The world feels pretty sleep on this day before Christmas Eve, although Belle and I have been working away. We started with a morning yoga client (at 9:30 –- Thank God –– not 6 am), walking there together in the rain. Later in the day, however, the little dog started limping as we exited my car for a trip ...

My juicer is astonishing.  I honestly can’t imagine life without it. It makes such incredibly delicious, healthy drinks and lets you feel virtuous (aka smug) at the same time. Early morning client, followed by magazine interview, then 8:30 am nap. And –– in honor of 12/21 –R...

There’s going to be no stopping my relationship with green juice. My juicer arrived this morning and it’s amazing.  So easy to use and simple. I have dim memories of using a friend’s juicer 15 years ago and it was IMPOSSIBLE to clean.  It literally felt like it took 30 minutes to wash it....

Today it suddenly became overwhelmingly necessary that I organize my toiletries better and so a trip to Ikea was called for. I met John there and –– even though somehow it was weirdly complicated to get the cabinet not off the floor or in the large item section, but that I had to get an employee to do the ...

Today, after teaching one private, I found myself unbelievably exhausted. So since last night I decided to start ONCE UPON A TIME and (even though it reminds me so much of the first script I wrote and had optioned for a TV series), I can’t stop and have watched five episodes. I love that The Huntsman...

So fun to re-watch ANCHORMAN:  the legend of Ron Burgundy today. I love that the trailer has scenes that are totally not in the movie: After my first long beach excursion with Belle since the surgery and one new yoga private, following a dinner with Susan and John, I am feeling well … overwhelmingly...

I made a simple yet profound discovery about Final Draft tonight. I knew it had various templates for screenplays and also for stage plays, but once you select one you are seemingly stuck. Then, however, I realized that you can just manually adjust the five or six pre-set formats (like CHARACTER or DIALOGU...

I participated in the global meditation today at 6:30 pm PST via the Master Shift with many thousands of others across the globe. And I thoroughly enjoyed it –– although I’m not sure if I felt any particular 12/12/12 magic, beyond that it was also Adrian and Tevis’ birthday. I take that back: ...

Loved BEGINNERS. My long lost friend (and cinematographer) Joaquin shot Mike Mill’s last feature (plus a lot of awesome GAP commercials), so I’ve long been aware and a fan. The film could have so crossed over the annoyingly quirky line, but instead was incredibly simple and sweet and extraordin...
