Just got weirdly emotional because I was watching Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives and Guy Fieri went to a wonderful Indian restaurant in the same shopping center where I would go grocery shopping with my mom when I was 5.

Suzanne Lacy, Three Weeks in May, 1977, an extended performance art piece. Each day Lacy stamped locations of LA sexual assaults on a map; fainter markings stood for estimated nine additional rapes for every one reported. A second map displayed sites of resistance www.suzannelacy.com/three-weeks-...

Hand stamping word "rape" multiple times on a map

I will stop being mean to establishment Democrats I generally agree with when they stop sending me texts like this.

The great irony of the "Choosin Texas" thing is that if the country music industrial complex was just like "we make good music that people like" they'd be unstoppable. Garth Brooks played to 1 MILLION people in Central Park in 1997.

Anyway thank god the Mets were not saddled with this guy's contract, what a great move.

Starting a series where I debunk the LA Times "how to have the best Sunday" features as being chronologically and geographically impossible to achieve.

RIP Chad Gilbert. If you want to play metalcore, you should be strapped to a chair and forced to listen to the first Shai Hulud record. If you want to play big room emo, you should be strapped to a chair and forced to listen to the first two New Found Glory records.

Universal Studios Halloween Horror Nights is the ultimate twisty experience for the current generation. Without Ozzfest there is no other place for like-minded Fear Factory fans to touch each other in public.

I lived in NYC for many years so I'm familiar with the concept of the "city target" (messy, poor inventory, basically a glorified CVS) but the Target nearest to me in West LA is a whole different animal in terms of being a retail black hole.

You really do have to fire David Stearns here, it's kind of embarrassing.

Pete Alonso just botched a throw at first and I remembered a time when I used to be so frustrated by that happening once a game instead of every other inning.

While many things have gotten worse over the years a thing I will say has gotten better is people doing shows generally sharing the set times in advance.

I very rarely remember my dreams but last night's stuck with me. It included: - running into Noah Syndergaard on the street - attending a party where I accidentally let a horse loose - asking a woman where she got her purse and being angrily told "my mom died last week and she gave it to me"

Been a while since I watched a baseball game as dumb as this Mets-Marlin game.

It does seem like a flaw in our system that you can run for a senator on a bunch of platforms and once elected be like "HAHA JK SUCKERS" and there's nothing the people who voted for you can do about it.

I found a new worst audible thing someone can do on a phone in a public space and it's choose a new alarm sound.

In July of 2001 I saw Every Time I die, Killswitch Engage, and Santa Sangre in the small room at Club Krome in New Jersey. ETID was playing on "The Burial Plot Bidding War" ep and I left with a copy thinking "something sort of special about that band".

Was considering going to the dodgers game today but the cheapest tickets are over $100. LA needs a crappy baseball team (not the Angels).

Ah, after a long day of work time to relax and see how my beloved Scarlet Knights are doing in their season opener.

I listened to the new Weezer album and this is very bad, you people just desperately want a new Weezer album to be good.

The new Interpol record is incredible. It is what it sounds like when a band from that era says "let's do the best version of this we've ever done"

Just had to use imagemagick for the first time in about 5 years and didn't have to look up a single command. STILL GOT IT.
