I was in Santa Monica getting a drink with a friend at Finn McCool’s, and I came out to discover that a ready-to-use bumper sticker had been placed under my rear windshield wiper. It reads “Keep Your Dissidence,” which is cute. But what’s better is that it’s from the “Society for the Rehumanization of Humanity.” ...

The following will only make sense to those who have driven in L.A. But for them, it is a feat of unparalleled driving brilliance. I got from NBC studios in Burbank to the Fred Segal at Melrose and Crescent Heights and back in an hour flat today. At 4pm. For those who have never driven ...

While biking up the beach to Santa Monica yesterday, I passed a guy on the boardwalk atop a 10-foot tall unicycle juggling knives while preaching against the evils of alcohol. I thought, “Wow, that’s weird.” And then I realized, I need to go to the beach more. Because if I did, that wouldn’t seem the ...

I just saw Garden State last night, and would like to recommend it to all of you. Zach Braff really has an incredible eye for little moments, and it’s an interesting little film. Definitely one of the better ones I’ve seen in some time. That is all. Return to your weekend slacking.

The rash of pregnacnies amongst people I know takes a new turn…smack into the my really good friends/people my age demographic.

But ...

I’m so very, very proud of myself right now: I fixed something on my car all by myself! I did something more complicated than checking the oil! Granted, all I did was change a light bulb on my headlight, which, to my delight, does not require a degree in rocket science. All it required was ...

I’ve finally gotten around to adding Troy and Eu’s entertaining Urban Therapy blog to the list of Amigos Locos. They were nice enough to link to me a while back, and though their comments section seems to be plagued by either a comment-spambot or a prankster, their site is quite entertaining. Enjoy!

Hands-free devices for my cell phone are an item I seem to go through at an alarming rate. I use them a lot, which is part of it. And my general tendency to quickly destroy anything electronic certainly doesn’t help. But I had to get another new one yesterday, and I think it’s quite possibly ...

Since when did it become socially unacceptable to go on a bender?

When we were coming back from San Diego last weekend, I was listening to pieces of the soundtrack to Avenue Q with Nate. I liked it, so I downloaded it from the iTunes music store. I now must recommend it to everyone, although I definitely don’t recommend listening to it on your way to work. ...
