occassionally wed have breakfast at the end of our block at the 24 hour diner Dolores.
afterwards id say why did we just spend $20 on eggs and bacon?
and in a perfect example of time heals all wounds (or distorts the truth), last night we were planning on having dinner and seeing a movie.
unfortunately there was a bloggy emergency at the lat and we werent able to leave the house until 9:30pm. and as much as i love LA, i gotta give it up to NYC for being able to have a nice meal at pretty much any hour. same cant be said for the 323.
so as we drove down sunset i said, how about Dolores – you could get breakfast… who doesnt like breakfast for dinner?
as we made it to the 405 i was thinking about liver and bacon. when we got to dolores in west la, we immedately noticed how they had redecorated the place. still looked like a 60s denny’s-esque diner, but they had painted the walls yellow-orange and put up all these framed posters and shelve-filler that it looked like a furniture store, except with tables.
the food appeared to have gone through an anti-flavor machine. my salmon ($16.75) looked like fish vampire had sunk its fangs into the small portions and sucked all the life out of it.
even the mashed potatoes felt like they had just suffered a heart attack.
and somehow the well-done hash browns became extra greasy.
our waitress was great and she told us that the new owners had done the redecorating about a year ago and there was still a little left to do. we were happy that they hadnt messed with the extra large muffins.
but we hope the next renovation will be with the menu.

who utilized web cams
it wasnt a live streaming cam show like it eventually became,
most of these people would just snap a still image from their web cam and have that update on the blog.
usually it was a little box, like the picture above.
i had done photo essays using some of their cam stills in the past when talking about halloween or when one of the cam girls was signing off forever, so i knew to just go on the web and let the pictures tell the story.
one of the little stories that this photo essay captures was that sometime on the day of 9/11 there became this buzz that everyone needs to donate blood. why that? weren’t all the people dead? i dont remember what the hoopla was about, but it was there.
the busblog started a month before 9/11. its fascinating and unbelievable to think about what has happened in my life since that day – all the joy and pain and huge successes.
which is why its equally mindblowing that a city like new york hasn’t totally rebuilt ground zero by now, and its totally disappointing that a country like the usa hasnt been able to get osama by now.
the reward for getting osama is $27 million. but maybe it should be something else. somethng like how the Make a Wish foundation works. clearly $27 million isnt enough, so maybe offer something priceless: like a weekend as a guest at the playboy mansion, followed by a trip into space on the space shuttle.
if valentines day is about thinking about love all day, and if Christmas is about thinking about holy stuff all day, maybe 9/11 should be about figuring out ways to catch osama bin laden.
theres nothing worse than unfinished business.

everything worked out

i even got rihanna the biggest R necklace youve ever seen
did you know that there are over 250 places in LA where you can legally buy medical marijuana?
you do? ok then smarty pants do you know where they all are?
thanks to our Cool Kids department who adore databases and google maps and strange trends, we now have the most accurate map of where all the dispensaries are.
the times they are a-changing.
strangely enough, in the land of the free, youre really not supposed to do that
and in an interesting way, after the republican congressman called the president a liar he apologized for blurting out, but didnt really say that hes backing down from his assertion that illegal immigrants would also get free healthcare.
i wrote a Comments Blog post about it at the times, it will be interesting to see what people say.
but heres my gripe: msnbc didnt broadcast it in HD. get it together socialists.
across from the olde spaghetti factory i went to the Vons and saw this looking at me

i know people need to sell magazines. people need to sell everything these days: cars, real estate, gold, newspaper subscriptions, reality shows, movie tickets, high fashion, clams, etc
but far as i know theres only two ways to be a racist: your family being ig’nant, or your friends being racist and your parents dont beat your ass when you bring that ish home.
i suppose i should go read the article to see if theyre proposing the theory that we are born with such tendencies but if thats the case it would mean that in huge families like jon and kate plus 8 that one of those lil angels would turn into david duke!
my guess is the cover is probably more interesting than the story, but now im being just as bad as others.
perhaps im a coverist!
fine i will buy it tomorrow when i go get some naked juice.
my truest got sick off the clams.
good thing i didnt eat any.
is still better than you
thanks innernet
