A Night Of Terror And Fun!
November 1, 2008-I’m surviving a Halloween Hangover this morning following one of the best October 31st celebrations I’ve enjoyed in a long time…. Continue reading
Some Stuff I Saw on Halloween
The great thing about Halloween is that it’s a non-commital holiday; everyone loves the day but you don’t have to spend it with your boring family, unless that’s your decision. Religious and traditional holidays were you can’t really escape, now those are a chore, but this one you get to decide what you want to do! I didn’t have any set plans but I did have some stuff to do, so I brought my camera along and took some pics. Wanna see what I saw? Click ahead fool!
Hallowin Is Here!
Last year I was lucky enough to be in Mexico around this time and got to see many of the Dia de Muertos festivities AND their incorporation of Hallowin (jaja!) into the season. If Frankenstein’s Monster can get into the spirit by sharing a big ass Pan de Muerto with his ghouly friends, then surely we can do a little cross cultural pollination of our own, que no? Have fun mixing it up this weekend!
Eastside mathematics
The time for a vato loco to cruise 360 miles to his sanchas apartment is 3 hours more than the time for his vieja to travel 300 miles to go catch him.Â
If the rate of his vieja driving is 15 miles per hour faster then the vato loco, find the rate of the rate of speed in which the vato loco is traveling to go see his sancha.
some whine… Have you noticed and scratched your head…
That there are a lot of peeps running around with scarves, thick hats, Uggs boots and other “winter” wear???
WTF?!!?!?
Just because it is October and ‘Gossip Girl’ and ‘Ugly Betty’ (East coast shows) are experiencing cooler weather don’t mean we need to dress the part here on the West coast!!!
It is 90 something degrees and these peeps make me feel hotter just by looking at them in their winter wear.
Which reminds me how I want to kick people who put fake snow around Christmas time when its 90 degrees!!!
Mother Nature doesn’t follow our calendars, we should follow her cues.
So Cal. embrace our weather, which yes doesn’t change much. Don’t like it? Please leave and go freeze.
Us children of the Sun and lizard people like it just fine.
[insert abrasively loud ice cream truck music]
Ever since I’ve moved back to the (Lincoln) Heights in July I’ve had this ice cream truck from hell come ’round. Continue reading
Around My Neighborhood
I took a little walk the other day to enjoy the crisp Fall air and just to see how my neighborhood was doing…. Continue reading
Our chickens will not go down without a fight…
Is it just me or do the chickens on our side of town seem to be more belligerent than the chickens further west at such places like Kookooroo, where they seem to be just zany, avant garde and delicious?
You want some of this?
Eastside 101: That Stupid Nut and Bolt Sign
It’s silly. Stupid. Juvenile. Crude. And maybe just a bit wrong, but I still get a kick when I catch a glimpse of this sign of a bolt chasing a screw nut (or are they both just running to help out at some new construction project?) from the 5 freeway, near the corner of Telegraph and La Verne, technically in City of Commerce. It’s been there for as long as I can remember, since back when I was an esquincle and much more of a mocoso. I bet you’ve all seen it.
Man, that’s such a dumb advertising sign. Thumbs Up!
Grillos
I was near El Centro recently and seen these treats at the check out counter at the local AM PM. I only really seen edible crickets for sale at El Mercadito or sometimes at swap meets, and they are usually in big tambos sold by the pound. I know in some places in Mexico they are a common snack (or maybe its grasshoppers?). I am not sure if they are being sold at any LA am pm yet, but maybe just maybe I might get the nerve and try them.
They got a variety of flavors too; bacon and cheese, salt and vinegar, sour cream and onion yum!
I Googled the company Hotlix and to my surprise they been in the business over 20 years! and got tons of other insect treats.
AMORES PERROS
Not long ago, I was waiting for my order of tacos to come out of one of my favorite trucks parked near Chavez and Evergreen. The wait was long, (as usual-but worth it!) and as I stared off into space, trying to find my taco-waiting “Zen†zone, I began observing the Evergreen Jogging Path across the street. Continue reading
