We just got Adrian’s tickets for San Francisco and I’m thrilled he’s going to be here in exactly 2 weeks.  I love that I now have so many delightful things in San Francisco that I cannot wait to show him. Susan will be teaching in Hawaii and I’m a little sad we won’t all ...

Somehow this old photo of me has gotten 4 or 5 new “likes” today on The Face Place — I’m not sure why, although perhaps inspired by my friends Jenny’s comment about missing Cosmic Play, the super-advanced class I used to teach in NYC. It is a pose I believe I semi-created R...

Of course I’ve long known the historical/cultural reference, but I realize I’ve never seen an actual production of any kind of MEDEA. I was thinking about this today since I met up with Yale roommate Peter to retrieve my long-lost navy, Ralph Lauren, GO-ANYWHERE blazer that I left at their hous...

My transposition of my novel is currently 273 pages. The maximum it should ever be is 120. Therefore it is now more than twice as long as it can be. There are currently 312 scenes of which I have written all but 8.  I am therefore 97.4% done with this part of the process. I actually think the whittlin...

Belle had a bit too much sea water yesterday, which meant that when we retired at 2am  (with a solid 88% of the scenes of the novel now screenplay written), she woke me at 4 am to go outside. Her method of doing this is to sit upright in bed and basically smile at me.  It’s a little unclear if she ne...

Thursday was a total recovery day (from my empathetic perspective) from the Goddess Collective event. Susan and my beach walk involved incredibly intense weather and two extended dog encounters with a Vizsla named Tosca and a Labradoodle named Joey, both of whom would not leave Belle and her magical stick ...

Well — it’s not brilliant YET (my script, that is) but in days, mere days, it will be. Suddenly it was 2 am last night and I’d hit a solid 75% or more of the script at 172 pages and I just had to stop.  I calculate we’ve only another 30-40 pages to go before the massive condens...

Yesterday, right after mailing the 60 DVDs off to the Cruise line, I returned home and encountered Susan and Yofi and after a brief parking conference, went inside for ten minutes to change for Chip Conley’s book signing. Somehow –– between the mailbox store and the signing, my sunglasses vanished. T...

I do love Instant Netflix but sometimes their logic is fascinating. Because I liked the Comedy Central Charlie Sheen Roast, here was their latest (hilarious) suggestion for me: HOW THE UNIVERSE WORKS:  “an enlightening tour of our current cosmic knowledge in this miniseries that starts with the Big B...
