Alrighty - the fireplace at the coffeeshop is on! I hope that when I get a condo I can either have one with a fireplace or get one of those corner units that uses a gas tank and doesn’t put off noxious fumes. I’ll always remember when we were kids and we had one of [...]
It is morning. I couldn’t sleep so I got up at 4:30 and went to Walgreens and got some eggs and then had some scrambled eggs and some otameal. Surfed and ate until 6 and then came here to the coffeeshop across the street to do some early morning writing. I have enjoyed only lifting [...]
Scott emailed in with two essays:
Training Your White Boy in Ten Easy Lessons
1. HYGIENE. Everyone knows that body odor is the curse of the white man.
On general principle, you should refuse sex with your White Boy at least once
a week on the grounds that he smells. You will need to [...]
Ron and I have been doing remarkably well lately - compared to the rough spot we were on a few weeks ago. I chalk it up to an upturn in both of our career possibilities. He’s supposedly going back to work in September. I say supposedly because they really jerk the flight attendants around with [...]
I was trying to entreat Ron to watch Fight Club the other night but he doesn’t think it’s worth watching because it’s all about fighting and nothing gets solved. I was trying to explain the underlying themes of the movie but he didn’t want to hear it. I then tried to draw connections between Fight [...]
Just got back from the last 24 hours’ revels.
The parade was a blast - I had a much better time this year. Not sure why. I think because the heat was bearable and not oppressive.
Thunderous applause and screaming when a float celebrating the Supreme Court decision came by - with people dressed up in parody [...]
Back from the beach. Glad we flew instead of the two and half day drive.
This year’s beach trip included a small surprise to my parents. I’ve had a
tattoo now for about 9 months or so and they finally got to see it (left shoulder
- solar icon). I feel sort of [...]
Ron and I went to see Finding Nemo today. I really enjoyed it - though
Monsters Inc. remains my Pixar favorite. The funniest line for me was:
‘Sea Monkey took my money.’
We also rented Broken Hearts Club last night. It’s a movie about a gaggle
of guys in Hollywood and their trials and tribulations. Sort of [...]
Dan Savage rips multiple orifices into the recent HIV yellow journalism:
And, before gay men congratulate themselves for “only” making up 42 percent of all new HIV infections, consider this: Gay and bisexual men make up only 3 percent of the population.
Perhaps it’s time for AIDS groups to start telling gay men the truth. Taking stupid [...]
It’s 4:43 - I’ve got insomnia - but that’s okay because I have Cary Grant in Alfred Hitchcock’s North by Northwest in the DVD player. This is sorta fun.
I was so distracted by sneezing as the bus came that I am not really sure if I am on a 135 or a 145 bus. And [...]

The good thing about David Sedaris is he reminds me that I’m not nearly neurotic
enough. I just finished his book Me Talk Pretty one Day- it is so nict o have
the time to actually read an entire book in one day.
We have settled into the beach house here on St. [...]
Much to report - I’ll try to recap by the end of today. Finished the script for Sinister last night. Mostly tweaking. Was able to get in early today and get the scripts copied before my meeting. I am feeling really dulled out today. The scripts are gonna be fine - edited, added and deleted [...]
Lifted and ran this morning. SO hungry right now but trying to do the two hour wait after cardio before eating. Sometimes I wonder if my fitness obsession is even worth it. I figure that I’ve come this far and look like I do now so why not go the extra mile and really get [...]
Just got done watching Fight Club. It’s one of those movies/novels I wish I’d written - mixing brutal, testosterone-drive violence with anti-capitalist, anarchist ideology. And Helena Bonham Carter hasn’t looked this good since Miss Honeychurch in Room With A View.
I visited my neighborhood grocery for the first time since it’s been made-over. I walk up [...]
Had a good run this morning… I’ve cranked up my intervals to 6-7-8-9 mph and then did the cross-training machine when I got done with the running. Didn’t do jack shit last night and it rocked. Karen came over and we did the laundry for the show - there we are at the Happy Wash [...]
Put this in the Wake-Up-And-Smell-The-Coffee Inbox: (from Salon)
Venture capitalist greed — which funneled hundreds of millions of dollars into bogus business plans while hoping to hit it big on premature IPOs — killed the Internet economy. Marketing directors — eager to spend millions more on glitzy television campaigns for Web sites pushing products that no [...]
My best friend Kate turned 26 today. She and I first met in high school health class where we’d count the number of times the teacher would say the word ‘goofy.’ (”fallopian tubes are kinda goofy y’all… duodenum is a goofy word…”) We first bonded as Twin Peaks freaks. I think I’ll always have a [...]

Subject: RE: Well…
Hey Puddingtons. I think I have some kind of African (Asian?) Sleeping Sickness. Maybe I got bit by a tsetse fly. I came home yesterday and slept from 2-5:30 and then from 11:30 to 8 this morning. Maybe my fast living is catching up with me. I’m trying to do a club [...]
To: Mario:
Nice pitcher… makes me want to go tan a little - I haven’t been in couplea months - just a little color makes me feel a little more lively once the sun stops shining - and I think helps combat that seasonal condition where you think you’re going to pull your toes off with [...]
Looked at three apartments in the past day. Put some dough down on one. I hope it goes through - a little more than I wanted to spend and mom and dad will fritz out when I tell them. But it is three blocks from Wrigley Field and minutes from the dance clubs and the [...]
