Oops!

Check this out. I was filming a pilot for a show called "Team". What happens at the end is NOT supposed to happen. Watch the clip.

Whole-Wheat Pasta, The Office, Orson Scott Card and Christmas

I had whole-wheat pasta for dinner tonight. I don’t know if I like it because it tastes good or because my brain tells me that it might be better for me than regular pasta. Come to think of it, the texture wasn't very appealing.

I'm looking forward to "The Office" tonight. It is an hour long. I was pleasantly surprised to finally find a good new sitcom this season: I watched "Help Me Help You" for the first time the other night and genuinely laughed the whole way through. I am excited to watch the next episode.

I am starting the Alvin Maker series by Orson Scott Card. I've only read a little bit, but already I am enthralled/addicted. I was on an OSC kick a while back and I read Ender's Game, Ender's Shadow, Enchantment, Sarah, and Monkey Sonatas. Every thing he writes, I fall in love with. He has such a mastery of words and story telling. I am excited to be an OSC addict again.

I love the Christmas season. Christmas shows (Rankin-Bass Rudolph, The Animated Grinch, White Christmas, and Christmas episodes of my favorite TV shows); Christmas smells (Pine, cinnamon, pumpkin spice, oranges, wrapping paper, scotch tape, new electronics just out of the box (I still remember when I opened up my first Nintendo and the robot that came with it had such an exciting new smell. (The games that you used the robot on were fun for a minute, but then it would take too long for his head to move and you would get frustrated and move on to Mario Bros., Excite Bike, Castlevania, or Ikari Warriors (I think it was up-up-down-down-left-right-left-right-b-a-select-start to get extra lives or something cool like that))), and new He-Man figures (yes, I do say at the end of "Wassail and Apple Pie" that I want Skeletor)); and Christmas music (Nothing beats The Canadian Brass Christmas).

I hope you have a very merry Christmas.

Thank you for all of your support this year. I really am blessed.

Just a Dollop Will Do

I am almost finished with the Christmas album. It's amazing to work with Nathan. He is fantastic at coming up with new and original ideas that blow my mind. We are recording a string quartet next week. I'm looking forward to that.

Next weekend, Sept. 8th and 9th, I'll be in Fillmore, Utah for their Arts and Living History Festival. I will be doing a variety of activities including a free concert on the 8th at 6:30 pm at the Territorial Statehouse Park.

The improv show on Thursday went well. We did an improv that I had never done before called "Awkward Silence". We are going to start having special guests come do the shows with us. Make sure you get your tickets early for the next few shows.

Season three of "Arrested Development" came out yesterday. I love that show.
I was happy that "24" won at the Emmys.

I really like the flavor of Keebler Original Chips Deluxe cookies with a dollop of creamy Skippy peanut butter on top. You shouldn't over-do it though. One cookie is enough. If you eat more, your stomach feels way too full and you will forget how delectable the taste was in your mouth. It's like eating too much cookie dough. The first two spoonfuls are magical, but by #10, you feel sick. And not too much peanut butter either. Just a dollop. I've tried chunky, but then you're mouth is too focused on chewing The chunks of nuts instead of enjoying the smooth, rich flavor jubilee.
