Sometimes blogging bears fruit. For example, Mary Musolino and Pete Stiles (from Australia!!!) worked with Gatecrasher Media to adapt of my monologues into this short film. Enjoy.
So I spent the weekend at a good friend’s wedding in Yosemite. After a few hours of tutoring on Thursday, I made the drive up, leaving Los Angeles at precisely the wrong time. Not that there’s a right time to get stuck behind an accident in L.A., but the beginning of a summer holiday [...]
Call them “skits.”
Alas, I must report the death of my Siamese fighting fish, Studebaker. Some of us remember Studebaker as the co-star of a little comedy short we shot back in May. Most of us just know him as a free spirit too stupid not to attack his own reflection. It seems like only months ago that [...]
For some reason, my My Name Is Earl spec has been giving me all kinds of problems. It’s been the top priority for me, writing-wise, for weeks now, and I’m nowhere. Haven’t been able to break the story. This normally doesn’t happen to me. Normally I get an idea, then I watch the show over [...]
I had Harry Potter tickets for last night, and was really looking forward to seeing film number five. Leading up to the release of a Harry Potter book, it has always been my tradition to re-read the preceding books, or at least the preceding several. This time around I opted to watch all the movies, [...]
Once, back when I was producing sketch comedy in Seattle, I started doing some research into adding an L.A. show onto a tour we were prepping. I came across several online resources, including one web site that detailed the capacity, price, and contact information for numerous theater spaces across the city. How magnificent! How easy [...]
So I just left messages and sent e-mails telling people the results after the comedy group auditions on Sunday. Overall the event went well, and it was a super-tough decision because everyone was awesome. And I ain’t just saying that. In the end, the writers decided to represent, and the actors decided to flake. Not [...]
I have always been loathe to let opportunities pass. My philosophy has always been that one should do as much as possible, and there’s usually always time for one more commitment. A person can always finish everything if he just sleeps a little less. It turns out that last statement is not true. Sadly, as [...]
The odds of me finishing a My Name Is Earl spec before the deadline for the Disney Fellowship have gone from slim to sliver, as my planned week of time off from everything came crashing down around me today. I was being good about it, too. I got up early Sunday, trekked to Denny’s, and [...]
School is out, and so I have no tutoring. (I start back doing some summer stuff in a week, but for now, nothing.) Plus, there are no web jobs on my to-do list at the moment. Plus, invitations for the sketch troupe audition have been sent. I have to get ready for Sunday’s gathering, but [...]
My plans to dominate the universe through online sketch comedy progress steadily onward. At times I feel like my overall strategy is about as advanced as that of the Underpants Gnomes. (Step 1. Collect underpants. Step 2. ??? Step 3. Profit!) But then I calmly remind myself that I’ve done this whole sketch comedy thing [...]
