Hola Amigos!
Boy did we have a hot time in the old town this weekend. Temperature-wise, at least. Holy crap. The car next to me got stuck at the traffic light when his tires melted to the street. I saw a bald man fry an egg on his head! Did I mention it was hot? So, we here at the Fredonia compound circled the wagons and threw us a backyard BBQ. Fun was had by one and all. Some of us had more fun than others. I do believe I glimpsed a 7am walk of shame this morning. And coming from my very own house! Apparently, karaoke and a dash of strawberry sour diesel is quite the aphrodisiac.
By the way, thank you to everyone who sent get well wishes. I'm feeling better every day and the walking boot is helping. As did the pitcher of mojitos yesterday. A bunch of you have asked to see the infamous boot so I've included a couple of pics. One showing the Frankenboot, the other showing my bruised up leg. Mind you the bruises are all from blood rushing to the torn muscle. I never hit the leg at all. Weird.


See... y'all thought I was kidding. That I was just taking vicodin for fun. Well, a couple of times it was for fun. By the way, not for nothing but not a single person associated with the film I was working on when I hurt myself has so much as called, e-mailed, sent a text, or anything to see how I'm doing. Seriously. Not a word since I left set to drive myself to the emergency room. This the same film I've been working on since November of 2006. Not a producer, an AD, production assistant, no one. Hollywood... Ain't it great? :-)

Random Thought #1: Hundreds of years ago, it was seemingly possible to buy forgiveness. Until Martin Luther came along to spoil the fun, the Catholic Church used to sell "indulgences," which buyers could supposedly trade in purgatory for a reduced punishment for their earthly sins.

In other news: After 3 months, the landlord finally sent someone to take a look at the living room floor that had swollen and pushed itself up in to what could only be described as something out of tremors. Seriously, I was waiting for a giant sandworm to break through and spit out Kevin Bacon on to my floor. Now we have holes where our floor and walls used to be. Fun.In case you hadn't guessed, I figured out how to add photos to my blog. Maybe not a big deal to you but I personally feel a huge sense of accomplishment. Next stop... VIDEO!

Random Thought #2: Sanity is the new Crazy. Shadow work, meditation, yoga, contemplation, prayer, authentic self inquiry. SANITY is the new Crazy."

Okie dokie, my little pound puppies. Time for me to hit the sack. Big days ahead. More news to come. Exciting things just around the corner. Stay tuned. Stay true. Stay weird.
Peace!

Oh you POOOOOOR thing! Nothing like breaking both wrists, though... I'm not so sure, but I'm starting to think you may want to reconsider this whole running thing. Seems to be bad for your health!
Seriously, though, feel better.
