Des Moines, Iowa

… what do you know about it? What is there to do there? Where should one stay when there? Did you know that “Missed One” is an anagram for Des Moines?

Today, Netflix is shipping me the 1988 Fred Savage/Judge Reinhold classic, “Vice Versa”. Try not to be jealous. And if you don’t know, now you know.

Novembeard Day 26: Zoolander-esque Edition Withholding Blue Steel for a few more days. Novembeard is almost over. I’ve been tested over the last few days. On more than one occasion, I’ve wanted to get rid of the beard. It itches. Doesn’t look particularly good in person. And eating chili or buffalo wings sure is a different challenge altogether. But that’s why we do this thing we call Novembeard. Because it isn’t easy. It isn’t just not shaving for a month. It’s perseverance. Saying you’ll do something, and sticking to it … alongside your other Novembearded brethren. This Sunday is the Novembeard Group Photo. I look forward sharing stories with the other fellas from the bearded trenches.

Novembeard Day 26: Zoolander-esque Edition

Withholding Blue Steel for a few more days. Novembeard is almost over. I’ve been tested over the last few days. On more than one occasion, I’ve wanted to get rid of the beard. It itches. Doesn’t look particularly good in person. And eating chili or buffalo wings sure is a different challenge altogether.

But that’s why we do this thing we call Novembeard. Because it isn’t easy. It isn’t just not shaving for a month. It’s perseverance. Saying you’ll do something, and sticking to it … alongside your other Novembearded brethren.

"Google Wave was built to show younger people how older people feel when they try to use the internet."

I actually disagree 100%.

The editorial team for verb [ICT] uses Wave daily. It’s how we’ve collaborated on everything from group to-do lists, editorial calendars, and providing feedback on everything under the sun. It keeps us organized. It keeps us constantly in communication. And it keeps my gmail inbox from getting cluttered.

I kind of think that if you find Google Wave difficult, you’re doing it wrong.

Or you need more nerdy friends.

I agree with Shea on this. When used properly, it has the potential to be a great collaborative tool … especially in editorial/creative settings.

A group of a dozen or so of us actually gathered at a bar, drank some beer, and just spent a few hours using Google Wave. Left with a nice buzz, and a much better sense of familiarity within Google Wave and what it all does.

Elvis Presley “Teddy Bear/Don’t Be Cruel” Live medley from 1972’s “Lost Performances” video.

This is my favorite version of “Don’t Be Cruel” since he changes the lyrics and says, “Please let’s forget the past, before I kick your (*drum smash*)” which is always good for a laugh. Every time I break this one out at karaoke jams, I insert these lyrics.

I was a big fan of Noah Baumbach’s The Squid and the Whale a few years ago. Over the years, his characters have been mostly of the neurotic and elitist variety. If Woody Allen and John Updike met at a bar and one thing led to another, and somehow they were able conceive a child a`la Arnold Schwarzenegger in Junior, then Baumbach characters would be the offspring nine months later.

He’s a little hit or miss, though, at times.

I’m hoping he hits the mark here with Greenberg, starring Ben Stiller. I’m happy to see that Stiller is going low key versus over the top.

It still blows my mind to think that James Cameron had originally pegged musician Billy Idol to play the T1000 in Terminator 2: Judgment Day. Seriously. He would’ve had the role, had he not gotten into that motorcycle accident, which nearly took his leg. Instead, as we know, Cameron had to cast someone else and Robert Patrick went on to utter the words, “Get. Out.”

Before there was Salt-N-Peppa, there was Klymaxx. In 1985, they had a big hit with “Men All Pause”. Of course, to this day, I still hear the song as “Menopause”.

I Need Your Help

Dialogue spoken by a 30-year-old woman:

Jesus, Mom, you know that I hate hearing you even use the word “bed” in any context that isn’t followed by “Bath & Beyond”. And I don’t even want to know how you know about Tommy Lee’s exploits.

I need help from the studio audience. The dialogue, above, is in my screenplay. Does it work?

I was just listening to Galveston by Glen Campbell, because I have a couple of his albums, and became a “Fan” of his on Facebook. My music taste alone should make me an honorary AARP member.

“Ooooh. Oooooh. Mr. Kotter!” Dammit. Why do I always make references from the 1970s? Oh, that’s right. I’m an “old soul”.
