As unlikely as I thought it would ever be, I’ve taken up golf here in LA. But only in the smallest of ways. Every week, a bunch of us get together and play at the little 9 hole par 3 course. It’s easy. And everyone’s bad so there’s no way to feel like you are [...]

Song du Jour: House of Pies
Here is week 4 of Song du Jour. It’s called “House of Pies”. Because we live near the House of Pies and I thought… what if someone really built a house of pies. Why would he do that? I also decided to deliver it spoken word ala Tom Waits or Shawn Mullins. Because… why not? [...]
The Clown Room
An item of interest in our little ‘hood… Jumbo’s Clown Room. What is it? Apparently, it’s some sort of bikini bar ala Deno’s Party Room in New York. But I’m fascinated by it and have to go one of these days because… is it clown themed? I think that’s amazing if it is. Because I [...]
Concierge: The Series
Here’s a new webseries I’m in that I’m excited about… It’s called Concierge: The Series. It’s written and directed by Tim Cooper. And stars a bunch of UCB-ers including Kate McKinnon, Jill Donnelly, Lance Rubin, and Tracey Wigfield among others. I play the hotel manager who’s in charge of a less than desirable hotel property. [...]
Song du Jour: Down Franklin
Song du Jour, Week #3! This one is called “Down Franklin”. It was inspired because Porter said I should write about a street in LA that hasn’t been put into a song before. As far as I know, it hasn’t been. But probably someone will alert me right away to this fact. Anyway, the street [...]
The Usual
One of my low-level fantasies is having some place that I can go into and some cute waitress with Maxwell House eyes* will say, “The Usual, Nate?” And I’ll say yes. I could also be like some guy named Mac. That’s fine too. The other part of it is I want to have some corner [...]
Ro-Co Research
Still need to write out my resolutions but one of them is to finish a screenplay. So I’ve picked my genre, which was easy. Romantic comedy or as I like to call them “ro-co’s”. I prefer this term to “rom-com” which I feel has a decidedly internet-y sound to it. Ro-co has more zing to [...]
Song du Jour: One In A Million

Just Tudor It!
While watching the Tudors this afternoon, I realized what a brilliant idea this show has hit upon: You can take the most memorable detail about someone and CHANGE it! For instance, we can all recall pictures of Henry VIII(paintings I should say…. ugh, how 20th Century am I?). What do we know? He’s fat! I [...]
Kentucky Fried Chicken Palace
On one of the streets I drive on every day is a Kentucky Fried Chicken. But it is unlike every other KFC I’ve ever seen. Check it! What I want to know is was this conceived this way or was it originally something else(more probable). And then some enterprising KFC franchise owner decided to snap [...]
