To The Whites Of My Eyes
To the shattered, blood-soaked whites of my eyes, I give this salute–a thank you, a ticker-tape parade of twenty-six letters arranged in pretty patterns–which are, in turn, zeros and ones arranged in pretty patterns, filaments in liquid crystal, themselves burst liquid veins in waxy casings… Obviously, I’m tired. Eight, nine, hours of staring. Click. Click. Click. A shot. A [...]

Here’s the scoop: Pastor Chris Chadwick asked me to become Media Director at Canyon Ridge Baptist Church, and I accepted. Basically, my job is to coordinate all church media: videos, sound, lighting, signage, logos, the website, tracts and brochures, powerpoint presentations, and other merchandise. It’s pretty exciting. It’s a part-time job, and is an Administrative Staff position. [...]

I wrote this mostly in Montana. ——- Look to the horizon. It’s Spring, mid-evening. A ribbon of faint sunlight stretches across the horizon. It’s nine o’clock, and still dusk, and the view is some Pentacostal ecstasy. Your soul ruptures, and all your questions dissolve: the Infinite, the Endles, Heaven, Hell, Ying, Yang... here it is—The Answer!—in all [...]

I’m moving Saturday, so I will be offline for a few days. There’s no internet connection set up at the new place, so I may be typing up blog posts at Barnes & Noble after this. We’ll see. In the meantime, I’ve posted a clip from my upcoming comedy The Shrub Whisperer. Let me know what [...]

…we’ve shot about this much footage for Razorwire: The tapes hold about an hour’s worth of footage apiece. And, to my great happiness, we’re currently way underbudget.

———–ONE———– So I’m waiting backstage, and I’m terrified. We’ve rehearsed, rewritten, revised, blocked. The set looks gorgeous. The lighting’s okay, but there’s nothing we can do about it. I’m sick, and I’ve decided to offset my illness with half a gallon of black coffee. Twenty feet in front of me, the choir’s finishing their number. That’s my cue. Right. [...]

I spent the past hour watching rain pelt my windshield. When it precipitates in San Diego, the populous thinks Al Gore’s Inconvenient Nightmare has arrived, and traffic slows to the pace of a five-legged millipede crawling uphill in a mudslide. My dog was in the back of the car–a vet’s appointment–gassing my car with that [...]

Movie-wise, things are rolling again… thank God. As the holidays began, I was intensely frustrated with this production. It felt like NOTHING WAS MOVING: some kind of monkey wrench was in the works. Filming on a key sequence had been delayed over two and a half months due to scheduling and location issues. We’ve shot plenty [...]

You know those cool guys who go to Starbucks to work on their screenplays? I’m not one of them. I’m too poor to buy coffee, and too embarrassed to sit there for six hours and then walk out without buying anything.* So today, I went to the library to write. I was excited because l hadn’t [...]

Computer + Mug of hot tea + Dell Xpress Service Package = No blog posts for two weeks. Good thing I bought the Idiot Warranty. In other news, I spent the day in Julian, California, writing away in the back room of a countrified buffalo burger joint. Great service, forgettable sandwich. I re-outlined what will probably become the [...]
