I'm back from L.A., ladies and gents.  I can't say one way or another about the interview. I think I did well, but life's funny and I'm not known for being the most optimistic person on Earth.

But the upside to my trip included seeing my friends, visiting my old hangouts, and just general awesomeness! The weather was kind, the food was very L.A., ( Read more... )

Okay, I don't care how intellectual you think you are, how sophisticated you claim to be, if this movie trailer doesn't make you seriously giddy, you and I can never truly be friends.

It takes crack!fic and combines it with every '80s action movie cliche since 48 Hours.  It's decadent in every way.  And I, for one, will be in line opening night to ( Read more... )

I'm frustrated, angry and depressed right now, but not to worry, I'm not going to go into why.  I'm tired and I have to go to work tonight.  So I'm simply going to lay down and take a nap and hope it passes.

But first, I'm going to lick my wounds and listen to some beautiful blue-eyed soul a la Stereofox.  I didn't attend this gig at the Independent ( Read more... )

That is all.

Damn!  I watched Jeff Goldblum on Conan O'Brien last night.  He was on there to pimp his new film, Adam Resurrected.  Unfortunately, it's only being shown in L.A. and NYC.  I really want to see it, but I know virtually nothing about NYC yet.  Crap.  I miss L.A. already.

Also, as I was finishing up a little last minute business during my final day in ( Read more... )

What's In It For Me ( Read more... )

I’ve been giving this whole writers’ strike issue some more thought lately. And no, it’s not because I’m currently going through a completely harmless, non-stalker-like, fan-related infatuation with Steven Weber. (NB: Weber has a fairly interesting sociopolitical blog over at the Huffington Post. He’s written some engaging entries about his ( Read more... )

I may be the lone voice of semi-apathy here, but honestly, I’m not that wrecked about the WGA strike.  I guess I support them in that I think they deserve to make decent wages off a product they helped create that is now earning bazillions for studios on DVD releases.  Seems only fair, IMO.

I’ll be the first to acknowledge that I haven't been ( Read more... )

I swear I don't spend all my time looking for this stuff, honest. But I stumbled across this tidbit on Defamer.com today:
