I tried to write something interesting – really I did, but my brain is completely fried.
Also, I’ve probably got cholesterol poisoning from that good old home cooking, so I’m going to go eat some raw veggies and work out for about 12 hours straight.
Hope everyone had a great holiday and I’ll try to be more [...]
By staying up really late last night I managed to cobble together some acceptable gifty type things and now I’m off. I won’t have any internets while I’m gone (although if I think about it I might post something on Twitter via the cell phone), so everyone have a fantastic holiday!
I’ll be back next week.
Every now and then, I just have one of those days.
Like today.
The toilet’s stopped up and the landlord’s out of town, so every time I need to pee I have to hike up the street to the gas station that’s also used by the local, um, working girls who are really guys whenever they need [...]
Sometimes, out of the blue I see something so completely out-of-place that it literally stops me in my tracks.
Like today. I was riding my bike through Hollywood enjoying the sunshine and thinking that the upside of unemployment is that I’m going to avoid catching whatever it is that’s going around this year, when I saw [...]
Although it was cold, I highly recommend visiting France in November – the few tourists there were were French, and although a lot of stuff was closed, what was open didn’t have any lines. We went through the caves at Lascaux and only had about 8 people in the group with us.
We got there before [...]
Equal opportunity holiday decorations at the Grove:
And I’m not sure which one cracks me up more – the chandeliers in boxes or the palm trees wrapped in decorative lights:
Hmmm… Chandeliers win. By a nose.
Part of the problem of being totally unemployed with no work prospects coming down the pipe is inertia – seems that the less I have to do, the less I’m able to do. I sink into a sort of slug-like state where it’s a Herculean effort just to haul myself up off the couch at [...]
Although I’m sure it seems like a great idea to shoot an infomercial in a friend’s 4th floor studio apartment to save money on location fees, I think I can safely speak for everyone on the below-the-line crew when I plead for sanity.
We’ve shot in this building before – pre WW2, MacArthur Park adjacent (drug-dealer [...]
Since I’ve been back, I’ve been dead tired by 8pm (not normal end-of-the-day tired, either. Dead dog can’t stay awake one more second tired) and have been waking up at around 3:30 am. Since I refuse to get out of bed that early on general principles, I’ve been tossing and turning until the morning news [...]
Since I’m currently unemployed between projects, the whole “Saturday/Sunday off ” thing is totally meaningless – every day is Saturday now.
What I’ve been dealing with during my endless string of Saturdays is the suitcase explosion in the living room and the fact that I’m really, really cold.
I don’t mean that I’m colder than I was [...]
