ladies and gentlemen, the newly improved Homicide Report

hey eric ulken, now fancy guest lecturer in vancouver bc, what do you think?

me, all i gotta say is holy mackeral, not only is the blog tremendous, but the map is so searchable and so flexible with so many ways to cross-reference… miraculous. major props to Sarah Ardalani, Megan Garvey, Thomas Suh Lauder, Maloy Moore, Anthony Pesce, Ken Schwencke, Ben Welsh. as well as Ruben Viles for taking the torch from Jill Leovy who started it all.

heres a companion story that explains something only the map could have revealed about a certain section of south central

and heres to one day never needing such a resource.

its never funny when a website gets hacked.

especially if its techcrunch.

and its a good thing newts aspiration isnt predicting football games,

just predicting Everything else.

i predict im going to drink a cold beer right now.

thats right, the sister of the hottest babe in all of oklahoma has now joined the mobile internets.

@lahuffaker

why do i care? i’ll tell you why. not only has the busblog had a beautiful relationship with the okie ladies since before time began (aka 2002)

but it was Lauren fictionally killing me that lead to what was the best parts of “How To Blog” and the best parts of that turned into “Stiff”

so i owe lil pony lots. so go tweet her or friend her or follow her or whatever you kids do now with people who are suddenly on Twitter. kthnxbi

update: i am being told that Kristin is tweeting too.

@krittens

not many tweets since she started, but now that she has someone to retweet, maybe we will see an increase in her production. developing…

and i think the first thing i need to do is lay off eating sushi more than twice a month. youd think raw fish would be cheaper than cooked, since they aint gotta cook it but nope. they charge way more.

other thing i gotta do is make my own lunch. some how the $5 footlong turns into $10 lunch and thats the cheapest meal you can get here in downtown LA.

other thing i gotta do is cook a meal or two at night for my self. its crazy how i turn into the worst man when i get home: im lazy, slobby, worthless.

i havent used my george foreman in years. nor my real bbq. who am i any more?

saw Legion this weekend. pretty great.

truest calls it “an A+ b-movie.”

im going to be involved in some fairly revolutionary history this week

so forgive me if i become a little distracted here.

i still find you sexy. as all hell.

but this week is special.

so hold tight.

sorry to see favre retire in that way

but it seems like the saints were a team of destiny.

who i really feel bad for is adrian peterson. and not just cuz he has a girls name.

running backs really dont have much of a longevity and hes a special player.

and next year if favre doesnt return, what miracle qb is going to lead the vikes past, say, da bears?

indeed, if i was peterson, id make my way down to chicago. thats what id do.

just saw this during the saints / favre game.

once again unicorns providing the funny.

to see what survived

saw this coyote strolling around griffith park

i was all, yo! but he pretended to ignore me

finally i got his attention and was all get lost fluffy

and he peaced out
