NBA playoffs = douche night

Monday, June 30th, 2008

This night was impressively bad. This is why I fear if I stay in Los Angeles, I may be single forever.

First off the 6 foot 3 guy next to us decides that once the game starts, he needs to stand up. In front of us. And block the TV. And then he makes the wise […]

As if I weren’t stressed out enough… Geez.

Come on, Yukon. Can’t you put in a little more effort than that?

Maybe parking there to unload your things is a bad idea when there are large trucks lined up trying to get out of that driveway. I’m no genius, but I’m pretty sure that’s a stupid thing to do.

what I miss about the bus

Thursday, December 20th, 2007

Yesterday I managed to offend Flexcar users and bikers alike with my inflexibility and rigid attachment to my car. I have to admit there is a big downside to not taking the bus anymore, and that is the loss of oh-so-many camera phone opportunities.
Will I miss the crowded, stuffy discomfort? No.

Will I miss the older […]

I’d originally written this for this blog, but I decided to post it on LAist instead. So enjoy.

Santa Monica hates veterans

Friday, November 30th, 2007

I work for the county, so I’m well trained to respect all county holidays. I am also certain that the LADOT observes all major holidays and allows parking in the street sweeping restricted areas on holidays. Santa Monica, however, apparently doesn’t give a shit about the veterans and happily tickets on their special day, which […]

dear assfuck:

You really fucking irritate me. I’m driving along the 405, taking my friend to the airport after a very nice weekend, and as I’m driving along I decide to change lanes. Check mirrors. Clear. Check blind spot. Clear. Signal. Check blind spot again. Clear. Then you decided to waste 4 gallons of gas to accelerate […]

sigh

I was waiting at a stoplight and someone came down an alley/driveway and slammed into me (driving forward. Not backing up). Stupid invisible paint. Shouldn’t use it on cars.

driving in LA: you can’t win

Saturday, September 15th, 2007

I try to be a careful and considerate driver, and still I piss everyone off.

Today I was waiting to turn right. I see a pedestrian push the crosswalk button, so I deduce he is going to cross the street. Then he gets the walk sign. But he doesn’t cross. I wait 2 seconds and finally […]
