Another week, another...

...measly paycheck. Slow day today. A few too many vodka-redbulls last night. Felt like I could have happily died this morning, argh the morning headache. Remind me to drink water before going to bed in future. The weekend is upon us. The time when I take home a pile of scripts to read, a bunch of films and end up doing laundry and watching TV all weekend. We'll see...

Return of the Mack...

Well I may be Isuzu size now, but the mack truck returned last night. I busted some heads at basketball. I guess my bad day was taken out on the court. There was no blood but I threw plenty of elbows, man Big Kev would be proud. Stayed up late watching Project Runway and American's Next Top Model... do I sound like I should come out of the closet or what! Can someone buy me a Macbook Pro? I really want to make some cool shorts but I have nothing to make them on. OOh I just noticed I'm pretty good at touch typing - maybe I should do secretary work in my spare time to pay for the macbook. So... anyway... do you hate the feeling when you have something coming up in the future that you know is not going to go well. But rather than do something to fix it, you just wait and let it happen? ok maybe that's just me, but I'll get back to you next week. OK Volney wants to go for a ciggy, back later.

Rains it pours

Well this is what staying up late gets you:


After being up very late last night I get my assk kicked today. Man oh Man it sucked. I'll just have to take it out on the basketball court tonight. Alas, have nothing exciting to talk about cause I'm sulking. I got a new Razr whoop whoop. I saw Half Nelson last night which was very good, well Ryan Gosling was very good. Then I bought the new Basement Jaxx Album. Let's just say I hope they play a lot of their old stuff next week!!!

ANTM

Oh the joy... 2 glorious hours of American's Next Top Model, followed by another fabulous hour of The Wire. A monday night doesn't get much better than that. I really want to be on the reality show On The Lot which is coming up next year. Make it happen movie gods, make it happen!! Look out for updates for Mum, Malcolm and good ol' Blake in coming days. I'm just feeling a little lazy today, but I'll get there. Here is a photo of my family cat back home. Now I used to tease my mum for feeding it so much, cause he was HUGE, but now after a haircut he isn't that bad. Meet Dusty:

Sleepy Eyes

Had an interesting weekend....
Jackass was pretty fun, Pampas was divine and I likey the Golden Gopher. Got in some nice beach time on Saturday. It's so cool that there is still beach time this late in the year. Had a nice lunch on Sunday at Le Petit Four on Sunset. I've driven past this very 'be seen' restaurant hundreds of times but it's funny eating their watching the slew of ferrari's and plastic surgery experiments parading by. Then another wonderful trip to LAX. Yeah not fun at all. Almost makes me not want to travel anymore. I'm staying in L.A. forever hahahaah
OK that's it, I'm tired, need some sleep and to catch up on some great T.V.
This Sunday it's all about the Yeah Yeah Yeah's.
Now for the picture of the day... actually video of the day:

Kefalopono

Today I have a headache. I'm not sure why, I dont' usually get them... I've taken some ibuprofen so hopefully that helps. I need some danm panadol. I had an amazing lunch yesterday. If anyone reading this lives near Culver City - I know that is a huge zero - check out Tender Greens. The have this AMAZING steak sandwhich, that mixed with a baby spinach salas and goats cheese, is like a party in your mouth like never before!!
Can you tell not much is happening at the moment?
I missed america's next top model season premiere last night, that cause me much dissatisfaction, maybe that is the cause for the headache today. I have 14 scripts on my desk that I need to read, I dont' want to read them "Mum, I don't want to do my homework today". Ok lets look to the future then, seeing as though today is average.
Tomorrow night JACKASS 2 - Big Kev says:

I also bought my tickets for the YEAH YEAH YEAH'S - Woo hoo. YYY and the Jaxx in one week next month, I feel October is going to be a ripper.

This.. is Lucky Riv

What are the chances?
Seeing Sacha Baron Cohen, in Borat outfit, just on the street, not at a premiere, then being able to sneak past security, take a photo with him, and be left in his camera crews wake???
Chances are pretty fucking slim! But as you see here, IT HAPPENED. Seriously, I don't do this with celebrities, ok maybe I did it with Chloe Sevigny when I was 21, but with Borat, I couldn't resist. Feast your eyes


I don't think anything today will compare to this, so don't expect an update.

