Today I was working out of our Glendale office and I met Cary for lunch. We drove to Fatburger in Woodland Hills to have some good eats. The bad news is the fries were cold. The good news is the burger was great, and the shake was even better. Per tradition, there was a jukebox there — but this one was wall-mounted, had a touch screen, and it was FREE! So I tested it’s catalog and found it had a pretty wide variety of music. The first three songs I put in were songs I have never heard in a public jukebox before:
1. I Think I’m going Bald by Rush
2. Cross-eyed Mary by Jethro Tull
3. Joining a Fanclub by Jellyfish
That’s some jukebox!

Last night (Wednesday) I had a good Craig’s List experience. I’ve heard some horror stories about people selling/buying things on there so I figured I’d post about a good transaction. I’ve had the Canon 28-135 EF IS USM lens on my Amazon wishlist for about a year. With the Europe trip coming up I figured I shoudl go ahead and pull the trigger on it myself. The best deals were on used lenses, and Craig’s List had the best of the used prices. So for a mere $300 bones I was able to buy it from an amateur photographer in Westminster. Ironically, he purchased it just before his Honeymoon, also to London and Paris! He was a really nice guy, and the lens is awesome. Not only was he $40 under the lowest price I’d seen, but he also threw in a UV filter! Cool!

Some of you know that I recently took another job within my department at work. I went from a Project Manager role to being a Creative Lead. I can explain to you what that is in greater detail in person if you care (and assuming you’re someone I see in person). So in this new gig, which I’m enjoying a lot, I’ve got to spend one day a week up at our new Glendale office, even more while I’m in my transition to this new role. So I’ve been doing that whole 5 Freeway thing again. What fun!
In related news, they’re widening the 5 near the LA/Orange County line, not that it will help my commute to the North any, but it will help when I head to Anaheim on regular work days.
