  • Ugh.

    Even reading this again has made me ill. See how he tries to make it seem like he’s the nice guy in this situation? That he changed his ways simply because he loves me? He’s very good. I’m not saying it’s all an act, but he’s trying to win you over, people. Playing the husband…

  • Bumming You Out

    My thoughts are with those dealing with Katrina. I used to live in Hinds County, Mississippi, and I know what it’s like to wait out a storm, wondering at what point you have to evacuate. [db] When I get to work in the morning, there’s usually the latest draft of that week’s script on the…

  • yes, Dan, you live in LA and WE GET IT

    The thermometer on the bank next door to where I’m typing these words reads “104°.” Still, having grown up in a place where the summer has a smell (of rotting garbage) and the humidity kills the homeless, this really doesn’t feel hot to me. I still consider any day containing sunshine to be a “nice…

  • Zero 7: Sounds Eclectic Too (Various)

    Song: “Distractions” I wanted this song at my wedding during the pre-show music Adam played (“So go on mister, make Miss me Mrs you.”), but stee said the lyric right before that, “I can not quite, but nearly / Guarantee, a divorce,” was kind of inappropriate. Point taken. But the way that girl wails “I…

  • tee-hee. “duty.”

    So, I’m not the person who updates my profile on IMDB.com. What’s interesting to me is that somebody does. Someone put in my birthdate, this website, the name of my husband (getting our anniversary incorrect, but still…) I find it fascinating. I know it’s not my mother, because she has no idea what the words…

  • The White Stripes: Elephant

    Song: “I Just Don’t Know What To Do With Myself” My iPod loves playing The White Stripes. No matter how random the shuffle, there will be a White Stripes song in there, so I’m glad I like all of their songs. I have ten Beatles albums, six or so Radiohead albums, all the Weezer, but…

  • Junk Bond Trader

    LA Things I’ve never done, cars parked in the sun Living in the day Last night I was about to throw it all away On Friday, my iPod upped and erased all 5,000 of its songs. On Saturday, we spent five hours fixing it. I’m not a parent, but I imagine it was the same…

  • Pete Shelley (and Various Artists): Some Kind of Wonderful Soundtrack

    Song: “Do Anything” There are a lot of soundtracks in my music collection. There hasn’t been one replaced as often as this. When I was missing it about a year ago, at least five of you out there offered to burn a copy of your own for me. There’s a bond people have over this…

  • happy houseiversary

    Didn’t sleep very much last night. Woke up early, took a bath, and then watched an episode of House. This is very fitting, as one year ago today, we moved into our own little house.
