Musings and ramblings from Los Angeles based television writer/producer. Television, religion, sex, death, food, movies, shopping, and whatever else pops into my head.

Debbie made it down from Idaho for the big day! I was psyched to see her - haven't seen her since 1993!

Brian's Birthday

Brian's birthday! Headed out to a Mexican place in Manhattan Beach. There were at least a half-dozen Nintendo DS systems there... yes, grown adults playing video games all night long. I think someone had a baby at the other end of the table which offers a strange dichotomy.

Too engrossed to even drink


Video games on one end, baby-lovers on the other


Brian and his new pet rock, Billy


We ate, now back to the gaming


Kimmy hardly even stopped to eat


What?? You mean I LOST a round of Tetris??

The Accuracy Project

I worked a few days on set for a friend of mine, helping with a pilot he is shooting. I love love love working on set, despite long hours and lots of sun and heat. The shoot went really well - almost no problems whatsoever. Here are a few select photos from Day 2:

Trying to keep our talent shaded


Every show needs cute girls


I can't believe we wore the same outfit!


Maybe I should put on this T-shirt instead

Tricia's Visit - Day 3 & 4

Tricia's favorite food is Mexican food. Where can you get better Mexican food than Los Angeles? so we started out at Las Fuentes in Reseda.

After lunch we headed out to do the tourist thing in Hollywood. First, Hollywood & Highland.

I love taking photos of people taking photos. Call me a whore for post-modernism.


Tricia needed sunglasses. I suggested these.


She went with something a little less Elton John


Next we hit up a few cheesy souvenir shops. This bit of nihilistic graffiti was found on the floor of one of those shops:


Who knew Mountain Dew was so fun?


Cheeky souvenirs


Of course, the were holding the "Beerfest" premiere at Graumann's, so we couldn't get into the forecourt


This was as close as we could get:


I can name at least two things wrong with this tour company name


After Hollywood & Highland, we drove up into Hollywoodland to look at houses and take photos of the Hollywood sign. And I got to teach Tricia about "gun n' run" shooting


We drove through Beverly Hills to look at more mansions, then it was time for dinner at The Stinking Rose, where they season their garlic with food.

In the ladies lounge, we found this charming statue:


Tricia was excited - she wants a baby.


Looks pretty comfortable, right?


A kiss for good luck


I avoided the fertility god and instead played sultry on the velvet chaise


Tricia, David, and a lot of garlic


The girls


The four of us, plus the valet guy's thumb


On their last day in town, we only had time for lunch. They had never had Cuban food, so we went to El Rincon in Culver City, a fantastic little Cuban place (if you have only ever eaten at Versailles, you have not eaten Cuban food).

So this was our last shot of the weekend:

Tricia's Visit - Day 2

Our day started with brunch at the Daily Grill. Then Tricia and I split off from Dave. The girls went to the spa, and Dave went to the Reagan Library. sorry kids, no photos from the spa!

After that we met back up with Tim and had dinner at Gladstone's on the beach. Weirdly, I think that this is the first time I have actually walked on the beach since returning from the Bahamas, which was a year ago.

Tricia and the ocean!

More beach

Only Tim would sit in the sand in brand new pants and fancy boots.


From here to eternity


Oooh, pretty
