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 […]
go cats
Never thought I’d see a reference of the Ohio University Bobcats logo on an Engadget entry. go cats?
fantastical freakout? I should have known
Tuesday after work I shot down to the NoHo subway center and took the red line to Hollywood and Vine. I had RSVP’d last week for the first (and only?) screening of Wayne Coin’s Christmas on Mars. When I got there (an hour before the doors were supposed to open) the line was already long. […]

silversun chevrolets
Has anyone else noticed the Silversun Pickups’ “Lazy Eye” in that chevy commercial? (seen while watching the 60 minutes story on illegal e-waste importation into China) It sounds remixed though…at one part – which is weird because then at the end it goes back to normal for the heavier part of the song. Starting to […]
Hope There’s Someone
Today I woke up at 7 to go to the City of Hope Cancer Walk. We eventually got there and parked in the giant dirt parking lot owned by Waste Management somewhere in the middle of the industrial area of the San Gabriel Valley. One shuttle later we were at the “campus” of City of […]
proposition 8 passes
Apparently there are more homophobes, mormons, knights of columbus and gullible people in California than I thought. Seriously? Half of California bought those misleading ads? Really? Aren’t republicans supposed to be AGAINST changing the constitution? I’m all confused now… Now nobody has to worry about their children being taught about gay marriage in school. wait.. […]
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 […]
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 […]
