So Pete Carol is moaning that USC might not get into the big party. Boo hoo for you. DON’T LOSE TO AN UNRANKED TEAM! Ordinarily I’d agree with the coach, but not this year. After bemoaning OSU getting picked over USC last year (even though they lost to Stanford) I have no sympathy. We lost to […]
more unknown band usage in popular media
I was watching election coverage on Foxnews (yes, I thought it would be interesting to watch the coverage from the Death Star) over dinner. They cut to an extended commercial for the upcoming “epic” film Australia. A very mellow instrumental song started playing in the background. As it became obvious that the commercial was a […]
day of the dead
On Sunday Justin let me know that there was a “car show” happening down the street. We went to investigate and found some interesting things at the Canoga Park Day of the Dead Festival.. I parked a few blocks down on Remmet. When I walked up to Sherman way I was greeted by a full […]
I hung my head

However, I just noticed that in the War of the Worlds “meet your neighbor” scene spoof the music that plays louder and louder is obviously […]
Chase Park
On Saturday morning Cindy and I headed to Chase Park in Woodland Hills. She had asked me to take some photos of her doing her kettlebell thing for her website. She returned the favor and took some of me as well. This is what I look like when waving to the crowd. This is what […]
Our Country is going to hell
So I was watching CNBC at 10:30 on a Friday night. and I see…
I’ve been saying this for a while
Interesting article (I can only imagine the angry letters from women in this guy’s inbox…).
how the economy affects me
2008 saw the cancellation of a few long-term freelance projects I was working on. I was curious last night and ran the financial numbers… My gross income at year’s end is going to be less than the previous year for the first time in my life. After running the numbers – it took me 9 […]
