Like Ronald and Roy, who I’ll never see again because they will try to poison me.

A new person (well, a new old person) and an old person recently came (back) into my life and I couldn’t be happier for it[ READ MORE ]

Stranded

It’s pouring out and I’m stranded in. I mean, getting wet is always a viable option, but less so when your primary means of transportation involves but two wheels. Even though LA basically falls apart in the rain, we really need it. I understand this fully. If it could just fit into a neater schedule [ READ MORE ]

I am so very thankful to have been introduced to Dinosaur Comics a couple or so years ago. Today’s post is brilliant and plays nicely with my current perspective[ READ MORE ]

All the rage…

…10 years ago. That elf snowball game. I can’t remember what it’s called and I’m too lazy to Google it and sift through any of those psycho Flash game sites to find out.   &nbsp[ READ MORE ]

Happy Thanksgiving

Wasn’t nearly as serene as I would have hoped (no matter how hard I tried), but I did see Fantastic Mr. Fox, which was truly and wonderfully magnificent to the point of tears. Oh, and through it all I did happen to get some excellent news. And even though the pouch-based vegetarian mush below probably [ READ MORE ]

Weird day.

It was a good day physically. Got a lot done, including a cycling class that I was hesitant about but actually found to be a lot of fun. After returning home and changing I rushed off to tennis. On my way out I closed the front door only to realize I didn’t have my keys. [ READ MORE ]

Today’s Laker game made me ill as well. C’mon boys![ READ MORE ]

Will it to work

Today is an important day. I should double check my motorcycle to make sure it starts. Need it to work[ READ MORE ]

It works!

Well, it seems like it was just a new battery. Let’s hope there isn’t something causing it to drain. I guess I’ll find out soon enough. In the meantime, I’m good to go[ READ MORE ]

Not even six.

I wonder how many Tweets or posts or status updates or what have you there are about this. It’s not even 6:00 PM and it’s pitch black outside. It may as well be midnight, but for the moon[ READ MORE ]

Run.

I just read that an American won the NY Marathon, something that hasn’t happened since the year I was born. This makes me very happy[ READ MORE ]

Harry, you in there?

Extraordinarily difficult for the unfocused.

Try this… Take a deep, long breath and shut your eyes. Keep them shut (your eyes, not your lungs — you’re allowed to breathe). Count to 500 at a pace no faster than two “beats” per second. Do not use any external means to help you keep track of your count, not even your fingers. [ READ MORE ]

Today is [was] a phenomenal day.

I had an amazing hug from C, felt loved. R and I had an incredible drive through Old Topanga. The weather is astonishingly gorgeous. Lunch was excellent and accommodating. I laughed extremely hard. My objectives are moving forward. I saw my celebrity crush in person. Realized she’s even more beautiful and sweet than I thought. [ READ MORE ]

Perpetually injured Nadal to combat two at once in Shanghai final.

At least that’s what Yahoo, aggregate to the stars, has to say on the matter (see main story and first headline below). Anyway, who can blame the media for prematurely pushing out a pre-written, fill-in-the-blank story about a final involving the heavy favorite, Djokovic[ READ MORE ]

Heavy, but less heavy: the best milkshake I’ve ever had.

Ladies and gentleman, I give you Taylor’s Automatic Refresher of Napa, CA. It certainly puts the five-dollar-milkshake (this one was $6.50) into perspective[ READ MORE ]

No, toss it … in the recycling bin.

Yahoo’s front page is, as of this moment, telling millions of people not to toss their junk mail. Why? Because we’re missing out on savings. Admittedly, this isn’t a bad reason at all. Who would want to miss out on saving money? At the same time, it undermines everything that’s wrong about our rationale. Junk [ READ MORE ]

ATP Schedule

For years now we have heard the same things from ATP touring pros: the schedule is too long, we can’t keep up. I can’t help but agree, and if this year’s tourney in Shanghai — where SEVEN players, including Roddick, Del Potro, Monfils, Warinka, Haas, Acasuso and Zverev have withdrawn — is any indicator, the [ READ MORE ]

We are all going to die … rain in L.A.

STORM WATCH CALIFORNIA: MILLENNIUM EDITION! Rain. It’s the top story in L.A. today. So far, it’s less than an inch despite reports of 3″-6″ in deadly mudslide areas.

No small feat.

I know it’s nothing to write home about, or blog about for that matter, but I’ve never made a successful attempt at those paper chain dolls until tonight. In trying I always ignored the obvious and ended up with at most several pairs of dolls instead of one long chain. Tonight, I actually paid attention. [ READ MORE ]

Dodger Blues

Why is it so hard to find someone to take a FREE $120 Dodger ticket in the VIP section? Three of us are going and we have a fourth ticket available for tonight’s game against the Rockies. By the way, I did NOT pay $120 for those tickets. I myself was a lucky recipient and [ READ MORE ]

Miss you, iBud.

For the first time since Day 1, I am no longer the owner of a disc-based iPod. All that remains is a shuffle (2nd Gen) and my 16GB iPhone 3G. Sold my 160GB (6th Gen) iPod Classic on eBay for a tidy sum. I’m really going to miss it. Would have been nice to get [ READ MORE ]

Informer, by Snow.

I just blazed through today’s 750+ Google Reader items in one sitting and I’m feeling overstimulated and deeply informed, both feelings of which will fade into oblivion when everything repeats itself tomorrow. G’night[ READ MORE ]

Why?

Leprechaun 5: Leprechaun in Da Hood. Seriously, I can’t tell if this is a joke or not. Kind of like R. Kelly’s Trapped In The Closet, which ended up being brilliant in its humor simply because it took itself so seriously. Maybe this is [Insert Director Name]‘s magnum opus, too[ READ MORE ]

Construction never ends.

It really doesn’t. Ever started a project in the home, whether DIY or outsourced? In either instance laziness and excuses are king (or co-kings — they haven’t found democracy, but they’re getting there). It’s taken three weeks to hang a simple set of french doors. This includes cutting to size, staining, frosting, and preparing the [ READ MORE ]

Sam Querrey

If you didn’t already know it, I’m a huge tennis fan. The up and coming savior of American tennis, Sam Querrey, fell through a glass table after practice today, slicing his trigger arm open. He had emergency surgery to repair. Wish him the best. Tennis here needs him and his Samurai desperately. – Post From [ READ MORE ]

Final Fantasy XIII

Just saw the long trailer and it’s simply astonishing. I can’t speak for the gameplay, and I have no idea what any of the Japanese stuff means, but those seven or so minutes that I watched were in and of themselves an incredible human achievement[ READ MORE ]

PSP No

Okay, the original PSP is the girl you love unconditionally, even though she’s kinda fat but wears it well and snorts when you load up her laughter interface. Then she kind of got her shit together and went on a diet, but still had that issue with her crunchy giggle. Then she overdid it, like [ READ MORE ]

Charlie Hoffman

I used to fool myself into thinking that I understood the various Charlie Kaufman oddities on some deeper level than most. Now I’m watching ‘Synecdoche, New York’, which features one of my favorite actors, Phillip Seymour Hoffman, and I just don’t buy it. – Post From My iPhone[ READ MORE ]

Oh, beta culture…

Like Twitter, but with a tamper-evident seal.

After 3,000 or so tweets, my love affair with Twitter is no more. There was a lot I enjoyed about the service: near instant, though often suspect news, a public though obviously narcissistic stream of consciousness, and real-time updates from those individuals, industries and companies I am most interested in. But there was too much [ READ MORE ]
