Carnival Day at LootCrate.

I’m now a supervisor at LootCrate, and yesterday we finished our monthly packing. There was a bit of a celebration…

Music Video Shoot, Tues 01/21/14.

Mike_Post_Video_Shoot_JAN2014

Was part of a friend’s music video shoot yesterday morning over in Echo Park for 7 AM. Small affair with friends both old & new, and extra nice as pretty much everybody there was already a fan of the band’s music. Good times & lots of fun. We were done by 10 AM.

Happy New Year…

11th-Hour Change to House Rules Enabled Government Shut-down?

Better than fiction: here’s one elected representative who (at least in this instance) is doing his job. . . Plus he even came prepared with some nice visual aids:

Late in the evening on September 30, 2013, the House Rules Committee Republicans changed the Rules of the House so that the ONLY Member allowed to call up the Senate's clean CR for a vote was Majority Leader Eric Cantor or his designee -- all but guaranteeing the government would shut down a few hours later and would stay shut down. Previously, any Member would have had the right to bring the CR up for a vote. Democracy has been suspended in the House of Representatives.

A Whale Chasing A Soviet Symbol (“Blue Jasmine”)

So I saw the new Woody Allen film last night, “Blue Jasmine” (trailer). Apparently, all you need to do afterward to make the movie emotional maelstrom make sense is walk into a restroom & see this graffiti…

…Afterwards, you’ll have something entirely different to think about.
