New Job

Is it possible that I am really updating my Blog after so long? Besides not having the time, there have been a lot of changes that have wooed me away from writing into cyber-space. I was informed back at the beginning of may that I was being let go from my job. It seems that out stellar Television Production company did not have so hot of a year. As a matter of fact, by my count…of the 28 primetime shows we had on the air last year, 17 were either cancelled or relegated to midseason this year. Wow that’s a drop. Anyway, so I was left with the impending demise of my life in film production and had to look elsewhere. After interviews with Television Producers, The Family Guy, Interactive Video Games, Music and Publicity peoples…I finally decided to accept a position handling international marketing for our studio’s feature films. Wheee…it’s not in production, but definitely a promotion. I am really excited and will be starting the middle of June. I will keep you updated on the rigors of a departing Television employee before I start with the wonders of a new marketing stooge! Let the congrats pour in….

Fire #2

well, that sucks! I heard most of Griffith Park was saved, which is good since it was a favorite family spot including the Zoo, Western Museum, Travel Town, Pony Rides, Christmas Lights, Playgrounds, Hiking trails etc....we loved it. Now it's just scorched moon-face. Here are some sweet pics!

Because it's funny...That's why

CBS To Release Own Version Of NBC's The Office

NEW YORK— "We changed some language and cultural references to things our audience would understand," said producers, disputing the notion that the show could only work on NBC.

Sick?

My wife is sick and I am starting to feel achy all over my body. That is not a good sign considering it is horrible for both parents to be out of it and trying to take care of our boys. Luckily, they have a love for long documentaries and playing ball which keeps them busy. On another note, it looks like my favorite show “Studio 60” is going to come back on the air starting the end of May. It is definitely not coming back next season though as they have struck (taken down) all the sets for it over here. I guess I’ll never see Bradley Whitford and Matthew Perry hanging out by my car anymore. Hey look…a shark!

River Trash

Today I got to come into work late because I was down volunteering to clean up the Los Angeles River. There was so much junk, it was unbelievable. Most of it was those plastic shopping bags people get from the grocery store. I also hauled up rugs, jackets, shopping carts, a mattress, tires, traffic cones...you name it. It felt good doing something meaningful, since my job doesn’t afford me that opportunity that often. I got to see Deborah Messing on the lot today, and even Darth Vader hates those people who don't turn off their cell phones before movies.

Ouch!

I know that Colorado State has always had a problem trying to tackle, but taking it out on a 4 year old has reached a new low. My boss is going to a charity dinner tonight and we got a call today wondering if Mario Lopez could sit at our studio’s table. My questions are thus; first off, why did they ask our studio to front a table for Mario Lopez and secondly, if he is a presenter, wouldn't you think that he had a space reserved somewhere? His career didn't take off like he hoped it would after Dancing with the Stars. Ouch!

Make em' Laugh!

Even though this has been online for quite some time it still makes me laugh. It even inspired me to "think" about writting a follow-up with my son entitled the lawyer. We'll see where that goes in all of my spare time! Anyways, enjoy. Oh yeah, here's a bonus chuckle.
