*Yikes the blog is coming to a slow death. I only blogged once in July :( sad stuff. July was a good and bad month - the good I got to see Tori Amos; the bad getting my 401K matching cut and getting mugged/robbed in Pasadena. (sigh)
*Apparently they are closing the Chalet, this ski lodge looking bar in Eagle Rock, to make it into an English pub. Darth, Pigern and I went the last weekend it was open and I guess I do not like vodka martinis much (all I wanted was the olives) because I got trashed. It was barf heaven for me. Darth was quite not impressed :)
*Been going to a few Dodger games. Too bad they are struggling and having a tough time. Only 46 more games and the regular season is over but I am wondering how far the Dodgers can go.
*Last Saturday I went to the Huntington Library with Pigern and a few of her buddies. I have not been there in ages so it was nice to walk around the gardens. The Chinese garden they created is pretty good. I mean not like the ones in China but you know it is decent.
*That same Saturday I went to the Ice House in Pasadena for my friend's surprise birthday party. It was my first time at a comedy club and I thought it was pretty good though I doubt I would go again. Our comedian was Bret Ernst and he had all of us laughing pretty hard.
*I'm pretty behind in my movies. To give you an idea around this same time in 2008 and 2007 I was already in the high 70's so I am about 20 behind :P

I hope the Dodgers can win the pennant this year, because watch out, next year is the Nationals' year!
Also, I wonder if they have any American Gardens in China? I think it could include palm trees and pine trees and they could sell fish sticks at the snack bar.
I agree Jim I hope the Dodgers can knock it out of the park but who knows. They are having a tough time now.
Ha ha what do you think an American Garden would look like?? I am curious about that. I think the palm trees would only look good in a Calif garden :P
I think a mix of palm and pine trees would be good. And amber waves of grain. Lots of amber waves of grain!
