I am going later to a metro meeting at headquarters to give some input on their draft of 25 year projected transit plan.? I really would like to see the subway extended to santa monica beach before I am dead! Otherwise, there are some successful lines like Orange busway, Gold Line to Pasadena, and the current Red line.? I am fond of transit, and wish they had more trains :)? I even considered driving a train or bus at one point.? Might be interesting right.

Fun History Lesson

today in 1999, Dr. Jack Kevorkian was convicted of second-degree murder for giving a lethal injection to an ailing man whose death was shown on “60 Minutes.”? This dude was infamous for killing a bunch of supposedly terminally ill people via lethal injection.? Just goes to show that anyone can get a doctor license :)?? Happy Birthday to celebs Diana Ross(64), Leonard Nimoy(77), James Caan(68), Vicki Lawrence(59), Martin Short(58), and TR Knight(35) whom I only saw once in person.

Born Yvette Marie Stevens in Illinois, I only saw her perform once.? Like so many other hollywood personalities, they go downhill quite quickly once they become famous.? It was in 2005 that she came to perform at Sunset Junction, a street event here in los angeles.? Well being a photographer, I wanted to get some pictures of her.? However, this mean bodyguard came out before she was to sing, and he said if he caught anyone with large-lens cameras (pro in other words) that he would break the camera.? I was like, that is wrong!? So, of course I was able to get a few photos despite the threats since if you know me, I am determined once I put my mind to a task.? And as you can see, poor Yvette looked like holy crap due to being fat and drugged out.? Hence that is why they did not want photos taken of her.? I feel sorry for her.? Poor beotch.? Nevertheless, I said to my friend Ken Knox who writes for a local magazine and quoted me at the time:? “If you do not wish to have your photo taken because you look like hell, do not go onto a stage in the middle of the street and perform, dumb ass!”

Missed the Board Meeting

I did not have the energy to go last night to the sisters board meeting and felt like I have participated enough in sister activities, the last one being sunday as you can see from prior post. I do plan on going to at least one or two events per month. I believe that they are finally maintaining a calendar of events so I can know where and when to go. I also have ability to instant message several of them if needed.
