Either Amanda or myself snapped this outside of the Arclight, it's been too long for me to remember - it was the first time it had rained since last year...


The hotel room Amanda and I stayed in during her birthday in San Diego wasn't the best hotel we've ever visited... for example, when we looked behind the mini-fridge - because it wasn't plugged in - there were two empty beer cans behind it.


Just a random telephone pole I passed while on my way home.


On my birthday, Amanda and I took a hike up to the top of the Hollywood Hills.




I thought this was funny - no real story behind it.


The other night, Amanda and I headed downtown to see Syriana at the Grove... we left at four in the afternoon to make a five o'clock showing... and it's only a 20 minute drive, maybe 35 minutes with daytime traffic after getting off the 101. But - little did we know, there was a massive parade down Sunset Blvd, which by the way, is an amazing movie I just watched... anyways - on top of this, there was an accident on the Hollywood Bowl exit, "no big deal, we'll just take the next one", we thought. But the next exit was down because of the parade, so Vine was jam packed with two exit's worth of traffic.

Long story short - we had to drive for miles and miles out of our way, down back streets, to get around the event and we missed our 5 o'clock showing. Then the next showing, at 7, was sold out. So we had to buy tickets for 8... and then stand in line outside for 40 minutes. But - it was worth it, the movie was great.


Here's the band-geeks that ruined our night [no real offense to band-geeks]. They were from Ohio... or something. And kept shouting, "channel 5, channel 5!". Their 15 minutes of fame and they're wearing white top-hats with a bright red feather sticking out the front. How sad.




Amanda in front of the massive Santa's little workshop in-front of the Barnes and Noble... just for the record, I made her take this picture. I'm the dork... not her.


Around 7 o'clock they shoot this white-foam-snow-flake-stuff off all the roofs of the buildings surrounding the fountain. Which is kind of lame, since the foam just dissapears after hitting the ground - the coolest part of snowfall is when everything is covered in a brand new layer of white. But I suppose that would be a bitch to clean up every night after 7.
