It has been an odd week. My moods have been swiveling up and down. I spent a couple of days sick. No, not covid. Just an annoying cold. My head was fuzzy, my ears were blocked, and my nose was really runny. I had honey with tea, and that made it worse. I think I…
Bla Bla Land: Chapter 39
Judd Apatow was a simple man. He wore simple beige pants with a black polo shirt that was loosely fitted. He was cool. I couldn't believe I was in the room with him. Let me back up a little. It was my first time at the Sony lot in Culver City. It was a cloudy,…
