Walking in Reseda, nobody walks in Reseda

WEB FIND: L.A.-based photoblog Walking In L.A. has never walked in Reseda:

Your keyword(s), reseda, appeared on the following pages:
Sorry, No Pages Were Found With Your Keyword(s).

But if blogger Neil Hopper had, it would have looked much like this in parts, and some parts much better.

Blog's name is a reference to the song "Walking In L.A." by Missing Persons.

It's a given name

WHAT'S IN A NAME: Local Christmas tree recycling efforts have concluded. As they have in Decatur, Georgia, where Reseda Johnson is the local recycling coordinator -- so says Emory Chase Condominiums group.

Speaking of that, this: It's an asteroid.
It's a fragrance.
It's a shoe.
It's an ink.
It's a pollen speck.

Tangled web

MYSTERY: In a solitary post, on a blog seemingly catalyst by the situation he posts about, Angel tells a tale that picks up at ... well, he should say:

Oh yeah I forgot to tell you that I am also a hyper-sensitive person and now what that means if you mean me harm or good it does not matter I feel it , kind of a sence really.

Anyway the last time I filed a complaint against my manager NICOLE THE DRUNK, when I was riding my bicycle home from my martial arts workout (KUNG FOO SAN SOO RESEDA) I all of a sudden felt that NICOLE THE DRUNK had been in my apartment.

You see I all of a sudden I just know that she was there and for the rest of my almost 10 mile ride I can not wait to get home as I am certain that something really bad had been done and NICOLE THE DRUNK was behind it.

So when I got home I could smell gas eminating from my apartment from at least 6' or so from the door(still closed) GASS.

Story suggests a murder attempt. It's the only post. He seems to be fond of roma tomatoes too.

Local girl makes TV and movies

Ex-RESEDA: Lisa Bonet, one-time Reseda High student, had a pivotal role in "Enemy of the State" -- which TV-now.com says is on TV tomorrow (links to month-by-month TV schedule) at 8pm on ABC.

Known for "The Cosby Show" and "A Different World," the actress was smokin' in the notorious "Angel Heart" (a + review and a - review) and "High Fidelity" which annoyingly ignores her smokin' version of Peter Frampton's "Baby I Love Your Way" on the movie soundtrack.

All I wanted to hear was Lisa Bonet's cover Of Baby, I love your way! How can you leave out a such an important part of the story. Soundtracks are to leave an impression of the movie... Good samples... but I wanted more.

Her "Hot" photo in Rolling Stone, that was smokin' too.

Next up: "Whitepaddy."

Reseda Theater update

NEIGHBORHOOD COUNCIL: ResedaCouncil.org, with its Flash 7.0 mandatory requirement and its unlinkable text, says the Reseda Neighborhood Council meeting tonight at 7p.m. at Canoas will contain a Community Redevelopment Agency update on the Reseda Theater.

Meeting is tonight instead of Monday because of MLK Day.

Local boy Amazons good

WEB FIND: Resedan adgblue (Armen D. Grigorian) has written, as of this writing, 35 reviews for Amazon.com.

I love books, music, art, and anything with any aesthetic charm!

Which includes Guns'N'Roses. In his review (from Jan. 3, 06) he relates:

About a couple of years ago, I was lucky enough to meet Axl by chance at a cigar shop in Santa Monica, CA. Long story short, I had a two hour conversation with him about music, G'n'R, about his new music, other musicians and much more. I found him to be extremely knowledgeable about musical instruments, music in general and about anything that we talked about. Axl was down to earth, intelligent and very cool - nothing like what the media has portrayed him to be. I got to ask him the questions that I wanted to know and I will never forget our conversation.

Previously with Axl.

Long way

MAKING THE MEDIA: By way of the Washington Examiner, an Associated Press photo captured a Resedan to illustrate a "day after Christmas" feature from the Vietnam Veterans Memorial.

Long day

CULTURE: That Tom Petty song, with the "freeway runnin' through the yard..." It's texure for the day today at My So Called Life in New York City and it's song of the day, yesterday at Who I Am ... Hates Who I've Been from Wisconsin and the day before at As Told By Moi. Moi being Lena from "somewhere in California." About Lena: "The Beatles, Ben Harper, Billie Holiday, Bonnie Summerville (?), Beastie Boys," are the first five of a list a few dozen names long that's just as diverse, but doesn't include Mr. Heartbreakers himself..

Allmusic.com tells the story of "Free Fallin"

Tom Petty takes on yet another one of his small-town, slice-of-America stories. As for the melody, it was producer Jeff Lynne ...
Petty claims in his liner notes to the box set Playback that this is yet another one of his songs with lyrics that fell out in a tumbling, stream-of-consciousness first take. ... Petty relates a story about the lyric, "the vampires walking through the valley": Axl Rose asked him, "Where did you get that line about the vampires in the valley? When I'm driving I sometimes see these shadowy-looking people just off the sidewalks." Petty didn't offer up an answer. ... a high-rotation video on MTV that captured the free-spiritedness of adolescent life depicted by kids on a skate ramp, ...

Weather outside: Delightful

PICTURE PERFECT: Note the date, and the sky, in the photo on Currently This by blogger Transient. That's Dec. 28 with skyblue skies, looking north from the drive-thru of a curiously renowned Starbucks. For reasons that aren't exactly obvious, post is an excuse to rag on Parking Enforcement Officers, who get no respect anywhere:

A Toronto man is facing charges in connection with an attack on a parking enforcement officer. Police say the officer was writing tickets when a man approached him from behind and pushed him. The man then grabbed the officer's hat and fled on foot.

Being none too swift, other officers witnessed it and caught the 25-year-old.

::: Ed. note--- Though at this writing, it's the day after a perfect day after a rainy Jan. 2nd Rose Parade. Mid 70s dry blustering weather, air crisp like celery and as refreshing as a summer swim. Those readers from elsewhere (Toronto for example: "Morn 3°C, Aft 4°C, Eve 3°C" --does not include wind chill factor), sorry. :::

Previously: That Starbucks, though the only working link referring to the "incident" puts it in Northridge.

Demon misses deadline

TV'S A MEDIUM NOT A MEDIUM: Ya want predictions, go to Nostradamus (The exit from Paris quatrain, 9-20, for example). Fansite named Trinity of Iniquity provides the proof that TV's no good for prophesy. Trinity's focus of inquiry is the TV series "Angel" (A "Buffy" spinoff which itself was a huge movie adaptation ::: Ed. note--- "M*A*S*H" notwithstanding, it's not a long list::).

Angel and Wesley are researching demons, and:

Wesley: Here's something.
Angel: What is it?
Wesley: The beast of Amalfif, a razor-toothed, six-eyed harbinger of death. No, wait. That's due to arise in 2003, in Reseda.
Angel: I would have guessed, Tarzana.

Why's everyone bagging on Tarzana?
