It really started with Thursday night’s Ab Fab-athon with Cory and Peter. Besides work on Friday, it pretty much continued through Sunday night. Friday night the gang headed out to UltraSuede. I must admit it was a bit odd dancing to such classics as “You Spin Me ‘Round (Like a Record)”, “The Jefferson’s Theme”, and “Wake Me Up Before You Go Go”. It’s been awhile…
December 11, 2000Yesterday was a busy one and thus no update. I spent a good chunk of the day admiring some cars (and even riding in two) at Willow Springs Raceway. One of the highlights was a pair of Ferrari 360 Modena’s racing around the large track. I guess I spoke too soon. Apparently, Southern California is also feeling the pinch of the Electricity Grinch. I think…
December 8, 2000Despite all the bad things like traffic, there are still good reasons to live in LA. For example: Having enough electricity to run Christmas lights, unlike those poor people in Northern California. How is it possible that in the year 2000, we are running out of electricity? I think it is all a load of crap. They just don’t want to admit to inadequate planning.…
December 6, 2000Apparently, I forgot that before you bring a tree inside the house, you should let it soak in a bucket of water. Something about letting it get as much water as it can initially. Or something. Today my Xterra is 6 months old and is coincidentally in the shop for its 7500 mile service. Me thinks I am going to be over my mileage allotment…
December 5, 2000Feeling much better, thank you. Although I am not in the mood for McDonald’s McChicken Heads. It amazes me how far this story has spread. So I’m doing my part to spread it even more. In the front room of my apartment sits Roger’s 8-foot Christmas tree (pics soon). One of the dangers of bringing freshly cut plants or trees into the house is the…
December 4, 2000Roger sick+no sleep+party with friends=cold. Enjoy your weekend; I will be nursing some hot chocolate with DayQuil and then will go and enjoy some fine and dandy Pismo Beach Fish and Chips. Then sleep and hopefully ready to go next week.
December 1, 2000I talked briefly last night with Matt about this, so I will mention it here. There are certainly a lot of people out there who you feel like you know, despite the fact you really don’t know them at all. I was thinking about this at Burger King yesterday. I guess BK is second only to the bathroom in terms of where I do my…
November 30, 2000Yesterday, a copy of Jarre’s 1979 Place de la Concorde concert arrived from Barry in the UK. This concert was one of the first videotapes ever produced in France and is extremely hard to come by. The concert itself was the first of his outdoor concerts (fully realized later in his career in Houston, Lyon, London, Paris, and Moscow). Now all I need to do…
November 29, 2000Last night a treat showed up in my mailbox: Jean Michel Jarre’s Oxygen in Moscow concert DVD. It’s my first Jarre DVD and hopefully they will be releasing more. Now if only he would do a concert in the US. Today is Kevin’s birthday. If you want to give him a gift, he’d love any of the following items from dodgers.com: Beanbag Chair Baseball Table…
November 28, 2000Oh, the joys about living in the LA Area. Last night I was driving home from Phoenix when I ran smack dab into the middle of a traffic jam on I-10 near Palm Springs. My guess it was the huge influx of people from the Coachella Valley going back to LA. Whatever the cause, it was still a bizarre sensation to be in bumper-to-bumper traffic…
