They won’t release the cause of death. Recent reports indicated that he was destitute, living in a shack. I wonder what we get if we do the math? It matters not. I’m watching The Godfather while I clean up my house (Keir and Joy are comin’) At least we have that. Brando Dies

I just got home from my last Thursday at Rocket. Nothing interesting to report there, except that Mark bailed on me tonight to begin a new acting class, so Mike worked instead. Mike’s been working there since I started, but I’ve never actually worked a shift with him. Not a full one, anyway. How weird […]

template probs

July 1, 2004 – 5:36 pm

I’m having problems with my blog structure. For some reason, I’ve got gaps on the upper and lower ends of my main text area. I’d noticed it was happening to the archive pages, but now the main page has the same problem I can’t quite figure out what the problem is. I know that I’m […]

amoeba – day two

July 1, 2004 – 12:59 am

Don’t worry. I won’t be chronicling the entire run of days at Amoeba Music. But these early ones are important. And I know someday I’ll look back and laugh and shake my head at my consternation. Actually, it’s a mellow first real day at Amoeba. Work is fairly simple. The idea is to keep the […]

Wow. Returning to radio after twenty-five years, The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy with (almost) the entire cast reprising their roles!

amoeba – day one

June 28, 2004 – 6:59 pm

So today is my first day at Amoeba. It’s actually more of an orientation thing. A cool, knowledgable chap named Mo shows me and another new guy named Jon around the place. That takes almost two hours. No joke. The place is that huge. I mean, I knew they process a lot of material and […]

“A good writer must have more than vin rose in his veins, use more than Chablis for ink.” I just stumbled across this quote and I had nowhere to put it. So here it is.

Meet a guy at Rocket tonight. He’s looking to rent the movie True Believer, which happens to be one of my favorite of those mid to late Eighties star-powered courtroom thrillers. You know, those. He’s watching it, he says, because someone suggested he watch it for the lawyer who’s in it. Lawyer? I wonder. James […]

amoeba report

June 23, 2004 – 5:27 pm

I meet with with Jim and Kristin and Kirk today at three. They’re poobahs of various sorts at Amoeba. Very nice group of people. We stand about in a back room and chat. Since I’d already met with Karen, it’s more of a follow-up meeting, just, I think, so they can see what I look […]

Proving that the world moves in overlapping, intertwined spirals, Elvis Mitchell interviews the creators of Giant Robot magazine today on The Treatment. What a bizarre coincidence.

news roundup

June 23, 2004 – 11:42 am

No clever little stories to tell today, but I thought I’d catch up on a few minor things. I’m going back in to Amoeba today for a follow-up interview. Today I meet the general manager and the two cats who run the mezzanine, where I’ll work if I get the job. The mezzanine, for those […]

at last

June 22, 2004 – 2:19 pm

Okay, a few hours later, commenting is finally in place. Try it out. See if it works. I’ll tweak it a bit over time, and if I decide to buy into the advanced Haloscan user elite, I’ll be able to do even more with them. Um… Okay, bye.
