A long day
Drinking and sunlight are never a good combination. Especially with fair skin. Having had lunch on NBC today, I ended up sitting in the sun for an hour, burning my head and arms in such a fashion that allows me to be a heat source for a small room.

I just turned 28. I live in Los Angeles, i’ve worked on feature films, television shows, and a bunch of other small projects. I still haven’t accomplished much, but i’m working at it.

A Letter to the Web TV Community
Dear Web TV Community,
Growing pains, that’s what the Streamys and the community experienced last night as they attempted to put on a show to rival its big sister awards, the Oscars.
