Body Parts At The Laundromat

There’s a tooth in my washer!!!!! Oh my God that’s disgusting. I’ll never use that washer again. People, if you lose a toof, put it under your pillow. Just don’t put it in your pocket and forget about it. Eh hem. Good grief. I wonder what awaits me in the dryer? Anybody lose a molar?

Sunday Mornin’ French Toast

French Toast with Canadian maple syrup and fruit compote $8.50. After brunch at Campanile/La Brea Bakery [LINK] the parental units wanted to go Farmers Market and then to the Beverly Center. It’s been a very 3rd Street day. You do know meat has artifical coloring right? It’s not red because it’s bloody. I’m also currently […]

Humble Pie Marketing Suggestion

I have an idea. If Humble Pie [LINK] was to release another album, say some unearthed live recordings, they should distribute them via swap meets worldwide. That’s about the only place you can buy a Humble Pie album these days anyway, so why not take it straight to the fans? Brilliant, eh? After walking around […]

Life Imitates Art Imitates Life

Read The Fine Print First

I love trips to the market. Although, today I snuck out on my Whole Foods [LINK] and cheated on her with the nearby Ralphs [LINK] market. I feel ashamed but I needed food and some household things like towels and lightbulbs. She can’t provide that so I went looking elsewhere. The sexy allure of overstocked […]

Savons Parfum?ɬ©s De France

Ya see, about 5 years ago I took a little journey to Paree. I accidently left behind any sort of hygiene products on my rush out the door. So after a day or two in Paris I really wanted to find some deodorant and other little nicities. Surprisingly, or not surprisingly, deodorant is bit hard […]

Chillin’ With Nicky

Another in a long line of cats that does absolutely nothing all day. I know, I sat and watched her do nothing today. Yep, nothin’. Absolutely nothing.

Oh My God. Not More Art.

As my New Years Resolution I have personally vowed to try out every web based fad this year. Stupid, or otherwise. I will begin with Mr. Picassohead [LINK]. Which I quite like. I still have to show my iPod [LINK], and flip off a Hummer [LINK]. Other great fads of the past include, “What’s your […]

Finally!

After having to deal with the cold all week we finally got the snow. A little late as now I have to deal with it at the airport and don’t get to enjoy it much. Included in the fun was two de-icings of planes. Which I thought was mildly interesting because I’ve never had to […]

Tacos (tah-ko’s) anyone?

Day 3, Boise. Find something to do. Ok, well, there’s the pink flamingo display down the road, there’s some fire hydrants down that way, how ’bout the co-op food store? Or there’s the Basque section of town where I was able to purchase a paellera. I also picked up some paella recipes and saffron. Oh […]

Dog

This is the view I had all week. A giant wet nose looking at me. Kelsie needs more attention than any dog, ever. She just won’t let it go. All you have to do is put your hand on her head and she’s happy. Unfortunately you have to do that all day long. She’s one […]

Where The Hell Is Boy Zee?

Hopped a flight to Boise, Idaho this morning to see my sister. It’s more northerly then San Francisco and since my North American travel ceases to exist much farther north of that (besides Seattle), Boise has never really been on my radar. Idaho really does exist! I saw it on the maps and stuff but […]

Christmas Eve Oddness

I thought I’d go out for a drive tonight to see if I could discover some Christmas Eve oddness. There just has to be something weird going on tonight. Only took me about 15 minutes. After my bizarre run in with Sci-entol-ogists at Leicester Square in London I just had to get a closer look […]

It’s Been A Long Time Since I Rock and Rolled

MAG TIME DEPTH & LOCATION6.5 11:15am 7.6k 7 mi NE of San Simeon, CA An “I feel dizzy” earthquake hit today. I’ve grown to love the occasional excitement from an earthquake. Felt in San Francisco and all the way down to L.A. They’re about equidistant from the epicenter, so it makes sense. Still nothing like […]

Christmas In L.A. We Love it. We Love It.

Unbelievable sunset tonight. On the way down to a holiday party I had to pull over to check this out. My one camera battery that I was carrying died. So much for photos of the party. Dammit there better be Egg Nog. That stuff is devilish it’s so good. All the usual suspects are expected […]

Lard Of The Rings: Return Of The King

Clocking in at a hefty 3.5 hours. It’s either a marathon session of holding back pee, or not drinking and having cotton mouth. In Titanic, there’s a nice lull after after the sex scene in the car. That’s a good bathroom break time for that film. I was determined to sit this one through. No […]

Bob Z.

Today at work my supervisor came by my office to give me a little box and said Happy Holidays from Bob. As in Bob Z?? Cool. I doubt I’ll ever meet him and wonder if he personally chose these gifts, but still. I’m not sure if he [LINK] actually goes by Bob Z., or if […]

Big ‘Ol Holiday Party

All this week I was planning on going to this big behemoth party on the lot. Suddenly I got in the hot seat at work, so I did the good worker bee thing and decided to stick it out to make someone look good tomorrow. Even though I really wanted to go pawty. Round about […]

Festivus 2.0

So, blah, blah, blah Saddam was captured. I went to this Festivus 2.0 [LINK] party Saturday night. Which just kicked ass. Way bigger than last years Festivus 1.0. Lots of people I knew and Jay [LINK] had it catered by the Double Dutch Dinette [LINK] in Culver City. Which also kicked ass because he could […]
