Coop Devil Head Ring ! ! !

Wednesday, November 30th, 2005

Could there be a more awesome ring!
No, there could not be. This thing is with out a doubt at the top of my list of things to have. It’s expensive, but who cares ($385)! Not me, I’m going to a jeweler first chance I get to get a proper gauge of my [...]

The Power is Out . . .

Tuesday, November 29th, 2005

But I’m still online
Hah! I say to the gods of the power outtage Glendale, CA is currently having in my neighborhood. I am the B.A. Baracus of this house. I took my old PC UPS that has luckily been plugged in (therefore fully charged) and plugged my router and DSL modem in [...]

Bren and Jerri visit SoCal and I see them for 5 minutes
Last night, as originally planned, I was to see BrenJerr for dinna at Gate of India in SaMo. Apparently an afternoon tea left them all a bit stuffed. After conferring with Jerri plans were changed to see Harry Pooper at The Gove [...]

Say that with a Polish accent
Thursday was turkey day and I spent it eating, napping, and watching football. Feh. On to Friday. I was running some errands in the morning when Serge called me and suggested we meet at Roscoe’s Chicken and Waffles for lunch. Um, you don’t have to ask [...]

Thai freakin’ Elvis!
Last night being the Wednesday before Thanksgiving was equal to a Friday night and that means one must do ones best to have a good time. Amber swung by and we were off to the Palms restaurant which she highly recommended. It’s a big Thai resturant which recently moved to it’s [...]

It could be the best documentary ever
This is a documentary about an illegal street race of sorts, a Cannonball Run of sorts. Calling it a street race is an incredible understatement, this was a race from New York to Los Angeles and the winner did it in 32 Hours 7 Minutes. That is [...]

Name That Blimp . . .

Tuesday, November 22nd, 2005

It’s not a Good Year, I think . . .
This morning as I was walking to my car I noticed a blimp in the sky. I don’t see blimps very often and this one seems unique, at least to me. I’m guessing there aren’t THAT many blimp in the world, least in [...]

Dane Cook is F’N Hilarious . . .

Tuesday, November 22nd, 2005

“Shit on the coats.”
Christine mentioned Mr. Dane Cook in passing via IM on Saturday. Sooooo I looked him up on iTunes and there he was. Purchased his concert album Retaliation . . . didn’t start listening to it ’til today; it is all I hoped for. I was also going to grab [...]

More Fishin’ – The Lagoon at Castaic . . .

Sunday, November 20th, 2005

Windy and choppy = no fishies and a float tube workout
A week after Mammoth BrianK, CraigZ, and I hit the Lagoon at Lake Castaic for some trout. Unfortunately we were skunked, not a bite. The waters were tough for us in our float tubes. Well, I have a ‘true’ float tube, CraigZ [...]

Fishin’ in Mammoth . . .

A bad day fishing is better than a good day working
Traveling, drinking, fishing, floating, and freezing. That about sums up the trip so far. CraigZ, Brian, and I got up here late yesterday afternoon, got some gear and got our bearings. Brian rented a float tube so we are all using float [...]
