If you have three minutes in Santa Monica, swing by the Santa Monica Museum of Art. Not only is there a gigantic cactus garden planted in an old Mercedes, there is an epic video installation by Marco Brambilla. My favorite piece being the gigantic 3D video collage showing the evolution of man through cinema. You’ll [...]

At a recent trip to The Getty, two things happened. First, baby Audrey excitedly pointed out that “The Getty Museum” sounds a lot like “Spaghetti Museum.” Imagine her disappointment when we finally arrived… Second, Ms. Spaghetti Pants fell asleep in the Ergo carrier for awhile and I got a chance to fall in love with [...]

The past few months I’ve been shooting a few eco-fashion videos, writing some eco-friendly articles, running BTC, and thoroughly neglecting my blog. Yikes! But I’m alive, kicking, and back in blog action. Here are some quick links to what I’ve been up to. Writing: Whole Life Times – “Don’t Get Mat, Get Active” My new [...]

The hub worked on the new Ludo album that just came out… last week we stopped by the Roxy in West Hollywood to say hey and check them out on tour. These guys always put on a phenomenal show… so I put together this little eco-fashion outfit for occasion: Exhibit A: Gold and silver earrings [...]

I’m back from vacay, here are the articles I enjoyed catching up on.. Episode 5: Down the drain I’ll do a lot for the environment, but the buck stops at composting on my small (yet fruitful) porch. Check out what Malmo, Sweden is doing to turn garbage disposal food waste into power. Yay! Los Angeles [...]

Me: Hey dude. My buddy Siel: Hey, thanks for picking me up. Me: Sure. I’m loving your new bag. Siel: Thanks. The turtleneck again, huh? Me: I know, I wore it last time. It’s very Diane Keaton. Siel: Diane Keaton looks great for her age. Me: Yeah, I saw her at Shutters awhile back… wearing [...]

After five days of pelting down rain, there was lil break Saturday morning. And we took advantage… above, a shot I took at the vista of a great hike in Temescal canyon that the hub, me, and our bud PB went on. It’s not often that you get blue skies, snow on the mountains and [...]

A little over a year and a half ago, I started a porch garden. It’s been sort of a trial and error extravaganza. I’ve learned that plastic containers are not so good for plants and that dill gets covered in bugs faster than I can say, “organic”…. and that if you play your cards right [...]

Yes, yesterday I had a root canal. In Hollywood. I didn’t really think anything of it, but when I walked into the waiting room there were headshots everywhere. It was actually comforting to see these movie stars smiling down on me from the wall, thanking my new endodontist for his “kindness” “painlessness” and other affirmative [...]

One of my favorite things about resolutions is that if you stick to them all year, they’re habit forming. For ex, take 2003 when I gave up soda. At the time, I was teaching 8th grade at my local public school, and also drinking three diet cokes a day to keep my bouncy teacher energy [...]
