On Friday Byron and I were all set to go to Shamshiri before he hoofed it to Disneyland, but we were alerted via Justin to an impromptu car show unfolding in the previously-known-as-albertson’s parking lot. Here are some shots: Really well kept Camaro. Is this a challenger? Reminds me of Death Proof. This funky piece […]
The Weirdest Birthday. Part II
Yesterday in the mail came a nondescript manila envelope. The return address was from my uncle. It was then I remembered him asking me for my address as he wanted to send me something from my distant past. I opened up the envelope and in between pieces of cardboard were several drawings and coloring book […]
The weirdest birthday. Part 1
So this is shaping up to be the weirdest birthday. Since my birthday technically isn’t for another three days I’m going to chop this up into parts in case anything else strange happens. Part one involves a rather large styrofoam package being delivered to my office: Upon opening…. And finally, contents are revealed: One very […]

Byron Day 4
On Day Four we headed across town on the 101 to Silverlake to visit the Wacko “Soap Store” and De Jesus Gallery. While parking outside the first meter stole our money. We were amused (recall my recent blog about the new meme) by the flashing “FAIL” sign. (yes, I know this is on all meters […]
Day #3
For Day #3 we headed to Pasadena to start off our day with Afloat Sushi. Well technically I started off my day with two hours of quant problems on Queueing theory – but that isn’t very exciting, is it? After filling up with rice and fish we went to the Norton Simon and walked the […]
Day #2

When you’re friends with B
yesterday Byron drove into town from Las Vegas (by way of Phoenix and San Antonio). He waited for me to get off of work at the LampLighter restaurant. Although I’ve worked down the street (literally) for four years, I’d never been inside before. The LampLighter is another one of those quaint Los Angeles restaurants that […]
gentle nudge
On the way to visit a friend of mine I passed by Pierce College on Winnetka. Right about the area where that big truck is traffic stopped suddenly (which isn’t unusual). I heard “scrreeeeeach” and then “kablam!”… I’d been rearended. I almost made it three years, but LA traffic got to me. Apprently I didn’t […]
stupidity sighting
People can be so stupid. This dog is obviously not a breed of dog known for its cuteness. Yet here is a picture of a moron letting their kid draw on it and uploaded to a website called “cute overload!” This is a most excellent idea to be spreading around… That dog could kill that […]
