Brief update

We've been a week on the road and wrapped production on 6 shows. That's pretty good, huh? With 14 (13 really) to go and...29 more days, the worst is clearly behind us. It's been extremely hard to get anything done outside of work on Signature Series, so I'm sorry I haven't posted pictures or responded to phone calls or emails. Frankly, this is the first time I've had reliable internet service since I left. I'll be here one more night, long enough to upload about 300MB of photos.

One quick funny thing about America: there's absolutely nothing in the southwest of Wyoming. I stayed in the creepiest hotel last night--one that had everyone sleeping in their clothes and not taking a shower. In Wamsutter, WY, there's two motels. We stayed in the nice one. The other one looked like...some Soviet Motel 6. I think the walls were aluminum. Although in Wamsutter (where we were), no one lives in anything other than a trailer. The motel was actually pretty nice, considering. The water was brown, but it was pretty nice. Oh, and I got 3 Jim Beams at the Desert Bar for less than $10. Notice how I ordered something that would elicit a communal approval from discriminating rancher eyes which are always on the look out for homosexual cityfolk.

Slow down, you move too fast

Ok, ok, I haven't had a clear moment to post here yet. I've been working far too hard and having far too much fun. I'm going to make it a point from now one to just write small posts, rather than compose long stories.

Here's a short vignette: Drinking at a dance club called Cowgirls in Nampa, Idaho, a "cowboy" comes up to our Cambodian director and jokingly does a Bruce Lee "hiYA!" in his face.

We are improving the country. Problem is we didn't realize how messed up it really was.

Pictures pictures pictures very soon. We sell Poop Shoes to Utah tomorrow.

The Signature Series


For the next five weeks, I'll be traveling across the country as a writer on Marc Horowitz's Signature Series. Here's the press release I just finished.

One Silly Misclick

So sorry, readers, for the dearth of Uncomfortable Position posts. In a few days I'll be starting a five-week road journey to improve America for Crackle.com, so I'll be flush with happenings. Right now I'm just keeping my head above water with that show's preproduction, scriptwriting for another web series to be shot in June, and acres of home mortgage papers.

I had to get this one li'l uncomfortable position onto the blog. Many of you may already be familiar with my recent quarrel with Reunion.com. You may have even received an email from me stating that I would just love it if you "reconnected" with me on that website. Lies.

Some people who I haven't spoken to in years thought that this was how I would break the ice. In fact, people who KNOW I'm keeping my distance thought that I suddenly had a change of heart. Oh thank you, Reunion.com, for putting me fresh in the minds of former stalkers, wierdos, and psycho ex-girlfriends of friends. More than one tv network exec's assistant told me to take them off their mailing list. Now I've got a wider swath of friends, but none of them want to hire me anymore.

Mama, don't let your babies grow up to be clumsy social networkers.
