I’m glad solvang exists. It’s a monument of cottage core, well made pastries and warm customer service. In a world where charm is undervalued, a trip to solvang will always restore my hope

Went to the new #PasekandPaul musical Lyle Lyle crocodile yesterday. Am I 28 yrs older than the target demo? Yep. Did I love it. Yep. A triumph of tight writing, wit, tunes, joyful performances and fun visuals. It runs all month at the colony theater in Burbank. See it even if you don’t have kids

I use clip art to differentiate drafts when I’m working on a script. it’s cheesy but honestly so helpful to think “how can I reduce this story to an image” or “what icon best expresses this draft.” With this one, the Viking hat is giving camp, metal and sparse. That’s the vibe I’m going for

My niece, who is 8, was excited to show me this Lego set. She said “my mom told me you’re gay, so I imagine this is you and your apartment.” I am both incredibly touched and jealous of their aesthetic.
