This is the secret: don’t eat anything. I went on this plan called Isagenix: you do this nine day “cleanse” and lose weight while “cleansing” yourself. They said typical results are losing 7-8 pounds.

I lost one and a half. This was done by not eating anything for four of the nine days. The other five you have one meal a day and two “Tree Bark with just a hint of Cinnamon” shakes. That was lots of fun.

Other things I’m thinking:

• I have the Einstein rat in my apartment. It has avoided the bait traps, the electrical traps, and knows to go around the glue traps. I can’t get rid of it and it’s digging holes in my carpet and waking me up in the middle of the night. I guess I’ll have to poison it only to have it die horribly, rot, and smell bad in some place where it will be very hard to reach. Thanks, f–ing rat.
• I am very close to having one of my screenplays produced with me as a star of the movie.
• I find it ironic that I’m meeting with people talking about million dollar movie budgets when I’m scrambling to pay my rent and figuring out how much ramen to buy.
• Sometimes I wonder how long my car has until it breaks again. The transmission is being funny — of course it usually has been.
• It’s possible, due to events out here, that I may one day live in a castle of my own design.
• I know you’re out there somewhere, and somehow I’ll return again to you.

Picture for you

In Costa Mesa I went to a Japanese grill and they had Milk Green Tea. It was quite tasty, and had a cute character on top.
