Mom & Pop Culture

i survived "the sitcom room"

I was in Los Angeles last weekend for a two-day sitcom writing seminar. It was exhausting, but a ton of fun. I don't really like traveling, but things went as well as could be expected. I even arrived in L.A. early on Friday and had time to workout, relax by the pool, and read some celebrity rag.

I won't go into detail here, as I wrote all about my experience at TV Squad.

The only thing I left out over at TV Squad is how great it was to return home on Monday afternoon, and see my two kids waiting for me in the airport terminal, holding up signs with my name on it. I have traveled a couple time without my kids now, and it does get easier. But I still miss them so freaking much when I'm away. And it makes coming home so very sweet.

summer 2007 rants

It's been a while since I ranted about things that annoy me. So here goes.

1. Alli -- Like every other woman in America I want to lose weight (maybe 13 pounds). And I've tried lots of stupid diets in my lifetime. But why in god's name would anyone take a pill like Alli which may cause you to "poop your pants"? No thank you, I think I'll just keep hold onto my love handles and avoid unnecessary public soiling. Of course, it's only a matter of time before Lindsey or Britney or some other Hollywood harlot goes on Alli and public pooping becomes "the hip thing to do."

2. Posh Spice & Beckham-- Stop the hype. Make it go away. She's a fembot (I'm pretty damn sure all of her parts are made in Korea). He's a cute looking soccer player, so what? Am I the only one who wishes these two would stay the hell out of America. They annoy the shit out of me. And I'm tired of hearing about them.
