I don’t mind the drive to Vegas. The desert scenery is very pretty, and there are conveniently placed coffee joints right wherever I have to stop in order to give my aging vehicle a rest (the advantage to an SUV with a V-6 is that the gas mileage is really good. The disadvantage is trying [...]
I’ve been to Las Vegas more in the past 12 months than in the preceding 12 years.
I’m not really a gambler, so I always kind of feel like an imposter, and yet circumstances as of late seem to keep sending me back.
Someone I know through the blog hooked me up with a pass to NAB, [...]
One of my DVD rentals was the TV show Firefly.
It’s a good show, but while watching it, all I could think was “Damn, I feel sorry for the poor bastards that had to work on that thing”.
On a TV show, you have standing sets, swing sets, and locations.
Standing sets stay the same episode after episode [...]
It’s still incredibly busy out there, but over the weekend I decided to be selfish and take a few days off.
I didn’t get offered any work, so I didn’t turn down anything down for Monday or today, I just didn’t didn’t make any effort to get on the phone and see who’s hiring.

I haven’t been to see The Sweater Queen in a long time.
I’ve had this horrible cough that’s not going away, and I’m hearing reports of it lingering in some co-workers for six weeks. I can’t live like that for so long – I sound like I’m in the final stages of some ruinous 19th century [...]
We had a 6 am call at Culver, which is a good thing – it’s before the traffic and I can make it from my place in about half an hour (a 7 am call and it’s 45 minutes, an 8 am call and it’s an hour. Fucking traffic), but the day I chose to [...]
Working weekends really fucks me up – on Saturday, I kept thinking it was Tuesday, and on Sunday night I kept waking up in a panic thinking it was Thursday and I had forgotten to put out the trash.
Today, I wandered around in a daze, not really knowing what day it was at all, [...]
Just because I like clouds and we so rarely have them here in Los Angeles:
So there.
The car I’ve been driving for the past year has just broken down.
On the way home from work*, it started making a rattling noise (which stopped once the engine warmed up, which is why I kept driving even though I spent the entire drive begging the car to make it home), lost oil pressure at [...]
