Went to the farmers market today. it was quite the adventure. The street that my girlfriend lives on, is being tore up, so I had to drive around in circles, convincing numerous flagmen that i needed to get through. And when it came time for us to leave her house, there was a large piece of machinery parked in front of her drive way, digging...

Oh damn! If I knew you were coming, I would have hung around. As usual, I was sleeping at the library 
Despite the fact that she has been out for a few weeks, after having her appendix removed, my boss still had enough energy to get new ink. And to get her daughter her first tat as well. Too damn cool. I can't hardly wait for the Rock of Ages convention in OC next month. I'm so jonesin'.

I think appendix removal counts as a body mod.
Night before last, I was woken up by the sound of children's music, coming from my living room at 4am. Apparently, my son's Leap Frog table was playing, over and over again. And it wasn't just one song, it was 4 or 5 different songs. I had no idea the damn thing played so many tunes.
Needless to say, I was a bit spooked. So,...

No, I don't actually work the Market. I just set it up in the morning and tear it down in the afternoon. In between, I'm usually at the library...just listen for the snoring
I go out to my car at 7am this morning, to find my passenger door was slightly opened, unlocked, and someone had totally rummaged through all the crap in my car. My stereo, my cd's, my jacket, all still there. But everything was moved from where I had left it. All the contents of my glove compartment were strewn about the floor. All that was...

Yeah, I never even heard about that SJ punk thing at the Blank Club...I don't think it was advertised. I'm pissed. Hopefully I can worm my way in
I rarely have time to listen to music, except during my commute. However tonight I stumbled across My Bloody Valentine's Rarities 1 CD... divine listening experience *swooon*
The boy and I went and got our ears pierced/stretched on Sunday. I went from a 10g to 6g, cuz the guy said, "No problem, I can see right through them." So as he's stretching them, one side is so tight that the tapering rod got stuck. Yah.. should have know then to stick with 8g... cuz now, three days later, my ears are very...

hey i just realized you were born my same year....i thought everyone was 12 around here...
I've managed to squeeze in some reading time during my 30 minute lunch break at work. I don't make it downtown anymore, and now I know why that's not such a bad thing. According to local papers, the Downtown Association is trying to revamp it into a posh playground for the rich, chasing away any hopes of the alternative nightlife that once existed, minus one...

I used to work for the Downtown Association, and I can tell you first hand that that's not true...they don't have the power to do that. Perhaps they mean the Redevelopment Agency? Was the article in the Mercury? I'd like to read it.

Eh, last week's Metro is already off the stands. I'll see if I can scrounge one up.
The Downtown Association is a non-profit, with a staff of ten people. They have a board of directors comprised of about 35 downtown business owners, and the Association acts on their (and the rest of the downtown business owners, for that matter) behalf. They can go to the Mayor or the city council and say, "here's something the downtown businesses are concerned about." But that's about it. They really have no say as to what kind of business opens, as long as it's legal. (and the executive director is very cool...several years ago, he was advocating for a skate park!)
However, the city is notorious for the mass of red tape businesses (especially new ones) have to wade through, and the Redevelopment Agency (who I fucking hated dealing with when I worked at the SJDA) has had a reputation for trying to force out businesses they don't like, and force in businesses that they do (with predictable results - Zanottos, the Pavilion Mall, the UA Theatre, etc., all closed due to lack of business). It's a frustrating, political, bureaucratic mess
Oops, I'm probably going on too long. Let's talk more over rum and cokes at the Caravan!
