GOOD MORNING L.A.! Monday, October 31, 2005 |
Ah, there's nothing better than getting in your car to go to work in the morning and watching a giant backhoe teeter on a pile of rubble only ten feet from your car.

WHO: Dennis Rodman
WHERE: Westside Plaza, Good Stuff
CELEB GRADE: B-
Ah, The Worm. How have you been? You look pretty good. I wasn't sure it was you at first because I didn't want to glare, but you have that unmistakeable voice. Remember when you were in Double Team with Van Damme? Man those were the days.
Anyway, sorry you decided to eat at Good Stuff on your way over to Silver Reign. I mean, that's why you were there right? You should have come into North End, the Knicks were on the TV. You probably would have liked it. Maybe next time.
Hope you had a good night, don't forget to wash your hands when you get home.
Your friend,
- Dave

DEAF Monday, October 24, 2005 |
After two concerts this weekend, I've decided to add the following to next year's "Things To Do" list.
1.) Learn to play the guitar. Thank you Dave Grohl.
2.) STOP ALL WOMEN OF THE AGES 30 AND OLDER FROM DANCING AT ROCK CONCERTS. That one is going to need a bigger, long term plan, but it MUST happen. I spent more time watching the train wrecks swaying and thrashing around us Saturday night that the actual concert. CONTROL YOUR BODIES.
LOST IS LOSING ME Sunday, October 23, 2005 |
Yeah...I said it. Right now, the only real mystery on the island to me is how suddenly, Kate got a man-body and found that HORRIBLE shirt. Blech, what is that? Who ever packed that top deserved to be sucked out of a plane at 30,000 feet.
And the press seems to be hammering Housewives pretty hard over their lackluster comeback. But what about Lost?
My biggest problem with the show right now is that I've completely lost track of what I'm not supposed to know yet. I can't remember what mysterious events/people/places/animals I'm even supposed to care about. To my knowledge, the only three mysteries that have been solved are the polar bear, what's in the hatch (even though that raised more questions), and who torched the raft.
Now, it's starting to lose me. The previews are mashed enough to make you think something is going to happen, then all that really happens is Sun finds her ring and we get to see some dirty feet walking in the jungle. And the "creature" hasn't been around since it almost ate Locke, and Charlie has heroin, and the french lady is still out there...[sigh] See what I mean? Give us SOMETHING. November is coming, so hopefully sweeps will have some better storylines.
Make it happen, J.J.

Happy birthday Connie!
CELEBRITY SIGHTING OF THE YEAR Monday, October 17, 2005 |
WHO: Billy Dee Williams
WHERE: Ralph's
CELEB GRADE: A+
Actually, this is Connie's sighting, but it's damn well worth sharing.
Connie had a rough day today. She slipped and fell down a flight of stairs in Santa Monica and got banged up pretty good. She left work early to stop at Ralph's for some extra ice packs and other pain relieving goods.
She calls me after her sighting, "Guess who I just saw?" Of course...I don't know. Then the words "Billy Dee Williams" come across the phone.
Game over, have a nice life.

Just a taste.
DID YOU JUST SAY, "DIESEL IT?" Wednesday, October 12, 2005 |
Tonight, I finally gave in to the less-than-constant nagging of Buckle to go indoor rock climbing at some place called Rocksplosion or Rocktastic or something.
Most of us know that exercise and Dave, while constantly discussed, usually doesn't venture outside of my Thursday night softball league (we're "Runs Like a Girl"). I figured, what the hell. Might as well do it once, entertain Buckle, and never do it again.
Well...that was wrong.
It was pretty awesome. And unfortunately I proved on several occasions that I'm wildly out of shape. I could sadly only climb up a couple of times, but I went down swinging. At one point, Buckle told me to "diesel it" to the next grip. Yeah..."diesel it." But there were some other people there, guys and girls, who were pretty ridiculous at doing it. Climbing upside down like monkeys, holding onto pieces that you just shouldn't be able to hold on to.
So now I'm considering joining Rocktacular...thanks a lot Buckle. I might as well sell my xBox. Oh, and he took some photos...can't wait.
[ UPDATE 8:59PM] BAM! Hunky photos from Buckle.

WHO: Danica McKellar
WHERE: FOX lot
CELEB GRADE: B+
Usually when I do my sightings, I don't count people I see on the lot. That's cheating. Even though once, it was Luke Perry and I really wanted to post about it. But it's still cheating.
Anyway, Danica is above and beyond that because she was Winnie Cooper. So for this ONE time, an exception is made for Danica. She was just eating lunch. Exciting, I know. But still...Danica McKellar. Aces.

CONSIDERING Monday, October 10, 2005 |
My warranty is up on my sweet 2000 Honda Accord come this November and I'm starting to look around for something new. Has anyone out there bought anything they're really happy with in the last few years? My requirements are pretty loose, but can probably only cost $30k at the most (and even that I'm sure Connie will disagree with).
ENDING AN ERA Tuesday, October 04, 2005 |
So after almost TEN YEARS of holding my stickbus screen name close to my heart, it's time to let her go. Not because I don't love her anymore, but because AOL is slowly sapping money out of the bank account JUST so I can hold onto that name.
As of this Friday night, October 8th, you can find me at my new screen name, davesliozis. Clever.
The account is active and will probably only be online during the day right now, so feel free to IM me and say hello just so you can add it to your buddy list.
Goodbye stickbus. You'll be fondly remembered.

AMAS DE CASA DESESPERADAS Sunday, October 02, 2005 |
While walking on the Promenade tonight, Buckle's roomie calls and says that Desperate Housewives is in Spanish. Buckle then tries to help her through their TV settings to turn off the SAP feature, figuring that was the problem. The call ended with him saying he'd be back soon and he'd fix it.
Hours later, we returned home and play 'Wives off the Tivo...and it's in Spanish.
So who screwed up? ABC or Adelphia? On top of that, this is the second major incident in a week. Earlier this week, half of LOST was lost due to a blackout. But again...cable or network?
And we're not alone. People all over SoCal seem to be having the same problemo.

Kyle, Sarah, Connie and myself headed out to the Arclight. Celeb sightings unraveled as follows:
WHO: Edward Herrman
WHERE: See above.
CELEB GRADE: B+
Herrman is a HUGE man, 6-foot-5, at least. We saw him first in the parking garage, then his towering head waiting in line to buy a ticket, then in front of us with his ticket. He was alone, which was kind of sad. We think he went to see Oliver Twist.
WHO: Arden Mytin
WHERE: See above.
CELEB GRADE: C-
She was walking down the stairs with some dude...not too exciting.
