a bunch of different creative industries experiencing a constantly perilous decade(s) is just heartbreaking and terrible find decency and joy where you can keep your friends close, and help them when they need it

in chicago to tour schools for my kid, one of them is DePaul with notable grad John C Reilly, who we randomly just saw singing cowboy songs about death with the band Water Tower.

I said “this kid’s applying to DePaul” and John said “Good luck to ya, it worked out for me. I’m out here singing on the street!” best endorsement of all time imo

Really pleased to finally say that Chris Remo and I were the lead writers on Star Wars: Galactic Racer. The team at Fuse are the absolute best in their field, and it really shows. It was a great project to work on and is an even better game to play. Sebulba forever

needed to record some alto sax... so now I own an alto sax again. I sold my last alto (a beautiful and sturdy selmer series 2) in 2000 to pay for a trip to the UK to visit my girlfriend (we've now been married 21 years). always wanted a yani alto and got a great deal on this used fella.

got my old saxophone out for the first time in years had a stroke in 2020 and lost my hand dexterity for a while, it never fully came back but I’m getting close to at least being able to play sad songs again

I went to a special screening of Transformers 3 (obv bad movie) at kennedy space center Peter Cullen was hosting, and kids drew pictures of robots and he would do slight variations of his Prime voice to introduce them One kid drew an Eeyore robot, and Cullen did the Eeyore voice and it was so good
