This is interesting: apparently I have been marked as potential spam by Blogger.com, a shocking first for me. I'm actually a little confused by this turn of events, and still somewhat uncertain as to what about my blog thus far has got anyone thinking it's spam.

Perhaps it is the speed and frequency with which I made some of my initial postings. The fact is,
I am in the process of moving the majority of my MySpace blogs to this site, because MySpace sucks ass. And by ass I mean actual anus, not just buttock. Thus far I have posted a blend of already-written blogs and more recently composed pieces. Perhaps this is against the rules? Very confusing.

Forgive me, Blogger.com, I am home with the flu and quite bored. As a writer who is trapped in his house, well, I write. Surely you have other actual writers on this site. I like this site a hell of a lot better than MySpace, shouldn't that count for something?

Let's see ... Self-Indulgent News:

I'm in a trailer for a new novel, we're filming in the Napa area June 14-18. We were supposed to be filming at this winery that is a castle, but the owner flaked on us. I guess maybe I should have told them that my brother sells wine to a lot of casinos in Las Vegas, Nevada (there's more than one Las Vegas, I feel I should specify). Alas, alas, alas.

I'm playing Max Bialystock in The Producers at Solano College Theatre in Fairfield -- one of the better regional theatres in the Bay Area, truly committed to using local talent. (Unlike the unscrupulous hornswagglers at the big-name houses who hire talent from New York or LA.) Rehearsals start August 10, the show opens in early October.

I just cleared my sinuses by eating a raw green onion. Must remember that.
