Mucho Updato

Okay. The past week has been crazy. But, first off, the Boingo show was really fun, if not a little too short. The Greek Theater has to stop at 11pm because of the surrounding homes. The Boingo songs sounded really good but they also sang some Halloween themed songs which we disappointing because I wanted Boingo...Oingo. The opening bands were X and Dramarama. X sounded good but we missed Dramarama because we were at a birthday jubilee.

Last Saturday, Kelli's father, Marc, got married to a really sweet lady, Jacquie. It was a small gathering at the Ritz in Marina del Rey. On the way, we were very stressed because there was so much traffic for a Saturday afternoon. We running late and almost ran out of gas. We were thinking that we'd get locked out of the wedding. But it worked out.

The following morning I had a production meeting for a film trailer that I will be editing at night this week. The trailer was shot to try to get some cash out of the pockets of potential investors.

Later on, we went to The Prestige...which I highly recommend. Highly. Go see The Queen as well. Matt!

This Saturday was crazy. On Friday we got our halloween costumes and on Saturday we went out to a sushi restaurant with a friend. Then we were going to meet up with her husband at a local dive bar called the Green Frog and hopefully hang with other fools dressed up in ridiculous outfits...just wait til you see mine (photos to come). So, as we walked to the bar, I noticed my former roommates' car parked outside. I thought it was cool that he was there. Well, I walk in and he and a bunch of my other friends were there to wish me a happy birthday. Kelli had thrown me a surprise party. I hadn't a clue.

Meanwhile, yesterday I started working on The Megan Mullally Show. I am working for one week to fill in for a friend of mine, Ignacio, while he attends to his newborn child. Speaking of, those of you who know Troy and Heather Malmin will be happy to know that they had their first child.

Peter Bjorn and John

A song called Young Folks by Peter Bjorn and John. Not 3 people, apparently!

Boing Boom Chuck....Ping!

Kelli and I are going to Oingo Boingo tonight at the Greek Theater. It's not really Oingo Boingo since Danny Elfman will not be performing but we got the tickets for free. It should be fun anyway.

My friend, Mitch, is in town for a screenwriting seminar and he is staying with me. Last night Mitch, Kelli and I watched an English film called Kinky Boots. It was at Sundance when I went this last January. It's about a drag queen who helps convert a "Loafer making shoe factory" into a "Kinky Boots making factory." If you like the vibe of small English films you might like it.

To Blog or not To Blog

I begin my blogging as if I have been doing it for years...as if I was a pioneer.

Now, in my second week of unemployment, I am enjoying the simple things in life: the chirping of a bird in the afternoon (not the morning); the swishing of a fish tail hitting the rocks on the bottom of my somewhat recently purchased fish bowl; the plucking of the four available strings on my six string Martin acoustic guitar; and the hosting of a MURDER (!!!) with Kelli.

Recent Films: The Queen*, The Departed, Employee of the Month, The Proposition*, In the Bedroom*

Recent Music: The Cure re-issues, Radio Birdman, Devo (there's so much more than Whip It), Gary Numan

Recent other stuff: Lost

Netflix: I will be renting Fantasy Island season 1 for nostalgic purposes. I have a feeling it is bad...but I need proof.
