Brother, Can You Spare a Blog?

See, I knew I was going to be one of those deadbeat bloggers. I started this blog because I was pissed off that the film I directed got a crappy review from one of the trades. Does the fact that I'm not blogging much mean that I'm over it? No. It just means that I started a writing job on a show that I am not going to mention, and at the end of the day, I don't have any more words. I have a lot of thoughts, most of them random and non-sensical, but I'm too tired to write them down. That's probably a good thing.

Did I mention that I'm not a big fan of the "holidays"? They annoy me. I like giving gifts, but I hate shopping for them. Thank god for amazon.com. Of course, I love going to the Apple Store, I'm still a proud iHo, and I'll take any excuse to make that trip. Let's just say there were a lot of arm bands and other iPod accessories given away this Christmas.

Oh, can I just say that the video iPod is crazy cool? I downloaded the entire season of "Commander in Chief" and it's just horrible. But I can't wait for the new episodes because I am compulsive that way. I will watch the dumbest shows just so I can see how they end. I wonder if it's any better when the screen is bigger than a postage stamp? Probably not.

"The Office" holds up on the small small screen. I've also converted some movies and I'm carrying them around with me. Makes me happy.

I also like my new cell phone. I'll write more about that later. I'd hate to let all the cats out of the bag at once...

R.I.P. Richard Pryor

Gutsy and nutsy, there will never be another Richard Pryor. His concert films changed an industry, and changed my life. I hope he is at peace.
