LA 2

check out Esther's blog for photos because I forgot my digi cam. Dud. I just tried to post them but nothin doin - they turned out tiny. Mercedes and I are breaking into the Ritz today. I used to do it as a teenager, but now its become kind of a routine when I come visit.

I've decided that guys are crazy here. Some stupid dude threw a bottle a Caitlin and her friend when they didn't respond to their catcalls. wtf?

LA 1

so i shouldn't even be writing about such douchebags, but last night we were all hanging out at mountain bar in chinatown and i was talking with Caitlin in this corner table. a group of 6 dudes show up and crow around us even though there was a whole other table right next to us.i was like 'hey, there's actually someone sitting there' and this stupid, ugly fool goes 'well now i'm sitting here so what the fuck are you gonna do about it?" this proceeded until i couldn't stand their stupid faces any more and i said "i guess you feel like a bad man right now intimidating too girls out of their seats" then one dude goes "leave hipsters!" and i turned around and he had slicked back hair, braces and a fucking clash shirt. GOD.

guys in LA are dicks in general i've decided... well maybe dicks is a bit harsh, but they're super aggressive. i honestly don't think that would have happened in nyc. but maybe ... i hate that stupid comment "HIPSTERS!". that shit doesnt even make sense.

anyways.... i felt like venting. thats probably the dumbest post since ... maybe the whole time. caitlin says you should let those people just roll over your shoulder but all i wanted to do was throw my beer in his face.

summers almost done

its so sad...

i wish i started a better regimen... but, thats summer. days go by super fast and you're not sure what you've done.

When i was 12, i was obsessed with the x-files. I told everyone I wanted to be an FBI agent, to which, surprisingly everyone was ok with. Now, that seems fucking crazy. I bought a bunch of books on conspiracy theory and read up on places like Area 51.Its not that I don't believe there might be extraterrestrial life now, its more that I cant imagine why I ever believe they showed up in saucers. I don't know. Maybe they do and I've just become a "non-believer".

So, in this upcoming X-Files movie it looks like once again Mulder and Scully totally kiss. Rad. Plus, Mulder is back on the case in a serious way.

I guess I should go see that soon.

I'm working everyday on my next film. All of the work is fundraising focused, which is a lot of work. This is why people have executive producers. Whats also exciting is that I am trying to co-write with my very good friend Caitlin. We're in the process of trying to figure out how co-write... I seem to be coming at a bit intensely. I think maybe I should lay off all the charts and schedules. ha. I think I have the tendency to overcompensate with lists and schedules when I'm not producing anything creatively.
i wish i could rock a joan jett haircut, but it would just turn into a weird fro like puff.

piruw

i miss peru. i'm coming to california soon tho so that should suffice for now.

island fever

we got to take care of my friend Ed's little baby french bulldog last weekend. soooo cute and cool. suddenly people in the neighborhood were talking to us. he was the hit of the town.
i've really been into cooking lately too. cooking is super meditative for me - sometimes. Especially if I do it for other people. i stuffed a big chicken with currants, sour dough bread, carrots, peppers, onions, fennel root and garlic and roasted that with some pisco, butter and olive oil. then dave made those bomb stuffed onions wrapped in bacon and rosemary from our new herb garden. then i also stuffed some peppers and roasted those guys for way longer than you'd think and they turned out delish.
don brought over a Wii but my TV is super old so it didnt work. Instead we played pictionary but without paper - we used old paper bags and newspaper. pictionary is super hard..way harder than i remember.
next i need to focus and start writing more. i have all this anxiety about the next project we have to do in the fall. super intense. i'll post some ideas later and would love your feedback.
