Just really totally psyched that The Pursuit of Cool is for sale and on display on the front table of Book Soup, the iconic Los Angeles bookstore! Drop by W. Sunset Blvd. and check it out! :-)

To those who think kitchen cabinets can be refurbished and painted in 3 days I say this: You will need 4, and there will still be caulking to be done, and that seam over the sink will still look imperfect and will bug the crap out of you.

Attention Readers! Need more time to read? Here's how: ::::: http://t.co/d7TDJjU89e

Enlisting novelists to novelize Shakespeare...is this a good idea? It's the ultimate fan fiction. :::: http://www.latimes.com/la-et-jc-enlis...

The good folks at Under Scoop Fire, a pop culture and 80s website, posted an excerpt from my novel. The Pursuit of Cool. Many thanks to them,. ::::: http://underscoopfire.com/the-pursuit...

The HBO movie 'Behind the Candelabra' was pretty good. Michael Douglas and Matt Damon were excellent. Rob Lowe almost steals the movie as Dr. Stark, plastic surgeon and Dr. Feelgood. He is insane and hilarious.

I am still in shock about the last episode of Game of Thrones. OMG. Big props to George R.R. Martin for having the writing gumption to deliver that tornado of wicked karma to the Stark family. So awesome. Yet horrible also for the woeful Starks, poor bastards.

Just watched "The Crash" episode of #MadMen. Insanely intense and insanely funny. Greatest episode ever. Shades of 50 Shades. The plane ride with Ted! Roger sacks Burt Peterson...again!

Yes, I know. I have maintained radio silence for awhile. The reason is that I have been consumed by a process (moving) and I am still in the belly of the beast. But I will have an announcement soon. Miss you guys, :-) \m/ Keep Reading and Keep Being Awesome!!

: OK: J.R.R. Tolkien and George R.R.Martin, right. ;) Was this a coincidence? Or a requirement? -----------

After watching the David Mamet film I have become obsessed with Phil Spector. His version of 'Spanish Harlem' is sublime. I do think he killed Lana Clarkson. I think it highly unlikely she would commit suicide like that.

An experiment in FanFic: A yuppie and a valley girl meet at the mall in 2013... And the results are here!... ::::: http://m.gawker.com/5993505/a-yuppie-... #80s #fanfic #DuranDuran

Gawker asked me to write this fan fiction piece in honor of the NatGeo series on the 80s. A Yuppie and a Valley Girl...it was a fun assignment... ::::: http://m.gawker.com/5993505/a-yuppie-...

: "Life of Pi" is a great adaptation of the book. Props to Ang Lee. The 3D tech actually adds something to the movie. #moviereview #pi
