Asswipes

They know the lanes are merging but they go in and cut at the light, creating the very traffic that they're trying to avoid by using the right lane. Ugh.

Don't look directly at the image

It'll burn your retinas out.

The sun beginning to set, as seen from National near Sawtelle.

Foliage

Prettiest fall foliage I've seen so far in so cal this year. Picture fidelity on the curve doesn't adequately capture the colors I saw this morning, though.

Ice Pan

You pick your flavor, what kind of milk you want, and any desired toppings, then they make the ice cream for you! The taste didn't live up to the spectacle, unfortunately.

Rock Band

Not a huge deal since it was on bass on one of the medium songs, but still kind of cool.

Bonfire

Went to Dockweiler State Beach on Friday night for a little get together with friends. We couldn't find an open pit so we started our own fire in the sand near the water. It was a nice, relaxing evening, punctuated by the roar of aircraft taking off overhead.

Backlog: Hodori

Went to Hodori in Koreatown two weekends ago to have dinner with the plb crew. I ordered kimchi fried rice because it reminds me of my mom. That, and it tastes good.

I miss my parents.

Jason Mraz

Mraz at the Greek on Nov. 1. It was about to rain until the collective awesomeness of everyone present kept us dry. Totally going to another show when he's in town. Beautiful venue, beautiful songs.

Urban light

Beautiful art exhibit consisting of vintage lampposts from all over L.A. county. If you've passed by LACMA, especially at night, you've most likely seen it.

Legal Grind

Saw this on La Cienega while driving to Park La Brea on Thursday evening. Yeah, they serve coffee and legal counsel. How flippin' cool is this concept?

Live from Scoops

Mango pineapple and mocha oreo ice cream on a hot day is pretty win.

Swingers

Had breakfast two Saturdays ago with the plb gang, after a night of pre-bday fun. Here's my scrumptious fried egg sandwich, along with some of the best tasting breakfast potatoes I've ever had.

Belgian goodness

Shared a bottle of Duvel, a Belgian golden ale(?), with Tug last night. Half a bottle each got us surprisingly buzzed.

Backlog chronicles

Ryan waving a lighter (or at least a picture of one on his iphone) as I serenade him.

Almost there

Some friends took me out for an early birthday celebration this past Saturday. They brought me out this cup of pineapples (yum) topped by a flower made of a tomato skin (yuck) with a candle in its center. There I am pretending to blow so that pictures could be taken. I don't have any evidence of the bacchanalian debauchery that ensued. You can check other blogs if you're curious.

Eastside, with hike pictures to come later

Ate lunch at Eastside Market Italian Deli today. They make humongous sandwiches and I can't think of anything else to say about them because I'm too tired right now from the morning's death-defying climb.

Work craziness

We're moving to a new office this weekend so the past few weeks have been pretty hectic. Here's one of the boxes I'm using to pack up my stuff. It's nifty -- there's no need for tape or assembly -- it's engineered to form itself into a fully functioning packing box with little manipulation. Also in the picture is a plastic fencing sword I use to harrass coworkers.

Next we have a free can of soda. I was given the option of picking between this (Inca Kola), coke plus, diet pepsi, and mountain dew. I'm pleased with my choice. You can also see my work calendar, which has a picture of a turtle for the month of October.

Puppies!

First, an adorable puppy that looks like it has a coat of fluffy snow. Just hanging out with his chihuahua friend. Then we have me holding a smelly but soft, well-behaved, and also very adorable shih tzu.

Verona Trattoria

Dinner in Camarillo at this Italian restaurant. Service was very prompt and friendly, food was palatable, and company was good.

Grotto

Had to add this reproduction to the St. John's saga.

Can you tell...

... that I really love overcast days? This is while waiting at a light at the intersection of Pico and Robertson.
