About Me

Okay, listen. I am not looking to hook up with anyone. I am not interested in starting an e-mail relationship. Do not send me messages asking me to model, chat, or endorse you or your site in any way.

Unless I find your cause or your music interesting, I will not go to your events or leave you messages proclaiming my support.

I will, however, shower you with praise if your show, your music, or your cause makes me stand up and say, "Bravo!" So mean something, do something, be something...and then let me cheer you on.

My Interests

Life. Living well and fully.

Music:

The good stuff.

Movies:

Films with characters who come alive or stories that touch my soul or dialogue that makes me think or laugh or snicker or cry.

Television:

Stuff you probably don't watch.

Books:

Anything and everything that can show me how to create a better story or character or plot or world.

Heroes:

The people who taught me the importance of intelligence and wit, integrity and strength, beauty and love.

My Blog

Cookie Monster!

A few months ago, I hit a snag with the baking thing.  I couldn't perfect my cheesecake recipe.  I ran out of inspiration, got stuck in a rut using only my tried-and-true recipes.  And ...

Spicy chocolate!

I have a new favorite band, and they're in town recording a record.  The Dark Knight just happens to be their all-knowing A&R dude, so I decided to show some love by sending over some brownie...

Ladies' lunch

I've spent the better part of my life lunching.  In high school, it was munching on BD's fries drenched in mustard as he pretended to edit the sports section of our paper.  In college, it wa...

I <3 NY...BBQ

On the corner of La Brea and 9th, there once stood a legendary BBQ joint called Greece's.  I never had the chance to eat there, and when it closed, I regretted those days I drove past with a full...

BBQ bites

With all the ranting I do about bad barbecue in this city, I think it's only fair that I mention some of my favorite barbecue joints, too.  Every culture has barbecue, in some form or other: ...

Tragically tasteless

The things I do in the name of science. In search of the ultimate BBQ and sauce recipe, I struck out on my own and blindly tried a new barbecue restaurant in Culver City. I wandered in with no prior k...

Toast-ed

Sometimes you wake up, slightly hungover and bleary-eyed, and think to yourself, "What would Paris do?" This is what she, or any near-starlet, would do: crawl to the shower, throw on her most comfy sk...

Lucky in lunch

Brie and I are definitely ladies who lunch well. One of our favorite places to grab a bite and take a mental siesta is Grub, nestled among Hollywood production offices south of Santa Monica Blvd. A c...
