Yesterday began at 4am — awakened by Belle but also that oddly magical Brahma Murti Time. Cleaned and organized for three or four hours and then went back to sleep. Excited for my friends Taniya and Michael’s baby shower at Dosa, as I was leaving at 11:15, a loud scraping sound stopped me. The ...

Especially at the Apple Store. I feel about the Apple Store like Holly Golightly felt about Tiffany’s — NOTHING bad can ever happen to you there. Sure, I’ve been there once or twice with a problem (one they’ve always solved), but mostly it just feels that I’ve stepped into a b...

The morning spent at the high-speed wireless temp office space, uploading photos from the NYC events for THE LATEST on this site and on the UPWARD DOG site, too.  Lots of thank you emails and updates and internet promotion that required being around young dot com types and those bulletin boards you can wri...

It was an utterly perfect day weather-wise in San Francisco, but my horoscope on Astro.com was dead on: Buried Tensions ** Be extremely careful of your tendency toward moody irritability at this time.

Having only 10 minutes before class...

Wrote two scenes –– well really lines/short monologues if we’re being honest–– for the new play this morning before racing off to Jasmine’s 9 am class.  A parking MIRACLE allowed me to arrive exactly on time.  Nonetheless, perhaps 85% of my waking hours yesterday devoted to brainstorming and ex...

I admit that lately I have felt close to Patti Stanger (the Millionaire Matchmaker) level of frustration about my inability to “set the date” for various signings and events. Of course, I know that for TV for the new book, I am more or less on call and at the whim of network TV’s changing demands. (Somethi...

So stressful — even though it was triumphant — to watch Jeremiah’s decorating challenge on RZ.  I understand that the show (all entertainment, in fact) deals with tension, but the manufactured, impossible obstacles nature of this challenge struck home for someone recently off a decorating...
