Christmas Time in the City

by

This is a dude dressed as Santa who is eating a sandwich while playing pinball on Hollywood Blvd. You can’t really tell, but it’s also raining. I took these on Saturday after we did an improv class at Second City for Paul’s Birthday. It was really fun. You can definitely see why people say improv … Read more

Filler

by

I’m actually going to post a picture, soon as I fine the cord to download my camera’s contents. Until then, a fun fact… I think that I get about 10 hits monthly from people who search for the title “Two Ways of Seeing a River” by Mark Twain which I once referenced it in a … Read more

Immersed in Vietnam

by

Since last weekend I have had the luxury of thinking about only one script for a several consecutive days. It has been great. I may have already mentioned that the script is an adaptation of a Vietnamese novel that I am co-writing with another woman who has actually read the novel (which is in Vietnamese.) … Read more

I think there is some kind of voting process as well, but I don’t vote, I just check in once … Read more

Hiccups

I’ve had them three times today, including right now. The ones I have right now have lasted for over an hour. I’m tired of them, but too tire to anything about them, like trying to stand on my head and drink water, or hold my breath, or scare myself. i’m thankful I don’t get hiccups … Read more

Crochety

by

Went to early morning gym class and stayed the entire hour. Accomplishment! It’s a fine class, with stepping and moving of weights, but the teacher plays the music so loud I want to smash my mini-barbell into the mirror right where her face is reflected. Can I really be the only one who feels this … Read more
