HAPPY BIRTHDAY ALEX

Pete to Randy

I might get Hawk: The Slayer in the mail today so you might want to work that into your planning process. In the DVD commentary in the Spaced episode that references the movie, Edgar Wright says it's a very bad movie, so we may be in for a crapfest delight. You know what my favorite bad movie that we watched is? Ghost Ship. I really love that opening scene where the cable slices everybody in half, its craptacular. I'm excited to see what you have in mind for tonite. Your last stint planning a night out turned out to be a real adventure. They told me to tell you "Hi" at Applebee's last night. After I explained that you were in a bad place, mentally that fateful night they understood. "The aftermath of Taken has been hard on us all" they said. Anyway, they say no hard feelings you can come back any time. They wanted to know how you liked Watchmen but I just said, "don't ask." I hope your plans tonight don't involve going to Hollywood and Highland like you suggested last night. I have to be honest, I'm so old now that I don't even really know what that is. Does Paris Hilton hang out there? I still say that if I got a chance to lay down some tight beats for Paris that she would dig me. Not that I like Paris, but it would be an interesting sociological experiment wouldn't it.

Thoughts while driving the interstate 10 West

Clearman's Galley (the new one) is just OK. I have not established a great rapport with the place, not like I did the old one. I used to like sitting by the big-screen tv in the southeast corner. Now most of the tvs adorn spaces near the ceiling, and they are too small for such viewing from afar. I miss the little dinghy with all the condiments and napkins, what not as well. I like the full bar. But I haven't gotten used to the cleanliness in presentation and lines that the new Boat offers. Plus, for some strange reason (probably only in my mind) the food don't taste as good as it usedta.

It is faster to take the I-60 than it is to take the I-10. Also, instead of taking just the I-5 to Disneyland, take (edit)HWY 57 instead. It turns into the five. Much better, trust me.

There are a gang of strip clubs in Industry. I have been to some of them.

Superhero movies usually let me down. The last one I saw, "Hellboy" on DVD was a pleasant surprise. Either I want to have zero expectations going in, or I want the movie to be utterly faithful to the source material. No mixing and matching for the sake of cramming as much action into the movie as possible. For example, I thought X-Men 3 was craptacular because they tried to include too many characters thus neglecting the storyline which was completely bloated with too many ideas. Stick to one or two plots. With Hellboy, I had no idea what was going on yet I enjoyed it because the plot seemed straightforward.

Ronald Reagan was a war criminal.

I never worry about the gas tank anymore because I always fill it up when stopping for fuel. A sign of maturity? I dunno.

oh what a beautiful morning.

i took this picture from my patio yesterday morning before leaving for work. it's so purty here.

The Pantene Effect

There was no bar soap in the shower this morning. Which I knew because there was no bar soap in the shower yesterday, because I used it all. But of course my half sleeping pre-morning shower brain didn't realize this until I was good and wet. Lauri had already left for work so there was no yelling out, "Lauri, bring me some soap!" So two very simple options present themselves, the first is to towel off, walk to the hall closet, dripping on the carpet on the way and get a new bar of soap orrrrrr I could improvise. Shampoo is soap right? It's just liquid soap. People use liquid soap all the time with those loofas. So yes, I washed myself with shampoo this morning. I washed my armpits, I washed my apendages, and yes I washed my unmentionables with shampoo. I find that my pubes are especially soft, shiny and managable today.
***As of this publication there is still no bar soap in the shower

The problem is...

I got nothing to do. If you have read all 10 previous posts. You are either thinking man Randy is super lame, a total genius or has too much free time at work. I would have to agree with you on the last two not so much the first.

A Friendly Haiku

Another haiku for you

Seven hours gone (5)
Only one more hour left (7)
Then to home I go (5)

Started something

Did you ever start something that at first you thought was a great idea but then about halfway through you thought about it and what once seemed like a great idea wasn't anymore?

Postponed

The Forever21 company picnic was scheduled for Saturday May 16 but due to the recent public concerns over the spread of the H1N1 flu and the Company’s priority on the health & safety of our employees, the annual picnic has been postponed until September.
Damn swine flu I wanted a big TV.

Don't forget

Don't forget everyone the 3rd Annual JBC is this Saturday!!
Be there or be square.

Really?

So you'd think a guy who works on computers all day and night would be able to figure out how to change some small details on the blog as he sees fit. You'd be wrong.

Old Posts

If you haven't checked it out you should definitely check out older posts they are far more entertaining than my haiku.

A little Haiku for you

Sitting here at work (5)
8 o clock nothing to do (7)
This is my haiku (5)

Movie Quote

Luminous beings are we, not this crude matter.

Pubs?

Pete brought up an interesting point to me on Sunday, I believe.
Why are there no pubs here? And if there are where are they?

PETE! Free comic book day is this Saturday!!!

HIT THAT SHIT UP... Everyone else interested... here's a link:

This is what a Google search led me to....

I can't even begin to recall how I came to search Google images for St. Elizabeth Church photos... but that led me to Altadena's website. Then I read an abridged history of the City of Altadena (written by Mike Manning... ha!). That brought me to a blog written mainly by members of the Altadena Chamber of Commerce - when this article caught my eye. I'd love to hear what you guys think since I'm removed from the situation now.

We Kick ASS!!!!!

I just read all of 2005 posts or at least skimmed through all of them while listening to my ipod. After getting pissed that I'm not there and also crying from laughing so hard. I came to the realization that everyone who is on this blog KICKS SERIOUS ASS!!!!!!! I mean it all of you guys are great. Dammit! I wish it was still 2005 partly because I had a high society girlfriend in Haylie Duff. Just thought I should say that. I would blog more but I got nothing to blog about.

The Graveyard Shift

Ha. My dad used to work at the big Post Office on Lincoln, pretty much for as long as I was alive, til he died. He worked some weird hours; he'd leave after dinner at around 530 and get back home 'round 230 in the am. Me and my sister, Angela, watching reruns of Taxi and Tales From the Darkside would see the headlights and hear his car pull into the driveway as we scurried to our rooms.

I wonder if my mom ever thought that my dad cheated on her? Probably, I guess that's natural? But after he passed, some of his friends told me they admired that my dad never really looked at any other chicks even when they went out drinkin. Don't really know if that's true but I appreciate it I guess.

Anyway that's a weird way to start a post. I was reminded of stayin up late probably because of Randy's post title and also because I am actually staying up late too. Why am I up late you ask. Well I am painting a portrait of George and Priscilla Miranda. Why am I doing you wonder. Well I am a motherfucker I guess. But it's fun times believe it or not, I did a shot or two of Maker's and washin it down with some Heiny.

Times are alright. I wish it was hott already. I still work too much thought most of my time is spent playing basketball and making food. So that's pretty cool. Then again my work and home life intersect so much that I really actually live inside my own rat race, only there's no race, only kids who need food and guidance.

Oh by the way!!! There's a party here at Southwestern Academy (2800 Monterey Rd. San Marino 91108...Dave knows where it is he takes advantage of the gym every so) called ArtsFest at the end of the month, Apr 30th a Tuesday to be exack. And you all are invited. There's art and music and a fashion show I think? And me and Steffanie is gonna be there. PLus I have some pieces I been working on there. So it would be cool and it starts at 2pm until sunset. Also there is raffles for thinks like wiis and bicycles.

enough self-promotion... did i tell you guys the steff is my beer pong partner in the upcoming JBC?? (JOE BIMA CLASSIC!!!) this is the thrid annual one, suckas!!!

ps i don't think you guyse are suckers. thanks for reading this far i love you.
