Taking the Trolley to the Station
I remember my first trip to San Diego 10 years ago next month, and this cities weather and amazing transit. So easy, so fun. I’m excited to be traveling here more often. From the SD station I’m taking the coaster back up to LAs union station. Using trains to travel might be an all around easier situation because of less wait and more ability to work, take calls etc. I might try to do...

My brother has decided to pursue his Ph.D. after just finishing his Masters program at ASU. Also, by “just” I mean his last class was yesterday and his graduation ceremony is in July. I am SO proud of him…all his life he’s been told that he wont ever amount to anything simply because he’s deaf. He’s broken every limitation people have set on him and keeps on going. I cant believe...
so true...
aprillowder: Ew I really hate that people think that once they’re in LA they are suddenly famous. Yeah right. You and a million other people.
Are we over each other?
tumblangeles: No meet-ups lately? Were the others that unbearable? Does everyone hate each other? Let me know, this is important. here’s the thing with meetups - someone just basically has to pick a reasonable time and a central-ish place.
anyone?

Halo 3 Private Detective, directed by me, produced by CHTV, written by and starring Dutch West. Based on viral Halo 3 death videos. This was a massive time rush. We had six hours in a 30-degree warehouse. Eva did a bang-up job finding the one authentic Halo 3 costume in Manhattan. The costume is actually green. Our new VFX team turned it red in specific shots. Digg it like it...
Update on Cute Couple
They took the bike taxi instead of a regular one to their hotel. Too. Stinking. Cute.
The Train is Such a Nice Way to Travel
There’s now an adorable couple behind me.
Early 30’s playing hookey from work for a day trip to SD.
Add to the list: couple trip on the train somewhere fun this summer.
Now if only I were comfortable with being part of a “couple.”
Older Woman in the Seat Behind Me
You’re sex and the city ringtone might be an inside joke with your oldest daughter, but the fact that it rings every five seconds and doesn’t seem to wake you from your food induced coma should be a sign that you need a new ringtone.
Stop waking up every 10 minutes and proclaiming ” 3 missed calls? Damn cell phone!”

Accessible Art
Earlier this year, seemingly out of nowhere, I had this urge to buy some art.
Original art.
Not one of a kind persay - but original.
Not Bed Bath and Beyond - but reasonable.
I had visited etsy before but never pulled the trigger.
The following posts are purchases I made back in March.
Now a couple of months later they bring me joy everyday.
While they aren’t huge ticket items,...

The infamous Molls has created an exceptional character that I think everyone can enjoy.
Especially people from Tampa … Florida that is.
Yup it’s sorta near Orlando. No that’s Kissimmee.
Right.
Umm, the west side of the state … yes the Gulf.
Of Mexico.
Really? Not even Bush Gardens? Still never heard of it?
Watchdutchwest:
ever since we premiered this short, we hear so often that it’s people’s favorite. it’s probably time we shoot something else like it. and yes, this is a parody of “Sleepers” (and “Mystic River”)
for the record - this was the first dutch west short I saw, and yes, it is incredible.
What exactly does Apple know about me?
noraleah:
Why is “Poison” by Bel Biv DeVoe the #1 song recommended “just for [me]” by itunes? Do they know that I wrote a short story of intrigue and mistaken identity in 5th grade, inspired by that song? They couldn’t … could they?
I did a fully choreagraphed dance routine to its my #3 recommended song.
Wilco - is my top rated album however. Oh how the mighty have fallen.

Not in an there are so many emotions flooding through me that I can’t manage.

I HEART TREACH
At a convention ... In Vegas
Two statements that wreak of irony and unabashed a-typical consumer thought. And yet, I’m not too worried about my carbon footprint over the next bit. Such an odd town with such an odd story - truly an “only in America” past. Well only in America until Macau takes the hearts of gamblers the world over by storm. End scene.
