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...
