Back in filthy, stinking LA

Back in filthy, stinking LA

Well, I'm back home in Los Angeles again. Whoo. Whoo...

When I was hanging out waiting for my luggage to come off the conveyor belt--a healthy 45 minute wait, I might add--a gentleman approached me. He complimented my hairstyle (what hairstyle, I ask?) and thrust a Way to Transcendence manual at me. First of all, complimenting me isn't going to make me change religions in most cases. Second of all, it would've been a better idea if he'd given me the manual before I was in LAX and annoyed with my tardy luggage. For future reference: if you're going to try and convert me, do it when it seems like I'm not preoccupied. I also don't think LAX's environment is conducive to attaining enlightenment.

On a different note, I've got some fun Internet stuff I found via reference and high-praise from my friend Zach. First is a short-film entitled A Ninja Pays Half My Rent, which you can watch here. It's a film that argues that ninjas--despite being trained assassins--make fine roommates. Another site with more content is called Mega 64. Its goal is to bring videogames into reality, Jackass-style. From the ones I've watched, I think the Metal Gear Solid one is my favorite. Solid Snake just has a one-track mind. Then again, there's a great deal to be said for the Shenmue episode. "Do you know where I can find some sailors around here?"
