He said, “Let me tell you how it is with me..”
“…I’m the kind of person who…”
I tuned out.
“When x happens, I y…”
I tuned out yet again. Until I realized he had stopped talking about himself long enough to feign interest in myself. Yes, he made an inquiry:
“So describe yourself.”
I guess it was my turn.
I wouldn’t [...]

The thing about Los Angeles is, it can be 80 degrees in the day but at night, you’ll still be wishing you had a sweater, jacket or wrap. The reason for this I’ve always thought was, since we’re essentially in the dessert, there exists so little moisture that the heat from the day doesn’t stay [...]
…don’t use that rare chance to communicate with me just to tell me that I “have odd taste in music.”
Unique taste, maybe.
Dark taste, maybe.
Good taste, MAYBE.
But not odd. I mean, maybe it’s not inherently clear that since I am broadcasting over Adium what track I am playing at the moment, it’s an expression of my [...]
For the non-Californians out there, July 1st was the first day it became illegal to put a cell phone to your ear while driving. Sure, you can still look down at your phone and text. You can still scrutinize the screen of your phone and use GPS if you have it. (Heck, I still do [...]

And you know, with the advent of my admission to 9rules, it’s that time when I relate Louis Vuitton-branded SUVs to blogging. So yes, I’m going there.
You can learn a lot from Louis Vuitton SUVs.
I was on my way to my therapist’s office yesterday for one of those all-revealing, heart-wrenching sessions when I saw an M6 turning left. It looked like my coworker’s car.
I looked as I passed and sure enough, it was him – complete with yarmulka covering half his head. He was the same coworker who had [...]

Only in some circumstances is there a time and a place. The sporting of sunglasses is not one of them.
You’ve undoubtedly seen young gentlemen and young women wear sunglasses all hours of the day as if they never go out of style. I won’t lie–it’s rampant around here.
And sometimes it looks kind of ridiculous. [...]
In the Midwest, when someone mentions tailgating you would be inclined to assume the type where sports fanatics socialize before games and have good times with beer, bratwurst, ribs and perhaps chicken with the SUV trunks popped in the stadium parking lot. Let me start off by saying that I reside in Los Angeles, [...]
The bossy is having a fit today. Everything with the accounts is fine. No client complaints are rolling in. He had already done his business for the day.
