I poked my head into the Lawrence Saks trial still underway at the federal courthouse in downtown Los Angeles today. On the stand was a Torrance woman who said she went to Saks for a tummy tuck and breast augmentation in 2007.

Looks like Rep. Laura Richardson is embracing social media. Her new Twitter handle, effective yesterday, is CLRintheHouse. Her first few posts came from the floor debate on health care, and so far it looks like she's willing to throw some partisan elbows:Even they (the Republicans) aren't buying it or interested. They are looking around and they are bored. They realize ...

Galaxy 1 Chivas USA 0 Chivas ch-ch-chokes (again) Galaxy advance to play Houston at 8 p.m. Friday in Carson. Dema Kovalenko made a crude gesture as the final whistle blew toward the Chivas USA bench as if to say, "we screwed you again." Chivas USA Coach Preki blew his top and tried to get to Kovalenko. That's a league fine ...

Galaxy 0 Chivas USA 0 The Galaxy have had the better of this game so far and by all rights should be leading. A 25-yard Chris Klein volley from a Landon Donovan cross in the 35th minute was perhaps the best Galaxy chance, requiring as it did an agile punch by Chivas USA goalkeeper Zach Thornton to send it over ...

Well, my laptop just died so I'm depending on the kindness of coworkers here to blog (sporadically).

But not without plenty of angst.I somehow missed the "spacial" understanding and abilities when it comes to putting things together (in other words, the problem is me). Suffice it to say, it's a good thing I didn't go into architecture and building houses for people. But after some 2-3 hours, I finally got Annie Oakley's cat tree assembled tonight. Her house ...
