Writer Extraordinaire

Today a new sun rises for me; everything lives, everything is animated, everything seems to speak to me of my passion, everything invites me to cherish it.

Star Gazing

Wednesday, November 21st, 2007

Okay, TOTALLY got star struck again today.  Yeah, I saw Charles “Chip” Esten (he of ‘Whose Line Is It Anyway?’ fame) on the lot today and literally stopped in the middle of the street to exclaim loudly and on my microphone, “It’s CHIP!!!  It’s Chip from ‘Whose Line!!’  I LOVED him on that show!!”  I [...]

Strike Update

Sunday, November 18th, 2007

According to the Hollywood Reporter, the writers’ strike is still on.
But the good news is, negotiations are scheduled to resume on November 26th.
Originally, studios were refusing to continue negotiations unless the writers went back to work, but it looks like they changed their minds on that point.
And I think it’s a really good idea that [...]

Better Every Week

Tuesday, November 13th, 2007

I finally feel like Chuck has found its groove.
Tonight’s episode of Chuck was really really good, and I’m not just saying that. It had more gravitas than usual, and it strengthened bonds between characters. Maybe this whole big sister/little brother thing just really hits home for me, but I LOVE when Chuck and [...]

Strike

Friday, November 9th, 2007

Most days in Tinsel Town, the word “strike” simply means that you’re done filming and you’re taking down the set.
But this past week, “strike” has meant something entirely different.
The Writers Guild of America has gone on strike. Stages have gone dark, things are a bit moody on the lot, and every time I drive [...]

More Pictures

Thursday, November 8th, 2007

Here are some more pictures of Chuck. Sorry they aren’t very good ones, but she just really won’t sit still long enough to get a good picture!
Really, you should just come meet her in person.  And if you click on the pictures, you can see the full size.  Sorry they’re blurry.

This is my cat, Chuck. She is only three months old. I just got her today. If you want to come meet her, just let me know! She is a very cool cat.
Wouldn’t it be cool if my Chuck met this Chuck?
How ’bout it, Zachary Levi? Any time [...]

Things I Learned

Sunday, November 4th, 2007

Things I learned today (okay, technically yesterday):

Girls aren’t very good at intramural softball; hungover guys, however, are.
Driving down the wrong side of the street into oncoming traffic, even if only for a few feet, scares people (sorry, Chris!).
Wheelchairs should not be used for flying.
It is possible to have a dance party while riding the Space [...]
