I've done enough PowerPoint tonight. It's time to see what kind of martini they'll pour for me at my local Irish bar...

I actually enjoy looking through stock still photography and stock video. It's fun to see what other people do - and reward them for it!

Ever been at a shoot where 4:30PM should be 1:30PM? What's that? You say that's every shoot? I see!

I think it's okay to be in bed before 9. And it's okay to turn out the lights. And it's okay to be drowsy. And it's okay to... to...

Kent and I are at Grand Lake for Inglourious Nasterds.

Dinner at my fave bistro. Warm apple galette w/brown butter ice cream for dessert! I actually enjoy eating alone. I know. I'm a hermit!

Lamely, I just discovered Pandora. Entered Kiss for favorite band. Now, it's AC/DC, Van Halen, G&R, Metallica... This is frickin' awesome.

One of those days where I'm juggling cracks and one slips through the balls in a spoonerized version of phetamorical life-work-stuff...

Every day is a good day for samosas, extra trash pick-up, and opera. Not necessarily in that order.

Natalie Coughlin... wow! She is so... hot! When did that happen? Why wasn't I notified?

I love Ken Howard's line: "I'll make my speech short in the hope I won't be interrupted by a congressman or a rapper."

Headed to 'Savor the Season,' a lunch fundraiser for the Alameda County Community Food Bank. Food, Wine, Raiders. Oh, wait, Raiders in KC!

I'm hoping today is one of the best EVER to feel the grass of Big Phone Park beneath my bare feet and listen to Il Trovatore...

As 'The Guiding Light' fades, I feel a small, sad disconnection from the past. 72 years of writing, acting, producing... ending.

In breaking sports news, Nancy & Sluggo has made the playoffs. Playoff at 7:40 tonight, San Pablo Park, Berkeley. Who knew? http://ping.fm/aEGpr

Sitting at the Viceroy waiting for Karen and Jim. Going to visit Bruce. Meanwhile, coffee, pita, and hummus. Yum!

Karen and her new Prius!

The LA life tonight. Lovely sunset. Soon, dinner at Madeleine's Bistro. Tomorrow, the Getty. (Finally.)

Into the cockpit of the hybrid. Heading to LA. "American Idiot" in position one of drive-time album lineup.

How is it that no one told me what a trip he is - was - this Jeff Buckley fellow? Dude was a genius singer.

Going to the first-ever 4:30 class at Front Street Yoga! http://ping.fm/YJZLR

Spare-the-air day here in Bay Area. Coming across Richmond Bridge, the bay looks like glass. Ships' wakes all stretch for a half-mile.

I believe I have solved my double-posting issues. It was the Twitter application on Facebook, I think. We'll find out.

I am trying to figure out why, sometimes, my status updates get posted twice. Is it Ping? Twitter settings? Facebook? Dunno. Need science.

One of those days where work and creative commitments conflict with all possible yoga classes. Can I do an hour on the floor by myself...?

Saw Madison Bumgarner, 20 years and 38 days old, in his Major League debut. He's one to watch. Woulda been sweet if G-men held on to win...

I love that both SFMOMA and the SF Giants have free public wireless, and that I am visiting both today. But, sigh - no Freak!

Last night, my head thought "Staple Singers" and my mouth said "Pointer Sisters." Also, it is the *lion* on the flag of India...

It's almost time for the pub quiz at the Albatross, when I will be reminded, yet again and indisputably, how ignorant I really am.

Just saw 'District 9,' which is a good old-fashioned science-fiction action picture with some thinkin' thrown in.

Sitting at my fave Grand Lake district bistro, waiting for dinner. So quiet. So nice!

I have a tiny cold. I'm hoping a trip to the gym for a little workout and a dainty sweat will help. Of course, some say I'm beyond help...

There is no one in Oakland, except for me and a few meter maids, what with the extended meter revenue hours. Let's party, folks!

I'm gonna kick off Labor Day weekend by going to the gym right now, at 5 o'clock, figuring everyone else is out of town!

Today: a morning run with Ernie, a gym workout, and then noon yoga. Tomorrow: lots of Alleve. Or maybe some bootleg Oxycontin?

I am feeling nostalgic about nothing in particular and everything in general. Sometimes, I am this way. Other times, I am asleep...

I'm house-sitting - a lovely way to reconnect with environment - not big E environment, but how I personally exist (no big E there, either).

We lost 9-6 last night to the 1st-place team, but we went into the last inning down by 7, scored 4, and brought the tying run to the plate!

Let me say Kim "Skipper" Corbin is an amazing woman who is collaborating with me on a film to bring skipping to the masses. There - done!
