Pulp Muppets

Tuesday, November 27th, 2007

I love this video because it combines my fondness for both Muppets and Pulp Fiction into a swirling mass of pop culture fun. And the fact that they leave Eric Stoltz as a human instead of Muppet-izing him is hilarious.

Favorite songs #4

Thursday, November 22nd, 2007

A new favorite song from my favorite group, the Foo Fighters are arguably one of the most consistently kick-ass bands around today. Their kick-ass nature is due (IMNSHO) pretty much in its entirety to frontman Dave Grohl. My two degree's of seperation from Mr. Dave is the fact that my ...

The “Half Plus Seven” rule.

Wednesday, November 21st, 2007

I've never heard of this before today, but a friend sent me an IM earlier that read (paraphrased): SP: Have you ever heard of this rule? The "Half Plus Seven" rule states that attraction to someone who is younger than half your age plus seven years is creepy. ME: Never. So ...

Favorite songs #3

Tuesday, November 20th, 2007

When the movie "Wild at Heart" came out it was huge within the group of friends that I had while Sub School in Groton Connecticut, so the song "Wicked Game" became an instant classic in my heart and mind. Chris Isaak has such an amazing voice, Helena Christiansen is bewitching, ...

What’s my first screenplay about?

Monday, November 19th, 2007

"A neurotic father goes on a wild goose chase as he secretly follows his 16 year-old daughter on her first date." That's my first-draft logline for my first screenplay, a family comedy entitled "First Date". And while it's not necessarily the opener I'd use to pitch to a producer right now, ...

Favorite songs #2

Saturday, November 17th, 2007

I don't know why I love it so much, but something really resonates within me whenever I hear this song. Maybe because it reminds me of early Smashing Pumpkins (and I love their first CD), or maybe there's a little more emo in me than I realize. Regardless of the ...

Favorite songs #1

Thursday, November 15th, 2007

Though not in any particular order, I thought it'd be a good way for people to get to know my and my musical preferences by linking videos to songs that I enjoy. Here's one from Morrissey, "Irish Blood, English Heart":

I’ve started a new writing project.

Wednesday, November 14th, 2007

Ever since I was in Junior High I've wanted to be a writer. I fell in love with books in Elementary school, but not until I moved to Maryland in the early-to-mid 1980's did I think about becoming a writer as a career choice. As luck would have it, however, ...

What the heck is going on here?

Tuesday, November 13th, 2007

I'm so busy during the course of a normal day that I tend to not post here, even if I want to. I need to stop that. Instead of making excuses I'll be taking pertinent posts from my offline journals, notes, etc. as well as my old website(s) and putting ...

The first of many baby teeth to go.

Thursday, November 8th, 2007

Evan lost his first baby tooth today. He and I were working on loosening it up a bit when one push of the tooth jarred it almost all the way out. Or what we thought was almost. In fact, it must've been kept in by suction or something, because (thinking ...
