  • Dear Trolls,

    Dear Trolls,

    You know who you are, you little rascals. Now I know things have gotten a little lax around here since I was out of town for a while but I’m back now so I thought I’d just go ahead and say “Hi.” So… Hi. Hows...

    Party Thingy

    Thanks to everyone who came out to the Party Thingy last night. I took some pictures but the transfer cables for my new camera are in my missing luggage so when ever that shows up I’ll post some. Very cool to meet some of the...

    Getting a haircut

    I have simple hair. It’s really not a big production, clippers on the back and sides, scissors on the top. Most places take about 10 minutes. I met Charlie the barber about 4 years ago, drew him in the SuperCuts lotto — next up. Charlie...

    Los Angeles : Invaded

    I can’t believe I forgot to post about this – quite possibly my favorite grafitti artist in the world has a new book out and is all about Los Anagles. Luckily Caryn remembered: “France’s notorious public art mosaic maestro Space Invader has just released his...

    Not in Kansas anymore

    Did anyone see/hear the tornado warning issued last night for Catalina Island, Huntington Beach, Torrance and other locations throughout Los Angeles County? I was watching tv and it came scrolling across the screen, complete with instructions on what to do if you’re caught in it...

    A Picture’s Worth A Thousand Pffffts

    Maybe I’m just too jaded by bigger cataclysms. No, definitely I’m just too jaded by bigger cataclysms. As such, the L.A. Times couldn’t have chosen a better photo to illustrate how pathetic and helpless we become when the rains hit town. With the Red Cross...

  • Success!

    Success!

    Back in November I blogged about a traffic problem downtown. (check out that fancy diagram) It wasn’t too long before Doane Liu from the Mayors Office cc’d me on a note to the DOT referencing the post and asking them to take a look at...

    I’m Only Happy When It Rains…

    Speaking as an L.A. native, is it just me or has this week’s rainstorms been the strongest and hardest-hitting in recent memory (at least in the Miracle Mile and San Fernando Valley areas)? I don’t think even El Niño was this bad!

    Raining something or another…

    Waking up to the busy construction work of rain, even my cat stayed away from the window to avoid seeing her friends and rivals splatter the pavement. Me, I’m wondering about where to eat, after all, weather like this lends itself to a different los...
