Random: I take pictures

[zrath]

I walk around.
I see things.
I take pictures.
I post them.

This is a new feature I call "Random".
Every day, I will post a cellphone picture I took.
It will always be a picture taken with my Amp'd Motorola RAZR.
Sometimes, I'll talk about where I took the picture and what it is.
Sometimes, I won't.

Today's picture:



Taken last night at Sepulveda and Venice in Culver City/Mar Vista.
7-11 turned into a Kwik-E-Mart for upcoming "Simpsons" movie promotion.
People were lining up to buy boxes of "Krustie-Os" cereal.
The inside of the store was pasted with Kwik-E-Mart signs and warnings.
The parking sign said "5 minute parking or die" or something like that.
Tee-hee.


Edit: a little bit of Web research indicates that this is the ONLY Los Angeles location to be turned into a Kwik-E-Mart.
Also, the promotion will last a whole month, so I have time to go back and grab something or other. Or not.
I'm not exactly a fan of "The Simpsons".
I know, shock, horror.


Edit Part Deux: Okay, so I guess Burbank is not part of Los Angeles, because there's a Kwik-E-Mart up there too.
Here's a link to somebody's Flickr album with a buttload of Burbank Kwik-E-Mart Photos.
Thank you, come again!

Kind of reverse product placement, isn't it? The story I saw on local news about this even showed an authentic Indian counterman, pulling Smooshies.

Hijacking your LJ for a moment, I will be interested to hear your take on new Disney/Pixar animated feature RATATOUILLE. I think they worked very hard to capture the essence of the world of French Cuisine with one exception. I want to see if you see what I see.

The Poison Pad was only 3 blocks from this particular 7-11, so I'm familiar with the staff.
They're all Pakistani, as far as I know. :)

Hmmmm, I have not seen "Ratatouille" yet but I will, later in the week.
I'll keep an eye out for this glaring non-French thing you speak of. :)

Do see it, yes. It is very good.

Now that is amusing.

I now have 'who needs the kwik-e-mart' song in my head.
umm
thank you?

I've read about it. Nice to see it in "real-life" :D

As for taking and posting a picture every day, good idea!

I'm so irritated that Portland doesn't get a Kwik-e-Mart. Half the characters in the Simpsons are named after streets here!
