Dispatches from the City of Angels
I'm a writer and humorist living in and writing about Los Angeles. You can catch my novel LOSING CLEMENTINE out March 6 from William Morrow. In the meantime, feel free to poke around. Over at my website you can find even more blog entries than I could fit here, as well as a few other ramblings. Enjoy and come back often.

Three things
It's a meme. I caved. Here you go. It's called "three things."
What are the last three songs you downloaded?
"Erotica" (the album version) by Madonna
"Erotica" (the live version) by Madonna - by mistake
"Take Your Mama" by the Scissor Sisters
What are the last three places you visited?
San Diego
London
Edinburgh
What are your three favorite movies?
Casablanca - Yes, the plot has so many holes logic runs out of it like a sieve, but I'm a girl and I love it.
Bull Durham - Best baseball movie ever. Also damn well written.
Some Like It Hot
What are your three favorite possessions?
My computer
My car - for the freedom
My books - all of them
What three things can you not live without?
A creative outlet
Caffeine
And friends - I have the smartest, nicest, rootin'-tootin'-est bunch of pals. Why the keep me around is a great mystery.
What would be your three wishes?
I'd start by wishing for more wishes and more talent. After that, it gets personal. I'm not telling.
What three things haven't you done yet?
This question is poorly worded. It implies there are only three things I haven't done yet. I assure you there are many more than that. I have never, for example, been allowed to use a periscope. Aside from that, I refuse to answer on the grounds that the question is unclear.
What are your three favorite dishes?
Macaroni and cheese
Chicken tetrazzini, but only if my mom makes it
Custard anything
(I see now that there is a dairy theme. God help me should I become lactose intolerant.)
What three celebrities would you most like to have sex with?
I have no idea. Appearance doesn't turn me on that much. Arrogance induces vomiting. It's intelligence and empathy that send me purring like a pussy cat. There may not be three that qualify.
Name three things that freak you out.
Facebook - I really don't want to know what happened to the kid who sat next to me in 10th grade geometry.
The idea that I might, at some future time, have to learn to drive on the left side of the road.
Horror movies - I hate them. All of them. I'm sorry if you now think less of me.
Name three unusual things you're good at.
Running inhumanly long distances
Telling if water is at the proper temperature for blooming yeast without a thermometer
Getting rid of stuff. I am an expert closet-cleaner-outer. I live to purge.
Name three things you're coveting.
Financial freedom
Real estate
Writing a book that goes viral, gets turned into a movie and spawns a line of action figures
