February 26th, 2010
I’m fairly lax with my usage of the English language, butchering a sentence here, misspelling a word there, crapping on formality and pissing on good taste pretty much all over the place. Like just right there. It’s ok, my mom doesn’t object. My dad hasn’t complained either. Thus I can give some leeway in ill-used definitions of words, assuming you are not trying to be a dick by saying Echo Park is part of the Eastside. But even I have my limits.
Check out the Hollywood video on N. Broadway advertising their fabulous “Indoor Sidewalk Sale” which promises “DVD’S” (ha!) at 3 or 4 bucks each, give or take a penny. When the first Indoor swap meets came around, that was a stretch, but yeah, they kinda were. I was less tolerant of a big Yard Sale being held indoors, but maybe these people just didn’t know better. Now a major corporation advertises for a sidewalk sale, inside their store. Isn’t that just the same sale bin they always have inside? Come on now, just because some of us in LH aren’t so up on our English skills doesn’t mean you can play all loose with those words we keep meaning to learn. We ain’t that stupid.
Next yer gonna tell me about a restaurant serving street food indoors! Ha, ha! What? Oh, you mean yer serious?
I’m gonna try to remember to stop being shocked by how stupid shit is.
New LH Clock!
February 21st, 2010
Remember when some film production company destroyed our LH clock, way back in 2006? Well we finally have a replacement, and it only took about 4 years for that to happen. It’s similar to the original, but different. I was hoping they’d replace it with something modern, like a big LED display that flashes the time, and maybe some text messages we could send to it. Now that would be fun! But they kept with the old-timey theme instead. Oh well, at least its working!

Window Repair
February 6th, 2010
If you look closely you’ll see something odd about this car. There’s a long tradition in LH of people fixing up broken car windows with plastic bags and tape but this person took it to a new level, a temporary fix that looks almost perfect. They used some thick type of plastic sheet and cut it to size, and maybe some glue and tape to hold it on to the car. Not sure how its going to hold up to the water though.
This is quite an improvement on the old trash bag/duct tape technology and maybe they should set up some sort of Professional Mickey Mouse Job establishment for quality repairs on the cheap. Its what Lincoln Heights really needs.
Wiener Burritos
January 23rd, 2010
I got the inspiration to write down my Menudo process no doubt because of the paltry recipe I read in this book I borrowed from the East LA Library. One of the ingredients is listed as “chile sauce, canned or homemade” without any instruction on how to make said sauce. I love the book though, somebody took the time to write down their cooking process during the 70’s. But this following recipe was so hilarious I had to share it with you all.
