Someone emailed this to me today:
Understanding Women: A Man’s Perspective
I know I’m not going to understand women. I’ll never understand how you can take boiling hot wax, pour it onto your upper thigh, rip the hair out by the root, and still be afraid of a spider…

We decided to go with a Ladybug costume this year. My boss at work handed it down to me — it was a handmade outfit from the girl’s grandmother. L.A. Mommy had to replace the hat with her own creation, including stryofoam balls dipped in glitter.

She’s pretty happy with it.

As opposed to last year’s fish […]

Saturday was the day to carve up the Halloween pumpkins. We went to the pumpkin patch on Friday night, but I forgot my camera. I took some snapshots with my “camera phone”, but I haven’t figured out how the camera on my phone really works… so I wasn’t able to upload them. Of course, I […]

The above is a line from a Beck song and, not coincidentally, Beck is leading the charge in my What’s Tickling the Turntables post today. I’ve been groovin’ to the Siilverlake sensation for about a week now. His new album The Information is up on par with Sea Change (highly underrated and largely ignored) and […]

I’m going to borrow from a site that L.A. Mommy found called “Three Beautiful Things.” I think it’s a great idea — writing about 3 different things, each day, that have given you pleasure. I hate myself sometimes when I get jaded, cynical, and angry. I think those feelings are too easy to come by […]

I’m starting to sound more and more like my mom the older I get. And I’m starting to use those same old phrases that she used to use. It’s actually gotten to the point where I don’t know or remember if what I’m saying is so old and out of date that I might be […]

Now is the time of year when it’s really, really easy to find yourself in the middle of a horror movie scenario. So, make sure you take extra-than-normal precautions to prevent becoming a victim:

If you and your friends are stuck in the woods/an abandoned warehouse/a spooky old home/Joan Rivers’ house, you don’t have to be […]

In the “Thank Your Lucky Stars You Can’t Smell” category:
L.A. Toddler is rolling around on top of me like I’m her personal jungle gym, she drops a fart bomb on me that would blow your ears back. She giggles and says, “Daddy! I toot on you!”
I kept trying to tell myself not to laugh but […]

One of our other fun events was to go out to dinner on Saturday night. We were supposed to meet a Japanese friend who was passing through L.A. on his way back home. But he was delayed so we went to a Mexican restaurant on our own.

L.A. Toddler was in a great mood, which is […]

I helped make a movie on Sunday. A friend shot a short film called “Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse Barbershop Quartet” and I was the cinematographer. It’s a comedy about the 4 horsemen awaking to spread their good deathly vibes… as singers in a barbershop quartet. “Hello, my Apocalyptic, ba-bee!”
Here’s a still shot from the […]
