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.

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.

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.

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.

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!
