that's mini Ft Fuji on the bottom left. It sure looks like a roof...
See the rainbow? It's above the dumpster. This house, I hear is going to be a swimming house or something like that. It's being built along with a swimming pool.
Paper Magazine released “the other Los Angeles” issue.I don’t know who these two are on the cover on sight, do you? But that’s not important. Everything was fine as I opened this in the mail. Who are you dudes, and why are you behind a window? It’s not jail although maybe the cover might make you want to put you hand against his in either a gruff, “I’m there for you holmes…” or maybe a soft, “I miss you……..” That aside, I look quite at the names, and I don’t recognize too many.Johnny Knoxville was at the top. But there I am. A surprise. So after I scan down to the bottom. I feel something weird. Poot! (Insert Higgins from Magnum PI’s voice) “O h m y GOD.”“The Hipsters Have Landed.” ahhhhh… Paper magazine… you folks have a weird sense of humor! Of all things… any other word. Really, anything. I spend half my day making fun of “hipsters!”Life is tough being a publisher. It’s all good nonetheless.

So remember the post about my old car? I donated it to the Little Tokyo Service Center. Basically what that means is, they get someone to pick up the car, tow it to a junk yard where they auction it off for cheap. I’m sure they split money with the LTSC and so on. I have no idea how much the cuts are, but for the amount of work the LTSC does for this, I’m sure it must be 50/50. I get some paper work, and it says something about $500 being a certain amount that the car was sold for. But really, it was confusing, it said something about them telling me later. I was confused. So I write them an email asking how much it sold for. Guess what? $200! That’s fucked up! So in reality, the LTSC probably got $100, and the car went to some dude who’s gonna fix it and sell it for a lot more. I’m sure a single seat was worth more. What about the windows or wind shield, or even the rear view mirrors? The full sized spare tire has to fetch at least a hundred. This once great car that still started up and sold for a whopping $200. Where are these auctions. Can I get a great car for $1000? I’m glad I took the freebie tools that came with the car. If I prorate those, they must be worth pennies.
