By the numbers...
This whole "work in West Hollywood and live by LAX" thing isn't terribly convenient :P . Commute on the motorcycle is fraught with danger (I was almost killed by inattentive drivers to and from work yesterday, which prompted this post), and commute by car isn't terribly speedy (as evidenced by having to wait in line for stoplights, turns, etc ( Read more... ) -
The Cheap Seats...
On Thursday evening, See Luan and I went to see the Bon Jovi concert; she's a huge fan. We had gotten the cheap seats, basically 10 rows down from the farthest away seats in the Staples Center. Section 312, row 3 (here is the venue layout). While the opening band was playing, we saw some open seats in section 118, right next to the stage. In ( Read more... ) -

Halloween...
Ok, so I've been really lazy about uploading pictures, and I've been busy as hell, but this is what I did Halloween weenend: http://blasphemina.livejournal.com/985144.html -
(Untitled)
Over the years I've watched a lot of movies. Some years more than others. For quite a few of them, I collected the ticket stubs for the ones I've watched in the theater, and stuck them to the wall. Whenever I moved, I'd have to pull them off the wall, stack them chronologically, and re-stick them in the new place. I stopped the ritual of ( Read more... )
