Los Feliz 3, the theater where I saw Fahrenheit 9/11, was also playing Super Size Me and The Stepford Wives. Might as well have renamed the place “Houston Blows.” People couldn’t believe I went to a high school where vending machines were installed next to the gym, Cokes were allowed in the classroom, and the…

We’ve almost hit the hundred mark on book donations. Thanks for being patient during this weird email thing. If you sent me mail since Saturday, please resend. And a huge thank you to everybody who has helped so far, from donations to links on your own websites. The word is spreading faster than you can…

I can’t send or receive email until further notice, and if you sent me something since Saturday it’s gone into some kind of email ether, so please report donations on this comments thread and I’ll keep updating them over here.

Here it is. This year’s pamie.com book drive. Let the weeping of librarians begin!

Two screenwriters talk food between note sessions with producers: STEE: What are we doing about dinner tonight? PAMIE: I don’t know. I think we’re out of food. STEE: We have some chicken nuggets, I think. Chicken strips. And couscous. I’m just thinking out loud. That’s the bad version of dinner.
