Shop like you mean it

I'm at the grocery store today, which is as much fun at the dentist, or the Republican National Convention. If ever I forget that I live in L.A., this is where I should go. There was a guy working on his laptop.. which is propped up in the seat of his grocery cart. Must have been an important transaction, since he also felt it necessary to converse on the cell phone. Move asshole, I'm trying to get to the eggs. People are dumb.

Hmm..

Ratings for this year's Indy 500 jumped 40 percent. Strange.

Movie Review: "Crash"

Go see Crash. See it now. See with a friend. See it by yourself. Just see it. It's the reason actors move to L.A.

The Amazing Race

How does a 23-year-old woman, a rookie, stall in the pit, spin out, fall back to 16th place, go back to lead several laps, and still finish 4th in the Indianapolis 500? That's hot. Congratulations, Danica Patrick. I think the IRL finally got what it needs.. a star.

I can't feel my legs

From the title of this post, you would think I was drunk. No, I just hiked for 3 1/2 hours through the San Gabriel Mountains. I'm exhausted. And to think there were still so many trails there to cover. So having done that, I probably won't be hiking for the rest of this weekend. Or walking, for that matter.

Upon my return to civilization, I catch wind that Robby Gordon is whining over Danica Patrick's unfair advantage. You see, she weighs about 100 pounds lighter than most of the other drivers in the Indy 500. And, she's a woman. Oddly enough, the jackass isn't even racing in the 500 this year. He says he "won't race against her until the IRL does something to take that advantage away."

Afraid to lose to a girl, Robby? Wus.

Other professional leagues are already looking into ways to eliminate unfair advantages in their respective sports. Basketball players will all be the same height. Hockey players will all be Russian. Let the cloning begin.

Robby Gordon... today's Celebrity Jackass.

Almost there

Had a good interview today. Good company, nice atmosphere, stable gig. We'll see where that goes. It wasn't enough to make it a good day, though, as my DAMN CELL PHONE STILL ISN'T WORKING PROPERLY!!!! Talked to customer service for a while, because, you know, I hadn't talked to them in almost 24 hours. Looks like I will have to settle for a refurbished phone. I was supposed to get a loaner from the store for the time being, but, I drove all the way over there for nothing. Idiots. I will end them. Mark my words T-Mobile store guy, you will hate me in the end. I will make sure of it.

I think I might go hiking tomorrow. No sense waiting for my cell phone to ring. Or not ring. Or ring and disconnect mid-conversation. Also supposed to go to the Falcon Theatre in Burbank to see a play starring Hector Elizondo tomorrow night, which I hear is fantastic. Dammit. I just remembered I forgot to call Charlie back. He had 4 extra tickets for the 500 this weekend. Would have loved to have gone. Something still draws me back there. Probably always will.

So that's what working feels like

I did some P.A. (Production Assistant) work today with my brother. It's a glamorous job of "hey, bring this over there." I needed the money. And it was safer than working the street. May have a job interview tomorrow. Not sure, because my cell phone still isn't working. I hate T-Mobile. I don't care how hot Catherine Zeta Jones is. My favorite line from the girl at customer service? "But we have the cheapest plans." Wonder why that is.

Happy Birthday , Mom!

Love ya!

The Finale

Desperate Sundays is done for the season. But, plans are already underway for a new tradition in NoHo.... 80's Night! I know, ironic. As if we needed a reason to have people over for drinks.

Damn, it's hot

91 today. And it's still May. We have no central air... just some stupid thing called a swamp cooler. I'm pissed off too, because my cell phone stopped working yesterday. Spent two hours on the phone with T-Mobile customer service yesterday, talking with 5 different morons. Hung up on twice. No answers. Went to a store today - more B.S. Going back to the store I bought the phone from tomorrow, dammit. Shoulda stayed with Verizon. Did get more hiking in this weekend, though. Back to Griffith Park - did a 2-hour hike up to Mount Hollywood and Dante's View. Just hiked 2 hours through the Verdugo Mountains on Thursday. Bike tomorrow. Hopefully the gym. God-willing, a job, too.

