09.14.07 - "Everybody Hates Chris" -- but me. I love "Chris"! And I'll be appearing (with dialog) as "Choking Man's Wife" in the upcoming episode #50, "Everybody Hates Bad Boys," which will be televised this season on The CW Network. Check www.cwtv.com/shows/everybody-hates-chris for more information.
01.24.07 - I just spent two days portraying a featured juror in two twisted courtroom scenes for the TV series, "Boston Legal." James Spader and William Shatner star, and Howard Hesseman plays the judge. The episode, titled "Fat Burner," is slated to air Feb. 13 on ABC. Check your local TV listings for details.
I'd like to meet:
You, of course!...unless you're a total psycho. (Although, you should never do anything half-assed.) And just in case there's any doubt, if you're a gal whose idea of a great profile image is a picture of your floss-clad butt crack, or you're a guy posing shirtless with the waistline of your pants, towel or loincloth hanging precariously above your junk, make no mistake, you're a psycho...not to mention, A MORON! Assuming that you can read, if this is you, please, don't even bother sending me a friend request. I'll just laugh at your pathetic stupidity, as I hit "DENY."
NOTE: Because I do not want to be responsible for the corruption of impressionable young minds, I will not add minors. If you are an adult posing as a minor, you need to message me BEFORE sending me a friend request. (You also need to get your head examined.)
I joined MySpace mainly to network with creative, talented, artistic, funny, witty and/or intelligent individuals and professionals working in--as well as fans and supporters of--the arts, whether it be filmmaking, painting, drawing, theater, stand-up comedy, improv comedy, acting, writing, photography, music, dance, etc. It is within these fields that my passions lie, so it is from these common interests that I hope to gather MySpace friends.
By the way, with regard to comments, I don't know what my "friends" are talking about. ADD is not contagious. You'd think they'd know that. Yet, not only are they happy about having the condition, they keep thanking me for it! I feel undeserving of so much gratitude.

Hugh can drive and he can't garden to save his life. He's got the whole "being Japanese" thing all wrong -- although, with him at the wheel, we have yet to make it to the Palm Springs tram, despite numerous attempts. (There may be hope for his heritage yet.) Once, we set out for the tram and wound up in San Francisco. Another time, we landed at The Chinese Theatre in Hollywood where a busload of Asian tourists tried to kidnap him, mistaking him for one of them. It could've been due to the fact that he believes that cameras are a fashion accessory. Hugh not only wears cameras, he eats, sleeps, thinks, lives and breathes them. In fact, he is one of the best photogs and videographers I know. Do you like pretty pictures and funny movies? If so, take a look at Hugh's MySpace profile; and, while you're there, send him a friend request. Just don't ask him for directions to the tram. If that's what that sea lion is doing, it's going to be traveling by way of The Cape.
Heroes:
First, make the dressing. In a small cruet, combine: c. red wine vinegar, 1 t. dried oregano, t. dried mustard, a pinch of salt (optional), freshly ground pepper to taste and c. extra virgin olive oil. Then, take a loaf of freshly baked Italian bread (about 24 in. long), cut it in half lengthwise and layer one half of the bread with the following: 5 oz. each of thinly sliced salami, capicola, cotto salami, mortadella and provolone; 2 c. finely shredded iceberg lettuce, c. seeded and chopped cherry peppers, c. seeded and chopped pepperoncini peppers, and 4 tomatoes thinly sliced. Finish it with the desired amount of dressing (shake well before pouring) and top it with the remaining half of bread. Takes about 20 min. to prepare and makes 1 to 6 servings, depending on how much of a piggy you are. Now, that's a "hero"!
