Trying not to be triggered by the new Battlefield battle royale mode that occurs in a Southern California map that is literally surrounded by a shrinking circle of fire. Of course I’ll play it.

Thanks for the repost, Brian, otherwise I wouldn’t have known it was back on Tubi. My first written episode of TV, with guest star George Lazenby. Also see Brad Pitt, Mariska Hargitay, and many more…

And they changed the thumbnail to feature the fact that my first TV episode starred…. James Bond.

Best final scene of any show -- even better than Six Feet Under.

I decided to use the new Alexa+ beta AI. It’s missing lot of stuff and is overly complimentary. It also THINKS I’M DEAD?!? (“Was,” “leaves a legacy,” etc.). At least it doesn’t think I’m MechaHitler.

To continue a theme…

One might ask why this old succulent is outside my front door. My late mother gave it to me for my first apartment after college in the 80’s. We have both been transplanted over the years and grown old and decrepit together.

In one of our rare instances of good timing, we installed solar+batteries last year. Now rebates are going away early because no promise from Washington is worth the paper it’s written on. Our power is out as I type, but we’re lucky to have backup.

"It will cook down," she said. And it did! But it still looked like someone dumped a lawn mower into my pasta sauce.

Our Pad O’ Guys article just came out on actual paper in the Daily Bruin PRIME magazine which is available in kiosks at UCLA. If you’re there, grab me some copies. There’s a shocking young/old opposite-page picture comparison of me.

What do the writers of Demolition Man, Lethal Weapon, Bill and Ted, The Monster Squad, Meet the Parents and Charlie’s Angels all have in common? A house, lots of pizza and, most importantly, friendship.

Hey, #ScriptSky people! Here's a new article about me and my friends, some of whom you've probably heard of before. A small piece of Hollywood history. I'm new around here, so consider this an introduction!

To those who know me and, mostly likely, those who don't, here is an article about my old gang who has and still does a lot of movie and TV stuff. A brilliantly written piece of Hollywood history that is still in progress!
