Proud and privileged to say I have a fun role as Dr. Zeidy in Chris & Dori Carter's new feature film, Queens For A Day, which is currently making the rounds of the Canadian film festival circuit. Real pleasure to work with them on this very personal, heartfelt project.

It's pretty cool that the prominently placed Google AI search summary thinks that this item - which the actual links clearly show only popped up a day ago as a gag post on social media and reddit - is a completely real thing with key features that you can by for 12 dollars.

The list of top search results for "anko personal key keeper." Every one is a link to a shitpost on IG, reddit, and Facebook.

I mean, just think of the amount of work it must take to make this face look like a 64 year-old man!

This show debuted the same year as 30 Rock. There was a big kerfuffle in the Hollywood press over whether there was room in the fall lineup for two shows based on SNL. The answer was: Not when one of them is absolutely awful.

Tuning in to the 10th anniversary concert. I've only been in this country for a short time now but I remember watching it live in my tiny living room in LA and being carried away by the sense of unity, celebration, and loss that carried across those long miles. Rest In Peace to a real one.

I'm just saying: if you described this room to your D&D party, you could throw out whatever other encounters you had planned for the session. They're spending all night investigating Area 27.) Pink Brick Square Floor Hole in Wall with Panel.

A basement room with blue walls. In the middle of the wall is a large brick wall painted pink. To one side the brick has a round hole in it filled with brown insulation. In front of the wall is a square area in the carpet that is tan brick. To the left of the pink brick section is a blue panel which sticks out from the wall. The place most likely had a fireplace in it at one time but now there's just enough emptiness that the whole thing looks vaguely ominous.
