Welcome to PALIN country! You’ve come a long way, baby! (taken a few hundred feet up the road — and two months after the election — from the house I grew up in) On Monday morning I awoke at an ungodly hour (PST) to ride to Columbus and meet up with my cousin and two […]
Sunday
On Sunday I woke up to home-made buttermilk blueberry waffles with homemade apple syrup and homemade apple juice (are you noticing a theme here). There was also sausage -but we didn’t kill the pigs. In the early afternoon I headed over to my old friend Kenny’s house. I hadn’t seen Kenny since just before I […]
Saturday
On Saturday the majority of my mother’s extended family came for a christmas visit. Many of these relatives I hadn’t seen since thanksgiving 2003 (if my memory is correct). Most of them didn’t look much older (except for the kids). One of my cousins looked a lot more like me without the Harley Davidson facial […]
Friday
We had our christmas on Friday this year since I was flying on the (not) actual day of the christ child’s birth. Here are some photos. Yummy homemade spaghetti with homegrown tomatoes in the sauce. Of course you can’t see any of that since I murdered it with a pound of cheese. On a trip […]
Leaky Part II
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 […]
target markets
uhhhh… really? woody and spicy? If it looks like piss… smells like piss… must be…
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 […]
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 […]
