A Couple of Things Before I Hit The Road

Another busy day today... just wanted to make a few notes before I hit the road and start visiting clients.

If you have a television that's capable of this, tune into Oregon Public Broadcasting and set your audio to the simulcast chanel. You'll hear me read the news, weather, and some opinion pieces in a show produced by local actor Duane Hanson. It's a service of OPB for visually impared people who can't read the newspaper, and it happens on the second audio chanel every Wednesday from 6 - 8.

I'm not sure how to explain the technical details more than I already have - if your TV remote has an "Audio" button that lets you switch your signal to a different audio chanel, check it out.

I'm auditioning for another independent film this weekend called Sum of the Parts. A lot of the film has been shot already, but they still need a couple of actors to finish the film. I don't know if I'm
what the director is looking for or not, but I'll give it a shot. To see a promotional clip from the film, click here.

We went out to dinner on Sunday with our good friends Karen and Riley Caton. The restaurant we ate at, Plainfields Mayur, is simply incredible! It's got some of the best Indian food in the city (in fact, they've been ranked in the top 30 restaurants in the country), and a wine cellar to die
for. It's not cheap (entrees range from $18 - $30), but if you're looking for an elegant night out with some fantastic food, I'd highly recommend this place. They take good care of you and the food is
AWESOME!!

The shadow of Joseph Goebbels is alive and well. We've all known for a while that the Bush administration has been engaging in propaganda - they were cited for it by the General Accounting
Office (that's illegal, in case your wondering). We've also known for a while that Fox News is essentially the media arm of the Republican Party. Why keep this cozy relationship "under wraps?" Why not just announce the marriage of the administration and its mouthpiece by making a Fox
News commentator and conservative radio show host the new Press Secretary?
Why, it's a match made in heaven, I tell ya! I'm thinking they only made Tony Snow press secretary because Jeff Gannon couldn't find time in his busy escort schedule to take the job.

Sigh.. In the words of the great Rick Emerson, "don't let the bastards grind you down."
