  • “It says repeat, but YOU DON’T HAVE TO.”

    Remember when all I could talk about was how much I needed that soap? Well, I got it. A distributor found me through a Google search, and shipped me a bar from Taiwan. Are you looking for Arsoa as well? You can email Lawrence and he’ll send it to you. Please tell him I sent…

  • Say My Name

    So, yesterday three Galleys of my book arrived. It is an uncorrected proof of the novel, filled with bizarre typos (strange hyphens, missing punctuation, the word “person” spelled “peson”). But everyone has said that it’s very normal, and the reviewers and authors reading the galleys know that this isn’t the finished book. It doesn’t even…

  • “I Love Television!”

    This entry is brought to you by the tiny Larry King inside my head. The one who can’t keep track of an idea enough to see it to the… is that candy?!? Oh, man, oh, man. Wendy’s new birthday entry is crazy-funny. Happy birthday, Wendy. I hate that I’ve only met you once. And “Caucasian…

  • The It Factor

    I had one of those days yesterday where at one point I stopped walking and thought, “What am I doing here? Do I really want this? Is this what I want to do with my life? Is it worth all the work, the struggle, the hours spent doing free work, trying to please the unpleasable?”…

  • If I’m so famous, then where’s all my money? A guest entry, by djb.

    People, basic cable absolutely loves me. Strive as I may to break free of my fate as “matinee idol of channels well about thirteen,” the camera simply will not give up and turn its gaze in another direction. About a year ago this month, I made the mistake of wowing a television producer into thinking…

  • Diagnosis: Broken

    [scripty] STEE I find it charming that you will diagnose people after hearing only three symptoms. PAMIE I do that? STEE From athlete’s foot to kidney failure. PAMIE I do that. Yeah. I get it from my father. He did that all the time. STEE As if you have a medical degree. It comes from…

  • Sheltered

    I know this is just what I asked for, but it’s a little quiet around here. That’s okay. I’m happy with the lack of phone calls. Even the construction appears to be finished on both sides of the house. I am currently in a familiar Los Angeles pasttime: I’m waiting. It’s an okay kind of…

  • Damn Kids

    It only looks like I took a week off. While I was doing book stuff, the rest of you were busy giving me a big head. Thank you. How broke did we get? Well, for entertainment the other day we spent more than thirty minutes making faces into the living room mirror when we realized…

  • Post Mortem

    The rundown, in case you aren’t hip to the international wire: Page Six. The Netherlands. This one has my favorite headline: “Anne Heche boos om schizofrenie-show.” Check out the splash page of People.com. Yep. That’s us. Second favorite headline: “Call Me Angry.” In the print version, you can find us on page 20. The IMDB…

  • Ha. Double ha.

    Ha. Double ha.

    So, if you haven’t heard by now, we made Page Six, shortly after we were an item on Filth. Then we were on all kinds of radio station newsbites. You guys are like my personal press clipping service, and I really appreciate that. How else would I know we made the West Australian? This morning…
