hello
Millies is still cool, but not like it was like 15 years ago. That Cuban bakery is no more. It became an Italian joint. Pioneer Market became Wallgreens....what a waste...

No Cuban bakery? I used to get those great mango/cream cheese pies there...I think that's what they were...(maybe guava/cc)?
And cappuccino for 65 cents...
I hope the Italian place is good at least....

They're opening a Pinkberry on Myrtle in downtown Monrovia - so no having to trek over to Old Town Pasadena for me.
Me loves a medium original with double mochi and strawberries.

Ewww....no way, lady. The largest, hairest men just hang out in that thing. Not going near it. I did do the tread climber for 1/2 hour and sweated up a storm followed by some jump roping and I decided to work my lower body with squats (on the smithy), etc. Then I drove home in this unbelievable downpour. 
Three cars had an accident on the 134 pretty much in front of me but I was driving like a grannie so I was able to stop and go around them. The streets over here are flooding.

Haven't seen it, but I did read the script. Holy crap. Grabs ya by the throat and doesn't let go. I was wrung out by the time I finished it (it kept me awake reading until 3 a.m.).
It's available online, but if you're planning to see the movie, it'd be a spoiler.

The violence is keeping me from going. I'm so squeamish. But I really do want to see how the bros. Coen had their way with the script.
The script reads as if it had been written by a cinematographer: very visually-oriented but without over-explaining the shots. Nice.

Yeah, even though I know it's fake, my mind still says, "But it could be real!"
The last violent flick I saw was "Sin City." I had to excuse myself a bunch of times to go out in the lobby and catch my breath and unclench my fists. I was surprised to see parents with young kids in the audience. Maybe they were confused by the concept of a comic book-themed movie?
Around that same time, I saw "Team America" in the theater. I was in the powder room after the film let out, and a little girl, maybe 10 years old, came into the sink area, singing the theme song..."America, [f-word] Yeah!" I LOL'd.

And Sin City was awesome.
A good movie without violence out now: Juno
It's about teen pregnancy, but not in the "Movie of the Week" style.

They're opening one in Hermosa, too. Strange location, though. It's on PCH in an area with almost no pedestrian traffic and little parking. One would think they'd put a shop like that closer to the Pier.

I haven't seen a movie in such a long time, I don't know what's out there anymore. I think I'll just watch my Netflix.

hello
Looks like we may not get much rain today, if any, in LA. I may just ride for some coffee with my favorite bike and mug later on.

Really? When I look on weather.com, it shows showers with a 90% chance of precipitation with breaks in between. Burbank says 80% chance of showers lessening later, then showers at night.
