The Curtis Creek Manifesto . . .

Saturday, December 31st, 2005

If you are even remotely thinking about learning to fly fish, go get it
I just read The Curtis Creek Manifesto cover to cover. Of course it is only 48 pages long and is presented in the form of a comic book, but hey I read it cover to cover in one sitting and I’m [...]

Fatty’s in Eagle Rock . . .

Friday, December 30th, 2005

Vegetarian anyone?
I had been to Fatty’s once before and remembered liking it. Beth had just got back from a road trip with Ann and wanted to grab some dinner. After some hemming and hawing I thought of Fatty’s. Parking tends to be a bit of pain but we got lucky and got [...]

Pasadena Casting Club Casting Pond . . .

Thursday, December 29th, 2005

Whoda thunk?
Well me of course, well not really. As most of my faithful readers know I am now the proud owner of a fly fishing rod and reel. I’m ready to get out there and start casting. I read The Curtis Creek Manifesto. I want to fish!
Yesterday while at work I [...]

Fly Fishing and Books . . .

Wednesday, December 28th, 2005

So I have yet to make a single cast, but I’m spending money.
At least it’s on books. I don’t read enough, period. Although I will finally finish reading Raising the Bar which is about the Clif Bar company, decent read. Kinda mixes business with pleasure since I am in business school these [...]

Xmas loot . . .

Sunday, December 25th, 2005

What did you get for Xmas?
I got a Homestarrunner t-shirt (it’s a retired one!), Strong Bad E-mails DVD disc 4, Canary Digital Hotspotter, Ross Cimarron C2 fly fishing reel, and cash. Not too bad for an old guy. That cash is going to net me my fly rod! The Scott [...]

Festivus for the rest of us ! ! !

Friday, December 23rd, 2005

Merry Festivus!
It’s that time of year again. Airing of grievances, feats of strength, and of course wrestling and pinning the head of the household. Ahhhhh the holidays. Okay everyone out there that may or may not read this, have fun and try not to hurt yourselves.

Rap Snacks . . .

Wednesday, December 21st, 2005

I’m sure this is old news, but these are good
Not only are they good, they are cheap if you live in SoCal near a 99 Cents Only store. Greg and Lawrie are the master of the obscure 99 Cents Only store jackpots. I had been meaning to post this for a while, but [...]

Peaches, John Waters, Regret . . .

A John Waters Christmas – with Peaches
I’ll start with the last item in the title of this post. If you don’t like that try and think of this as a Quentin Tarantino style post, sorta, probably just not that good. I can’t believe how stupid it was not to bring a camera. [...]

Propagandhi Video Clip . . .

Thanks to the other Craig for this one

Fishing @ Santa Ana River Lakes . . .

Saturday, December 17th, 2005

Skunked @ Santa Ana River Lakes
Saturday morning I got up early and met up with Greg, his friend Randy, and Randy’s son to do some fishing. Long story short, we didn’t catch anything. We tried jigs, Power Bait, marshmellows, Kastmasters, Rooster Tails, trout Power Worms, gravey, grease, sauace, and probably more. We [...]

The Family Stone . . .

Friday, December 16th, 2005

A mistake
Friday I went to go see The Family Stone with Ann. We mistakenly thought Jennifer Aniston was in it and that it might be funny. We were sooooo wrong. Luke Wilson was the only thing good about this otherwise blah film. I think Grace’s review gets right, see post titled [...]

Found this gem via Coop’s blog which links to Tony Pierce’s blog which links to Oil Factory.

Click on Sarah above to watch the video! Well actually you will have to click again after the jump, but it’s well worth it . . . to me . . . [...]
