ABECEDARIAN: (adj) of or relating to the alphabet

My To Do List.  

I live and die by the acronym.  Whether it's MTLP, SF, RT, JMF, RB or just WTF, everything has it's abbreviation.

An Abecedarian Tale of Smug Satisfaction

Not unlike how no one but you is allowed to call your sister a stupid bitch, I don't like people complaining about my computer. (The mouse is too sensitive! The keys are so small! You've hidden all the programs in a folder!) Well, it's MINE, mine to do with whatever I please. Go get your own precious dull moused, big-keyed laptop, big messy programs arranged all willy-nilly! Be my guest! But you leave Puppy alone! (My computer's name is Puppy, yes...) 

Xmas '08: I got a gift of skull 'n' crossbones themed keyboard stickers from my mom. They take forever to apply, especially if you're anal retentive like me, but apply I did, and it took all night. The intended end result? See picture above. Sweet! The cool additional bonus result? It's REALLY hard to type on it, unless you're a skilled keyboardist who's totally used to it, like me! Most of the former complainers simply give up and use Stephen's new laptop instead. And I get to enjoy Puppy all by myself (even though she is a stupid bitch sometimes).

BROMIDE: (n) commonplace or tiresome

DC is not known for it's impact on the fashion world as you'll see by this gentleman at 11th Street @ New York  Avenue NW.  Sporting the blue shirt and khaki pants uniform of the working masses...(and Blockbuster employees).  However, in DC's defense there is a pretty great fashion scene starting to make some splashes with things like Worn Magazine & Stacy London's Style for Hire.

Hold on... Bromide is the very first "word of the week" in this blog and this is the very first photo that I took with my hipstamatic app, of the first table read of one of the plays in our company's first Christmas show fundraiser. It's fate or something!

Actresses are a dime a dozen. Bitchtastic know-it-alls are too. The two often go hand-in-hand, especially in LA... (As an actor, writer, and producer, I say this with the full authority that these titles grant me.) One might even say that they're commonplace...tiresome....b r o m i d e. And the nonsense they spout off without the slightest mental screening ("This line is stupid. Why would my character say this? I would never say this!") is so common around here that it's also bromide. It's sometimes hard to believe that someone so ridiculously over-the-top could be so commonplace in your world that you now fail to respond in the way you once would. Indignant! Outraged! Thirsty for justice! Nope. We just fired her and hired someone else that same day. But that's the way it works. A dime a dozen, I tell you. A dime a dozen. Yawn. Bromide...
