Apparently I can be fined up to a million dollars if I talk about the TV movie I’m doing. I can’t talk about the story, my character, the dialogue — anything, Continue reading West Virginia is for lovers (I think)

Improvisation
This was backstage at The Rep. We held for a few minutes, and I got antsy.

JZ: Yeah.
Me: What do you normally eat Continue reading I interviewed Jay-Z!
Death, dying, the end, the light, and morbidity
Not sure what to make of this.
Finishing my matinee I spoke to a friend — let’s call him “Trevor” — and Trevor recently visited a friend of his in another Continue reading Death, dying, the end, the light, and morbidity
Rodent
Had a home in Sayville. Beautiful mahogany wood floors. LED display on my flat screen TV. I think I had everything I wanted in a home. Then there was scurrying. There was manic footprints on the floor, and no one knew where they were coming from. I made a dinner. Similar to Thanksgiving only it was me, my fiancee, and my son. My son Continue reading Rodent
