You make friends with older people and you always feel young no matter what.
Albert Brooks

Relaxation is the absence of worry.
Albert Brooks
Image
I've never been disappointed, because I've never given somebody I liked that much power.
Albert Brooks
Image
Bullfights are hugely popular because you can sit comfortably with a hot dog and possibly watch a man die. It wont be me, but I can sit comfortably and watch it.

Starting to drink now in preparation for New Years. No more last minute stuff like Christmas.

Getting older is a lot of fun. Right up there with chewing glass or putting your hand in a blender.

I guess 'The Player' was a pretty good L.A. movie. And 'Chinatown.' Was there ever a better L.A. movie about a certain period in L.A.? That was terrific.
