CALIgula

Well, after a long hiatus, I'm back in the gym getting ready for summer......light cardio for now, trying to ease my way back in.

On a recent 5 and a half hour drive to l.a. a few months back, my girlfriend and I had Pandora radio set to the bill burr radio station (we saw bill burr perform here last summer)....tom segura kept coming on...i had heard some of his standup before and wasnt too impressed, but the stuff they were playing on the station was pretty hilarious and helped us pass the time ....a few weeks after returning from our trip we watched all of his stand up specials on netflix and we both agreed hes pretty funny...well, hes in town this weekend performing at the local comedy club, so we bought tickets for Saturday night's show...can't wait.

I still need to get around to reading the devil in the white city....i see people recommending that book everywhere. So, In the Garden of Beasts is about pre-WW2?...sounds like a good read..every time anything WW2 or Nazi germany comes on tv, I always end up watching it.

Honestly, for me I was more interested in the parts where she was discussing the historical aspects of the war (Churchill, D Day, the assassination attempt, etc) and how Jews were perceived and treated in the occupied countries. I was also interested in her views about nature (how being outdoors can cure ailments) and wanting to be something other than in a traditional female role of the times. It was also interesting what they ate to survive and how they were helped by Miep, Bep, and Kleiman and Kugler. But what I didn't really care for was the constant bashing of the others in the secret annex. It seems like she spent too much time either bitching about her mom, or Dussel, or Mrs. Van Dans. Also, talking about her love of Peter got repetitive. I understand it's the diary of a girl going from age 13 to 15, but certain passages were redundant and Otto Frank could have left them out, IMO.

Even though I knew what the story was about, I had never actually read Anne Frank's The Diary of a Young Girl. I picked it up in the thrift store a few years back and it was collecting dust. The history channel and american heroes channel were showing a couple documentaries about the life of anne frank, so i dvr'd them and then started to read the book first...just finished the book yesterday, and i watched one of the documentaries late last night.

^havent seen dope yet...i think its on netflix...i think i will check it out just for nostalgia sake....im pretty sure i was one of the first people in my city to wear cross colours lol

watched michael moores new movie: where to invade next found it interesting 5/5

speaking of mystery novels, has anyone read and then there were none by agatha christie?...its got good reviews on goodreads and amazon...all i know is that the orignial title was racist and when i read the synopsis it reminded me of the movie house on haunted hill.

ollie yes, but how you gonna kick flip if you aint got no legs to kick?

that grab is dope.

is that even the same girl?!

timbs are making a solid comeback

Last year mine was to read more and I did it! This year its to get back in shape and completely cut fast food out for the entire year...lets see if I can make this happen.

Isn't Silos from Sac? This thread is for san francisco...unless that was painted in the city.

how much did you pay for them? have you heard of Alejandro Ingelmo?

but in europe you guys dont drive as much right?...every time ive been to europe, ive noticed good public transit, short distances, trains, walking, bicycling etc. i live in california so the distances are far, so walking and bicycling are not as feasible.

no winners yet?
