LA obviously has good film options, and the <a href=\"http:\/\/arclightcinemas.com\">Arclight<\/a> is probably my favorite theatre in the country.  Every few weeks they show a movie and then have the director or someone else involved in the production answer questions afterwards, and so Audrey and I caught a showing of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt0385056\/\">Lonesome Jim<\/a> and then listened to Steve Buscemi and three members of the cast answer questions.  Unbeknownst to us, the other perk at these showings is free drinks and appetizers, so for $9.75 we saw a movie, listened to one of the weirdest character actors in cinema history, and then joined the cast across the street for drinks.<\/p>\n<p>A week prior to seeing Steve Buscemi we went out for drinks with one of Audrey&#8217;s old friends who had done some recurring TV work.  I love repeating old lines from movies and such, mostly because I&#8217;m not funny enough to come up with original material, but it&#8217;s way cooler hearing the actual actor fake like he was smoking and then deliver a line like &#8220;Oh dark mother, once again I suckle at your smokey teat.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>And for anyone who&#8217;s never seen a bulldog ride a skateboard, check out <a href=\"http:\/\/www.skateboardingbulldog.com\/\">Tyson, the Skateboarding Bulldog<\/a>, originally discovered by <a href=\"http:\/\/myspace.com\/bigholliday\">Aaron<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.skateboardingbulldog.com\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Tyson the Skateboarding Bulldog\" class=\"img-main\" height=\"380\" src=\"http:\/\/www.skateboardingbulldog.com\/tyskate3.jpg\" width=\"475\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"caption\">Skateboarding in Huntington Beach, taken from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.skateboardingbulldog.com\/tyskate3.jpg\">skateboardingbulldog.com<\/a>.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Not much excitement recently.
