Hot in Herre, Indeed.
My mom’s new thing is to call me when she gets to the video store and I talk her through her evening’s purchases. It makes Katy, TX feel just a bit closer to Los Angeles, and it feels like hanging out with my mom, so I enjoy it. Plus I save my mom from making…

“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…

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…

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…
