Don’t do it little bug! Life is worth living. You are loved. You’re kinda ugly, but that’s no reason to leap. It’s 7 stories straight down. After talking to him a bit I found out he was just their to enjoy the sunset and city lights. Kinda like me, but with a much more dangerous […]
L.A. has the best sunsets during the summer. Brilliant colors when there are no clouds, and brilliant colors when there are clouds. It doesn’t matter. I had to pick my parents up from Union Station in downtown for their trip to Michigan. I went a little early and walked over to Olvera Street and hung […]
Today the Gods of Wireless Networking looked down upon me and smiled. With no real place for my new Apple Airport Extreme, the only logical space seemed to be in the center of my chain of tea lights. It needs its own shrine anyway. The umbilical cord has been cut, I’m all grown up now.
Jen and Carey celebrated their birthdays with a Beach Blanket Bingo [LINK] pawty.
People have short term memories. Every year I hear the same complaint. “We can’t see the fireworks because of the smoke. It wasn’t this bad last year.” Um, yes it was. And the year before that, and the year before that. Personally I think it makes the fireworks look cooler. All this over a 227 […]
CBS Studios, Chateau Marmont, Laurel Canyon, a deer, a plane wreck, the hill in “Hill Valley” from Back to the Future, The Chinese Theater, The Hollywood Sign, Capitol Records and Griffith Observatory. Hold on, a plane wreck…? Yeah, a plane decided to crash into an apartment building, scaring a deer on the hillside. No evil […]
[NEKO CASE VIDEO LINK – 1m:50secs – 320×240 – 4.6mb] The long awaited return of Neko Case to L.A. My favorite singer hits Hollywood with an acoustic set at The Derby. For years I always thought she could do a stellar version of the song “Wayfaring Stranger”. Totally out of the blue what’d she open […]
Incredible photo, isn’t it? So we have this full lunar eclipse tonight, and I’m like cool, let’s go check it out. So I go look at it and it looks like it does all month but with a blurry edge. It’s also like 238,000 miles away, but apparently my camera only focuses up to 176,000 […]
Identification….Processing….Investigation. A few seconds away from a finger print smear on the lens. Isabella’s now 1, fully mobile, and a magnet for broken glass, things that aren’t tied down, and splinters from wooden floors.
[PET CEMETERY GALLERY] Because they’re all going to their respective pet heavens… In San Francisco and under the Golden Gate Bridge lies the final resting place of the pets of some overly attached owners. And in animal karmic retribution while I was shooting, my car was riddled with no less than 30 bird shits.
California’s mini Uluru [LINK]. The rock at Morro Bay [LINK]. Stayed here last night in a little seaside motel that had free videos. “Free Willy”, “Solarbabies”, and “Dunston Checks In” were some of the choices. I had asked about what movies were playing in town last night and the desk clerk rolled her eyes and […]
I’m hitting the road for a week long trip up the coast to San Francisco then home in a day. Hwy 101, south of San Luis Obispo lies Ostrich Land. Little did I know, less than 1/8 of sec. later this piece of shit ostrich would have my pinkie, ring, and middle fingers half way […]
Somewhat trapped in my house, a bunch of people, 23,647 to be exact, went running by my house for the L.A. Marathon. Some ran, some walked, and unfortunately a lot smelled. Never thought of that aspect of it, but after having run 13 miles they were all smelling pretty bad.
We received my Grandmother’s ashes this week, so we all headed up to Antelope Valley to spread them out at the poppy park she helped establish. Those were her wishes. It’s a bit early for the poppies, but in a little over a month this place will look like a living Monet painting. On a […]
On closer inspection though it could be someone with an appreciation of the vagina.
My new favorite sunset viewing spot in L.A. Here’s what you do. Go to The Grove, park in the structure and take the elevator up to the 7th floor. You now have a 360 degree view of Downtown, Hollywood, Beverly Hills, Century City, etc. Get your stub validated at the movie theater because they have […]
Back on track. Replaced my G1 with a G3! Ok, no droppin’ this one in the mud. What a boner.
This year my parents outfitted the boat to be in the Holiday Boat Parade at Dana Point Harbor. Tonight is the first time they’ve ever done it so we weren’t sure what would happen. The generator lasted the whole time, so that was good. The boat was outfitted with bows and a white Christmas tree […]
I touched it. She photographed it. The day out on the barrier reef was spectacular. It’s quite a bit larger than it looks and it was one of three seen during the day. One of the cooler things I’ve ever seen in the ocean.