Confession

I have something to admit to you. It's been eating at me for a few weeks now. I've wanted to tell you sooner, but I just didn't know how. I didn't know what you'd say, or how you'd react. I also didn't want to lose you. We've been together for so long, and the last thing I ever wanted was to lose you to someone new. Yes, she's fun and exciting and different. We have wonderful conversations, whereas you've always just sat there.. listening... quiet. I know it's just a fling. It won't last. They never do. It could be over tomorrow, or next week. Or next year. I don't know. I know you feel neglected. I haven't spent half the time with you as I have with her. I never meant to hurt you.

For all of this, Blog, I ask your forgiveness. You will always be my first. This MySpace chick is just a phase.

What's with today, today?

When you can't remember what day it is, you're either A) Unemployed B) Retired or C) Senile. At one point, I had myself convinced that today was Tuesday, and tomorrow is Thursday. And this was when I was sober. Still looking for a job - one that will allow me to audition when I need to, while still paying the bills. I also want weekends free, and holidays. Including, but not limited to, Colombus Day, President's Day, Earth Day and Flag Day. Oh, and National Coin Week. And I only want to work between the hours of 6 and 10pm. ~~And a company car.~~ And a company limo.

It's all about the Benjamins, baby

Remember when head coaches in the NFL wore suits on the sidelines? Now they dress like Average Joe Superfan who's up drinking in the cheap seats. Enter Mike Nolan. He's the new head coach for the San Francisco 49ers. He wants to dress up for the game. Old School. Like his Pop. But the NFL says no. It's a "marketing issue." What a crock of shit.

I think Vince would have agreed.

Yes, it was me.

I was the one who made Jeffrey T. Mason aware of the entity that is MySpace. He has officially launched himself into the internets, and all his word are belong to us. Should this excite you in some weird and twisted way, you may visit him here. I take sole responsibility for unleashing this menace upon you. It is not enough that Earth suffer from famine, plague, Ashton Kutcher, and Dubya's invisible WMD. I have thrown this being into the mix to see how the subjects react. It should be noted that this experiment has no scientific value. Is is merely for my sick amusement.

You're welcome.

Happy Mother's Day - Love you Mom!

Once again, I wasn't home in St. Pete. for Mother's Day. But, I celebrated anyway. I got up early, and drove to Malibu. Rode up Pacific Coast Highway, and hiked for about 2 hours in Escondido Falls. It's beautiful out there. Hopefully I'll get to take Mom there eventually. It's amazing what she's done for so many people over the years. And she's still putting up with my Dad. She's a saint. I can't wait 'til they can visit.

Man, I'm wiped. And to think, Chris gets back into town Tuesday. We're going to be having guests come and go for the next 3 weeks. Weee.

By the way, congratulations to Reggie Miller and the Indiana Pacers. After all they've dealt with this year, they still manage to win a playoff series!

Eleven reasons why I'm an idiot

I trip over cracks in the pavement.
I stutter when I meet someone.
I am oblivious to anyone showing interest.
I move on if I can't find a parking space.
I buy lettuce knowing I'll forget it's there.
I watch the same movie I watched last night because nothing else is on.
I buy books I don't finish.
I fall for bad girls.
I fall for good girls.
I always ruin something new.
I thought I'd grow up by now.

Smile like you mean it

Did some driving around town this weekend, 'cause, you know, gas is so cheap in L.A. these days. Drove around the hills, Sunset, Melrose. Went to Griffith Park and got out to walk around. Before you know it, I had hiked all the way up to the Griffith Park Observatory, which, as Dad pointed out, is where they filmed Rebel Without a Cause. I can still feel it in my legs. I love hiking out here. I found a place online I might check out soon, called Escondido Falls in Malibu. Sounds pretty amazing. You know, with falls, and stuff.

Yesterday was more eventful than I planned. Our crazy-cat-lady-neighbor-bitch interrupted Desperate Sunday to inform us that her water heater was leaking... into our garage. Must - get - her - out.
