Fall Is Here

it's raining outside right now.  in fact, it's been raining all day.  i kinda like it, it means fall has arrived.

sure LA's version of fall/winter means the "rainy season" but i don't mind a few weeks (or even a month or two) of occasionally wet weather.  it's a welcome change.  finally the oppressive summer heat makes way to cool days and even cooler nights.  if i'm lucky, in a couple of weeks i'll be wearing sweatshirts, hats, and scarves when i go out.

i also like the sound the rain makes.  the soft and steady tapping, drop after drop gently landing on the roof and against my windows, building to a crescendo of soothing percussion that is absolutely perfect to fall asleep (and sleep in) to.

and, of course, whenever it rains i can't help but hear this beginning to play in my head --

Terminator 2 Rap -- Coming Soon

remember those amazing predator and robocop raps from a few months back (unfortunately, the predator rap is no longer available online due to a copyright claim by fox)?  well, it seems the guys behind those are gearing up to release a new rap...for terminator 2!

the release date is Oct 19, and in the mean time they've put up a teaser.  suffice to say, i can't wait...

A Taste

a longer recap will be coming soon, but for now here's a short video from my trip last weekend to new orleans...more specifically, a street party on frenchmen street.
