Actual conversation in the Burbanked house tonight: I was watching the 1971 Dirty Harry on AMC, and the movie had reached the sequence in which the Scorpio killer is sending Harry running all over the city in order to drop the ransom money. Mrs. Burbanked enters the room and sits down.

Mrs. B: What’s this?
Me: Dirty [...]

Apologies to Internet Explorer users… »

UPDATE: the problem was actually due to a SiteMeter upgrade, and not my fault! Even better, it’s been resolved. I guess I just always take the guilt on myself. Boo hoo. If you’re reading this in Internet Explorer, you’re some kind of a sorcerer. Because my recent WordPress upgrade has crashed Burbanked when you try [...]

I am a fish out of water.
I am an everyman.
My wife and I met cute.
There’s no place like my home.
I’m getting a lot more than I bargained for.
My life is based on a true story.

My kids are [...]

I woke up just after 4:30 am on January 17th, 1994, on the floor of the one bedroom in my Burbank one-bedroom apartment. This was not the result of the previous night’s drunken binging or Hollywood partying with producers, starlets and celebrities, but rather a function of the rather sizable earthquake that had hit the [...]

The Dark Knight of Burbank, Part I: Fear of the Outsider. »

I’m pretty sure I’m in the minority on this one, but Burbank, California, is the most fascinating place I’ve lived in. What I truly loved about it was the way that it sits in the middle of about half of all the major moviemaking studios in L.A.; it’s seemingly the cradle of a one-industry town’s [...]

The fine people of discriminating taste and refinement at Alltop.com have created a nifty little site that aggregates RSS feeds from websites of all topics, sizes and shapes. For some reason, they’ve agreed to add my little site to their “Movies” page, which seems like a way better placement than “Extreme Sports”, which was [...]
