There’s a long-haired, skinny character in the office famed for his drunken excesses. He wears shades indoors, even in the windowless edit rooms, hiding what I imagine to be a pair of bloodshot eyes. Sometimes I worry when I see his skeletal body shaking from the cold during edits, even when he wears a thick jacket.
After work every night, he invites colleagues to [...]
This is the longest breakup I’ve ever heard of … which figures because this is the longest relationship that didn’t end in marriage of anyone I’ve ever known.
R’s still home. I haven’t had the courage to ask him lately about the status of his condo. Don’t want him to get all snappish on me. Don’t want him to start [...]

i hung out with these guys for a couple of hours, their music was cool and they were really into discussions on design …
he had a portrait of his wife and his little girl on his inner arm. and this [...]
An unkind thought: I sometimes pity the network babies who didn’t get to experience growing up in Probe Productions.
Many of these kids earn too much and work too little. Complain all the time. Expect to be paid for every tiny move they make. Get old on the job without growing.
But it’s not their fault they are the way they are. And they’re [...]
Today was the enth time in the past few months that I suddenly awakened to the sound of myself screaming. And found R shaking me, trying to figure out what happened again.
