If you haven't seen "Me and You and Everyone We Know" you won't get the above. Solution: Go and see it. It's great!
If you have... well, you get it. So laugh about the poop!

Okay, we've officially reached insanity in this country.
I'm sitting here, working on my laptop with the Simpsons on in the background and what do I hear before the show starts?
A disclaimer stating that "This episode addresses same sex marriages, viewer discretion is advised"
What the fuck is that?
God damn Rupert Murdock and his religious cronies! It's the fucking Simpsons!
This has gotten...

Been stressin lately. Too much craziness going on and not enough hours to get it all done. That's what happens I guess when you work twelve hours a day.
Job's fun, though. Getting as much stuff in as producer level writers.
I'm up for a full time writing gig on a Nickelodeon show. Should know by mid August if I got it. Keep them fingers...

Arghh, the engine drama continues. People just don't make good parts like they used to.
Now it seems that the bore in my trans is warn and I have to switch to a self-supporting starter. Madness I tell you, madness.
I'm so fricking annoyed with the whole thing. I feel bad for my car. She's perfection. the engine runs awesome, she looks and rides like...

Back to work. Seeming to have gotten used to the hours again. Most days have been eight hours, but we had a couple of ten hour days. Getting geared up for the nice 12 to 20 hour days that always come working with sitcoms.
Not so bad though. Pay's good, I'm getting script and as of Monday I've got an office. Sweet. Nothing like a...

Happy 4th of July!
This day always makes me miss my home of Boston. If you haven't experienced the 4th in Boston, you haven't experienced 4th of July. Nevermind the insane hourlong fireworks display and the amazing Boston Pops playing at the Hatch Shell, just the feeling of history and pride that run through that town is what makes it. Trust me, try it, you'll...

All I can say is if you're building a VW, don't buy from United!
Worst engine builders I've ever come across. First one I bought from them ran okay, hot on the highway, which I blamed on flat spots with the carb.
Went to dual carbs, custom designed for my engine. Same problem. Hmm, maybe the engine's damaged from the old carbs.
Nope, damaged from...

I met the woman of my dreams tonight. Charming, smart, driven, talented, gorgeous. One bump in the road. She's gay. Always something, huh?
I went to a ladies' bar with a bi friend of mine. Figured I'd have a few drinks, see some of her friends I haven't seen in a while and enjoy beingout.
I definitely enjoyed it. Lots of cool people and lots...

Okay, so remember the job I turned down yesterday? Apparently I'm a wanted man.
The producer called me back today and made me an offer I couldn't turn down. He worked really hard to get me what I wanted and has my back all the way apparently. I mean, the guy went to Warren Littlefield and Paramount and got me a guarenteed script assignment! M.O....

Weird.
That's how it feels. I turned down a job today. Haven't done that in a while. Well, ever.
I'm getting by on the freelance writing jobs I've been doing. Didn't want to go back to the writer's assistant thing. Just can't do it. Put in too many years and now that I've had a taste, ain't no way I could suck it up.
Guess...

The Monarch's been out of touch. Been installing a new engine. Greasy mess it be. But this engine will allow me to rule the world! Okay, maybe not, but it will run like a dream when I'm done with it. It will I tell you!

The pictures are up!
Yes, the many pics of lovely VWs I took at the 2005 VW Classic are up on my website. Check them out!
