A conversation at work about how I have never owned a car throughout my nearly 19 years in Los Angeles lead to me writing this. Give it a read. Or don't. nypost.com/2026/10/10/l...

Exclusive | I’ve lived in LA 19 years without a car. Here’s the secrets I’ve learned and how much I’ve saved
There was a constant refrain I would hear about moving to Los Angeles: “You have to have a car.”

Greetings from Section 333 of The Crypt! Its most definitely not "winter" but its good to be back at the "winter home" for the #LAKINGS home opener... and to bask in the glorious AC since it's still in the 90s. Gonna make a lap and see if I can find Mikey and Kayla . Should be a fun night!

My schedule got moved around a bit which gave me Tuesday off and allowed me to snag a ticket for the #LAKings home opener on Tuesday! Looking forward to being back in the Winter home! #GoKingsGo

I wrote this about my day at the Lucas Museum of Narrative Art. Give it a read. Or don't. nypost.com/2026/09/30/l...

I’m a huge Star Wars fan, I went to the George Lucas museum and  the $210 R2D2 cookie jar wasn’t the most surprising thing I saw
It’s a must-see for Star Wars fans — and art lovers, too.

All right. Lets see what you got, #WidowsBay. Also, Im cord-cutting most of my streaming services so give me some Apple recs besides Ted Lasso that I can knock out before canceling. Is For All Mankind that good/essential? Silo?

One (ok, probably two) last beer(s) in Charlotte before grabbing a Lyft to the airport. I was expecting the Carolinas to be a muggy hellscape but it was actually nicer than LA! 47 states down, 3 (Alaska, Montana and Nebraska) left, probably all gonna be crossed off next year after turning 50.

Good morning, Greenville! Had a blast at Smiley's on the Roxx last night. That place was rocking all night. Apparently I missed the hotel free breakfast that runs until 9 am so ill probably grab a muffin or something at the gas station/bus stop and see if there's a Bojangles near the bus stop in

So Greenville is quite like Charlotte in that there are no shortage of bars in general, but there are a shortage of bars open till 2 am. The one I found in the general vicinity of Fluor Field was this place called Smiley's on the Roxx. Apparently on Wednesdays they have live band karaoke, and its

the rain has passed. Good crowd already despite the soggy conditions and its cool they have a version of Fenway's Green Monster/Monstah. Enjoying a Ralleyville Lager, a fine local brew from New Realm Brewery, and picked up a new shot glass and pin for the collection! Stay tuned for whatever!

Greetings from Section 103 of Fluor Field, home of the Greenville Drive (Boston Red Sox High-A club), my 12th minor league park... out of 120. 10 percent done haha! The grounds crew just took the tarp off after a brief spell of rain. First pitch got pushed back a bit (7:35 from 6:45) but it seems

Waffle House experience unlocked. Ive been to Southern states plenty of times but somehow I never made it to a Waffle House, but there was one right across the street from the hotel so had to get some breakfast. Staff was hilarious and food was cheap!

Another night at the summer home, and another bobblehead secured! Looking forward to the start of a winning streak after a ridiculous road trip. #Dodgers

Heading back to the summer home solo tonight for Tarik Skubal's Dodger Stadium debut and to see if an entire team can pull its head out of its collective ass after an abysmal road trip #Dodgers

recovery efforts, which is awesome. I dare you to come do shots with a fan, Sydney! #Kidding #Kinda. Tis been a fun but too short trip to the PNW! Back to LA tomorrow and back to work for a two-day work week on Friday. Stay tuned for whatever!

Last night of the small trip so had to go out in Spokane once more. Fast Eddie's is a close walk to the hotel so i figured this would suffice. Very lively spot but not crazy packed on a Wednesday. Perfection. Also learned that @sydney_sweeney was in Spokane (her hometown) today to help with wildfire

Just had brunch with Wayne-O before heading to the airport! Had a blast in PDX! Pickles game was great and we went to a dive called Momo's to play pool after the game. You're pretty weird, Portland, and I dig it! I shall return at some point!

Good morning, Burbank! Haven't been to the Burbank Airport in years since it was renovated. Feels like a real Airport now instead of a den of drunks heading to Vegas. Quick jaunt to Oakland where I have a few-hour layover before connecting to Portland. Looking forward to seeing the Portland Pickles

Greetings from Section 129 Row 2 of Angel Stadium! These tickets would probably be $150-$200. Here in Anaheim? $27, to see this guy Jacob Misiorowski pitch. I hear he's good. Hanging with Dominique Lubsey, crushing $4.50 Coors Banquets, eating brats. Pretty pretty good Sunday. Cheers!

2010, and my first time actually exploring the city. The first time was to visit Laika while they were making ParaNorman and we literally went from the airport to the studio and back to the airport. Seeing a Portland Pickles game on Monday and getting to experience one of the wildest baseball

No work till next Friday! Taking the train to Anaheim this morning with my friendo Dom to watch Brewers ace The Miz pitch against the Angels in $27 field level seats haha! Then home to pack this empty backpack for my first trip since Toronto in April! Heading to Portland for the first time since

#SpiderManBrandNewDay is good. Perfectly fine. Absolutely no reason to hide Sadie Sink's incredibly obvious character at all. She's great, truly, so is Tom and Zendaya and Jon. But the "big reveal" got absolutely zero reaction from my theater. Probably because it was so obvious.

Holy shit! The Eye of the Bedlam Bride - #DungeonCrawlerCarl Book 6 - is complete! Absolutely bonkers! So many huge swings Matt Dinniman takes in this book, and they all connect in ways I was not expecting. Probably starting Book 7 - This Inevitable Ruin - tomorrow before I see #theodysseymovie.

#Jackass Best and Last was a tremendous send-off of a franchise I've been thoroughly enjoying for literally half my life. I will miss the extreme shenanigans thoroughly.
