I have good, happy thoughts about something on my mind and I need to bash them out with a hammer so I can finish my work. *distracted* Herbie review coming. End of the month = tons of work. Almost done. Must finish. . .before. . .I

Highlights of the day: Killed a GIANT spider hanging off my lemon tree. Watched Lindsay Lohen's "acting" in Herbie: Fully Loaded for an upcoming much too late review. Found another giant (like an inch in body length) spider and have been throwing beetles into it's web. Excitement. Um no, not really.

In conversations about relationships I tend to toss in the saying "timing is everything." In a fluid bowl of people meeting and connecting, two individuals would need to be looking for the same thing at the same time, creating traction towards relationship establishment. What I'm offering is nothing I can't afford to lose Simply you have to be in the same place mentally, emotionally, and willing to risk some kind of loss. You'll never leave empty handed, be it love and partnership, or a hobo stick of regret wrapped in red and white handkerchief. Anyhow my this random driving to the bank thought was if you're swimming (making an effort) in this social bowl of people and you connect with someone, wouldn't that also lead to the path of least resistance? Wouldn't the phrase "falling for someone" imply little effort? Sorry, this is obviously not well thought out - my timing must be off.

Have you ever meet someone and then tried to explain the last five years of your life in fifteen minutes? I haven't done it in awhile, but it happen to me recently. I thought I was the only one who did that. Unrelated: So the cool police.. is looking for a (non Westside) bar that has weekly trivia contests/quiz bowl like up in San Francisco.

I want to go to the zoo, but the billion degrees this weekend will keep me away. I like Monkeys. Soon I will see you little monkeys. Yeah and it's also the end of Sea Lion Summer

xTracyx asked yesterday if if anyone was excited for the new Wallace and Gromit movie. Hell yes I am! Opens October 7th, though odds are I'll see it on the 17th. Haven't seen too much advertising on the regular 1-13 channels, I assume most of the focus is on kiddie cable channels, so I hope it does well. Now if I can only figure out how to make a W&G Halloween costume.

Body temperature before popping four Advils: 101 --- Perfect for driving home in traffic. Finally went to have my tire fixed after driving on the spare this week. Corey remarked how I was one of those people he's scared to drive next to on the freeway. In my defense I hold up my record for zero accidents in the16 years of driving compared to his how many now? Sometimes I’m afraid to drive with Corey, and I see now that the feeling is mutual. Stuffed face with a double crunch zinger sandwich (which sounds like a cool sex toy * if you dropped off the sandwich part), showered, sped down the 60 almost missing the Santa Fe Exit underneath the interchange. Very tricky placing by Cal-Trans where the exit is a half mile before the actually street location. Sorry to the people I cut off. [ * I guess you can buy one here (Maybe NSFW ) ] Made it in plenty of time, with plenty of parking around that block where Hangar 1018 and a lock out for bands were located. Chatted with LR and A and T...

Okay how lame am I for just discovering how amazing Jon Brion is? I've heard of him of course, but only recently listened to some tracks sitting in my iTunes. Stream a couple songs on his myspace page here A little bit of his bio from the IMDB. Performs an immensely popular, semi-improvisational cabaret act at L.A.-based nightclub Largo , every Friday night. Music producer/composer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist. He collaborated and/or produced albums of Aimee Mann, Fiona Apple, Rufus Wainwright, David Byrne, and the Eels.

Avoidance is driving around on a beanie tire for three days. Joy is painting for the first time in...years. I wasn't online, the television never started, and I skipped Kiss or Kill last night. Strange to be in bed by eleven. Two nights ago I twisted up in my comforter, waking up every two hours to my roommate's TV. He must have fallen asleep with his television unit blaring through my closet, two am, four am, six am, still on. Last night I dreamt about partying with strangers (well let's just say they were strangers) in Vegas. We were drinking in my room at the MGM Emerald Tower. This girl wanted to do coke I said go ahead, have fun. No I was cool; I had my rum and coca-cola to hold me. She leaned over to do her thing, my glass held up to my forehead cooling my temples as I watched. I have no idea why I was dreaming this last night. [Cocaine imagery courtesy of bad episodes of Miami Vice and Nyquil - I've never seen coke in my life actually]

Tomorrow night, Midway is throwing a party, art show, and special performances featuring Vagrant Vinnie and the Instigators , Soda & His Million Piece Band and Bang Sugar Bang in honor of Kevin's FAVORITE city, NEW ORLEANS!!!! We've transformed HANGAR 1018 into Bourbon Street!! You can visit Cafe Du Monde and have a Beignet with your Cafe Au Lait OR have a famous Pat O'Brian's Hurricane to drink. We'll have Midway Mardi Gras beads andall sorts of other surprises comin' out of the bayou (maybe even some pirates...) ALL PROCEEDS from this event will go to the RED CROSS KATRINA RELIEF FUND, but this may not ease Kevin's broken heart and gloom after seeing his favorite city go through all this torment. How else to cheer him up??? We'll have the long-awaited and much-anticipated DRAW KEVIN CONTEST!!!! To enter this contest, feel the inspiration his soothing keyboard lines bring to you and maybe do some "pointing and ooohing" in the mirror, th...

I'm a little sick today, and not every other week Chicken Little sick. Really it's true. Nose is running, cloudy thoughts hover in front of my eyes, but at least I can eat today without the following ten minutes of uneasiness I've been experiencing. So I just wanted to say a little thank you for reading these boring posts. That's all. A special thanks to those lurkers I don't know. My friends read it to be nosey, but I can't imagine why strangers would want to. I need to lay off the speed cold medicine and finish my ad for work.

