My wife’s a big believer in Victoria’s Secret. And apparently, by the volume of catalogs we receive on a weekly basis, Victoria’s Secret is a big believer in her. They arrive faster than we can throw them away and now have semi-permanent residence in our room, magazine stand, bathrooms, and living room. They’ve become our … Continue reading
Things That Suck. Devo’s cover of Satisfaction. The commercial for Procede featuring Guiseppe Franco, stereotype. Jim Cramer’s rolled-up sleeves. The name Bonnie. That the talkbacks are useless. People who think Iron Man looks “gay”. That fried food tastes good. People who kill their children and then kill themselves instead of just killing themselves. Construction workers … Continue reading
The Wrong Combs, Hollywood Imagine my surprise to be sifting through Variety headlines and seeing the headline “Combs gets star on Walk of Fame“. I literally scanned through my memory banks trying to think of anyone they could be referring to EXCEPT Jeffrey Combs. I got excited and then clicked the link. Sean ‘Puffy” Combs. … Continue reading
So my blog has been sitting here for about 10 weeks now, totally dormant. There are a couple reasons for this, first and foremost of which is the fact that I am not now, nor have I ever been, a blog person. I don’t read blogs, I’d never written a blog in the past, and … Continue reading

When you live in Los Angeles you get the chance to meet people who are actually working in the movie business and not just trying to break in. You can meet these people… and then punch them in the nose. When I woke up this morning and found the floor of my bathroom covered in … Continue reading
Regardless of what fate befalls my beloved Cleveland Cavaliers (and they’ve been embarrassing since the panic trade that brought them a done player for a dumb player), I’m going to be watching a lot of playoff basketball this spring. It’s what I do. I also might buy my first firearm just to feel that steel … Continue reading
Once again I’m back in San Francisco thanks to EA, who has me settled in comfortably at the Soiftel hotel down the street from their headquarters. It’s weird how from one trip here I feel like I know the whole place. Just got back to my room from drinking a Heineken at the bar, once again looking … Continue reading
Tonight I get to rejoin one of my favorite guilty pleasures, Doctor Who. I know it is low-budget and campy, but that’s part of why I love it. It’s cheesy, it’s goofy and it’s on SciFi. There aren’t many TV shows I actually make time to watch, but I won’t miss an episode of the … Continue reading
