Ah, the funny things we see on disposable coffee cups:"Failure's hard, but success is the more dangerous. If you're successful at the wrong thing, the mix of praise and money and opportunity can lock you in forever."- My Starbuck's Cup (But technically, Po Bronson)

Ah, the romance.....and the ridiculousness of searching the word "Valentine's Day" on youtube:This is cute...if it was 1985.Ok, this is just weird.For those of you clueless guys...some tips:Reminds me of one of those young kid reading shows on PBS from the 80s with the simplistic drawings:And, this is Fred...on Valentine's Day.Happy searching!!!!!!

The fun thing about musicals...is they make you sing along!These are the top 5 musical numbers that come to my mind, when I think - musical:From the movie, Annie, Annie singing "Tomorrow."I knew that whole album inside out as a kid. It was my favorite movie.From the movie, Yankee Doodle Dandy, James Cagney as George M. Cohen singing "Over There." Fantastic! I saw this movie as a little kid and

The movie Young at Heart is about a pretty cool group of senior citizens. I just read an article on cnn.com that I thought was pretty cute. I'll paste the link below. It's about an 88 year old spitfire waitress. Yes, I said spitfire and so did cnn. I think that's pretty cool. She's doing what she enjoys...at 88! She doesn't have to work, but she chooses to. Just another story that shows, you can

Portland, OR - a serene, beautiful picture with which to ponder a quote. "I am like that does not help anything. I can be different does." - From the book Ok Words by way of the book Helping Me Help Myself by Beth Lisick (which is a really fun book about a girl who doesn't believe in self help, but decides to get some major self-help from the most well known self help gurus in a year).Ah, the

Ah, the fun of reading. Hey, wouldn't it be fun to write a book...in a month?It's only two weeks until National Novel Writing Month 2008! For those of you, not in the know - it's where you write a 50,000 world novel in November.It's completely worth doing, whether you have writing aspirations or not. There's just something about a challenge...that makes you feel oh so good after you complete the

And, no, not just because my name is in the credits. Geesh.I operated the camera. Hahahaha - makes me think of Baby in Dirty Dancing saying, "I carried a watermelon." But seriously, though, that first pan shot - that was me moving the camera. Woo-hoo!Wow, I've had too much caffeine. Enjoy the short!

A good day for some tea! Yum...Actually, I like tea all the time. It's the best. It helps me write. It keeps me awake. It's the best comfort food on the planet. It's tea! But, that's not the point of this blog. The point is, if you like tea, you tend to boil a lot of water. Sometimes you may use a tea kettle on the stove to boil that water....And, sometimes, you forget to add the water.....Which

Here in Hollywood, the UTA list is a super-secret job list that has little known jobs on it for the industry - coveted jobs in fact, for assistants, PA's, etc. Well, actually, everyone gets it or someone you know in Hollywood probably does.Anyway, someone has decided to poke a little fun at the UTA job list, with their own "fake" UTA listings. Pretty hilarious. And, sadly, probably some truthful

Santa Monica Pier Ferris Wheel at NightThe picture above is just a picture I liked and thought I'd post it above. I was there last week, during the week one night. It's peaceful. It's serene.And, I need to write a blog...even if it ends up being a random one.Sometimes life gets so busy, things start to fall away. For me, that's been blogging. I'm tired. I work a lot. Blogging requires effort.

Shooting a Road Movie!It's over a week since I completed the 48 hour film project. I took off for a few days in Las Vegas to recooperate.I can now reflect.It was an insane 48 hours. I got about 5 hours of sleep in two days. I started becoming delirious...and yet I kept going. We only had 48 hours! So, it was utter insanity, but a lot of fun too. I'd recommend it to anyone. You should do it!For

This may sound like a delusional blog, being that I'm writing it on 2 hours of sleep.It's about 13 hours into the 48 hour film project. Everything is still quiet...for about another hour.It was smooth sailing, at first. For those of you not in the know, the 48 hour film project is basically writing, shooting, and editing a film (with music!) in 48 hours. You get a genre, prop, line of dialogue,

For those of you that are like, WTF is this?!?!?! It's Maniac Mansion - another Lucasfilm game (like Monkey Island). And, this person solves it in NINE minutes!!!!! I never even FINISHED the game and I spent hours on it. Craziness. So, I just had to share.And, maybe you can only appreciate it if you were an 80s/90s Lucasfilm videogame nerd, but hey, whatever.

Woo-hoo!I'm a winner! I wrote a script in a month! I finished Script Frenzy! Woo-hoo!I'm just taking a moment to gloat, being that I wrote 25 pages in the last few hours in order to try and finish my script tonight.My thought for today: You can do anything you set your mind to!Okay, it's time to go do some cartwheels. I've looked at the computer screen enough for today!

Google is great! Every once in awhile, when I think of something long lost in the past, I do a google search and suddenly, there it is again!I took a moment today to look up one of my all-time favorite video games, Monkey Island. I know I wrote a blog about it last year, but here I am thinking about it again. I was thinking about old school video games, having talked with friends about the
