a new blogging job

One of my professional goals for last year was to secure a paying blogging gig. When 2006 came and went, I was feeling a bit disappointed about not reaching that goal. 

However, nine days into the new year, I was offered the opportunity to blog for TV Squad.  I'll be providing ongoing American Idol coverage and will be working closely with AOL.TV (AOL is the parent company of Weblogs, Inc. which in turn owns TV Squad).

So that's where you'll probably find me in the forseeable future. Between blogging for TV Squad, and writing screenplays, I don't imagine I'll have a lot of time to update this personal blog with random rants or ramblings. But I may stop in every now and then to tell you how I'm doing with my writing.

back from houston

Well, I'm back from Houston where my family and I watched Rutgers stomp on Kansas State to win their first ever bowl game.  What an awesome experience.  While we were disappointed that RU didn't get to a BCS bowl (that Orange Bowl should have been ours!) it worked out in the end -- because WE WON and that's all that matters. Of course, I'm not sure what I'm supposed to do for the next eight months, now that I've become addicted to Rutgers football.
