In an odd assortment of synchronicity, I was recently having conversations about both Cowboy Bebop and Keanu Reeves as an actor, albeit not linked conversations. Tonight, the Twitterverse is trending Cowboy Bebop hard. The talk of the digital town appears to be that Keanu Reeves is attached to possibly play Spike Siegel in a live […]
Tonight, Dita Von Teese is gracing CBS with her lovely self on CSI: Crime Scene investigation. She plays the love interest for Eric Szmanda’s character Greg Sanders. The episode is called A Kiss Before Frying and makes good use of Dita’s retro charms, with a combination of sexy burlesque performance interludes and riffs on classic […]
I’m not the biggest fan of New Years parties. I like to use the changing of the year as an opportunity to reflect on the past year, what I am happy about, and what I wish would be better. I do make New Years resolutions and I like that they help keep me on track […]

Forrest Black and I spent much of the evening chatting with them about cooking. Larry, Dave, Forrest, and I are all nouveau homemakers, so […]
If you are in Los Angeles and looking for something to do tonight (or just interested in stalking me), I plan to be at the BOOM Comics holiday party at Meltdown Comics this evening. Beforehand, I am going to learn to make red velvet cake because it is Forrest Black’s birthday. Red velvet cake has […]
My freezer is approximately half full of frozen tentacles. To put this in perspective, I have a really huge freezer. I like to make homemade frozen dinners and generally have around thirty to fifty of them in there at any given time. Plus ice, the occasional pizza, and all the usual freezer items. And I […]
