I forget how fast time goes when you’re working. This last week or so, that’s all I’ve been doing, coming home too late to buy cable clamps and getting precious…
1) The legs are on my bed. 2) Its upside-down in the middle of my room. 3) My friend Klee thinks that Im a nutcase for trying to finish this…
While my jealousy is still asleep (its a lazy thing, that green bastard), I wanted to pop by and wish my babiest-of-baby sisters a happy 21st birthday. 21 years old…
Well, maybe not right this instant, but you should be checking out your NASA TV channel, or, if you cont get it where you are (if youre like me and…
I should make myself a construction topic icon, because I’m a constructing S.O.B. Well, today I’m a sanding and staining S.O.B. Its been fun. Okay, “fun” is too strong a…
Oddly enough, this title is apt in two ways. First, the obvious: I just booked my travel to get back to Philly on Aug 12. Second, I had to watch…
Do you just come here to see what wacky hijinks are afoot today? Mostly come to see what others are saying about things? Let me know in the poll (and…
While the rest of that VanDamme quote is radically inappropriate for the theme of the post, the idea of the first half is right on the money. Here it is…
Thats pretty much my weekend. Saturday was 11 hours on a commercial. Sunday was doing some errands, going to Home Depot, getting thwarted, going to get lunch, going back, getting…
The best-laid plans of mice and men, they say, oft go astray. Or get otherwise fucked up. Example? Sure. Wasnt it supposed to be the start of my 4 10-hour…
Thanks to Uncle Ken and Justin who took and e-mailed (respectively) this photo to me just the other day and helped crystalize my feelings at the moment about where I am and where I should be.
They say you can never go back again. They say its never the same. What if you only want similar, though, can you go back to similar? I mean, of course were not the same people we were ten years ago (or 20 years ago), and dont have the same needs, but those needs are probably similar, even if we dont recognize them. Looking at Old Faithful (yes, for those of you not in my family, we named that tree. Shut up about corny because my mom and aunts climbed in that tree when they were kids, then so did we–it earned a name) bereft of what I always thought of as its left arm makes me a little sad, because I think it was the gentle slope of that limb that so invited young climbers. Then again, if, after more than 50 years of having one family climb me so actively Ive lost but one arm, I think Id be pretty proud.
The poll to the right is really a thought process about making things happen again, about breaking out of hibernation and living up to an unspoken promise, a reputation, a tradition set forth by people I love. Thinking about our break from the Cape as a hibernation is somehow liberating – this isnt the first time the traditional line was broken, but that doesnt mean its not just dormant, waiting for a time when my generation gets its life under control, a time when we can finally say “I can see far enough ahead to make things happen that matter to me.” A time when we just do.
I miss South Sea Village. I miss Seagull Beach. I miss the way I felt walking on the dock by the Salt Pond. Sailing. The Jetty. Mostly, though, I miss the comraderie that we established in those days, and the memories in active creation.
Im trying a new tactic approaching my current project. Im planning to outline the entire script, literally every scene, before I open Final Draft and write a word of dialogue.…
Slashdots down. This is a bad sign – is the apocalypse coming? Anyway, Ive never seen the site out like this – maybe there was a lightning strike inside the building or an earthquake or something. Im going trolling for news to find out.

editors note:Turns out that Im just not a big enough geek for my own good. The outage was planned and went exactly as it was intended to. I just panicked prematurely, as I am wont to do.
…and about how I need to make a work category, but I guess I previewed, but never posted it. Weak. So Ive tested DVD menus for 3 days now. its…
This is actually a programmed story to post in the middle of the night, celebrating the fact that Im going to my first day of work on the first day…
While last night (involving Kierans car getting towed and Russ bike breaking down) turned out not nearly as well as wed hoped, the weekend is indeed, for the first time…
…but only for a little while. Then, you either forget about the strike or end up with a very cool looking briuse on your body. I should definitely play up…
I got the DVD tester job that I went in for on Tuesday. Its weird, because you think that itd be good, me having some income and all, but theres…
Buffoonery. Everyone was touting it as a sex tape, but from what Ive seen, its some kind of S&M photo shoot or music video. Boring. Totally the kind of thing that lots of actors do early on in their careers becuase the pay is good and theyre hungry. The version I have is boring and low-res, but clearly Miss Diaz. Where, I ask you, are the S&M videos, the sex videos, the scandalous things for the stars that I want to see more of naked? Cameron Diaz, I couldnt care less about, so wheres Angelinas sex tape? (Ooh, maybe with Billy Bob. In that case, keep it.) How long before Britney has one of her own? Itll probably take the ending of this marriage and maybe the ending of her third before one surfaces. Maybe shes got the Vegas night with that guy from her hometown squirrelled away in case her name ever drops far enough off the public radar. Having seen KING ARTHUR last night, Im inclined to ask where Kiera Knightlys sex tape is, too. She was hot in a weird way in the movie last night , especially at the beginning when she was in the dungeon. Weird. Between this and the fact that Lindsay Lohan and Tara Reids new implants have been making appearances all over the internet, its been a very sexualized few days, movie-star wise.
Anyway, I still have two apartments, which sucks, but Ive gotten plenty of replies on them in the last few days, just nothing thats panned out yet. Im going to try to show the place again in a big way tomorrow, if I can garner the interest. Cross your fingers.
Havent heard about the DVD job that I went in on the other day. Not a good sign, exactly, but they did have a lot of candidates, and I was only one of them, so the odds arent in my favor. Ive gotta find something soon, though, cause Im tired of being poor and bored and under-stimulated. I think that half the dumb things that I do here all day are a result of my mind keeping itself busy by playing tricks with my time, etc. Its like “Hey, I should do THIS thing…” when a tiny part of me is like “But you havent done THIS OTHER thing yet….” but I ignore it. No promises that the other thing would be anything at all, but no promises that it wouldnt, either. Thats the problem with my life right now, there are very few things Im counting on these days.
Anyway, Im off to send resumes that I can count on not hearing anything about. Then Ill eat. Then, maybe, Ill go to the beach. Well see about that, though, because itll depend on whether the sun comes out all the way or stays hidden till late afternoon. Either way, Im taking my Superhero outline and working on making it into something better than it was before. I think I finally have a format that I can run with in terms of outline, and once Im done with the pen-and-paper approach and Ive entered it into the computer, expect to get e-mail with the outline attached. I want feedback.

Russ was here all weekend, as you probably know, and for some reason, Im thinking about the way things were, and what that means for the way things are now.…
Today is the day when we remember our fight for and our championing of independence. Recently, its seemed more like a cruel joke than anything, but today we celebrate the…
Im putting this under the polls category because this post is entirely reliant upon community input. Im getting a little sick of the 20 CDs Ive had in my car…
So here we go again. More pictures, different place. This place has many more pictures because its such a great spot, and very few of the pictures are any good, although I hope to make up for lack of quality with sheer volume.
Click the Read More link to get the rest (as usual) and enjoy.
Lastly, Im stealing bandwidth right now, meaning that Im cancelling the whole T-Mobile thing for now (although I like it so much that I might get a year subscription when Ive got some damn income), and relying on the goodness of open wireless hotspots in my area (there are four, or so it seems) to give me juice. Sweet deal. Additionally, there seems to be a cheerleading squad down the street thats practicing just-unintelligible cheers, which I find weird, given that its just after midnight on July 2nd.
Unbelievable as it may seem, I have, indeed moved into a new place. Yes, a new place, newer, indeed, than the place I moved into on Saturday. I almost cant…
