I’m renting a room in a pretty nice 2B2B near La Brea & Sunset with an aspiring filmmaker, Matt, who I found through craigslist. The place is just for September while his actress girlfriend is away filming a movie and he’s got a spare room. I LOVE the location, right in the heart of everything. The Walk of Fame is one block away, and I’m also within walking distance of the Sunset Strip and the Grove. This afternoon, strolling the Walk of Fame, I passed a homeless guy with a cardboard sign that said “Kick me in the nuts $20.” They’re also filming a movie up there right now, and the whole street is cordoned off in front of Mann’s Chinese Theater, and there are all sorts of smashed up cars and cranes and giant lights, and what appears to be a cement mixer that was dropped upside down from a great height.

Roger Barr

My grandfather Roger Barr passed away early this morning at the age of 98. He was my mom’s father, and was my last surviving grandparent. He was being cared for by my uncle Steve (his son) and aunt Denice — both medical professionals — and was still sharp and good-humored in his final days. Yesterday […]
