"In this city you better learn to get along, 'cause L.A's got it all. The glamour and the grit, the big breaks and the heartaches, the sweet young lovers and the nasty, ugly, hairy fiends that suck out your brain through your face."
The rest of that quote goes, "It's all part of the big, wacky variety show we call Los Angeles. You never know what's coming next. And let's admit it folks: isn't that why we love it?" Yep. Let’s take a break from the deep, dark depths of my Kabbalah study... (read more)

"Attention, Flight Director Lucky. Your ego trip has been cancelled."
Kabbalah Schooling, days 7, 8, 9 and 10 Not to sound overly dramatic or anything, but I feel kind of like the emperor when he discovers he’s not wearing any clothes. Or… have you seen that episode of The Simpsons where Homer thinks he’s being a charming and witty house... (read more)

The first is working through The Artist’s Way. The second is officially studying Kabbalah. Yes, I’m in. Not necessarily up-to-my-eyeballs in, but I’m... (read more)

"What were you and your mom talking about? Your face is all puffy."
It’s inevitable: you visit your family, and out come the old pictures. The ones of them wearing questionable hairstyles and bell bottoms are amusing… but the ones of you with French waiter hair and slouchy socks with dress shoes are not.... (read more)

"This is just perfect. I try to mold us into a family that will blend in, and what do I get? A surly teenager, a sister obsessed with a man, and a brother who drinks too much. Is there another family in the whole world like this? I don't think so!"
My holiday is slowly drawing to a close, and already this year feels infinitely different than the last. Shar and I spent part of New Year’s Day walking on Jericho Beach – when we weren’t overdosing on Madonna concerts, Buffy episodes and random zips through Sex and the City, that... (read more)
