Yesterday they were putting the finishing decorations on the tree on the west side of city hall, and I think it looks pretty impresive (now they just need to get the “cherry picker” out of there that they used to reach up on the tree).

I love this pic- someone sent it to me (it’s from “Mad Max- Beyond the Thunderdome” I believe).
It would make a great Halloween costume except I’m sure I would be smoked by a cop before I went a block… maybe I’ll try it without a gun.

… the ones with patios would provide a little service outside. I would like to eat when I walk my dog sometimes, but there is only one place I can think of where I can go “solo” and order on the patio (Pete’s, but they have fallen out of favor for me as I get terrible service). Most […]

I hope you had a great Thanksgiving- I was feeling a little depressed. Holidays and injuries some times do that to me. My shoulder is still screwed up (dislocated again) so I’m going to just rest until Monday- eat a lot and sleep a lot!
The homeless guy I was going to take to buffet ended up […]

The Malibu fires are hitting close to where I almost moved one time, so this is a little reminising…
Years ago, when I moved to So Cal with a girlfriend we rented the upstairs of a house in Hermosa Beach. We broke up and soon after the landlord evicted me (I was a little too noisy […]

As much as I hate to admit, but “if the shoe fits, wear it”. Damn, I feel like such an idiot after seeing this, but what can I do… at least I still consider myself a “beach boy” and not an “Urban Pioneer”.

I walk about 8 miles a day - 2 miles to gym and 6 miles with my dog. I see A LOT of traffic, plus A LOT of cops (I live 1 block from main LAPD)
I see tons of bad drivers during my walks- I don’t know how they are not pulled over. I also see tons of cops ignore […]

Thank god I have not gone to this place… it will be interesting to see how long it lasts when the ImaginAsian Theater opens right next door, and LAPD parks their 600 cars across the street. It must have tons of code violations and other problems that will shut it down.

Britney just got told by judge that she cannot drive with her kids, based on a video from paparrazi (TMZ) showing her speeding away from a restaurant, text-messaging and running a red light. Did you see the video of driving her new Mercedes SL 65 ($200,000, 604 horsepower 2 seater) - I guess she doesn’t need a backseat anymore as […]

What a great story about actress Selma Blair, her one-eyed Jack Russell rescue dog Wink, and her work at a dog shelter. Women like this get me so excited. Somehow I think she will care for it much better than Britney or Paris care for their dogs.
What a quote from Ms. Blair: “Having my pet around has […]
