Here are some images from the past week, compliments of my Nokia 6225 camera phone, which explains why the quality blows.
7-11 now sells sushi. Yum!
The largest roll of bubblewrap I have ever seen. It just screams for you to jump on top of it.
I went to a go kart racetrack in Riverside to watch a co-worker’s son race his go-kart.
These are some of the people from the Santa Monica Meetup Hiking group, on a trail in the Santa Monica Mountains. Go to meetup.com and search for Santa Monica hiking if you want to join us.
This is a few from a plateau on the trail. See that orange band in the horizon? Thats the smog above Orange County. No smog in LA after the month long monsoon. But today, the smog is back.
The city of Glendale thanks Jesus for everything! Everything!

Nic Harcourt of KCRW played a new Postal Service song yesterday, from the B Side of “We Will Become Silhouttes,” which is out in a few weeks. The new song is very Postal Service, and very good. Its pretty amazing to me that Sub Pop is putting this single out now - the CD came out over a year ago! If the sales of the album keep increasing, “Give Up” may turn platinum by the end of this decade.

In an effort to survive the torrential rains, with their resultant mudslides and floods, I sequestered myself last weekend in front of Comedy Central and watching the following movies for the first time: Not Another Teen Movie, Wet Hot American Summer, Scary Movie 2, and 51 First Dates (actually, this was on HBO). Watching these movies nearly sequentially, I am struggling to separate them out in my mind, as they all run together as parodies of earnest movie genres. Though 51 First Dates had some nice scenes with animals, which gives it a leg up over the others.
I am happy to report that on today, Wednesday, the 12th of January, Los Angeles is having its second day without rain, after 3 weeks of nothing but rain. No more parody movies for me.
