09.28.07maybe too quick to judgeI was reading over my post from yesterday and I realized I was being a bit too judgmental. Not about the entertainment industry (that's still pretty much evil), but about the people in it. People are hardly ever their best at work. Just because a celeb puts off a negative vibe wrapped in common courtesy doesn't necessarily mean that they are a sad, lonely person, but that maybe they have a case of the "Mondays". I rarely am my best self at work, after all. That being said, up-and-coming R&B singers are walking parodies of themselves. That is all.

09.27.07what do you do when you hate your own industry?I really kind of do. I hate what it does to the people who work in it. I hate what can do to the people who watch it. The one thing I don't hate (sometimes) is the end product. I love "Heroes", "Lost", and "24" has its moments. I love watching a really good movie from Netflix. But I hate seeing how many people smoke in LA because they either want to stay thin just in case they get a part (which they won't), or because they work in production and the stress of ...

09.27.07i can say that, right?The problem with having a blog on the internet (where else would you have one?) is that it's just so darn...public. I get home in the evenings and (aside from being exhausted), I realize that most of the things I could write about, I can't write about. I make it a habit about not blogging about work. There is just too many things that could go horribly wrong. It makes it difficult, though when all I do is work. There isn't really any "other" stuff to write about. I'm still alive.

09.16.07a week in the lifeI really, really meant to update this more frequently, but this has been quite the week of business with work and such. (Plus it wasn't until this morning that I realized just how long I've been here). Sadly, I think I have decided that I don't really like LA. Sacrilege, I know. I can't even really explain it. When I went to New York, it was crowded, dirty, and I loved every minute of it. Hollywood is cleanish (except the air), weather is great, people are nice, but if feel like I am suffocating. It makes sense, ...

09.11.07i’ve arrived…well, i’ve gotten here anywayAfter driving for hours without seeing anything in the Mojave Desert (seriously), I thundered down the mountains in the old Grand Cherokee and rolled into Los Angeles. The GPS was congenial and as I wound my way around the streets of Burbank, I realized that Warner Brothers studios was right ahead of me. Warner Brothers. I turned right. I drove up the canyon and say Universal City. As in NBC Universal. Universal studios. Wow. I unpacked my bags (sort of) in our apartment in the Hollywood Hills and spent most of the evening preparing script cards for the production meeting the ...
