Went to a Luc Besson retrospective last night and ended up trolling around Santa Monica until 4 in the morning thanks to an unexpected (at least to me) daylight savings shift. At least now the clock in my car will read the right time. It's only correct for half of the year, 'cause I'm just too lazy to change it. Santa Monica was frighteningly ( Read more... )

Feeling very good about the outline I just wrote. After spending three days pacing around my computer in agony, it all flowed out in a 20 minute typing spree. It's a good episode - I'd watch it ( Read more... )

Happy Oscar Day.....

Do I care about any of the nominees? Not really, although it would be nice to see Little Miss Sunshine triumph over the other 4 traditionally "good" (they're good, really. ask the ten people who saw them) and "respectable" films.

I seriously need to take some estrogen pills ( Read more... )

When I'm bored and alone on a Friday night, which I often am because going out in Los Angeles requires money I don't have, I sometimes go on Craigslist and peruse the "missed connections" page. I don't know why those postings make me as happy as they do - maybe it's the malicious happiness of laughing at people more desperate than myself. But there ( Read more... )

So I gave up on Sword of Shannara for the time being and ended up reading Pet Sematary in a single 7-hour stretch. Little zombie babies! What a fantastic way to spend a Thursday.

I discovered that NO used bookstores carry George Martin novels. I guess no one wants to give them up. But my search of their moldy bookshelves did unearth a copy of The ( Read more... )
