The sunday before the 4th of July every year is the Montrose Auto Show. The farmer's market takes up on end of the street on Honolulu as it always does, and the other end of the street (and a couple side streets as well) is filled with old cars. Great way to spend a lazy Sunday morning.

UPDATE:Trailer is up on apple

UPDATE,UPDATE:It's now looking more and more that the Ethan Haas sites are in no way related to the Cloverfield project or anything 1-18-08 for that matter. This however is coming from AICN, so as always rumors supported by rumors. Interesting. BUT, what i have heard is that FF0000 ("red" for you who don't read hex) is responsible for the flash development.

So we figure it out. Its the suntan lotion that Jen's put all over her arms. Paige just plain hates it, and won't go near it. So we pull the plug. We're already late and won't make our reservation, so we've blown it. We ask Anne and Darren to drive up to our house and we'll figure it out from there. We both feel like complete assholes.

Jen jumps in the shower and I heat up a bottle. We actually get Paige to eat from the bottle and she passes out cause she's been screaming now the better part of an hour.

So now we really feel stupid, cause we're telling Anne and Darren that she's screaming and won't take anything, and when they walk through the door, she's sound asleep.

Insert embarrassed look here.

So we hang out at the house for a little while then decide to at least run out to get some lunch. The black cow is decided on, and we head out. Great part is (well, the embarrassing part for us is) that Paige doesn't complain the rest of the day at all.

So now we owe Anne and Darren a trip to the Huntington and probably a few dozen drives down south to make up for this. Sorry.

Sunday started off good with a trip out to breakfast at Dish. Paige is perfect, but we're seated next to a table with a toddler. Not speaking a whole lot, but very mobile. Every time this kid is let loose, he knows EXACTLY where he's not allowed to go. They set him down, and every time he makes a mad DASH for the kitchen. I'm not kidding, but i think one time he actually faked his dad out and made the move one way, waited for him to look away and then made the run.

Something to look forward to.

funny part is, she's not really making these moves to drive any faster, she's just popping her head up from her phone call every once in awhile and making a decision on a lane change. No real reason for anything, just the kneejerk reaction of "oh, look! an open lane!"

So at least now she's behind me.

I take Leimeret to Vernon and turn right. She's a couple cars behind me at this point (still on the phone). She turns as well and ends up behind me at the intersection of Crenshaw and Vernon. I'm in front position in the right lane at the stoplight. She's directly behind me.

Now i gotta tell you this intersection is tricky. It really is... its not completely straight.

UPDATE TO IMAGE: pedestrians in yellow, dumb fucker in red

Vernon actually CURVES as it crosses Crenshaw!!!

Watch out, this is a really dangerous intersection!

Light is still red. I notice people standing on the corner directly in front of me in front of the starbucks.

light turns green... I start out, and successfully navigate the 15 degree turn through the intersection. ... well ... dumb fucker doesn't. She's still on the fuckin phone, and just hits the gas and noting else. I watch in amazement as in my rearview mirror she drives straight as an arrow directly into the corner. Lucky for every person standing there a few seconds before that they are now in the crosswalk crossing crenshaw out of the path of dumb fucker. She slams on her brakes, but only after she's slammed into the curb and smashed the shit out of her front bumper.

for a split second I was contemplating signaling, turning right at the next street, parking, grabbing my camera, running back a block and taking pictures. But, i was late for work.

At least nobody was hurt. I know for sure that if i saw a single person get hit on that sidewalk, that i would be parked and on the corner waiting to make a full statement to the police. DUI applies to ANYTHING that impairs your ability to drive an automobile. THAT INCLUDES A CELLPHONE!

I get up and hit USGS and look at the recent quake activity. It used to be that it took awhile for the information to post, but in this case it had only been 4 minutes, and the quake details were all up. Ends up it was really close, and shallow.

laughing my ass off...

Now who do we know who has committed acts of violence that have threatened the peace or stability of Iraq?

hmmmmmmm.

"Don’t worry. The gun is a Beta test model. It won’t launch for months and even then will be heavily bugged."

Thanks for the memories Ted...

Sorry to hear that you're nothing but a corrupt politician.
