Tomb Raider RULES!!!

I just defeated the Guardian -- the Big Boss of some of the Tomb Raider Games -- for Tomb Raider: The Golden Mask!!!

YAY!!!

This is AFTER I collected all 12 secrets throughout the first 4 levels to unlock the Bonus Level! So I actually got to kill the Guardian TWICE!!! (It's a bastard, it deserves to die twice!)

Also, Brian became indoctrinated into THE WEST WING yesterday!!! I watched the first side of the first disc of Season 1 with him last night, and maybe the first half of the second side. But then I had to goto bed. He may have finished up the second side.

But I'm just excited he is experiencing the genius that is Aaron Sorkin!

AND THOSE ACTORS!

Also, I gotto watch this, like, 3-hour documentary on the 1933 KING KONG... TWICE! It's on the bonus disc of the KING KONG 2-disc Special Edition. I still haven't watched the flick, though. Monday night I fell asleep, like, 20 minutes into it -- because I had stayed up all night watching the documentary.

I mean, I've seen the original several times. But this particular copy has some 29 shots re-instated, after 1938 censors decided that American audiences wouldn't be able to handle the violence -- even though they handled it just fine 5 years before.

So I look forward to seeing the KONG that 1933 audiences saw!

LA Adventures: A Photographic Memoir

Here are the much-heralded pics.

These are some views from the air that Brian took on our way to Cali.


















































This is Kelly's pad.


















His address actually has a one-forth in it!!!


















This is a cool shot of the Kel's alley that Brian took!


















This one's blurry, but I love the colors! This is just us hanging out in front of Kel's appartment. (He doesn't smoke inside. Wise, but inconvenient.)


















More of us hanging out.

































This is The Core in the morning. Pretty, huh? This is Kelly NOT getting up...


















Here's Brian, sans coffee.



























This is Kelly coming out of the shower, and Tommy's ass. (That boy works out!)




























And who's THIS cheeky monkey?






















I LOVE this one!!! This is us as we're leaving the expo on the first day!



















And this is Spooky The Thing What Squeaks on the Los Angeles subway with Brian and Tommy...


















Then here's Spooky on the New York subway, back in 2002!!!

















Brian and Tommy actually ON the subway. They're probably discussing something cool, but I'm too busy playing tourist.



















This is inside the big hall, where all the featured screenwriters are interviewed and and Q&A-ed. (Can I make that a verb?) This is 2:00 pm on Saturday. I've included helpful notes and demarcations.


















































I call this one "A Genius In Profile"...



















I call this one "Someone Please Save That Guy In The Guinness Shirt From The Critter Beside Him!" That's me and Kal.



















Lunch break before seeing Paul Haggis.


















Kelly and Tommy.



















The Edwards Boys.



















The Staples Center -- right next to the Los Angeles Convention Center -- looks SO COOL lit up at night! That's Kel, Kal, T-Bone and Brian.



















This is me, Brian and Kelly out behind the Convention Center.



















And Brian, Kelly and Tommy here...



















And our evening routine: Hang out outside Kelly's apartment and smoke and chat. (I'm reading an article in ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY there.)

































And Spooky's out there with us...




















I feel this pics are self-explainatory...













































Santa Monica Pier.



















This pic is at the end of the pier, looking BACK at the beach! Plus, check it out: The symbol for Santa Monica (as seen embeded into the trash can) is apparently a psycho Pac-Man with sideburns! (Ya gotta look close...)












































This is Brian and me taking a smoke break in the only place it's allowed on the Santa Monica Pier...























































Kelly had to wait for one of us to finish before he could smoke...




















I think this picture is perfectly self-explainatiory, too...

















DUDE!!! And I just stumble upon this!!! One of the greatest writers TV has EVER known!!! The guy who shapped our imaginations in ways we'll never fully know!!!



















And, of course, I gotta touch it...






























This is another under-rated genius!!! Seriously! We didn't see HOW responsible he was for the genius and fun of The Muppets until after he was gone. One of the funniest cats that has ever walked this planet!!!




















A couple of filmmaking GODS...


































Speaking of Comedy geniuses... This is the Marx brothers!!! Their handprints and footprints are kind of all over the place there. (Go rent HORSE FEATHERS immediately!!!)

































This is Griffith park! You can see the Hollywood sign between Brian and me... if you kinda squint a little...


















And walking is a GREAT way to take in the view here in griffith Park, but another great way...



















...is a fly-by.



































You can barely see one of the domes of the famous Griffith Observatory between Kelly and Brian...




















OOH!!! Brian caught these! Sunset from above the clouds!!!


































And this one's just purdy! (Another Brian Edwards exclusive photo.) I don't even know what city it is. It's just pretty!!!
