Saturday morning I headed to the local Home Depot to find a new kitchen faucet. The model that I wanted (I needed one with a white finish, and they had only three) couldn’t be found. The inventory system showed six remaining, but the attendant couldn’t figure out where they were. So, I was off to […]
when hell freezes over
We’ve been having very strange weather in the valley lately. The other day it was hailing. Yesterday the wind was blowing so hard it blew apart a power cable on top of the office. Today I woke up to a sight that I hadn’t seen in four previous winters in Los Angeles. Yes, that is […]
art wha?
On Thursday night Aaron and I met up for what will possibly be the last Art Walk for me for two years (my classes will be on Thursday nights). We hit up the Hive gallery first – as that always seems to be the best. Once again it was the only gallery with any pieces […]

art walk November
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 […]

mogwai
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 […]
goblin shark
get ripped
I don’t think I mentioned this to anyone, but at the tail end of May, some asshole stole my Visa number (somehow) and used it to buy a pair of $300 montblanc sunglasses online. The weird thing is that this account is the one I rarely use to buy anything – I really only use […]
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 […]
