walkies! no, runnies
There is a beach park near where I live that I just love. It’s pretty, but a little industrial, and kind of weird. Just when you start thinking the smokestacks ruin the view and that there’s an odd smell in the air, you walk out on the pier and the water is a deep peacock…

Me on stage in Ventura in January 2011 I’ve been saving this quote for more than two years. It’s part of a review by Fishbowl LA of some TV show: You know how when your stupid friend begs you to go see their improv group at some horrible club in Hollywood and you spend the…

I had been hearing about the mythical “web” and the Mosaic web browser for…

I have expressed my ever-growing exasperation with people that can’t stop talking and their inability/refusal to read social clues (the clue being: SHUT UP) Therefore, I greatly appreciate these songs. She’s Talking Again by Henry Phillips: [direct link] There’s a sequel (He’s Talking Again) that I also like. You Talk Too Much by Run-DMC: [direct…
