If you’re reading this, you likely already know, but I went to Chernobyl by way of Kiev, and took some pictures. There are probably stories I should tell, you know,…
It’s been covered ad-nauseam already, both in traditional media and social, but I was on a boat during the event itself, and I feel like I want to acknowledge the…

Finally! I scanned some of the pics that I took at the wedding and am putting them up for your perusal!
There are tons more, actually, but Ill leave it to Scott and Sharon to post em when I finally get them album-ized and sent their way. Included in this batch are a couple of pictures of me in a tux, which is a rare event indeed. Also included are a couple of pictures of the non-wedding dinner that happened the night before the wedding. Fun times. Thanks to everyone who came out, and if you werent there, you probably should have been because you would have had fun.
A few more pictures will probably pop up here in the next few hours, so keep your eyes peeled.
I got up early this morning and washed my car by hand for the first time in a coons age. Yay for that. What I realize is that my car…
item! It took until midday yesterday to get my work computer back up and running properly. As a result, I am now running antivirus software on a machine that I…
Ack! Woke up at just before five am at the end of a vivid dream that I had to declare personal bankruptcy. Couldnt think about sleeping after that, so I…
I went the whole day today not even remembering that it was the first already! I wrote my rent check yesterday, but that somehow didnt translate into what day today…
The point of this update is twofold – first, to update about Hearst Castle and second to post a few pictures that I finally got around to organizing and am starting to scan. Asking for wedding pictures in this post is too much, but maybe youll get some tonight. In the read more link are two pics of the boys before our Saturday outings.
That said, Hearst Castle was very cool. From a “big house” perspective, its the largest Ive seen in the states (can you call Versailles a house? It aint a castle, but its hardly a house, you know?), and well-designed in a relatively-modern style. I like that the house was designed and built recently, and clearly for the purpose of entertaining guests. I wish I had that capability right now, Ill tell you. Work from home, have people around when you want to have dinner and social hour? Sounds like heaven. Ahh, to be a multi-millionaire. Thats pretty much the solution to everything these days, right?
Casey (who turned out to be an excellent day-trippin partner) and I stopped in Solvang on the way home and had some dinner in the weird Dutch-style town after a little walking around, taking in the oddity of it all. Id like to know a little more about Mid-State wineries before venturing back up that way, because it seems very spread out (unlike the dual valleys of Napa and Sonoma way up north) and I dont recognize any of the names of the vinyards. Research would save the day in this case, I think. Shame Im sucky at it.
Dont forget to click read more below to see Russ, Kieran and Brad in the first two of a bunch of July pictures to go up in the next 24-ish hours.
Heres the thing. Im about to have a weekend, and, during it, I intend to post pics of weddings that have already happened and maybe even of Hearst Castle. Im…
Got my car back. Everything done under warranty (except the high-beam light replaced and the fuse for it replaced), and the total was only $64. thats a lot for a…
And Im back to LA! Landed at almost exactly 11pm last night, PST, and got home in time to get some of my stuff away before passing out for the night. Dropped off film this morning on the way in to work, and here I am, tired, but happy nonetheless.
I got to see Becca twice, her boy Dave, a lot (but never enough) of Scott and Sharon, Krol, Meg, and Ket, as well as a bunch of people from college that I havent seen in six years. Fantastic. My mom even came down on Sunday, which was super-cool, and despite the fact that she doubtless spent more time in the car than with me, it was fun.
Being back in the saddle means writing, catch-up with friends (hopefully) and meetings, maybe, as well as a weekend trip to Hearst Castle, I think, before long. I should have pics by the end of the day, so maybe I can do some posting tomorrow. Well see.
Thanks to everyone that came out, invited me out, and made the effort to be around this weekend. It was really a great weekend all the way around.
Theyve taken the step. Made the leap. Walked the aisle. The union of Scott and Sharon, of Sharon and Scott is complete. The wedding was a roaring success and pictures…
“Somebodys getting married…”
and Im going, finally. Im ticketed (to the tune of $500), and ready to go. Tomorrow night, I take off for DC. Yay! Thats all there is now. My $5mil movie project drinks cancelled tonight, but well reschedule for Tues or Weds next week. Maybe by then Ill have a plan of attack and be brilliant!
edit:
Sharon wanted me to point out that it is, indeed, she, Sharon, who is getting married. Sharon is marrying, getting hitched, engaging in the act of holy matrimony. Sharon is getting married. And shes marrying Scott.
And, to prove that no request on Clapboard goes unpunished, check out the newly-posted picture of Sharon below – complete with her future husband (who deserves none of this, but since hes marrying her…) in frame. I think its cute.
Oh. My. God. Way harder than the 5th one, at least to me. Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince was quite a ride. I devoured it in two sittings,…
strangely enough, although im exhausted, i feel like ranting tonight for the first time in a long time. I just feel like its all games, games designed to protect ourselves,…

In Seattle, at an internet cafe. Dont know any more at the moment, but I just wanted to post that my moms former student has been found. I wonder if…
Damnit! I was only out a few hours yesterday, but clearly, spending one day a week in the sun is not enough to build a socal-worthy base tan by July…
It feels so surreal from way out here – something that happened so many miles away and so many hours ago can feel so close to home. I have utmost…
Its already over! Russ came and left already, and every bit of our weekend was full. Good times. Thanks to the time difference and his natural tendencies, we were up…
