I did a lot of organizational work today, but just as I was doing a little research for future projects, I came across this and found it mind-blowing. You know my last name is Vilga, right? –– you’re here on my website after all –– but have you heard of “Vilgax” from the Cartoon Network s...

That’s what they call it –– “Voluntary Surrender” –– when you call the finance company that you’re leasing-to-own your car from and discuss trading up with a new model before the lease is up:  VOLUNTARY SURRENDER. It does sound INSANELY DRAMATIC and vaguely New Age-y all at once. An...

Sarah and I swung by the BMW dealership since I’m contemplating a mini-Cooper. What’s astonishing is that we were basically TOTALLY ignored, even though I was pretty direct about being ready, willing, and able to buy. Are things really going THAT well for the folks at San Francisco BMW?  [It ma...

I cannot even begin to tell you how much I loved, Marina Abramović The Artist Is Present. I started out merely curious and then became passionately involved. I don’t think the trailer fairly represents the film in terms of its impact and emphasis (there’s too much about the “shock” ...

On the way to the beach, a lady in a truck mostly admiring Belle in my convertible said something positive involving the phrase, like “Cool Ride, Daddy-O.”  (Was she a time-traveler perhaps, although I am wearing vintage-style sunglasses?)  We were approaching the beach and Belle was sitting bo...

Call for Desperate Measures. Specifically, I realize –– as per all my David Neagle insights re: subconscious at work to prevent my self-actualization –– that I have been dragging my heels a bit on the novel polish. Granted, I was insanely busy around my birthday, and then NYC was a ...

Until I get through the first six episodes of this season’s TRUE BLOOD. Even though my college friend Jessica Tuck — aka “Nan Flanagan” — met the “True Death” at the end of last season, I decided to give the series a second chance. (The last season was so OVER THE ...
