Favorite Movie "Quote"...
Ok... i know it's kinda long to be a Quote Unquote "Quote"... but I love this quote...go ahead... read it in your best Brooklyn accent...
"No, there's more! You see? When the left tire mark goes up on the curb and the right tire mark stays flat and even? Well, the '64 Skylark had a solid rear axle, so when the left tire would go up on the curb, the right tire would tilt out and ride along its edge. But that didn't happen here. The tire mark stayed flat and even. This car had an independent rear suspension. Now, in the '60's, there were only two other cars made in America that had positraction, and independent rear suspension, and enough power to make these marks. One was the Corvette, which could never be confused with the Buick Skylark. The other had the same body length, height, width, weight, wheel base, and wheel track as the '64 Skylark, and that was the 1963 Pontiac Tempest. "

Cute Problem...
You know those websites like ask.com... well i found this guys question and just loved the idea of this man sitting down at his computer with this little problem...
"one day i passed a bakery store in a mall (which i visit frequently so i passed that bakery so many times) and i noticed that they've changed the name from 'bread story' to 'bread tales'. so when i met up with some friends and i told them (rather enthusiastically) that the bakery had changed its name. and they all looked at me like 'why are you telling us that?' or 'is that important?' is it not something you usually tell people? i have problems figuring out what to say sometimes so i figured i might say something that i saw earlier that day but it seemed like people don't like it."
It's such a cute problem...

2 Curlers...
My big sister and I are three years apart... when we were growing up she was kinda mean... i look back and think that I am a stronger person today because of how difficult she made my childhood at every possible turn....and i would thank her.
That doesn't keep me from blogging about the suffering she caused me 17 years later...
Please see a letter that i wrote to her asking a very simple favor...
(Celeste, May I please borrow 2 curlers just 2 curlers, that's right just just 2 curlers. I will give them back on 3-16-91. If they are not on your desk by 3:00 then I will owe you $5.00. Please consider it! Thanks, Nicolette P.S. you are absolutly right...just 2 curlers!)
then she said...
(That doesn't make any sense. Why would you give me $5.00 if the curlers weren't on my desk)

She then asked me to give her some reasons why she should let me borrow 2 curlers... see below...
(1. because I am your cute sister.
2. you have about 13 and i have 3.
3. because you love me
4. and because I am giving you stickers! by the way I am running out.)

No. I never received the curlers... in case you are wondering.

Same Same...?
One of my favorite things in the world doesn't have a name... it's when you hear a word and see the object itself at the same time... for instance you're in your car jammin out to Ace of Base "I Saw the Sign"... when as soon as she says the word "sign" you happen to look up and see a sign! or... you're jamming out to Dean Martin's "Thats Amore" and right when he says the word "moon" you happen to turn a corner and there it is... the moon...! it makes me feel like everything is perfect even just for an instant... but the crazy thing is... it doesn't have a name... deja vu gets a name why not this? I think it should be called "same same"... ?I don't know... do you have a better idea?...

Telephone Dial Tone...
My bass guitar teacher taught me last night that every dial tone in every phone is the key of A and the key of F together.... then proceeded to teach me how to tune my bass to any telephone... I was so excited to tell my bandmates this fun and useful fact when Rc burst my bubble with .... "but you don't have a land line".....
Thanks, Rc...
Thanks, Rc...

Crazy Tim...
The Movies are an extremely awesome local Silverlake band... The lead singer, Tim... is "kinda crazy" (that would be a direct quote from everyone that has ever met him).
Last night at the rock show he kicked off his shoes and emptied his pockets on the stage...

The keys, wallet, phone, and gum wrapper make sense... but is that a Jenga piece next to the lighter? and if so, why is Time carrying random jenga pieces in his pockets to the rock show??? crazy Tim....
