04.10.08“Typical L.A.”
I have avoided making any “typical L.A.” jokes, I couldn’t think of anything more cliche’, plus I don’t really know what’s typical here, I don’t get out much. Palm Trees, those are pretty typical. It seems what people say are typical about L.A. are actually typical about actors anywhere. But this made me laugh and definitely qualifies for the broader definition of “typical L.A.”
How’s your landlord’s imdb page?

03.27.08Best Celebrity sighting ever - NSFW
The clip is NSFW, by the way - this is just text. Harmless harmless text. So I’ve been in a funk because I’d rather be in Chicago makin’ with the TV Schadenfreude style, or even posting on the site, which always catches the tail end of the sleep/post coinflip at the end of a long dayses. But it’s hard to get depressed here for too long, L.A.’s built that way. Well, this made my day. So I’m getting out of my car in the parking lot of the Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf on Sunset and Laurel and I hear a familiar raspy voice, now Tom Cruise could throw up on my car and I’d probably never notice that it was a celebrity, but this time I didn’t even have to look because I knew the voice well. It was Jason Mewes - “Jay” of Jay and Silent Bob in a conversation with a friend. My kind of celebrity sighting. I’ve seen Johnny Knoxville and Jay, I’m good, I’m coming home. Oh, and I could’ve just walked from the driver’s side straight into the coffee shop, but I decided to go around the other side of the car so that I’d have to pardon myself as I squeezed by Jay. Heheh, I cropdusted Jay. Noonch.

03.27.08Hey, L.A. pedestrian…
Would you mind not darting into traffic, please? If someone hasn’t told you, it’s dangerous. Also if nobody’s told you, people drive like shit here. I know they created that crazy crosswalk law here, where, even if I’m driving 45 miles an hour at the moment you decided to take the crosswalk against the light, it’s up to me to see how well my brakes work, but how big a victory will my assured jail sentence be while you’re sitting in the hospital eating a hamburger through a straw? Wouldn’t it be better to wait until NO cars are coming to cross? I know, I know, you’re within your rights to test the deceleration of a 1996 Ford Escort, but I’m just sayin’ these Toyota trucks loaded with old refrigerators and scrap metal look mighty slow on the reaction time.

02.24.08Hey Stephe, if you have to cross town, take Franklin.
It’s a real mess because of the Oscars, don’t even think about taking Hollywood between Vine and LaBrea, I wouldn’t even take Sunset because it’s a parking lot around Highland. Looks like you’re going to have to go all the way up to Franklin and take LaBrea down, or maybe even Laurel, just no way around it.

It’s snowing in L.A. It’s snowing…right now. I doubt it’ll be here by sunrise, so I thought I’d let you know. I’ve considered the big crime of L.A. that they have the best underutilized sledding hills in America, but I doubt this will accumulate enough for me to take a tube down Laurel Canyon. I won’t go so far as to bitch about snow for all the Chicago readers, but just to make myself laugh I might leave two lawn chairs and a 2×4 in my parking spot when I leave in the morning.
