Thursday night I met up with Aaron at the NoHo station to head to the November downtown art walk. We were meeting two other friends, but they wouldn’t show up until later. The Hive had interesting work as always, including one piece by Chet Zar (a friend of Adam Jones). Unfortunately I couldn’t get a […]
boo hoo
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 […]

After work I zipped to North Hollywood to meet Aaron for dinner at pitfire before heading over to the NoHo Metro station to hop on the red line to go down to the Wiltern. Halfway there I realized the red line didn’t go to the Wiltern. We’d have to make a transfer at Wilshire and […]

Monday back to school
Our friends left for LA Saturday night, so Sunday morning Beverly took me on a tour of her Alma Mater – UCSB. First we went to her old “dorms” off campus – which felt more like a resort community to me. We went into the old recreation facility and Beverly started playing piano – a […]
the joys of home ownership (parts 1&2 together)
We’ll start with the plumbing fiasco. On the 10th of July I received at work (but didn’t answer) a few calls from Justin. When I called him back he informed me that we had an “emergency” and a plumber was in our unit wanting to cut up the wall. I told him not to let […]

For this site I’ll be using photo-realism techniques for the main layout for the first time. On LongImage I’ll have a much more extensive portfolio. I have between 10 and […]
viewpoints
then you’ve got people like this going the other way. These people assert that Peak Oil is a scam… A scam perpetrated by our government to control the world population in order to dominate it… Too often Peak Oil “fansites” are linked to scientific articles while these “Peak Oil is a scam” sites are linked […]
Pining for the Cuco
Nothing makes you feel dumber than calling the bank and asking for a stop-payment on your check…..to yourself. Last week I put in a transfer of funds order with my savings account. I thought I was transferring money from savings to my checking account. I was doing it so I could pay off my car, […]
great…so …
so today makes it seven times this week that I’ve been spammed…. my only recourse to stop this is make everyone who wants to comment register. Isn’t it ironic that the first guy to complain to me about getting notices every time there are spam replies to all his posts…is the same guy that moaned […]
