...sometimes when you haven't been in contact with a friend for awhile, and then you are, and it's kind of awkward at first... and then all of a sudden something is said and there's a smile, felt if not seen, and it clicks the two of you back together again, almost to the place you were before, but with a little something extra, a tiny earmark of ( Read more... )

I just want to publically proclaim that Eliza Dushku is a marvellously spectacular, wonderously kind person, and I feel lucky to have her as a friend. I wandered online late at night only because I was so sick of my own company but didn't feel like going out, and there she was, as she so often is, and cheerfully (but not in that gross sickeningly ( Read more... )

This is mostly a "Holy fuck, I haven't updated for three weeks! Really, I'm alive, really!!" post. I'd been working in New York, not socializing much. Got back to LA this past weekend and went to the Manson concert Sunday night and met more great people. Being around those guys is always something special. I'm leaving for Akron on Thursday to spend ( Read more... )

In my dream I was sitting on some rocks of a large tidal flat, kind of like the ones in La Jolla. That's pronounced La Hoya for you non-Californians. I didn't know till after I moved to LA, even though I knew the correct pronounciation of San Jose.

I've been way too asocial the past week or so, and it's starting to get to me. I had to go to LA for a big Nintendo launch party for a new game system. I played my role and spent most of the time trying to pick up on women with a Sims kind of game. It's not that kind of "social" I've been missing, though. I miss people I can really talk to, people ( Read more... )

Some of my favourite people are those who keep me thinking about things long after a conversation's over. Recently I had coffee -- Tanzanian Peaberry, a good strong French roast, because he wanted to be awake -- with a friend. I ordered a couple of pastries, as I usually do when I'm in a place like that which specialises in them. When we left the ( Read more... )

My mood was lifted considerably this evening thanks to a few friends, including one new one. No songs were played on repeat this evening.

The Astronaut's Wife is a good, quirky movie with some cool direction & cinematography, a pretty hot sex scene, only one ultrablatant use of a character's unbelievable stupidity to increase suspense, and at ( Read more... )

You know how sometimes you see some guy in the park or on the beach or at a bus stop and he's got his walkman, eyes closed and dancing, maybe singing aloud, maybe just mouthing words, oblivious to the rest of the world, and if he's not singing loud enough for you to hear, you wonder what he's listening to ( Read more... )
