Happened to catch a rerun of a 2001 episode of This American Life entitled Superpowers on the local NPR station last Friday. It makes an interesting jumping-off point for a discussion I’m determined to have with myself on this blog, regardless of whether any of you are especially interested. (Yes, it’s the latest in a […]

WB Censors Its Own Drama for Fear of F.C.C. Fines – New York Times (Registration on the New York Times site is required to read this article. It’s free.) President Prissy-Poo and his FCC — I’ll refer to them collectively as “Friends of Jesus’s Loin Cloth” in the future — have now taken the chilling […]

Just finished the dialogue script for Hard Time: Season 2 #6. It’s a deadly serious turning point for Ethan — his last such, I guess — and one of the funniest stories I’ve worked on in years. I think Mary feels the same way. We loved this issue.  Here’s hoping you folks can deal with […]

If you’ve seen the latest Previews, you already know Hard Time: Season 2 has been cancelled. Mary and I are currently finishing work on issues 6 and 7. I’ll have a lot more to say on the subject in the next couple of days, but I want to make one thing absolutely clear right now: […]

No, that’s not quite right… What actually happened was, *they* moved me to the new apartment while I, for health reasons, mostly stood around and watched. Somewhere in the English language […]

Signed the lease on Friday. Mary, Bret, and I took the walk-through on Sunday. I like almost everything about the place except the green carpets. I’ve had green carpeting in my current apartment for six years. It’s supposed to be the color of life, but it just reminds me of jungle rot. Other that that, […]
