Quick recap: Sunday – Work all day at Amoeba. The day passes swiftly, however, and after I get out at eight, I swing by Rocket to bug Ryan and Sara and pick up the external hard drive I use to back up Boss’s Powerbook. Since I have to get up early to meet with Boss, […]
Marina comments on the picture of copa below… “I’m really flattered to see how cute Copa is but she is my cat! Not Renata’s. She has Cabana!” My bad. In the chaos of the evening, I got confused. They’re both gorgeous, but unfortunately. I don’t have a decent pic of Cabana. So to set the […]
Just wanted to post some pics of last night’s party at Kokekkoko in Japantown last night. This time around it was Ruth’s birthday. In a couple weeks she’s leaving for a year in Spain. Sara wears my sunglasses. I wear Danny’s thick framed glasses. Noah provides his own expression. Sara adjusts her eyewear. I just […]
“I wondered if a memory is something you have, or something you’ve lost.” It’s late night and, as often happens, I’m chatting with Sara on the phone while I noodle around in one script project or another. Tonight we’re talking about Woody Allen, and I explain some of what I think is so great about […]
Some of you may notice that access to my website has been impossible during the past couple of days. Apparently, Hostsave, my internet service provider, has been slammed by a Denial of Service attack. This kind of attack basically devastates the bandwidth capabilities to the victimized server and makes access from the outside next to […]
So yesterday I order the new CD by Jennifer Getz from cdbaby.com. Jennifer Getz is a friend and neighbor of Sara’s, and she’s invited me to her cd release party in a couple weeks. The best part is the shipping confirmation email I get from them today: “Your CD has been gently taken from our […]
I procrastinate. I surf. I stumble across this old installment of “This Modern World” by Tom Tomorrow. I get a huge kick out of it, laugh for a moment, then realize I should be get back to the writing. Sigh…
These past few days are lost to the writing. Two days ago my manager sends me an email mentioning the setup of the Beowulf Project over at Maple Shade. This, he says, is a reason to kick the renovation of the Blood & Mist treatment into high gear. The Mist treatment, as I think I’ve […]
I’m sitting at home, working on Blood & Glass. I’ve got Acts One and Three all figgered out. Act Two is posing some problems. Still, I know who dies in the end, so it’s just a matter of connecting the gaps. Sara calls at 12:30 and says she and Noah are going to catch Fahrenheit […]
I provide a link to Allmusic, but so many people want to check it out, it may not work. Use advisedly.
I spend some time today at allmusic.com, which remains one of my favorite websites. Today they unveiled a substantial overhaul. It’s going to take me a while to get used to the new layout and functions, but so far it’s pretty impressive. The first band I look up on the all-new site is Lush, who […]
The invader site is finally up. Check it out. The grid is far from complete, but you can get an idea of how it’s going to work out. The map isn’t done yet either, but that’ll come along eventually…
“Static. Faint voices. Seven slow, monotonous tones. A pause. Suddenly, you hear music–one of those wind-up songs played by a child’s toy. The melody repeats three times. A pause. Suddenly, you hear a female voice counting off the numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 0 in German. A pause. She repeats […]
This morning I reach the critical point with the blog clutter and lack of functionality. So I spend some time revamping it. It should work on most newer browsers. I can’t vouch for anything pre-Netscape 6.0, and If you’ve got IE 5.0 or earlier, forget about it. I don’t even want to know how it […]
Here’s what I have on my plate: 1) Two treatments: Blood & Mist / Blood & Glass. Theses are on the front burner. People are waiting. 2) Script rewrite: Strange Angels – This has been on the back burner, pending completion of Item 1. 3) Work-related websites: Hollywood Scarefest and Icelanders. The latter is taking […]
