PNWA Conference
I just got back from attending the very organized PNWA conference aka Pacific Northwest Writers Association Conference in Sea-tac. At the last minute Tom Skerritt could not attend his panel, so Wally Lane and Wash Phillips asked if I'd be the panel moderator for a motley crew of replacements. Imagine the look of disappointment on [...]
E!/Forbes Richest Women in Entertainment
Check this out. Note where the movie starts are compared to the recording artists. Many of these folks have been in films, but I'm only going to bold out all the "real" actors. E! and Forbes 10 Richest Women in Entertainment: 20 - $45m - Renee Zellweger 19 - $60m - Christina Aguilera 18 - $60m - Nicole Kidman 17 - $65m - Ellen 16 - [...]
Hancock
Just got back from seeing Hancock down at the Oak Tree. I love living five minutes walking distance from a theater. No spoilers here. I hate that. Will Smith was a different Will Smith--fully transformed from nice guy, leading man to alcoholic anti-hero. We bought it, big time. As usual, Peter Berg's direction was excellent (see The [...]
Pilar Alessandra Recap
I heart Pilar. OK, I don't, but I have a big crush on the lady. She is exactly how she is on her podcasts. Not only is she super down-to-earth and sweet as can be, but she really loves what she does. Our interview session Friday night went very well. Despite having quit drinking coffee this week and suffering from a bout of food [...]
Click and Clack Cartoon
The in-laws and I just watched one of the worst things I've ever seen--PBS's Click and Clack's As The Wrench Turns. They should have named it As The Stomach Turns. OK, that's not that funny, but neither is the show. They took what was one of my favorite radio shows (Car Talk) and made a mockery of it in its first two episodes. Did I mention [...]
Pilar Alessandra. Woodywoo!
On a positive note, I am ecstatic that Pilar Alessandra is coming up from LA next weekend. As Brando would say, "Woodywoo!" That's his "hot girl" bark. No, really it is. We are so lucky to have someone of her caliber conduct one of her workshops for an extremely affordable fee. For those of you who are vacillating about attending the [...]
All Indians Look The Same / Girl 27
Just got back from another Obama planning meeting for my district. Sadly, somebody mistook me for one of the OTHER Indian guys who volunteers on the campaign. Not the first time that's happened in my life, so I took pity on the guy. If I had been in a bad mood I would asked if "All us Indian guys look the same to you?" There's nothing [...]
