halloween time.

this weekend.
i did nothing.
i mean utterly nothing.
i watched festive halloween-ish movies.
several hundred episodes of house hunters.
and played with the dog.

bailey spent the weekend with phil and i. the most adventurous thing we did was get wasted at el carmen with brandon on friday for $50 and then dig through racks of clothes at ross on sunday just to leave with the purchase of one cardigan. really nothing too spectacular. we made A+ velveeta and tacos el grande. and managed to miss brandon's birthday fiesta in venice and andi's hollywood birthday... and im not happy at all about either event. perhaps i can make up for it this week? what shows are there? i think we've got the kooks, jack's mannequin [twice], mr. cornell, and cobra starship. lets not forget halloween too.

yikes. i have no costume yet. and no plans. theres a few great shows halloween night and about a million an one hosue parties. halloween rarely comes on a friday night so i feel like we should really make the most of it right?? this is what i want to be... let's see how this works out...

just one more...

ok i promise.

this is the last one...

just look.

thanks steph.

ahh to be 1999 again!

i like to act thirteen.

how good [bad] is this?

i just got very excited.

lets get serious... of course i'm going.

perhaps LA and Vegas?

does anyone want to come with?

its ok... we're allowed to be in middle school.

ps- nick carter is still gorgeous.

ever wonder what i do in los angeles?
well the lovely full sail university has summed it up.
via internet.

this is where i work.
this is what i do.
i might as well go ahead and admit...
i secretly do love my job.

kind of embarassed.
kind of neat.
for what its worth... feel free to read.

insert fun here.

i nearly forgot i was going back to vegas this weekend. im very excited about it... and relatively dissappointed its only wednesday! oh well. better than monday right?

the final debate is tonight. are you tuning in? its good to stay informed. attention... to any californian who may read this... the deadline to register is... october 20th. did you pay attention... did you read that?

write it down.
ill say it again...
october 20th.

anything else going on? my shepard fairy project is coming to an end. 2 hours of work nightly for over 2 weeks... and im almost there. alright! today i heard the blackberry storm will be official in november. [a month sooner than expected need i remind you!] in about 8 short weeks i FINALLY get to head home. i think about what it will be like every single day... whats changed? will i remember how to drive home from the airport? will i remember how to drive around the city at all? will ANY of the same people still go to my church? ok. i realize i haven't been gone for 35 years. but hey it has been FIVE years since ive been there during a winter season, FOUR since i've lived there, and TWO since ive been there at all! so im looking forward to it very much. i can't wait to eat bojangles and eddie's with my grandparents. i really can't...

well watch the debate...
go buy yourself some new music...
kings of leon are in LA tonight.
...until tomorrow

works for me...

billy ikea.

i hate to say it... but friday night was a total bust.
flosstradamus played a not so fun repeat set.
who does that? party foul for floss.
the crowd was also less than pleasing...
overall. dissappointed.

saturday i went furniture shopping, in an attempt for new bed nightstand set... no winners this weekend. I also went over to phil's studio. i've been working on this billy idol/shepard fairy interview for about the last 2 weeks. very difficult to understand that british chap billy idol... haha. shepard has recently done the artwork for the billy idol "idolize yourself" album. phil has been working on a new ice cube movie i think? so we were both relatively productive people saturday night. point for us right?

sunday we were up at 8AM. ew.
i finally sold my nokia N76 phone.
followed by a productive trip to ikea!
ya see phil's mom will be here at approx 12:30PM wednesday afternoon.
it was neccessary i pick up the following: couch cover, glasstop desk, rug, lamp, and even some light bulbs!

well, big week ahead... including vegas this weekend [thank god!]
ting tings at the wiltern tomorrow night. who's going?
happy monday.

studying politics.

i will not try to persuade you.
but i do have an interesting read if you're up for it.
[yes, andrea and karamea that means you]

"make believe maverick the real john mccain"

just take a read...
make your own judgements.
form your own opinions.
just try your hardest to be well informed.

good news...
voter registration and ballot came in the mail today!
hello to voting in CA.

dance party 2K8.

you got plans friday night?
well, you should now.

this will be my friday:
work.
hannah montana 3 taping.
flosstradamus.

who's coming?
let's dance.

hello downtown los angeles.

this weekend went too fast. i think thats the problem with most weekends to be honest. why is that? i suppose i enjoy my weeks. i just enjoy my weekends more. that doesnt seem to be fair. but i suppose being fair isn't exactly the purpose of the game. with that said, friday night dinner and drinks with office folks after work happened ... these office folks to be exact. and yes, pom-poms were involved.

saturday i slept and cleaned the apartment. made some fabulous breakfast food. then set up our basketball court. we have the perfect corner door and the perfect amount of floor space to play some nerf one on one. i found the net+ball in a box of things from my grandparents house i had saved from when i was about 10. i lost our first game... thats all i have to say about that.

saturday night paul and trevor came over for detour. we took the subway down to pershing square... wandered aimlessly. and ended up at la cita. an authetic spanish bar. there was a roller derby after party... not to mention the dodger or usc game fans swarming the area. i saw a good handful of middle aged women who were not afraid to shake it. both paul and lb trev got down. we ended our evening at the taco stand next to la cita [that seemed appropriate]

sunday consisted of me, my couch, and i. i even bought a subscription to fit-tv yesterday in an attempt to get in shape. lets see how good this works out... haha. i love days of nothing. well perhaps nothing isnt the word... we did learn "something"... more about kimora lee simmons than anyone should ever need to know to be precise. if you consider that productive... then we'll take it. yesterday was also miley's 16th birthday. her party was at disneyland... i wish i had been that cute when i was 16. i will be at a the hannah montana 3 taping this weekend.

well. hello to a new week. i will leave you with a link to my friend ashley's paintings. they are fabulous and i want them all. take a look and say hi.
