The End of the World

February 25th, 2004

If you trust the people at Channel 4 here in Los Angeles… Tonight is going to be the end of Los Angeles, as we know it.

The rain is coming. But not just any rain storm.

“The worst mega-storm since the disaster of December 2003!”

“People are frantically building walls with sandbags to protect their homes from disaster!”

“It is coming… Sweeping into Los Angeles like a bat out of hell! (Huh?)

“If you’ve got a HAZMAT suit, you’d better get it ready…”

I love it. Only in Los Angeles.

If I’m still alive tomorrow, I’ll post something funny.

Today’s Good News (And Who Will Be Starring In The Movie Version!)

February 24th, 2004

I live in Hollywood, what do you expect.

Good News Tidbit #1: Per My Accountant, the Government owes me BIG money.

Who Will Star in the Movie Version: Tom Cruise plays Paul Davidson, a fighter-pilot/trained Samurai/writer who finds out he’s been cheated by the IRS over the last ten years and is owed $1,000,000. Teaming up with a hot-little number (Angelina Jolie), the two infiltrate the IRS and steal back what’s rightfully theirs.

When Stars Go Batty

February 24th, 2004

The star had just come down from his hotel room and was angry. All the other stars had already received their meals to their doors, but this angry star had not. He was fuming, and directed such anger towards me and the Executive Producer.

“I am fed up with this crap food,” he grumbled. “Either you have my food in front of me in one minute or I’m taking my passport and leaving this god forsaken place tonight. Then you’ll have no show. I’m the most important person on this show. Without me, you’re screwed!”

Babies in Stomachs (Or Why I’m Glad I’m Not a Woman)

February 23rd, 2004

My sister is pregnant.

In fact, she has been for some time. I believe, at current timetables, she is set to squeeze out my first nephew (whom I have lovingly begun to refer to as my little nephew) by mid June. I talked to her the other day, since I have not seen her since she’s started to balloon up, and was tripping myself out just imagining the whole “creation-thang”.

The human body is one damn amazing piece of machinery. You get a cut, white blood cells rush to the scene of the crime and cover it up. You get sick, your anti-bodies fight against the disease to rid your bod of it. You cut off a leg, it grows right back! (Oh wait. That’s snakes. Or is it? I forget.)

Beware the Taxman!

February 23rd, 2004

I met with my accountant this morning. But before we address that, let’s talk about how you feel about me when I say “I met with my accountant this morning.”

I think you feel a bit overwhelmed, because you haven’t done your taxes yet.

I think you feel a bit annoyed, that I would shove that fact in your face on a Monday, no less.

I think you feel a bit isolated from the rest of the CPA scene and wonder how much schooling it might take
you to get your own CPA license.

I think you feel a little sad that you went into Dentistry instead of CPA-istry.
