On Fire

August 31, 2009

Smoke as seen from Toluca Lake and through car windshield on the 101:
Luckily, a puffy white cloud is aesthetically pleasing and although hot, I smell nor cough any other signs of a nearby fire.

The same cloud from atop a Santa Monica parking garage:

I love this style of editing, but I can’t commit to doing it all the time — I love bright colors too much.

In Yo Face

August 30, 2009

The coolest people I’ve met in LA and perhaps the world, are all improvisers.  I thought I’d hit the jackpot with In Rare Form and then came In Yo Face.  Turns out most improvisers are awesome.

Yesterday, BR hosted a BBQ (or a “cook-out” as SD and I call it) for In Yo Face & friends at his Beachwood Bachelor Pad.  It was fun.  I want to do it again, like, tomorrow.

These people are REALLY talented.  I love how CR appears to be analyzing BR’s form in the middle pic.

KK created this beautiful & delicious display of “Dirt.”

BR is very focused.  If I had to pick a favorite Jeopardy contestant slash winner, I guess it would have to be him.  Since he’s so focused and all.

Sometimes focus doesn’t work.

But sometimes it does!  BOOM!  In Yo Face!

Popcorn

August 29, 2009

Yeah, so I had this picture of popcorn but nothing to say.  So I wrote a poem.  It’s really silly.  Sometimes people like silly stuff, though so just a reminder that everything on this blog (photos and words both) are copyrighted.  So if you take my silly stuff, I’ll get really silly on you.

The S’s are moving….Get it?  MOVING.

You don’t get it.  Whatever, it wasn’t my idea.  But it’s funny anyway.

And you are cordially invited to attend (cash in hand) the Moving/Yard Sale this Saturday in Tarzana.  Google maps will say it’s in Reseda but that’s total BS, it’s Tarzana. The sale features: Furniture, toys, CDs, games, books, small appliances, clothing, and a FREE guinea pig to anyone who wants her!  Please someone go and save this thing.  Her name is Pumpkin and she does not come when called because she’s a guinea pig.

There isn’t much I would consider freakier than this.

The Skinniest Coyote

August 26, 2009

Another typical LA Coyote, I saw this little guy after I pulled over to jot down a note.  I looked up to see him across the street staring at me which he did for ten minutes. I couldn’t stop staring back. The last time this happened, I was on foot on the other side of Griffith Park and it was freakin’ scary.  This time I took video and stills from the comfort of my car and imagined how if I were on foot it would be…freakin’ scary.

I saw two signs last week that cracked me up.
