I watched a wonderful documentary today, BETWEEN THE FOLDS, about origami which won a Peabody award and is totally great. I’ve never thought that much about origami beyond that it seems rather interesting, but the world of these artist is AMAZING.  Just look at what they can do with a single piece of...

That’s what this woman said to me tonight when I slipped my car into a coveted spot on Telegraph Hill (she and two respectable gents were saying goodnight after a dinner party or something at 10pm). Earlier, I had left a prized spot for a Trader Joe’s outing for lunch, only to find the very sam...

My most intense sleeps seem to be when I stop working at 1 am, read for a bit, and then fall asleep by 2, only to have Belle decide 4:30 am is a great time for a walk.   I fall asleep very quickly into deep and vivid dreams for a few hours more.

Lately my spam count is off the hook for this blog, but all of them are attempted fake postings based on my “Sadly, Over the Hill” post about Colin Farrell.  I just don’t understand why that one post has somehow triggered endless obvious attempted spam comments.  Are spammers ob...

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...

I can really on focus only what’s happening at DOWNTON ABBEY (and secondarily) in the world of my screenplay. I have another 30 minutes of the 1st season finale to watch and it’s a MIRACLE I can break away to do anything else. Why is this show so amazing?  [According to Wikipedia, it R...

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 ...