Weekend in review

So the weekend, it was VAN NUYS. Saturday... a little hungover... did some laundry and got me car washed for the first time!! I mean I'd washed it before but never by the car wash people, man I love my car again. Watched the last few episodes of The Staircase - you must watch it!!! Gripping stuff. Sat night went to the fancy launch for GOOD magazine at this really cool venue downtown. I wonder sometimes why party planners don't notice that the music is TOO LOUD in a vacant church hall and that might be the reason that 75% of the people were outside instead of inside!! Was a great night though, I love downtown L.A. Here is the church:


Then had a couple of drinks at Pete's - I love that place!


Oh and opposite the church is a small dive bar for... wait for it... gay mexican cowboys. Just picture Brokeback Mountain set in Mexico - so funny!
Sunday got up nice and early, a little hungover again, had a little production meeting for my short film. Then when to a fun little pool party up in the hills. Yes as you can see from the picture, I could definitely handle living in the Hollywood Hills.


Then Sunday night went to a secret film screening at Victor Savla's house. Too many weird moments to mention in a public blog, but ask me and I'll elaborate. Then... the icing on the cake... home to watch THE WIRE. Wow, looking back it was quite a good weekend... the jalapeno sandwichs were the highlight though.

Today has been fine, little work but good stuff all the same, Monday's always blow. The highlight was certainly when I saved the life of this little worm who was burning to death on the hot concrete. Go long and live a long life Mr. Worm.

Nice Friday

Had a very good Friday work wise. I know I'm writing this on Monday because I was too busy at work. Did a major cleanup, did some proactive client stuff and my boss got a great gig for one of his clients. That all might not make sense but it was good. Then Lara came and met me at work, we went at saw Black Dahlia at the Arclight with the Anonymous Crew. Black Dahlia - BAD MOVIE, drinks at Tokio afterwards were good though! I'll be back later for a weekend in review.

I rock

I was right, after a nice basketball game where I shot 3 3's WHOOP WHOOP and then some lovely dessert, my prediction skills were correct. SEE YA KAYNE.
Ok now that's out of the way... Another day has passed and another few measily dollars earned. I got a very funny photo today from my good mate ROCKET. He lives in London. I wish he lived in L.A. He went to Greece last week for his birthday and this is his post greek feast stomach photo:

Look at that flubber fly...
Now here is Rod giving the international sign of 'I Love you'

For a while now Rod has been promising me he'd send me one of his stories that he's written. 3 years later I'm yet to see them. I'm hoping by writing this he'll be so ashamed that he'll be forced to send me something... OR for all of you avid rivetting readers you could send him a myspace message of encouragement here
Well that's it for today... had a wonderful mexican lunch...many cans of diet coke and now it's drink-o-clock time.
Also... Rod, or you can call him Rocket, gave me the now not very appropriate nickname of Mack Truck. We used to play basketball together and because I was a little 'thick' I'd charge through people on the way to the hoop. NOW, though as I've lost 30lbs he gave me the new nickname of ISUZU - c'mon that's pretty damn funny.

Whoa, missed a day

What was I thinking yesterday??? Somedays I wake up and think what on earth am I doing in this town, away from my family? I guess I'm working towards a goal, a dream, but it's hard to keep hold of that sometimes, especially waking up with a 'where am I' feeling every morning. Had a fun night last night, couple of drinks with Trav and Jessica and Tom Bergens then to Martel. Watched a little Nip/Tuck when I get home, which alas has me yawning a little bit today. It's lunchtime now, I'm a little hungry.... what to eat, what to eat. It's tough having to hesitate going out to lunch and dinner etc for lack of $$$. Argh I hate being poor, I hate getting paid crap. Some run their crystal ball and tell me when it'll change!
Oh a new Basement Jaxx CD is out, I better get onto that, I'm going ot see them on OCT 7 downtown, VERY EXCITED about that. Should I buy Yeah Yeah Yeahs tickets? it's so expensive with all those ticketmaster charges.. Could I be anymore negative today? OK maybe I should eat - might do be wonders. Oh tonight... is... drumroll...

