  • Paging Dr. Carter

    I know I often joke about being seven years old, but today I have proof. Last night I went to sleep with an irritation at the front of my ear. The pain was eclipsed by my sunburned chest and butt, so I thought nothing of it. This morning I have swimmer’s ear. And because I…

  • Unique Artistic Vision and Semi-Worthy Poetry

    Caught up on TiVo, and it turns out that I hate the show I thought I’d like, and I like the show I thought I’d hate. How about that? The Anna Nicole Show was so disappointing. I couldn’t even find a reason to laugh. I just sat there staring, wondering why nobody bothered to make…

  • Run

    Downloading — no lie — 726 pieces of email. Can’t ever go out of town again. It appears we escaped with only one hairball waiting for our return. All three cats appear to be healthy and happy. Ray sent a present to Cal — a “Video Catnip” tape. It’s a half-hour video of birds and…

  • Catastrophe

    Downloading 164 pieces of email. I’ve got some time to kill. There are three cats now. I haven’t mentioned that before, but there are three cats. Taylor, Cal and Olive. Olive is new. She’s a girl. They didn’t all meet until the new house, so each one was like, “Where the hell am I? Oh,…

  • iYaiYai

    I currently have three computers. This sounds like I’m bragging. Let me assure you that I am not. My oldest computer is the iBook, my tried and true friend of almost three years. This computer has been on many an airplane trip, wrote thousands of email, helped maintain Squishy, was the machine I wrote the…

  • Before Midnight

    Before Midnight

    The background music, the ongoing soundtrack of my late nights for the past five years has been provided by Playstation. Various video game orchestral swells have accompanied many a late-night writing period, or play loudly underneath my brain as I finish a book. Right now World War II is going on behind my head. It…

  • Insignificance

    It feels really silly. This morning I got to drive through the Warner Brothers lot for a meeting, and I squealed like a child when I saw the E.R. set — the ambulance bay and Doc Magoo’s. Then I bounced in the passenger seat when I realized we were next driving through Stars Hollow, the…

  • “Benny Wants to See the Movie Too.”

    I’m off to see Austin Powers in Goldmember in a few hours. I really hope it doesn’t suck. Most likely it won’t, right? And the soundtrack will probably be good, right? I wanted to add a sidenote to the MTV entry from the other day. How is it possible that the Basement Jaxx didn’t get…

  • Why I Should Turn My Computer Off at Night

  • Best P. Diddy in a Puff Daddy Video

    I will continue to do this to prove that I am not getting older; pop music is just sucking harder these days. I can’t stand this Christian invasion. It’s ruining music! Someone call up Jars of Clay and take notes — how do we get the Christian music to be back on the fringe? How…
