I believe the following image sums up the situation: It’s nice to have all my files back in the proper place, with a little more room to bang around in, after a two month hiatus following the crash. Back up everything, people, this is the first time I’ve not lost a single file.

The ever droll Tosh.0 Blog has a link to a Wikipedia entry that (rather weakly, in my opinion) encapsulates the past ten years in one short summary paragraph, but also discusses what nickname to use for the decade. I’m not against re-using terms for the previous century, like “oughts,” or “twenties,” when we get there, [...]

I’ve been posting whiny Facebook statuses regarding the Station Fire, but as it grows, and starts to claim lives, I’m leaving off the witty remarks in favor of stunned reverence. We could see flames on nearby ridges Friday night when the Atwater street party was happening. I snapped a picture on Saturday on my way [...]

Waaay back at the end of June, we attended my first-cousin-once-removed’s birthday party. I’m not much for infants getting parties, since they won’t remember, but my cousins definitely needed one, and the adult human contact it provided. Although, I was a bit surprised at the amount of booze. Cousins galore showed up, as did my [...]

Yikes, I’ll try to knock these out in the next few. I had a student film audition in Studio City, just across from the Universal Studios parking lot. I read for a dad in a flashback scene, talking to his son during a hike in the woods. The director really liked what I did, he [...]

The New York Times has an article discussing the rebranding of several corporations, notably Wal-Mart. I’m not against a redesign of any brand, provided the company has something new to offer (viz, BP). But what is Wal-Mart trying to say with their new logo (arrows are mine)? I mean, what the hell is that asterisk [...]

Pardon the weirdness here, I’m reconfiguring. Things are going to be messy for a minute.

I started the dream as I was entering into a house, Victorian in style, a bit spooky, and the door closed behind me. I heard some kind of narration about the haunted nature of the place, and something about pirates and the vengeful god, Neptune. Then the windows, which were false, went dark, and it [...]

And it just happens to be MJ’s, and we just happened to go on Tuesday the other week, during the insanely inappropriately named “Rim Job” night. But it’s supposed to be the best night to go, since it’s crowded and they have hot go-go boys writhing above the crowd. The place was full of mostly [...]

Super late with this, and Dennis already put up a thorough description of the night, but here are a few more images. (L-R: Brian, Dennis, Ryan, Jason, Jesse, Johnny) (L-R: Ryan (barely), Jason, Jesse, Johnny, Evan, Nater, Nicole) Jesse’s swine outfit was fantastic. (L-R: Ryan (Danny’s friend), Danny, Ryan (Dennis’s roommate), Evan, Dennis) Nater, who [...]
