until, you know, a couple of hours Okay. Wow. It’s very quiet in my house. It’s just me, and the two cats. This is amazing. Dammit. Someone just knocked on the door. A party-goer coming back to pick up his toothbrush and organizer that he left here. This is not my beautiful life. There were…

and great LA moments I almost crashed my car earlier today when I drove past a woman who looked so unusual that I couldn’t stop staring. She was wearing white wrapping around her head like she had the mumps, and on top of that she had a neon pink beret. She was wearing a black…

I’m grounded. Yesterday afternoon [scripty] RAY Miss Pam. PAMIE Yes, Ray? RAY You call this an entry? PAMIE No, I know. I’m still sick and I was busy all day. RAY This is not an entry, young lady. PAMIE It’s better than writing nothing. That way everyone knows I’m busy and not dead. I don’t…

and a long line at the post office Well, I’m staring at an accomplishment. This week I’m doing three things I’ve never done before. First I wrote a teleplay. It’s for “Will and Grace.” It’s okay. Then yesterday I buckled down and wrote the “Sex and the City” that’s been in my head. I did…

and chris preaches the past I have been swamped in a crapload of work. I’m still trying to get through it and won’t be done until sometime tomorrow maybe, so this will be short and then I’m handing things over to Chris today because he’s good like that and helps me out when I’m too…

reading between the lines First of all, I’d like to brag that I am the new owner of California plates. It only took forever. Get yourselves a triple A membership, that’s all I can say. Melodee, my AAA woman, took control and we had a good girl talk about moving, families, racism and issues as…
