The first one I’ve had in a while.
I’ve noticed lately that the smell from the rancid carpet left behind by the slumlord underneath the topmost layer of carpet has dissipated enough that I don’t notice it when I walk in.
Still need to finish tearing it out and then replace it with something but I’m very [...]

Dunno about these folks but we were on the prowl for the tasty creature called In-N-Out!

Oh Hollywood…
See what you’re missing J & M?

Ever since I moved into my apt, I’ve had stuff on my front door. Stickers and pictures and the like.
I’ve even gone so far as to wrap the entire door and put decorations on it for Fall/Christmas/etc. But the slumlord came around and made us take all our stuff down (yanking some of it down [...]

Normally I’m irate with AMC for the impractical way they spread out the rear window movies in the LA region but right now I’m relieved because I thought I’d have to spend $25 in gas to drive to Disneyland in order to spend more money to see Kung Fu Panda!

Clicky Click
Hope everyone got out and voted No on 98 and Yes on 99!
Am heartened by the news that Obama now has 2114 votes… only 4 more superdelegates to go. Which btw what happened to it being that he had to [...]

While watching Hunt For Red October before going to sleep, I started to get headachy and slightly nauseous which was puzzling because the normal suspects wouldn’t apply: I’d eaten so no blood sugar, I’d been drinking water all evening – more than I’ve managed on other days recently. I’d felt the same earlier but had [...]
