Today I saw a documentary called Confessions of a Superhero that is about the people who stand in front of Mann's Chinese theater in Hollywood dressed up as Superheros and cartoon characters. Most of the documentary focused on a guy who dresses up as Superman, as he makes up to $600 a day from tips from people who take photos with him. The film is trying to get a wider release, so if it comes to a city near you, check it out.
Lately whenever I've been trying to find street parking downtown at night, there are homeless guys standing next to an empty spot waving to it. Which would be useful it it was actually hidden or hard to find, but it's pretty easy to find an empty spot on the side of the street when you're specifically looking for parking on the side of the street. And of course once you get out of the car they want a "tip" for what basically amounts to standing on the street corner, and you kinda wonder what might happen to your car if you don't give them at least a little something. This is why even after 8 years of driving, I still hate parking. And why I keep hoping Austin will one day get some light rail so I don't have to deal with it.
The reason I was downtown was to see She Wants Revenge (in a completely unrelated note, I like linking to Wikipedia because I feel that article will still be there in 5 years, where as most of the stuff on non-major websites disappears after a year or two) in concert, and it was a late show so I'm writing this after I got home at like 2:30 in the morning. Which I'm supposed to be up at 5AM so I can go walk 5 kilometers to support breast cancer research. This will be my first 5k ever, and I'm basically doing it because Freescale paid half my registration fee, it's for a good cause, and the real key: some of my friends are doing it too. Although re-reading my registration email just now, apparently I'm supposed to get my race packet from my team leader, whom I have no idea who that is. I'm also walking to the starting line, so the 5k is actually going to be more like a total of 10k by the time I get done walking from my apartment and back. On like 3 hours of sleep.
Well technically almost 4 hours since Daylight Savings Time ends, so the clocks "Fall back" an hour. I think they should just keep it like this all the time, no one wants to go home from work in the dark! Or at least I don't.
