LA Lakers defeat Utah Jazz 108-105. After leading by 19 points at halftime and 16 points at the end of the third quarter, I thought the Lakers would roll through easily to the Western Conference Finals. But with the Lakers playing sloppy on the offensive end turning the ball over seven times in the final frame and the...

It’s been awhile since I lasted posted here, damn full time work seems to get in the way of various projects, interests, and general internet goofing around. Yet another reason why work should be abolished. Rather than pretend I can somehow be at more than one place at a time, I just popped in to [...]

Today I went to Pacific Theaters at the Americana to watch Iron Man. Fantastic movie! Then as I was exiting the theater, I saw a sign reading “ARCADE” hanging above a door. Wow, I thought, a great comic book movie followed by an honest-to-goodness video game arcade? I felt ten years old all over again. Then, [...]

The man in the cherry picker is wielding the same implement as the Grim Reaper, but he’s the polar opposite, both in appearance and in function.  This man in white is giving the palm trees at Sixth and Santa Monica a manicure.  He leans way over and hacks off large fronds , letting them crash to the ground many [...]

In spirit at least… I love big things on buildings; the odder the better.   Naturally, I was more than pleased when driving down Lakewood Blvd. I saw this docile creature: Big thing?  Check. On a building?  Check. Odd?  Hell yeah. That’s a huge-ass rabbit.  I thought it was the oddest pet store I’ve ever...

Artist: Adele Album: 19 Label: Columbia/XL Recordings Release Date: April 8th 2008 digital *See video clip below. So in the recent trend of scratchy, retro-sounding divas such as Amy Winehouse and Duffy, I think I found a keeper. I first heard of Adele when I stumbled across one of her videos on a blog a little while...