I predict Kayne is voted off tonight!

Viva las 'driving'

So a last minute trip to VEGASS.
Wow, lot's of driving, lots of drinking and lots of laughs with Lara, Gretchen and Downtown Short Brown. I think I'm done with Vegas for this year. Unless I'm going to see a show or the Maloof's fly me out and give me the penthouse at the Palms then I'm not going. The 7 hour drive back was tough, missed an important meeting in the afternoon, but hey you win some you lose some. 3 girls and me in a mini cooper, now that took some work.
Here we are though, where my blog first started. THE WIRE. Oh how I smiled with glee last night when I sat down, freshly showered, fresh clean room and an ice cold can of diet coke to watch my favorite show. Damn it's soo good, so so so smart. Maybe I was a cop or something in another life. Anyway, if you haven't seen it go to the store and buy the dvd.



Hm... what else. Well my brother who I miss and love dearly doesn't believe in blogs. So much so that he won't even read mine! Little prick. If anyone feels like going around to my parents house and busting a cap in his ass let me know. How do you like that Malcolm! Maybe he's waiting for me to write about him.

pay my rent

You name it, tell me what you want done in the next 12 hours and I'll do it for you. In turn you have to pay my rent this month! You see my lovely mustang decided it wanted the brakes to be squeaky. So I take it in as you saw from my post earlier. Actually if you're a regular reader then you know the story. Well now I can't pay the fucking rent. Argh will good 'ol Judith put me out on the street? What will I do with my toys? Gosh darn it why can't I get a payrise.
Here is Judith, you should email her and ask her to not charge me rent anymore:


In other new Laras is in town from ye olde Melbourne, likely to get drunk mucho this. Check out the drty dirty's myspace page.

Dragging

Man I am dragging ass this week! Must be because of the long weekend but I'm just plain miserable ARGH. Help I'm in a nutshell, how did I get into this nutshell.
So... the sun is shining down on my kefali.
I just rub my had and gel particles filled the air like fireflies.
Ok I'm going to stop now and maybe this afternoon I'll have something more intersting to talk about.

Not, Down in the Valley

I stayed up late watching Down in the Valley and man am I sleepy today. Such a nice film, definitely worth a watch...
So sleep deprevation = a fairly unproductive day. I just took an I.Q. test online only to get to the end and it asks you to pay for the result CU*$S!
Wow I'm really struggling for ideas today...
Go check out some videos by TheReceptionist cause today my blog blows.

Sad Sad Day.

Well today I am sad. Up until I saw Steve Irwin at UCLA in jan this year I thought he was kind of an over the top joke. I thought it was all an act, all for the U.S. audience.. When I saw him I was amazed at his passion, his love for animals and above all his love for Australia. He was such an amazing ambassador. He died in QLD yesterday of a sting ray spike. Sure it's better than he went out doing what he loved and hopefully not in too much pain. It's very upsetting to have such a true Aussie pass at such a young age. See ya mate.




Well I didn't die at Henry Rollins. Man can that guy belt it out. He's like a sweat machine. Amazing Amazing energy though. Swimming was amazing, the water was so warm. I really love being out in the sun, the endorphins your body produces with sunlight is awesome. Alas did not make it to Tijuana :( So you're all stuck with me for a little while longer. But I did see Rescue me!

Last Will...

Yes today there is nothing going on in preparation for the long weekend..
So lets just log in a little pre-weekend Will,
This weekend I'm doing two dangerous things. Going to see Henry Rollins with Joe Lynch. I'm not sure who is more dangerous... or maybe the vodka will be more dangrous... I will keep my chin off the floor (I hope)



Then I'm off to TIJUANA to see Bullfighting ARIBA ARIBA....
I hope not to get abducted, arrested or not able to return to the U.S. on Monday.. If you're a religious type... pray for me...
