My Day Off
Recently attended a Katy Perry concert downtown LA November 23, 2011. So it was necessary to take the entire day off from work. Earlier in the day I brought the old nineteen eighty three Fairmont to the smog test place and it passed. The new catalytic converter is holding up well, three years in. So I was tremendously relieved and happy before noon already. Nothing could possibly ruin my day after that.
Of course I had to shop for food, since the stores are closed today. Note to immigrants: Not all the stores are closed, the Azerbaijani store is still open and they are wondering where all the customers are? The food is good but there is no "Eat-or throw out" date on the packages.
The day moved along quickly so instead of making a lot of phone calls I simply dressed and fled the suburbs. Driving in on the I-10 going in to town was easy and skipped the 101. Laughed at everyone in the outbound traffic jam for twenty miles Nothing could possibly ruin my day after that.
My pictures of the concert came out blurry so I will have to wait for the "DVD" which I hope will be a real Smell-O-Vision DVD or Odor-Free Smell-O-Vision DVD, but it will probably be on bloo-rae disk instead.
My fave song was E.T. but the crowd sang along to most of the songs. The crowd sang flat. I hope that the crowd-singing-along-off-key music is mixed out from the DVD audio portion. Here is the big picture again in smaller resolution.
And smaller.
The crowd's fave from the DJ music was Foster The People, Pumped Up Kicks and the crowd sang along on key. The crowd sang along with the DJ music. The crowd sang so much that they got tired and sang flat of key, toward the end of the concert.

My Computer Upgrade
I tried to upgrade my computer using instructions from the hallowed electronic temple of the internet. Downloaded files from the sacred automatic updates web site, which didn't work. I had to downgrade my computer, to get back onto the internet again. This downgraded computer seems to be working just fine as proven if this blog post went out.
Later in the day I was talking with a friend about the "Occupy Madison Avenue" movement. Or "Occupy Google Plex". Should we protest on planet Alberran or planet Naboo? I don't own this picture and don't know where it came from.
Protest on planet Earth? No one will pay attention to that.
