~ despite the superstitions which surround today’s date, we retooled the los angeles.
~ another beautiful los angeles saturday has been spent indoors, this time all we have to show for it is a new folio section. a couple of details are still demanding to be worked out, but that is not really news….
~ fall has arrived in los angeles. it’s freezing outside; the temperature is somewhere in the 70’s. now, the neighbors seem to have made a regular procedure out of breaking into the windows of their house. every time they arrive home, they sneak down the alley and rip the bars off the wall and crawl into the window. if i was on speaking terms with them, i would tell them about the keys and doors that i use.
~ having returned to my native soil has enabled remarkable progress to the forthcoming releases by the angry red planet zine department. previous ‘coming soon…’ promises expect to be fulfilled by the 13th of the coming october, which is, coincidentally, a friday.
~ the angry red planet has been doing more than just churning out obsolete technology, though. research has continued in the motion picture department: ‘wargames’, ‘tron’, and ‘space cowboys’
~ cnn.com reports that more than a few reporters are upset with the treatment that they received at the hands of the los angeles police department. some technicians and photographers were shot in the back with rubber bullets and bruised in the ribs by billyclubs; these incidents occurred as the cops were trying to shoot protesters in the back with rubber bullets and bruise the protesters’ ribs with billyclubs.
~ it’s as hot as a mug in los angeles today, but the heat could not stop us from posting a few more specimens to the dingbat scene report.
~ what is the deal with spider-man’s current scripters? parker’s wife died six freaking months ago, and the still have him moping around and pretending that she is just being hidden from him. why he has not gotten back out there swinging, so to speak, with the likes of the the black cat, glory grant, or jill stacy is incomprehensible. if we have to read one more panel of his belly-aching over the fact that all those close to him are destroyed…..
~ don’t let it be said that the angry red planet has never boosted los angeles.

~ first we get another citizen beaten by police in philadelphia, and now the u.s. government has just been cleared of its guilt for the waco massacre [cnn] & [l.a.times]. just two more reasons to set it off in los angeles next month…
~ the angry red planet is back after a four-day ‘holiday’ spent entertaining guests from no.cal. yesterday was, of course, ‘independence day’ in the united states, so the angry red planet packed the car with water and headed out of los angeles and into 1,000 palms in the california desert. without notice to the angry red planet, the refuge we sought is closed for july and august. so, we turned back and wasted a total of $28 on mel gibson movies…
~ there is a new skywriter in los angeles.
~ in celebration of the grand opening of a few stops on its ‘red line’, the los angeles m.t.a. was gracious enough to let the citizens ride the red line for free. the angry red planet was there, ready to document every stop. after the first two stops, however, the frustration of being pushed around by the m.t.a. staff who assume that only imbeciles would show up for the train rides was enough to turn us away from the metro. i wonder what they expect people to do in the future, when they are not there to ‘help’ people exit the train or walk up the steps.
~ either the folks in the neighborhood are getting an early start on the fourth of july festivities, or a gang war has erupted. for the past three days, pistol shots have rung in the distance about every half hour. while the small arms fire is of little immediate concern, the shotguns which are now being fired in the street by the angry red offices are becoming unnerving. all the freaking cops must still be busy keeping people from breaking in line at the metro stops, though, for the ghetto birds have not been watching the scene.
~ red line.