Imperial Hwy almost to Norwalk @ 7.30 AM Stopped at the longest light in the world, I peep back into my rear view mirror and watch two silhouettes step out of the vehicle a couple cars behind me. These Yogi and Boo Boo guys walk up in my direction, one of each side of the car behind me, veering to my right at the last moment. Yogi Bear starts yelling at the delivery truck next to me, pulling on the door handle to open it. The door pops opens an inch or two then closes, opening again for a leg to make an appearance. The shouting continues between Yogi and truck driver while Boo Boo hangs back calling out out the driver. Of course I turn the radio down to listen. After a little prodding the driver jumps out and it becomes a shoving match behind my car. Trucker has a friend and he pops out, coming around from the front of the truck. Punches are thrown, Trucker does some kicking, more punches, then some wrestling like circus bears waddling around in circle taking wipes at each other. Boo ...

I had a flat this Friday, not that big of a deal normally, except I managed to snap the stem as I was removing a lug nut. Wonderful. More money that I don't have. I'm getting sick of tires, my numerous flats, gas prices, traffic. If I wasn't getting such a good price on rent I would move closer, but why pay what I'm currently paying for far less space in a worse neighborhood? Even with the gas savings I would nearly be at the same spot I am now. We'll see if Just Tires can fix my problem and/or hopefully replace it under the service plan I paid for. Good chance the obscene amount of miles I've put on my might have over shot the plan limitations, which will force me to pay out of pocket. Grr. I have 99,700 miles on my car as of last night. That means I'm doing @ 25-30,000 miles a year. Yikes! Oh I'm sick again, spending the weekend sleeping, not getting my tire fixed, and writing stuff for the other blog. Sometimes I wish no one knew about this one then...

still editing Sat in traffic for an hour to Glendale on Thursday, 30 minutes longer than it needed to be. Annoyed I jumped off the One Ten at the Sixth Street exit, rolling down Beaumont past the never to be finished Beaumont Learning Center. A quick left up some street past the one of the many towing companies (shakes fist) I see in this area, and over the One-O-One through Echo Park. I tire of navigating through vague recollections of which street points my way, what turn connects to me, to my car, to this road with fifteen miles to go. A brief conversation with the roommate who seems to no longer hate me, followed by the dog walking and chatting thing with my friend afterwards. The chats are always interesting and my advice remains to go ahead and kiss the guy, and enjoy the moment. What doesn't kill you will make crumble into a ball and cry for awhile I always say and that's not at all helpful advice she replies. Okay I never said that last part. In short order, we later w...

I want to write first about how I ate too much Del Taco that night because we had an extra taco and were going to offer it to the homeless person outside, but he disappeared. So I ate it. We did drive around for a few minutes looking at him, so I don’t feel bad. Fat maybe, but remorseful, nope. We picked up Katie and made the mile drive to see Sara Radle play solo at Tangiers. The three of us sat together talking and we debated saying hi to Sara on the other side of the room. When it was mentioned that I should ideclined with rationale that I already creep people out, no need to make that impression worse. At one point we went back out to the car to get a sweater for Katie and waste a little time since we were early. Back in we still had the whole back corner on the left to ourselves so we decided to sit eight feet away from each other to be dumb. Sara started a couple minutes later so I stay put during her solo set while Katie and Cortney scooted closer to each other as more eventu...

Last night I remembered that I had screening passes for the new Jenny McCarthy movie Dirty Love on Monday night. Eww Jenny McCarthy you're thinking, and you're right to question why I would go to a movie that will surely bomb. First it was free, and secondly I just wanted to check out the Cinerama Dome where it was playing at, too lame to actually pay to see a movie there. Not surprising coming from the person who waited to see Star Wars at the dollar cinema though that would've been the perfect movie to see on the Dome's giant screen earlier this year. Movies and where they played at used to matter when I was younger, but at this point it is hard for me to justify spending the extra money I currently have little of on a potentially sub par movie experience with stupid people unable to understand that they aren't in their fricking living rooms. Even if I was watching a DVD at home with friends or family I want them to shut the f--k up too. I watch movies to lose ...

Artists erect giant pink bunny on mountain From the press release: Rabbit The things one finds wandering in a landscape: familiar things and utterly unknown, like a flower one has never seen before, or, as Columbus discovered, an inexplicable continent; and then, behind a hill, as if knitted by giant grandmothers, lies this vast rabbit, to make you feel as small as a daisy. The toilet-paper-pink creature lies on its back: a rabbit-mountain like Gulliver in Lilliput. Happy you feel as you climb up along its ears, almost falling into its cavernous mouth, to the belly-summit and look out over the pink woolen landscape of the rabbitís body, a country dropped from the sky; ears and limbs sneaking into the distance; from its side flowing heart, liver and intestines. Happily in love you step down the decaying corpse, through the wound, now small like a maggot, over woolen kidney and bowel. Happy you leave like the larva that gets its wings from an innocent carcass at the roadside. Such is ...

Stuck in meetings today, but I have a couple half finished posts for later. [tonight] Going to cram some food in my mouth before the next meeting with our crackhead sales rep Sylvia. Should be interesting. Hey M., I swear that DB was at Kiss or Kill last night. DJCZ even thought it looked like him. You missed him by a week.
