Thursday night is always busy. It’s the night of the weekly poker tournament at Sean’s place in the valley. If I can’t get into that game, Caroline and I always have something to do. Last night I had something to do. Caroline is an avid shoe shopper, and last night she/we were invited to the [...]
Americans try to protect their kids from so many things, it’s amazing that they seem to focus on so many wrong things. Read this article, please.
It’s Thursday here in Southern California. The weather has cleared up a bit. The sun shines again and the birds are chirping. I like the rain; it cleans shit up. Free car wash, free lawn watering, it gets the crap off your roof and cleans out the gutters. Rain is nice. Rain is our friend. [...]
Where is everybody? The Internet is quiet. The office is quiet. Silence is aggravating. I got some stuff done this weekend. Mostly laundry and such. Bought some shampoo. Bought two tires for my car with the poker money I won, thanks guys. I had Dim Sum with all the crew, except Caroline, she was working [...]
Last night was Poker night in North Hollywood. These guys have been playing for a while and they run a good tournament. Jon played with them first, brought in Toby, and Toby got me in. So I played last night. They started a new point system, so no one wants to be the first one [...]
So I just spoke with the head of Entravision Radio Production. He needs a sales assistant. He says it’s a formalidy and I can come on over to work with his team on the radio side. Radio allows for more opportunity as far as movement into sales, production, or having my own radio show. My [...]
New book review in the “MUSIC” section I really gotta change that to MEDIA or something.
I was sitting in the new kitchen here at 5700 Wilshire. A voice crackled from the overhead speaker, “Attention all 5700 Wilshire Tenets, please evacuate the building. Proceed to the nearest exit in a quick and orderly manner.” “Fuck you”, I thought. I’m running for the door and knocking over the helpless on my way. [...]
It’s raining outside right now. A few strikes of lighting. Very dark out – like Bernie Mac dark. So how’s your day going? Some people have moved into the new offices. They are on the other side of the building…radio people. Today, my cube-mates are supposed to move in. I can’t wait to turn on [...]
I had an interesting weekend. I was caring for a friend all weekend long. It was a very nice experience. I also started reading Bringing Down the House, it’s a good read so far. This weekend I played in a home tournament and got worked. Time to read up on my books and start playing [...]
This is going to be a long weekend. Not long as in bad, but long as in four days off. I will be spending this time with Caroline. Her and I will travel the seven channels of cable and view the beauty of a DVD or two. Who knows if and when the magic will [...]
As I was driving home last night, my car started to give a little shake. This happens often with VW, because they burn oil and need to be checked and filled more often than I do. So it was time to add a little oil. But then I figured, I haven’t changed my oil in [...]
I will try to recap the past few days…here we go. Friday, I spent quality time with Caroline. We went to In N Out and apparently it was free-soda-for-high-school-students-day. Why, because some guy felt it necessary to throw his Sprite all over us. Good times. We returned home to consume and quickly chilled. On Saturday, [...]
I have a question. PepsiOne has only one calorie, but where does it come from? If you look at the “contains” list, it’s all chemicals. So where does that one calorie come from? Very interesting. I finished reading Fast-Food Nation and I wrote a review on it. You can read it by clicking the music [...]
Yesterday was my mom’s 68th? birthday. Happy birthday mom! I know you don’t read this, but I love you anyway. For those of you who don’t, I was adopted by the two greatest (most of the time) people in the world. These people took me into their home and taught me everything I know (the [...]
As there is little to do @ work today, I updated the images section of my site. Same photos, new interface. It’s a FLASH slideshow. No new photos, but it looks better. If you could be so kind to take a look and let me know how I can improve it, that would be great. [...]
This was a great weekend, Caroline and I hung for the majority of the weekend. It was SuperBowl weekend, the game was ok. Thanks to Jon for throwing a great party. The Lakers won, as did the clippers. And I ate like a pig. Which reminds me, the great weight off began. I start with [...]
