Managed to slip into the Diesel jeans party last night just in time for Girl Talk's set. King of the mashup, Girl Talk (real name Gregg Gillis) sets up his laptop, invites onstage as much of the crowd as can fit and hits the "enter" key.

A couple of weeks ago, this infernal blog reported on G. Wayne Eggleston, the San Clemente councilmember who memorably told Los Angeles Times reporter Garrett Therolf, "I wouldn't want to stop in Stanton, much less patrol it," claimed he was misquoted and then told OCBlog readers to "not co-operate ...

The Orange County Fire Authority reports that the Santiago blaze is now 75 percent contained.

Sheriff Mike Carona's two-month-long, taxpayer-supported leave of absence came to an end today--apparently, he and his Little Sheriff (and no, we don't mean puppet-in-charge Jo Ann Galisky, who subbed while Mikey-Mike was off supposedly preparing for his June trial) are back on the job. Kinda sorta- ... More >>
They're kind of cheesy, but some of the questions in Quizland.com's Rock Trivia and Yetanotherdot.com's '80s Lyrics Quiz are actually rather stumpifying. Such as: What act holds the record for most #2 records without ever hitting #1? Ummm.... The Carpenters? Nope. and what "don't feel like it shou ... More >>

This morning I went to my local LA Times news stand to put in a couple of quarters and obtain a 'lil slice of history for my scrap book.
