So, I'm a member of another board and a friend of mine posts a suicide note on there. She's got like 70 assorted pills and she's going to go to her favorite spot and kill herself.

Other friends see this, have no way to contact her, and get ahold of me. I only have her home number, so I call and get her mother. Of...

So, if a tree falls in the forest and no one is there to hear it, do the other trees try to help it up?

I feel sad again...

Finally saw 'Dawn of the Dead' last night. I liked it a lot. Been a long time since I've seen a movie that makes me want to write my next script. This is a very good thing.

I also found out on Friday why I should never combine large amounts of alcohol and a giant bong...it just makes me sicker than sick should be. I've...

Went and saw Nellie McKay last night at the Knitting Factory. Wow, she's great. If Tori Amos is the moody, ethereal, elder sister who listened to dad's Kate Bush albums, Nellie is the hyper-spazzy little sister who listened to mom's broadway showtunes, drawing horses on her pee-chee folders instead of fairies.

Of course that analogy was pretty weak, but I'm still working on it. She...

So, I got completely hammered last night and now have a headache. I started with margaritas...strong margaritas...then moved on to beer...lost of beer. However, I did come out ahead poker wise...second in the first round and first in the second round. Perhaps there is something to be said for being drunk while playing poker. Either way I'm up $20 today.

Now...I must shower...that usually helps...

So, the taxman cometh...and wenteth, and it turns out I don't owe anything...in fact I'm gettin $100 bucks back. My accountant is the God of Hellfire.

Thankfully, being unemployed has a few advantages and traveling has others. And now I have a job and...hell, who knows what will become of that...but for now anyway I'm styling and profiling.

Well, except for the lonely part...and the...

Tis Friday which means...nothing at this point. Playing poker and drinking heavily on Saturday night. However, must get my taxes done Saturday afternoon, which will directly effect how much I drink and smoke that night.

I'm also a member of the Twin Peaks Gazette board. People like me there, I think and I've met many of them too...unlike here, where I know no one and...

Got a new cell phone today, as well as a new haircut. Both are shiny and spikey and colorful.

Not much else happened today. I started a new script, which is actually something now that I think of it.

You'd like it. Vampires. And chicks. And vampires that are chicks. And they're pissed. I haven't even gotten to the nudity or bloodletting either. Or the...

Howdy...gosh, one would have thought after three days I'd be awash in people wanting to bask in the glow of my brilliance. Hmmm...note to self...next time light things on fire...or give money...

As for Tuesday...well...it didn't suck as bad as Monday, but it still wasn't great. And I've found it's still better to go home via Cahuanga instead of going over Beverly Glen...sigh...

I'm glad...

Wow, today was a wonderfully crappy Monday. Just when you think things may be going well...they may not. It's much better not to have to worry about those things and instead concentrate on the things that are important...like biscuits and porn.
