My childhood tv-watching swag was PHENOMENAL
On a lark, I Netflix’ed the “Crime Story” season 1 dvd.

That’s right, at 8 years old, I was jamming out to this major league lineup:
Dennis Farina
Ted Levine
Jon Polito

Oh yeah,
I’ve played this Joan as Police Woman album (“Real Life”) 10-15 times straight now. I like that. I like when that happens. Thanks, Joan Wasser.
Pantheon of Awkward Questions
In the pantheon of awkward questions, one question stands as king: Getting “Hey! How’s ______ doing?” days, weeks, months, even years after ______ has left your life in a cromulent shitstorm of anger/surprise/denial/depression. There’s no real perfect answer to that question except maybe “dead,” but even that opens up nearly as many questions as...
2007 was awesome
“I guess the story starts, in some way, when I sliced open my finger on a Friday night. All I wanted was a grapefruit (and a clean knife to cut it with), but the next thing I knew, paint-red blood was all over my kitchen floor. I was pissed on so many fronts: How bad is this cut? If I need stitches, that’ll cost money. Why did I have to run out of paper towels TODAY? Fucking KNIFE! Why did I...

And, yes, because it’s LA Cold, I’m wearing my cheap Burton toboggan/snowhat/beanie(?) that has a Burberry-ISH pattern to it. And then all of a sudden, I’m struck ‘pon the arm by a Blackberry (Storm, Touch, Douche, whatever) that is being held by a young lady. As usual, I take blame...
“Or did it bond me to Brad in the insanity of pain until I saw that I am Brad and he is me?”

Random thoughts
If you ever have a text message that you want to send at 7:30 pm, don’t wait until 2:35 am to actually send it. The resultant response is likely not going to be to your particular liking.
If you ever get the idea that you can walk from LaCienega to, say, Western at an inappropriately early morning hour, take that thought, sodomize it, and bury it in Griffith Park.
Terrible moments in...
