywhere, and generally I don’t notice it at all, but for some reason there was a very noticeable collective couch throwing-out in Hollywood over the weekend.
In the space of two hours, I saw all these couches:
This is only five of them. In an area of [...]
