Well it's been awhile since I've posted here. There have, however, been a few exciting things that have happened recently that I would love to share with you. The first being the release of The Bi Apple at the beginning of the month. You can see a preview clip here. The second is the up coming Sin Cities episode that Trixie and I are in which you can see a preview of here. We had a great time working with Ashley Hames and his crew. I think I had a permagrin most of the time we were shooting.
I'll have a lot to be thankful for this Thanksgiving. One of the biggest things is that today I feel validated. Today I don't feel cheated. Today I feel like the general population of this country has seen through the bullshit that has been thrown in it's eyes for over six years now. Today I feel like great things are STILL possible in this country. I feel like cheap tricks, dirty tactics and hypocritical rhetoric is Soooooooo last year (though I'm sure it is still all the rage in certain circles). I like to hear Republicans starting to admit the new electronic voting process "may" be flawed.
Admitting there is a problem is always the first step in solving it. The Commander in Cheif should know this well from experience yet has never brought it into his political life. Oh yeah, that's right, he never actually went through the program. Well I hope today is a taste of things to come with the resignation of Rumsfeld and the acceptance of it (finally) by GW.
Anywhoo . . . I've always believed in the progressive philosophy and liberal policy. I try not to preach too much, but after the '04 elections and the whole smoke screen of "Values Voters" and the "War on Terror" and W's "MANdate" (he might actually check with his spiritual adviser Ted Haggard as to what a true MAN date is). I am thankful today that America has come out of the 9/11 shell shock and realized how they have been getting screwed and have decided to make a change.
Two years ago I felt betrayed and consumed with pessimism. Today I feel welcomed back into the fold of the American majority and a certain skeptical opimissism that I haven't felt in six years.
Thank you to all that took the time to vote yesterday and waited in long lines and in some cases came back to wait in line to have your voice heard!!! Keep on ROCKIN in the free world!!!
Drivers Safety I had to bump my show up a few hours today because I have to go to a drivers safety class for a speeding ticket I got a few months back. Should be dandy ;-)

Leaking Pipes Sorry that I had to duck out of my show within the first few minutes. We had a minor emergency, a leaking hot water heater, that ended up leaving us with no running water for the day. So I had to shut everything down and talk to some plumbers about getting over here and remedying the problem. It ended up being a hurry up and wait situation culminating in wonderful sushi dinner. When the going get's tough, the tough go out for sushi!!! So our plumber dude will be here tomorrow and tonight we'll be without running water.
New Age Dog My dog seems to have adopted a new fondness for "new age" music. We happened to notice it shortly after we had our Direct TV installed. Trixie really enjoys having some calm and soothing background noise going while she is working which when we noticed that Nico seemed to be enjoying the ambient tunes just as much. We started noticing her curled up next to speakers in the living room or in front of the TV in the bedroom whenever we were tuned into the new age XM station. She seems to be really fond of Audio Visions, a station featuring many songs with harps, flutes, chimes, classical guitars, didgeridoos, rainsticks, sitars, and various animal noises (especially chirping birds).
I'm not sure how this happened. Nico was raised on classic rock, motown, folk, bluegrass, blues, raggae, and heavy doses of psychedelic 60's rock. Maybe she is just getting old or maybe she has finally found a genre that soothes her savage soul. Whatever it is she seems to anticipate and even expect it as part of her daily routine these days. Trixie or I will put it on in the morning and she will curl up wherever it is being played and simly bliss out on it.
Yup, Still Here Just wanted to make a quick entry to let people know that yes I am still here. I've been having a really good summer so far and have a few things that I'm excited about and hope to be writing about in the next few weeks. I find it hard sometimes to sit down and organize my thoughts in a manner that works for me as a blog entry. It's frustrating sometimes because it is something that I do want to get better at and be able to do on a much more consistant basis. Anyway, be looking for some more posts in the upcoming weeks. I've got a few different things I want to blog about and need to sift through some thoughts and ideas. Hopefully I'll be able to take a little time to do just that in the next few days.
