Sorry it's been so long since my last post. I've been going out a lot, you know, hitting the big parties, networking. Being up all night, five or six nights a week, it's hard not to spread yourself too thin. This city, it'll eat you alive if you're not careful. I was talking with my agent, she says maybe I ought to do some smaller-time work, drop out of the scene for a while, because I've been burning the candle at both ends for too long now and I've done enough large-scale features to afford a break. Contrary to what you might think, though, I'm not miserable; there's a lot to enjoy about being out there. Cillian Murphy gave me his phone number.

I finally made it up to Bellingham the other week, and, well, yeah, there was in fact a city there, and it had a nice Fred Meyer, I guess, and, uh, yeah. Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed the trip and I hung out with some truly hip people, but I don't get what the fuss is about when it comes to that city. I experienced no awe upon arrival. I have to concede that they did do a pretty good Boca burger at The Horseshoe, although I was really fucking hungry, so I may be making an inaccurate claim there. Travis Morrison was discussed at length on the drive home. Apparently Josie and The Pussycats was watched somewhere in there, but I fear I missed it while spacing out at The Horseshoe. I've seen it before, though.

There was a time, some years ago now, when I ate quite a lot of tunafish. It all began one night when I had tuna, you know, with mayonnaise, on crackers, while I watched Pink Floyd's The Wall. And I quite liked The Wall and I quite liked the tunafish. And that was that, for a while, and then on another night I did it again. And then I found myself eating more and more tuna, with and without The Wall. And then eventually, I realized that I had gone outside the wall and entered a world of only tunafish. Anyway, one night I realized that tunafish was totally awful and I had to stop. But just the other night, I had some again. And it was delicious.

Something like a week ago I finished re-reading the Hitchhiker's Guide trilogy (which is five books long). It's still awesome. It's such a weird series, though, so full of those crashingly impossible impossibilities, that I'd forgotten its ultimate message is basically that it'll catch up with you in the end.
