Bring It On 10th Anniversary Screening
Last night Ain’t It Cool News programmed a special 10th Anniversary screening of one of my films at The New Beverly Cinema, which was super fun and super flattering!
One of my boyfriend’s only flaws was that he had never seen Bring It On. He finally saw it last night with me and now is that much closer to perfection.
I can’t believe it’s already been ten years!
Star Trek: The Next Generation Of Re-gifting
Almost two years ago I sent a set of Star Trek Figurines as a surprise gift to The Non-Consumer Advocate who is an intractable sci-fi geek. (Sorry, gentlemen, she’s taken–and not in The Fourth Kindof way). Today she sent me this photograph: With this explanation: I took the family to go see the fantastic “Star [...]
Sometimes I Doubt Your Commitment To Sparklemotion
One of my very favorite things about my Hollywood job is my ability to call up artists who I respect, and actually have them agree to have lunch with me. One of my favorite actors (and favorite humans) is Beth Grant, who always turns in an amazing performance even if she has no dialogue. Even [...]
June Food Stamp Challenge: Pommes De Terre-ibles
Amazing. We are actually out of bread. Typically, this situation wouldn’t warrant a second thought, but according to my boyfriend, not buying bread for another 48 hours because we are over-budget on our $202 June food budget is a serious, serious problem. At least that’s how he made it sound tonight in the car when [...]
June Food Stamp Challenge: Mini Farms Are The Future
This morning I attended the monthly Backwards Beekeeping club meeting at Farmlab in downtown Los Angeles. On the way out, one of the farmlab-ers offered me a free varigated flax plant, that’s going right into my front yard (YAY!) and a mulberry start. I have no idea where I’m going to plant the mulberry tree…yet, [...]
Swarm Stopper! (I Hope).
Look at the gorgeous natural comb that the Lincoln Log Bees created. It’s so pretty. And such a pain in the ass to inspect. Mr. Homegrown Evolution came over on saturday to get some open brood from me for his Hollywood Hills trap out. Since he was already in his bee gear, he was nice [...]
June Food Stamp Challenge: The Hair Of The Dog That Bit Me
For the second day straight I woke up with a hangover. A junk food hangover. I’ve been eating crap for the last three days. The crap-fest began on Wednesday when I was stupid and didn’t schedule my day at all. I hadn’t eaten anything all morning because of back-to-back work calls, so when I met [...]
Honey Harvest! The Speaker Bees Give Us 40 Pounds Of Honey!
My friend Laura came over last friday to help me harvest the honey out of the Speaker Bee Hive. In preparation for this event, last week I’d separated the fourteen frames of capped honeycomb from the brood comb by putting the honeycomb into the top two boxes on the hive, and adding an escape board, [...]
