For the past four weeks I’ve worked on a monstrous project. I decided I wanted to digitize the old Pusher and EM recordings. These only exist on cassette tape. I pulled out my box o’ tapes and started going through them several weeks ago. I found 54 tapes. From that I gleaned over five hours […]
into the misty mountains
On Saturday Amy and I went to Denny’s for a free brunch with coupons she’d obtained from her brother. From there we headed up into Angeles National Forest on one of the most dangerous roads in America – Angeles Crest Highway. It was overcast and we didn’t really know what we were doing. I had […]
Flux
I haven’t posted in a long time I suppose. I went to Black Angus with Amy and her family on Thanksgiving. I was glad to get a meal with other people on that day, but none of us were particularly impressed with the restaurant, it was my first time. I did get my music recording […]
Episode 7: “One Expensive Cat” in The Neverending Saga of the Most Beat Up 20 Month Old Car in the World
In the past month or two I’ve noticed that the parking garage in my building has some cats. Stray cats I assume. I’ve seen them more than a few times, but I’ve also seen their handiwork in the form of little prints all over my (previously spotless) car. On Sunday Amy and I decided to […]
Omega sucks
Ugh! Dammit… Omega changed the date and time of the commercial shoot. Now they are shooting at 8am the day after Thanksgiving. If I worked for a school I’d have the day off, but I don’t…so I can’t…
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, […]
Iyves, the $500,000 man
As you know from my last postings, my car was in the shop all last week. Monday through Thursday I drove a puke yellow Hyundai Elantra everywhere. On Thursday Amy picked me up from work and concurrently met with Dr. Veis (the president of ATG … where I work) for a TMJ consultation. He determined […]
california real estate market
here is how bad the California real estate market is: 400 miles from Los Angeles and 100 miles from San Francisco you can get your little girl a play-house for the “steal” of 235k. And it comes with a plot of land the size of a two-car garage, yay! The reason California has the most […]
happy birthday
Happy birthday, Mom!
around
Some moving and shaking has come and gone since we last spoke. I tried painting again, armed with brand new tools and supplies. I failed again and gave up again. I’m starting to think that drawing and painting are more separate acts than outside observers believe. Over the course of the past week or so […]
