I sincerely want to trade in my car for a Vespa. Unfortunately, I think my car may actually be worth quite a bit less than one in it's current state. My mechanic told me over the phone today to cross my fingers and hope for a grand if I sell it ( Read more... )

It's been almost two days now since I had a cigarette and I don't think I'm coping very well. I continually have the overwhelming urge to set someone on fire and laugh heartily at them.

A scene from my new film The Dark House Experiment. DVD copies are now available, and usually free unless you live very far away or I think you're exceptionally unpleasent. I apologize for the poor visual quality of the clip.

I sometimes wonder what would happen if my waking self could have a conversation with my subconcious dreaming self. I imagine it would go something like this:

Waking self: So, how are things?
Dream self: Honeybee. April trapdoor. Rose-hips in Bar Harbor. The YMCA, circa 1994.

Santa Clause came early last night. He smashed my car window and stole my brand new speakers.

Life is good! Life is grand!

This morning I said to myself, "I'm going to get up early and burn a couple of CDs to listen to in my car while I work."

But, indeed, I could not have been more wrong.

Time to go clean the glass shards out of my car...

I’ve been hearing the wind from inside my little orange rooms all night, blowing the bushes against my house here in the darkness of my neighborhood, pinning the tops of the palm trees gently, but forcefully to one side. I imagine that they look like a lady blowing one side of her head with a hair-dryer. She will start on the opposite side ( Read more... )
