Day 1,576:

Day 1,576:

Today was an odd day. It was odd in the sense that I have a hard time accounting for all of it 😛 It was one of those days that feels like it had several distinct parts to it, even though I was home for all of it. Woke up late, which is part of why it felt so weird....

2018 Movie #11: Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri

2018 Movie #11: Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri

I had the pleasure of watching this with my dear friend Kerry Kleiman in advance of the Oscars, and we both appreciated it to varying degrees - her, I daresay, more than I. Strong cast, talented writing and direction...but the culmination lacking in the end, perhaps?...

Day 1,575: Le Qwik

Quick one tonight, alas, because it's almost 2am 😛 Had a nice day off. Did a list of all the shit I need to do in the next week or so. Got some work done. Still have a ton to do...but at least it's all organized now. And I still think I'm going to take the weekend...

Day 1,574: When it rains

Day 1,574: When it rains

It rained tonight in LA. I just took the pups out for nighttime pees, and the ground was all covered in the wet. Both Cooper and Coco took two or three steps outside and were like "nooooope." Upside: they did their business super fast. I took the day off today except...

Day 1,573: Hooooommmmeeeeee

Day 1,573: Hooooommmmeeeeee

OMG you guys... It is SO NICE to be home 🙂 There's nothin like your own bed, you know? Of course you do. I missed the pups, I missed the Ho, I missed my pillow and my sheets. I missed it all 🙂 What a great, great conference. Once again, I return home feeling...

2018 Movie #10: Kingsman: The Golden Circle

2018 Movie #10: Kingsman: The Golden Circle

It was my impression that the first Kingsman movie wasn't exactly *universally* loved--I thought it was better than I'd anticipated, myself--but it was obviously successful enough that they greenlit a sequel. I have mixed thoughts on the result! Let's dive in,...

Day 1,572: Smarter Artists II: Electric Boogaloo

Day 1,572: Smarter Artists II: Electric Boogaloo

Day two, the final day, of the Smarter Artists Summit has come and gone. It was dope, guys. Very happy with my experience at this conference, super happy with all my new writer friends, and damnit, it sucks to be saying bye to them all. I had a really, really good...

Day 1,571: Smarter Artists

Day One of the Smarter Artists Summit. I met *a lot* of people today, and it was glorious. I'm gonna have so many writer friend peeps after this convention, it's gonna be dope 😛 Having a tribe of fellow writers is actually one of my BIG goals this year. When I was...

Day 1,571: Austin, yo

Day 1,571: Austin, yo

I'm in Austin for the first time in...25 years? Something like that. I think it was 1993 the last time I was here, so yeah, that's 25 freaking years. Good lord. Time flies. Except that it doesn't, because in this case, 25 years feels like a lifetime ago 😛 I'm here...

Day 1,570: A perfect day off

Day 1,570: A perfect day off

Writing this one a bit early tonight! 😛 It's an early morning to the airport, that's why. I'm off to Austin for the Smarter Artists Summit, a two-day conference for indie authors. I'm excited to go! It was around this time last year that I first heard about it, and...
