Arj Barker: Sickest Buddhist
This video is tremendously funny, even if you don’t live in Santa Monica.

Friday, June 3, 2011
Okay, so right off the bat know: they didn’t talk about aliens. Which was a shame, because the crowd at the Santa Monica Public Library was Ready for Contact. They were, in fact, aching for it, them and their kids, and got kinda belligerent when it didn’t happen. (After all, 64 years is a long [...]

Tuesday, May 3, 2011
I love Santa Monica so, so much. Here’s a lovely little documentary about one of the city’s neighborhoods, Ocean Park. (It’s about 20 blocks south of where I live.) BTW, anybody who tears down an amusement park or a pleasure pier should be shot. Part 1: Part 2: Part 3:

Monday, March 15, 2010
This post, like every other, blurts to you from the mouth of my book-lined cave, situated a mere six blocks from the el grande wetness here in Santa Monica. With a bright public library just down the street and the cyber-servant flickering in front of my nose, a personal library seems like a bit of [...]

Thursday, March 4, 2010
You might know Bob Harris as a writer (Who Hates Whom) or a contestant on Jeopardy! (Prisoner of Trebekistan), but to me, he’s a kvetching partner. Every six months or so, Bob and I meet for coffee at a place up the street and spend a liberating hour in the Santa Monica sunshine, lamenting the [...]

Tuesday, February 16, 2010
from LIFE.com’s Picks of the Week: “In January 1952, starlet Marilyn Monroe — just 25 years old, and fresh off another tiny but scene-stealing role in As Young as You Feel — captivated fellow partygoers at the Club Del Mar in Santa Monica, Calif. She was there to accept one of the first awards of [...]

Tuesday, December 15, 2009
I’m not Jewish, though for about sixteen reasons I might as well be. Even so, I do appreciate a good Tom Lehrer song, especially when it applies to my life.

Thursday, October 8, 2009
I gotta say, this cheered me up no end; it’s a photo snapped by a local surfer last weekend. I love me some white sharks, and to know that at least one ten-footer is cruising around (and leaping into the air!) less than a mile from where I am typing this makes me QUITE EXCITED!!!! [...]
Continue reading...“I AM Woody Guthrie!”
Sunday, March 22, 2009
Last Wednesday, I witnessed David Carradine’s public implosion at my home-away-from-home, the Aero Theater here in Santa Monica. (Favorite bit: Carradine declaring “I am Woody Guthrie!” and an irate audience member shouting back “No, you’re not!”). My pesky Midwestern politeness prevented me from blogging about it–though not from performing it for my wife when I [...]

Tuesday, June 3, 2008
(Folks, I wrote this a couple of weeks ago for fun. I had vague notions of trying to sell it, but realized over the weekend that I couldn’t possibly do so in time. The wheels of publishing grind ever-so-slowly. So, enjoy.) I JUST WANT TO HELP THE TEAM All of us who follow NBA basketball [...]

For 30 years, Ravin fans wondered: What if Tom Larkin had survived? Now, the story can be told.
Mixing alternative history, hardboiled noir, parody and satire, Life After Death for Beginners is a must-read for every Beatles fan. "A cross between The Rutles and Three Days of the Condor. I loved it."—Jonathan Schwarz
