This Thanksgiving is sort-of special for me because this weekend is my 10-year high school reunion. I won’t be attending the festivities, but I’d like to contribute something to the cause. Behold, a collection of my yearbook photographs from the past 50 years (yes, I was in high school for 50 years).
Now go enjoy your [...]

Why Michael Vick should be reinstated to the NFL – Updated
Can you think of a worse punishment than being center-stage in front of 65,000 people that hate you whilst dodging physical punishment from 3 to 5 (depending on the scheme) large men? I would even hazard a guess that Vick’s own offensive line would let a few “slip by” on his blindside, just for shits. [...]

Sausage factory
People in and around downtown Los Angeles might be interested in this fantastic new culinary endeavor, Wurstküche. I’m not sure how well it will go over in L.A. – I’m sure it’d be Zagat rated in say, Green Bay or Chicago – but I hope it finds its niché crowd. Check out the menu [...]

Gary Pinkel: the next Pete Carroll or another Phillip Fulmer?

And the award for most awkward lawsuit goes to…
… Sheikh Abdulla Bin Hamad Bin Isa Al-Khalifa v. Michael Jackson.
The £4.7 million lawsuit for an alleged breach of co… oh who gives a shit, I just think this guy’s name is ridiculous, made even more ridiculous by its close proximity to the biggest freakshow ever.
Update: Apparently, a date has been set for Jacko’s trial. [...]

A really big fan of the TF3D “deep blue” background? Wish you could gaze at that instead of the irritatingly bright white background when making phone calls? Me too! So download these and let me know what you think.

Los Angeles is burning
My life-long dream of experiencing life under volcanic fallout is now complete. Today I spent a few hours at the beach whilst ash slowly but surely covered the ground. I kid you not. Even right on the ocean, breeze and all, 90* hot air and debris smothered me. I actually had to shake my blanket [...]

The good, the bad, and the ugly
Three album reviews for you.
The Good
The Animals – The Animals Retrospective (2004)
I’m four years behind on this review, but I just discovered the album, so it’s news to me. Digitally remastered yet missing none of that classic fuzz that defined The Animals’ sound in the mid-1960’s. The best thing about The Animals is they never [...]
