I'm in Hollywood having a mental health afternoon. I've been rather moody lately and other people like the trombone player and bassist have noticed it. So I'm trying to fix the situation by spending time by myself doing things I want to do which mostly is reading books and working on this blog and working on my podcast which is coming along. I should be ready to go live soon. Today I did an episode about making pancakes.
I invited a few friends to the show. I sort-of got burned a little bit by people taking that as a chance to get all of their friends tickets. Some people I really did want to help out and I did. I think the rest of them I'm going to tell them I can't help them get their friends in. It's alesson in being clear about what you're giving away and why. Sometimes it's better not to give someone a gift. Or maybe another thing to say is that there is such a thing as too much. People get kind of greedy with free things.
I'm in the first coffee shop I discovered in Los Angeles a number of years ago. It's called Stir Crazy and it has a log cabin kind of decor. Across the street is Boo Radleys antique shop. Cool since I just read "To Kill a Mocking Bird". Now I'm reading "Running with Scissors". It's about a boy who gets adopted by his mom's shrink.
