* Penn and Teller’s TV Show “Bullshit” is one of the best things on Cable.

* I’m really excited about seeing Robin Schiff again. Robin was the director of “Romy and Michelle, The Beginning”. She’s invited me to her house next week for dinner. She made that whole experience fantastic for me. Paula Abdul and I had a scene together. I could write a book. And I will. Someday.

* I haven’t heard anything about the Runaway Bride in the last couple of days, and I couldn’t be happier.

* The President of Mexico’s recent comments on racial differences made me wince with pain. Positively wince.

* Every day I spend in LA is making me happier and happier. The sun, the beach, the mountains, the smog, the people. I don’t understand why everyone in the world doesn’t move here. The funny thing is, I don’t miss Chicago at all. Not one bit. I miss my friends, and I miss the theatre, and I actually miss parts of the City, but that weather? Please. I called Chrisanne today, and she reminded me that it was 40 degrees and grey. I laughed. Well, I snickered. Then she yelled at me.

* I don’t have a stereo here. Rats! I have my computer which can play CD’s and stuff, but it’s not really the same. I really need something that plays something so I can blast something. Like….Judy at Carnegie Hall. I need that something.

* Briteny Spears new reality show was on last night. There is a God.

* I miss Mitchell Fain.

* I start teaching Viewpoints tonight with Jeff Perry. I hope I don’t screw up, it’s been a while.

* I have been to meeting after meeting after meeting with Hollywood types. I don’t understand this weird fallacy about how fake and self absorbed they can be. I mean, okay….ANYone can be fake and self absorbed, I’ve dated most of them. So, the people I’ve met have been great. I’ve loved them all. There’s blah, blah Hollywood talk all the time, and I’m learning to sort of sift through what’s real and what’s not, but all in all, I LIKE these people, I really LIKE them.

* The 405 is a literal parking lot. Don’t ever use that thing. Ever. I don’t care if you’re on fire.

* I haven’t thought about the war in a while. Does that make me a bad person?

* I miss Chrisanne more than I can say. It’s to the point where if I don’t keep busy enough, I’m going to end up on medication. That’s not a joke.

* I’m feeling some sort of strange peace with both my parents and their deaths. Being here and feeling closer to them has healed something in me, I don’t know how to explain it really, but there’s something changing in me, and it feels really serene.

* They’re building a pool here in my little complex. It will be ready in September. When Chrisanne comes to visit, we can swim at Thanksgiving.

* “I Love Lucy” has saved my sanity every night.

* I’m worried about Lindsay Lohan. I don’t even know the woman, and I’m worried about her like she lives down the street.

* I’m INCREDIBLY angry about “Transamerica”. It’s a brand new film and I had the lead role for about 20 seconds. The movie’s about a Transgendered female who travels across America with her newly reunited son. It was beautifully written, and the director/writer was a dream. I auditioned about a year ago, got the role, and then had it snapped out from under me by the producers. You see, I’m not famous enough yet. Producers wont take a chance in funding a big movie when the lead isn’t famous. Apparently I have to be famous to do my first film, but I can’t get famous until I do my first film. Following me? So…they cast Felicity Huffman (Desperate Housewife) and the film has since won her Best Actress at the Cannes film festival, and will be released nation wide in time for Oscar night. If that just don’t beat all.

* I love Hollywood, and I refuse to give up. That’s the last thing I have to say.
