To live & die in L.A…

I work on one side and live on the other. Total opposites. One Love.

The infernal roommate hunt

Finding a roommate has always been the bane of my existence. Well I just found a way to make that process even more painful: live in a “luxury” apartment. Yep, when your rent is more than twice what most people are willing to pay, surprisingly you don’t get many inquiries.

Chris Nolan, pick your Catwomen

Possible Catwomen It’s pretty much a foregone conclusion. The next Batman movie is going to have a Catwoman in it. they blew up the love interest in the last film and need a new villan, so this would kill two birds with one actress. At least that’s the consensus amongst my co-workers and myself. So the real question is who? Megan Fox, Angelina Jolie and even Cher (?!) have all been rumored to play the role, but Meagan can’t act, Angelina is too crazy ( and too well-known), and Cher is older than my grandma.

I held off from getting last year’s model; I guess the $699 price tag was enough to keep me at bay, but just barely. So two years later, with a new job across town, I find myself once again standing in line at 6 AM with my buddy Felix to get Apple’s latest toy. But instead of 20 people ahead of us, this time there was roughly 500.

Team Coco hits L.A.

Conan's Comedy Tour I’ve been a Conan O’Brien fan pretty much since I was able to stay up long enough to watch him on the Late Show. So after the whole debacle with NBC unceremoniously giving him the boot from the Tonight Show, I was surprised to hear he wasn’t snatched up immediately by another major network (ahem, Fox!). So how does an ex-talk show host fill his time after being paid 30+ million to not do a talk show? Between Red Bull-fueled marathon sessions of Halo, you do a comedy tour, naturally.

Decent Lakers season wrapped up

Lakers GameSeasons over! Last home game for 2010. My bro and I have been talking for years about meeting up for a Lakers game but it’s been a logistical nightmare getting him down here from Fresno, till tonight when the stars aligned. Props to Melmo for the ticket hookups!
