Usually, when I’m not working it’s a bad thing and I practically glue the phone to the side of my head making calls to scrounge up something – anything.
Sometimes, though, not working isn’t really all that bad.
It’s gotten hot here in Los Angeles – not only is it hot, but the monsoonal rains over the [...]
After working all weekend (on a music video – which means we got run half to death due to lack of planning on production’s part), Monday was doctor day for both me and the car.
The car had to go in because, of course, as soon as it got really hot, the air conditioner stopped working. [...]
I’m having to stay up a bit later than usual due to my having a later call time tomorrow (which means, of course, that we won’t wrap until later – like early Saturday morning), so here’s a photo from Wednesday’s job:
As I’d predicted, it was hotter than hell. At lunch, when I stepped out of [...]
According to the weather-bots on the TV news, today has been the hottest day yet this summer.
It certainly felt that way to me.

Me: “Sure!”
I then reschedule my physical therapy for Tuesday and Thursday.
(Phone rings) “Hello?”
Best Boy: “Okay, you’re not working Wednesday and [...]
As much as I wanted to title this post “It’s not a too-mah”, that bump on my femur, is, in fact, a tumor.
The good news is that it’s a benign tumor, so they’re going to MRI it again in four months and if it’s not gotten any bigger, it gets to take a trip [...]
So thanks to the wonderful and faboo commenters, I’ve got a cheaper hairdryer on order, so the expensive mineral-enhanced dryer’s going to go back.
Although, I gotta say, whatever magic thingy is in there actually does make my hair less frizzy – my problem is that as I go grey (and I started getting grey hair [...]
