New Elmo Toy Is Awesome

Check out the new Elmo toy. He sings, he dances, he sits, and he stands by himself. Watch the first video with Elmo rapping and doing jazz hands. Be sure to watch the video again but focus on the creepy actor dude behind Elmo. Thats one weird, nerdy dude with zero rhythm!

Downtown LA

A friend and I got bored and decided to go on a walking tour of downtown LA. We got about halfway through before calling it quits due to possible rain. Yes we are wimps. All the pictures are in my gallery.

This is the Bradbury building used in Blade Runner, one of my favorite movies. Building was also used in a music video from Heart.

Here’s another movie location. This one is from the scene in Fight Club where the giant ball sculpture is blown off its base.

The LA Central Market where you can get all kinds of food and stuff.

The shiny Disney Concert Hall.

People like to leave their mark on the concert hall.

The Angels Flight Incline, its no longer in operation.

Dreaming of Donuts

I wonder what it means if I’ve been dreaming of donuts.  And I mean an intense desire for donuts as in Homer Simpson.  In my dream I couldn’t get enough donuts and ate boxes of them, and all different kinds too.

Is The Prius The New Land Shark?

I’m tired of being stalked by Priuses when I’m walking in parking lots.  At low speeds they run completely on their electric motors and you can’t hear them until they are right on your butt or passing by.  They should be required to install bells on their hoods (like cats) or the drivers should be required to roll down their windows and make car engine noises.

Sittin’ In A Cafe

So this is what its like to sit and lounge in a cafe during the work week. As I sit here on a worn out sofa sipping on coffee and surfing the web on my iPhone I finally understand what its like to be a total slacker. I still haven’t figured out why there are always a bunch of people hanging out in cafes during the workday. Don’t these people work? If not, how do they afford the expensive coffee and MacBooks? And most importatntly, how do I get in on that deal?

Can’t Wait To See More

This has to be one of the most mysterious movie trailers that I’ve seen in a long time. The movie appears to be some kind of sci fi version of The Blair Witch Project. Its from JJ Abrams (Alias, Lost, New Star Trek, Mission Impossible III) so its got to be good.

What Was I Thinking??!!

I worked late tonight and didn’t have lunch, so I stopped by the local Denny’s on the way home. I haven’t eaten at Denny’s in years and just felt like having some greasy mass quantities of food. Either I’ve been eating more healthy lately or Denny’s has gotten really bad. At first I thought dinner wasn’t too bad. The salad was pretty fresh and well presented. I didn’t touch the dressing since it looked like tooth paste. But halfway through the “meat loaf” I started to get a little sick. The “gravy” looked like chocolate syrup and the “meat” was questionable. I tried washing the meal down with super sugary “lemonade”. I did manage to finish most of the dinner though I now regret not stopping halfway through. Guess I’m not going to be too nostalgic for Denny’s anymore even if they have free wifi now.

I Don’t Like Star Trek That Much

I’m a big Star Trek fan, but let it be known that I don’t want to be buried in a Star Trek casket.

Go Stanfurd????!!!!

Holy cow, did stanfurd just beat USC?  I had mixed feeling watching this game since I hate both teams, but in the end I had to root for stanfurd because a USC loss would be huge for Cal’s chances for the National Title and you can’t help but to root for the underdog (I heard the point spread was 41 points!!).
