This is Aaron when he's finally off work from slaving over a hot computer making Dreamworks magic.

He and I hungout at Roman's and talked about a new movie he and some friends are making that sounds like a cross between, "Apocalypse Now" and "Diner" only totally different.

I'm very excited for him.

This is Sam after a few celebratory drinks wearing my sunglasses before he knocked over a drink and covered me and my books "Agitator" about Takashi Miike and "Dogme Uncut" in booze.



He felt so bad about it that he had even more drinks.

Sam is so great. Every time I spend more time with him, I find out about another multimillion dollar business he owns.

I think Sam is scared about me talking with his daughter after what I wrote a few days back. He may not completely understand my humor the way you do and the way you've come to love me after all this time.

This is Ben, Sam's partner who I've told you about before.



I met Ben's beautiful wife, but Persian guys never introduce you to their women. They are very possessive and are afraid you might look at their possessions.

I introduced myself.

She's great and smart. I immediately asked her if she had any single girlfriends. You never know I might know some single guys.

I take it Persian women only like Persian men.

I had a Persian cat once and it only liked the Persian rug to pee on.

Tanya showed up and we talked a bit about her new job. She dances at some club where they serve meat or something like that...

I tried to listen to her, but she is so pretty, it's hard to listen and look at the same time.



I should point out that this dude in the photo is not her boyfriend. I made them stand this close in the photo. So for all the guys who have been e-mailing me about Tanya, don't worry...

She's dude free.
