culpepper will miss the remainder of the season, pretty much guaranteeing that the rest of the season is going to be exceptionally painful to watch. i’m so glad i sprung for the sunday ticket package now.

i may have to rethink my policy of not starting to drink until after half time.

here’s yet another group looking to train some docents in the downtown area: las angelitas del pueblo begins their docent training in february. they give free walking tours of el pueblo de los angeles, otherwise known as where this little city was founded.

but that brings another thing to mind — i should go check out the dia de los muertes happenings down in that area tomorrow (or wednesday).

antirsi is a nice little application that sits in the mac os x dock and bothers you every so often to take short typing breaks and longer get-away-from-the-computer breaks. i’ve never had serious wrist problems, and i don’t really expect to have any since i am not much of a crank-code-out sort of programmer. i started using it to remind me to get up and give my back a break.

l.a. works has started a blog they’re calling l.a. works hotline, where you can find announcements of various upcoming volunteering opportunities and other news about the organization.

there really wasn’t a whole lot going on in the olvera street area during lunchtime, but there were a bunch of memorials set up in the square there, so here’s a photoset of most of them.

i also stumbled upon another fountain in the los angeles city mall that i had missed before, and another nearby that appears to be under repair.

also, two fountains that were turned off when i last grabbed pictures of them.
