Last Summer I saw Leonard Cohen in concert here in Boston. He began his set with "Dance Me to the End of Love", which is one of my very favorite of his songs. As in, it is the song I would want for my first dance at my wedding. It couldn't have been a better beginning to an amazing show.
Recently I stumbled upon a video for it on YouTube. It's a ( Read more... ) -
Livejournal Entry the Thirty-First: A Carefully Worded Response
I received a forwarded email from a family member recently. You know the kind, multiple nested preambles like "OMG this is so true!!!!!" etc., where, if you're lucky, the font isn't purple 22-point comic sans.
Anyway, I often get clusters of these forwards with the occasional raging Anti-Obama message thrown in (e.g. the Anti-Obama T-shirts: my ( Read more... ) -
Livejournal Entry the Twenty-Ninth: PiCon in 2 weeks
Anyone else going? It'll be my first non-Arisia con in a few years. I'm hoping to have a new set of stilts ready, as well as an Electromechanical Hand of Doom. It's always of Doom. -
LiveJournal Entry: The Twenty-Eighth
Just a quick note:
INFINITELY excited and relieved at last night's outcome, and SO glad there was no question about the results (no replay of the 2000 and 2004 waiting games). I didn't want to spend another election night with my stomach doing cartwheels, perpetually a moment away from dry-heaving.

For some reason a movie quote from the 80's popped into my head today.
I haven't seen this movie in years, though it is one of my favorites. The quote is so wonderful; I loved it then, I love it now. It only really makes sense wrt the scene it takes place in, but just remembering the words delivers the whole package of context - mood, inflection ( Read more... ) -
LiveJournal Entry: The Twentieth
An excerpt from my script. I give it to you "as is", sophomoric warts and all. Caveat Reador.
JAKE (V.O.)

But sometimes, an entire chapter, hell an entire ACT of your life can be traced back to a single solitary event. Something so ( Read more... ) -

ScriptFrenzy Update:
I am wayyyy behind, but I had a decent writing session last night and cranked out 4 pages, so I'm up to 6 now. 6 our of 100, but I'm finally getting the hang of putting-words-down as opposed to fussing and obsessing over usage etc, the way I normally do when I write. At some point I'll put up a sample behind a cut. For now ( Read more... ) -
LiveJournal Entry: The Seventeenth
Sick. *again*.
So much happening in the last month. But I think I'll just sum it all up with the song I currently have stuck in my head:

Is this not the funkiest thing you've seen in a while? I can't get enough. I found my new role model.
I recently bought two more Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds albums ( Read more... ) -

How about that, my technical opinion matters:
