I’ll tell you this much: TMJ does NOT stand for “Too Much Joy”. No, in fact, it stands for Temporomandibular joint disorder. Simply put, it’s a pain in the ass in your jaw, and it looks like I have it. Jiminy CRIPES, just add it to the LIST of ailments and take-downs that plague me on a regular […]

Happy Friday! We made it. So my friend Larry Morgan interviewed me for his Snarkmonkey podcast and I think it’s one I kinda might be proud of. It got crazy, too, because we sorta filter through my life chronologically, which, can all at once be exhilarating and/or REALLY depressing. One of the questions he asks me was how […]

My friend Doug Paul owns and operates Three Sisters Vineyards & Winery in Dahlonega, Georgia. You would not believe the splendor of Georgia wine country, in case you had no idea it existed. I was blown away when I went out there a few years ago. It’s SO special. Nic had a conference to attend […]

Today, I am GETTING SHIT DONE. Shit, I’ve been pretty much gettin’ shit done all week. But today is exceptionally productive. The fridge is stocked for the Easter holiday weekend. The pugs are at the groomer getting their booty glands expelled before they get thoroughly bathed. And the cleaning crew is zeal-fully kicking ass outside my office door, as […]

So here was my day yesterday: I woke up, fed my dogs, shoved breakfast, and out ran to the market for a few items. I came back, hopped online, hooked up my Skype, and co-interviewed bassist Kira Roessler from the legendary punk group Black Flag for the Cutting Room Movie Podcast show that I do (I […]

I love St. Pat’s! I’m legitimately partly Irish, too!  (Yeah, yeah, we all say that…) At any rate, it’s St. Pat’s again and today I plan to slow cook and bust open a bottle or two of joyous what-say-you. I’m thinking sparkling wine with blackberries, as I am weakly constructed for bourbon or Guinness. I also […]

My dear ol’ buddy Adam aka The Counselor and his awesome wife Vanessa have put together a brand-new website based around their 2015 television pilot, “Starland P.C.”. I make a cameo in this thing as a rabbi in an old 80’s-style mayonnaise commercial. I also recorded some voices on it and am currently cutting a little […]

Boarding the plane for my flight home to L.A. from Dallas, I had succumbed to a momentary lapse of reason. See, I’m one of these assholes who ALWAYS has to sit in an aisle seat, because I’m a major claustrophobe. Especially on a plane. Oh, I’ll pout if I don’t get my way on this. […]

Welp. I’m in love with a dude. Now before you scream out loud, “I KNEW IT!!”, just know that I’m talking about my new baby nephew, PJ (as I’m calling him). PJ is the sweetest, most gassy, most gurgle-y, most gremlin-y, most adorable, most intoxicating little human I have ever met in my life. My sister and bro-in-law have done […]

I’m flying to Dallas early tomorrow morning. I’ve never landed at Love Field before but I am looking forward to it. Word is, however, there’s going to be a snow storm. So I could wind up in a world of shit, traveling-wise. Wait. They have snow storms in Texas??? I’m going down there to meet […]
