[MELBOURNE] [THE GREAT OCEAN ROAD][TASMANIA] [SYDNEY] [VIDEO LINK] A month in Australia and boy am I bushed. Get it? No? Damn. 1200 photos, one dead bird, 15 bites of various kinds, a tiger snake encounter, a diviner, waterfalls, and a very confused Vespa scooter now named Shemale. Melbourne still to come. It’s done.
[IMAGE GALLERY] [VIDEO LINK]With a slew of 40 year old birthday parties and a recent 20 year high school reunion I see a sports car in my future. College chum Keith celebrated the big turnover this weekend with a pawty in Oakland. I knew lots of their friends only through websites, so seeing some of […]
[VIDEO LINK] When you live in the land of “In-N-Out” burgers the thought of White Castle coming to town is laughable. To help promote the film “Harold & Kumar Go To White Castle” the White Castle restaurant chain opened up a temporary store on Sunset Blvd. Just to remind myself how bad the burgers are […]
[VICTORIA GALLERY] [VIDEO LINK]Infamous ladies man and fellow Shrek survivor Felix got married this weekend in Victoria, British Columbia. That’s in Canada, eh. Alaska Airlines flight 283. The beginning of the nightmare. Alaska Airlines I hate you. I left work early after a late night of packing Thursday and a long day at work. Got […]
[IMAGE GALLERY] [VIDEO LINK] The long pale winter. Need some sun. The mission: Go to see redwoods in Northern California. Accomplished? Hell yes. Occasionally you take a trip that turns out to be way more than you thought it would be. I took off Saturday morning and jetted up to Oakland and hung with Keith […]
Friday I decided to bookend the last two weeks with related concerts. Two weeks ago I saw Dennis “Domo” DeYoung, and after getting the L.A. Weekly on Thursday I was reminded Styx was going to be at the Universal Amphitheatre. So Friday morning I bought a ticket and trooped across town that night to Universal. […]
[VIDEO LINK] Friday night at Hollywood Park was Sony day at the races and I finally got to prove good ol’ Monica wrong. See the previous horse racing post [LINK]. I bet “$5 to win” and actually won for once. A group of us were invited down to watch the the #5 “Sony” race from […]
[GROUNDBREAKING VIDEO LINK] Sony Imageworks [LINK] is expanding at such a rate they have to build a new building to accomodate us. I think it’s a not so subtle way of saying we’re all fat and don’t fit in the building anymore. Anyway, it took about 45 minutes later while sitting at my desk to […]
[BANG! BANG! BANG! VIDEO LINK] Not a lot of people realize one of the best kept secrets in the world is Mother’s Day at Magic Mountain. The place is a ghost town. Most of the time you can walk right onto the ride and it’s all very laid back. No mothers want to go to […]
[ELIZABETH SHUE”S BUTT VIDEO LINK] So, like Anne Marie and I (who I haven’t seen in over 3 years since we shot this photo at the Metreon in San Francisco [LINK] ) went to the Apple Store today amongst other things, and like oh my God Punky Brewster [LINK] was there! Then later that night […]
[NEKO CASE GALLERY] [VIDEO LINK]I love Neko Case. And after my holiday in Ireland, that pretty much spills over to all curly haired girls. Except Nicole Kidman. Anyway, she was back in town tonight doing another show at The Derby. It was billed as “With Friends”. Those friends included Jon Rauhouse, Kelly Hogan, and Carolyn […]
Nothing quite like looking over your shoulder to see a bunch of grown-ups pressed up against the window gawking at a rainbow. Looked like a bunch of kids waiting for the ice cream truck. So I joined them. Last week we had a major downpour and it flooded an area by my office. Once they […]
Barbara said I was getting hit on, but I didn’t happen to notice so I think she was bullshittin’. After we left I still thought salmon, mocha and champagne were foods and not colors. So my heterosexuality was intact. And let me tell you about the strength of those Martini’s. I could only speak like Barry White for two days and my normal tone was like Peter Brady and his puberty squeak. we took off for home with what would ultimately be a mind numbing hangover.
[MAMMOTH GALLERY] [VIDEO LINK] Watching “Big Fish” in the window reflection on the way home from Mammoth. The 6th annual Imageworks ski trip wrapped up Sunday with a quiet ride home. Busted ankles, lost snowboards, jacoozeeing, and snowmobiling were all part of the fun. I am now a snowmobiler. Whatever that means.
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
After a 10 hour day, nothing makes the pain go away faster than some quality time in the Hot Tub. So I run home, see if my house was broken into, greet the neighbors cats, see which bills are now past due, jump into my ultra flash Kirra board shorts, quickly walk down to the […]
