Damn. Another relationship ended. What's worse is this one ended with both of us being really into each other, perfect for each other, except for one thing. She decided she wants kids, I don't. So, the parting of our ways is in effect. I respect her for being honest with me with her decision early in the relationship. We've been dating for like three months....

My baby is gone!
My baby being my '65 Beetle. Bought her ten years ago in Boston and drove her all the way to HelL.A.
She served me well. But now that I've finished my '66 restoration, it was time to let her go.
Thankfully, some nice young cats from Corona picked her up and are going to treat her right.
Still sad to see...

Captain and Casey Season three scripts are done! Happy times. Glad to get back to my screenplay. Although taking a job that pays you to write never hurts.
Off to the set in a few. They're using my Beetle for a scene today. If you haven't seen it, check out my pics! She's a beauty.
And Danny Way and Jason Lee are coming in tomorrow....

Aaargh. This heat is making my allergies go insane!
Took some magnolia flower. Waiting for it to kick in for some relief.
Eh, I'll survive. Sniffle, sniffle.
Got to do some clean up work on my '65 Beetle. Alas, it is time to sell the ole gal now that the '66 is done.
Had my '65 for ten years. Drove it all the way out...

Gosh darn stupid cheap parts. Had to put a fuel regulator in my bug. Dual Kadrons apparently need only 1.5psi of fuel to run efficiently.
Anyway, bought a regulator at PepBoys and next thing I know, my beauty's laying down by UCLA. Damn regulator was junk.
No matter, just going to return it. Ordered a Holley Red from LowBugget. Will have it on Monday.

Not much new to report. Been doing somem writing on the skate shows. Found out my buddy's show got picked up on Fox for the Fall. Apparently I'm in the running for a writing gig on it if there's any money left for a baby writer like me. For the non-industry peeps, that just means I'm new to the sitcom staff writer position, so of...

Ah, better days. My new carburetors came in. I skated for like two hours in ninety degree heat. Landed a few new tricks. Good times.
Hot as hell here in L.A. today. Looks like we've found summer early.
Time to go lay on the cool concrete of my garage and do a tune up and change out those carbs! Grrrrrr!

Blah! I fucked up on a job I'm working on. Didn't tripple proof the script. One of the producers caught a misspelled name. No show stopper, but I hat fucking shit up or letting people down. I know I can't beat myself up too much, just have to make sure it doesn't happen again. I'll be happy if BAD GIRL'S GUIDE gets picked up for...

The workmen continue. Having to get up everyday at eight in the morning ain't easy when you're working from home. I'm kind of used to rolling out of bed at ten. Now I've got like three extra hours to get stuff done, but now I'm running out of stuff to do!
The schedule usually goes like so.
Wake up, let the workers in.
Make breakfast...

Ah, work in progress. Ceilings are patched, ready to be painted. Tile has bee regrouted. Only painting left. Tomorrow they will hopefully finish.
Rained today. Probably a good thing. I couldn't skate. But apparently I need my rest. Doc put me on some antibiotics to help me kick this sinus infections. Aaaachooo!

Home Improvement.
Finally after years of neglect, the owners of my apartment are fixing some shit. Redoing the ceilings, re-grouting the baths, and replacing the guts of the toilet tank so it stops running!
If this trend continues, they'll hopefully replace the kitchen countertop as well.
I can't complain too much. I mean I live in a 1,600 square foot loft space in Los Angeles...
