Hey!! Don't worry, everything is under control! We're just surreptitiously draining this gigantic lake over here!!

limehouse by the sea

The line of fog and sun today was right at Newport and Hospital Road. At 4 pm I drove into it at 40 mph and immediately the temperature dropped ten degrees and I was visiting a socked-in fishing village to get my neuroelectrics adjusted.

Two hours later, I'm in my car in the D's parking lot and this time the fog is inside my head, too.

The cake said "eat me" and the bottle said "drink me". Everything's been different since I did.

BUY STUFF FROM UC IRVINE

Salvage website has stuff the University is trying to unload. Good place to get an old van for $1000, a solid iron tank weight 1 ton for $1000, some USB cables, or a Coherent Enterprise Argon Ion Plasma Tube Laser! The last item almost works and is only $4500!

Area City Totally Like Manhattan Now

A reliable source has revealed to me the following facts about the Costa Mesa City Planning Commission:

1. The area around the Lab and Camp nouveau malls is now known as SOBECA for the "South on Bristol Entertainment, Culture, and Arts" district. I'm sorry if you just spewed your coffee. I'll wait a sec here while you mop up. Okay, ready? The website for this conceit is http://www.sobeca.net/ and you're welcome!
   
   
2. West 19th Street, home to numerous carnicerias, a lawnmower repair shop, a Smart & Final, one two rock 'n' roll bars, and a few good restaurants is now to be known as the "19 West District". I think this weekend I'll stop by Alejandro's drive through and hand out corsages and/or cummerbunds to the customers that say "19 West" on them in Swarowski Crystal.

holy fucking shit

I repeat, holy fucking shit: http://www.totallycrap.com/media/tunnelaccident/

1. The bus. THE BUS.
   
   
2. The car at the end with the ruptured tank.
   
   
3. The music. WTF is up with that music?
