On Saturday afternoon I went to a friend’s birthday party. He assembled a nine person crew to race a mini grand prix at K1 Kart Racing in Gardena. This friend I met in class at Pepperdine. This was his third birthday race so of course most of the other attendees had racing experience. One of […]
The fonz
Just saw henry winkler walk into westside tavern.
the slow sting of the sliding economy
Although I’ve been “largely” unaffected by the economy there are a few things that have happened recently. A few weeks ago the company I work for stopped their matching (although it was already a small percentage) contributions to our 401Ks. Yesterday I got a message from the host of my business site (a different host […]
ouch! that didn’t hurt
On Friday morning I went into Wilshire Center Dental to get my perio graft surgery. I didn’t realize until that morning that I was actually going to be awake for the procedure. That was a weird experience. First the doctor swabs you with anesthetic, then comes back later with needles. Some I felt and some […]
another one of my favorite songs used in a tv commercial
This is a snippet from the song “Auto Rock” which opens Mogwai’s 2006 album Mr. Beast. There are two or three really great songs on this album that showcase the heavier side of Mogwai. Auto Rock leads into track 2 which is Glasgow Mega Snake. Here is an overdubbed video of them performing that song […]
art walk July 2009
Art Walk July started off with a hodgepodge of arty things in the old bank (?) building. Everything was pretty mediocre (combo drawings of cartoon women with playboy centerfolds…what a brilliant idea…) but I happened to look at the name on a few “interesting” photos. Mark Mothersbaugh. Can’t say I liked these photos (after all, […]
remember the positive
I forgot to mention while I was complaining in the last post that it has actually been a full year since I’ve come down with any sort of serious illness. I’ve felt like I was coming down with the sniffles a few times, but I beat it into submission quickly with lots of water and […]
not yet
My back started hurting today around 3pm. Just sort of a random pain in the mid…back… area of the back. I was perplexed until I was reminded that I helped Cindy move on Sunday. Why is my body turning into an old man’s body? About two months ago I noticed that I did something to […]
Independence Dume (it’s pronounced “do me”)
Like any good patriotic American I started off my Saturday with the first showing of Transformers. I left three hours later with one hell of a headache, and I don’t normally get headaches. I wasn’t expecting it to be a thrilling story – but Michael Bay (and Spielberg??) have hit a new low. Transformer testicles? […]
omgz!!@#$@#$!@#!
So I almost added a verse to this song when I saw this video: Apparently the Pre plays games faster than the Iphone 3GS and this guy hacked it to show it can play N64 Playstation games. I can’t wait to play super mario kart with someone in Idaho on my Pre…. I’m not […]
