Sofa of the Month Club

I look into this sofa and I see 1996. Above it hangs a poster of 2 angels in an Aaron Brothers black metal frame. Beside it, a matching $18 halogen floor lamp points to the ceiling. There are no pets in this home but there is one child. There was a plan with the burgundy and hunter green stripes. It was all part of a vision. There was a theme. “I saw this thing at Pier One,” she said “it’s all going to come together.” It never came together and has now come to an end—on my corner.

Locks of Love

Sunday, May 27th, 2007

So one day I noticed that I had turned into Cousin It from the Addams Family—well, a blond version anyway. I had long hair before Gabe and I started Neoganda but in the year and a half of hard work I just never made it to Supercuts.

So the time had come. Back in season one of Queer Eye, the only good season, a lot of the “project guys” had long hair and they would chop it and donate it to Locks of Love. Now was my chance to do something with this hair besides tie it in a crazy looking knot behind my head.

WHAT IS LOCKS OF LOVE?

Locks of Love is a public non-profit organization that provides hairpieces to financially disadvantaged children under age 18 suffering from long-term medical hair loss from any diagnosis. We meet a unique need for children by using donated hair to create the highest quality hair prosthetics. Most of the children helped by Locks of Love have lost their hair due to a medical condition called alopecia areata, which has no known cause or cure. The prostheses we provide help to restore their self-esteem and their confidence, enabling them to face the world and their peers.

Here’s the before and After photos. I feel so much better to get all that off me and it’s nice to know that it’ll help someone out. Hooray, I did something good!

I bought a Mac with close to Eddie Izzard

Edward John “Eddie” Izzard (born February 7, 1962) is an English stand-up comedian and actor, known for his cross-dressing. His comedic style is expressed in rambling, surreal monologue and self-referential pantomime. In addition to touring, he is also a television, stage and film actor, and is active in charity work.

I saw this dude on cable and he was really funny. Very original. The transvestite shtick makes no sense and seems to have nothing to do with his show. I guess early in his carrer it helped him stand out for the pack. Maybe he was just working out his issues. Maybe it’s just an English thing (see photo below). Whatever is going on with him I’m sure he’s huge in the Mid-West.

We got birds!

Tuesday, May 22nd, 2007

I had to pull a nest of little birds out of our air conditioning today. All that cheeping was getting to everyone in the office. I put bags on my hands as Producer Ricky said that the parent don’t like the smell of people on thier babies or the nest. Anyway, they (4) ended up in a box on the roof kind of tucked away. I hope they make it. I’ll check back…

UPDATE:

This morning, May 23rd, I when up to the roof to see how the little guys were doing and they we’re gone. The nest was still there but the 4 birds are gone. So I guess they got carried away by the parents. Nice.

IN OTHER NEWS:

Oh, we also got a couple plants.

Parolee threatens to blow up Van Nuys apartment before surrendering

Parolee threatens to blow up Van Nuys apartment before surrendering

VAN NUYS - A 36-year-old parolee holed himself up in his apartment last night and threatened to blow up the building by turning on the gas, forcing the evacuation of 100 neighbors and the shutdown of a stretch of Sepulveda Boulevard, before crisis negotiators talked him into
surrendering, police said. The drama began about 8 last night when police responded to a call of a domestic dispute in the
7300 block of Sepulveda Boulevard. When officers arrived, they said Mark Nevarez barricaded himself inside his apartment, threatened to shoot police and blow up his apartment — at one point even turning on the natural gas on the stove.

“Suddenly the boyfriend barricaded himself in his apartment and he wouldn’t come out,” said Los Angeles Police Lt. Robert Davis, a watch commander at the Van Nuys Division. “He said something about having guns, that he would shoot the officers if they entered. Within the hour this thing kinda started to go downhill. He did threaten to blow the building up by turning on the gas in the apartment. So the gas was shut off for the entire building.”

Police evacuated about 100 residents as a precaution and a stretch of Sepulveda was temporarily shut down. No one else was inside the suspect’s apartment at the time.

Officers from the elite Metro unit were called in and over six hours negotiated his surrender. After six hours, crisis negotiators were able to talk him out and the incident ended peacefully at 2:30 a.m., police said. He was booked into the Los Angeles County Jail for violating parole. Details of his criminal history were not immediately available. Nevarez is on parole and has a long list of felony convictions, Davis said.

The evacuated residents were able to return to their apartments at about 3 a.m. But the gas remained off overnight and into the early morning until it could be turned back on when the Gas Company can have access to each of the 36 apartments, Davis said.

Look at the cute Doberman Poodle!

Are you sick of people looking at your breed of dog in fear because politicians and the media are saying things like;

“We want to breed these dogs out of existence,”

“They are killing machines on a leash.”

“These breeds don’t belong in our community”

Well worry no longer, attackchi will be making disguises for all the so called ‘dangerous breeds’.

Now you can go to the park with your kids and your dog (like you have been doing for years), without the worry of people thinking you are a bad parent.
