I've been learning to cook. When Jilly travels for work, she's gone for at least a week or two at a time and neither my wallet nor my waist can afford to eat out of a box, bag, or foil wrapper for that long. Tonight, with a little phone help from Jilly, my Mama, and Kraft, I successfully* made a meatloaf!*considering five minutes had passed and I still hadn't blown it back out either end.

It was my turn to write our Japanese game show paradoy "Happy Go Fridays Kids Show Go!" for Fridays. Here's some of what we got from our shoot this past weekend:

I've received several questions the past few days pertaining to the cost of the Fridays "Haunted House" set. It is rather impressive so I can understand your curiosity. Remember Arlene that I spoke of in an earlier post? Well, here she is, hard at work as always:Arlene is our producer on Fridays. She handles all the stuff that we don't, or shouldn't, handle, namely money. Oftimes, you can

This is the Fridays "Haunted House" set for October. It's definitely a fixer-upper.

The entire Cartoon Network Program Production team was at Turner Studios this weekend shooting Fridays. Here's the entire Cartoon Network Program Production team:Me, Andy, Steve, and Lammy the Incontinent Lamb.There's one more person, Arlene, on the Fridays team, and I don't know where she was when we took this; perhaps she was actually working. We're shooting October shows with Tommy and Tara

Oh yeah, Hillbilly fans! I've been gone a long while, but now I'm BACK! I've started a new job at Cartoon, I've got a new girlfriend, and it's football season! As you can see from my previous post, it was last football season. So basically, I suck. But since Blogger has gotten fancier and I can post all kinds of different ways, I'll do it more often. More pictures, more posts, more

A couple of Fridays ago, my boss took our department on a retreat to Chateau Elan, a resort / spa / winery just north of Atlanta. It's quite beautiful and, being in the country, a serene place, with golf courses and misty vineyards surrounding the hotel and chateau. There were plans for horseback riding, I picturing myself trotting out of the chateau's stables atop my noble steed, surveying

So, I take a taxi from my apartment to the Home Depot. That was $32 including tip. I have my Blazer towed to Cobb Parkway Chevrolet, which was a long way. The tow truck driver charged me $125. Cash. No check or credit card. Cash. Jerk. Then the service guy at the Chevy place tells me the labor to take off the wheel and look at the problem was going to be between $45 and $97. He said he

I'm supposed to be on vacation this week. Today is the first of what should have been a relaxing few days, with an election day thrown in to mix things up. Well, yesterday I'm going to see a friend of mine and the brakes screwed up on my Blazer. The same new brakes that a guy and I put on a few months ago. I can't drive it at all. So now my Blazer sits outside a Home Depot halfway across the

No, you can't have one 'cause they're all gone. Sorry. But feel free to print the logo at the top of the page and make your own. You're crafty. Heck...you found this stupid blawg.

(The following was written a few days before my 100 LBS. Extravaganza while I was also preparing to deliver the customary speech. I wanted to say something at the party about my good friend Yvette, only realizing the day of that I had already done just that in the blawg. So I pretty much delivered what you see here, with a few embellishments. -- M.) Well, folks, I've made it over the hump.

Alright...I know I ain't blawgged for a while. I promise it'll happen a lot more, at least once a week. I found the following as I was looking through my little notebook recently. This was witnessed by my boss in the lobby of The Argyle, our hotel in L.A. back during my shoot.

My niece, Lillian Elizabeth, was born yesterday morning 2/17/2004 at 8:09a est. She weighed 6 lbs. 2 oz., and was 19". You can call her Lily. I'll post pictures as soon as I get 'em.

It’s been so dang busy and hectic at work that I haven’t bothered to update you guys. But I’m definitely going to try harder. So here goes… My shoot in LA went great! My cast was perfect - the kids were awesome and the lady playing “The Aunt” was amazing. I still can’t get over how well they all worked together. Basically, the spot followed a little guy all dressed up going to visit his aunt.

I’m just an ole boy born and raised in Athens, GA who watched a little too much television and movies growing up. But with the help of a little schoolin’ and a lot of luck, I got a chance to work in the on-air creative department of Cartoon Network. I write and produce promos, interstitials, etc. for the network – that’s all the stuff what don’t appear to be a commercial or an actual program.
