I almost enjoyed Prometheus –– even though I felt obliged to fast forward through the silliest gory parts and, when I realized that my rental window was rapidly closing, skimmed through the boring parts –– but honestly, it makes no sense. Years ago, I had dinner and hung out briefly...

Today, I sorta –– more or less –– took off. I did manage to re-adjust my scanner and complete the forms my accountant needed. And I cleared 2.4 mysterious gigs on my iPhone (a weird tip on askdifferent worked). But then I drove off to the Marin Mini Dealership to see if I had won the $30,000 giveaway –– wh...

Well, actually there is. Completing things for my 2011 tax extension for Monday, October 15th and it’s proving surprisingly easy. I am a great collector of receipts,  and –– since it seems I only dine or hang out or travel with people with whom I have projects –– EVERY breath I take is a deduction. A...

This morning, Belle and I prepped for the arrival of LLS & Philip –- shopping for Canadian delicacies at Whole Foods, etc. –– and then a mini-jump rope session, before heading off to Stinson Beach to celebrate my college roommate’s birthday. That drive is unbelievably spectacular, almost too gorg...

Argh!  The Blue Angels … how they torment my little dog. It was midday when they started and I was at my mailbox picking up not one, but two client checks … when suddenly they started tearing apart the sky. Belle did something slightly even more shocking than not swimming (as she did yesterday)...

The Blue Angels, specifically. They spooked Belle when they started at 1pm today, but then she recovered. It was weird because she reacted way before I could remotely hear the sound of their roars and I wondered just what was frightening my little dog. But then when Belle and I went to the beach at 3:50, t...

Belle woke me at 6 am –– after I’d stayed up until 2 am working on the new script –– and so I “went with it” and continued structuring the new play while it was still dark until I felt semi-spent again. There’s a particular quality of sleep that happens when ...

10/01 … (and we can throw in an occasional “2”) 10/01/12 OK –– it’s 12:12 am and time to start writing the new script … like FOR REAL.

Morning yoga client. Then watched Jonah for 45 minutes –– we played WE SKI on Wii which was awesome. And then Valerie 2 and I went off to see a matinee of THE NORMAL HEART, the George C. Wolfe production that’s touring. I’ve always known about the play but never seen or read it before.  So much...
