late night work.

man. so much going on lately! where to catch-up?

so, phillip has started working evenings as of yesterday... makes life a bit more boring during the day. but i have no complaints bc his job is surprisingly awesome. best part is that hes actually getting paid regularly. such an odd concept right?

what else? oh, i've officially added a membership to the sports club into my daily work week routine. yikes. its not pleasant. but i'll reluctantly admit i kind of like it. lova and i are also going to start doing bikram yoga on a regular basis. that ought to be intense.

oh, almost forgot... one year anniversary on tuesday!
i can't even believe it's already been a year? how did that happened?
so exciting.

that stupid boy means the world to me.
can't wait to finally reveal the surprise!

hope things in blogland are good for all...

you know, the president is in town today... i ought to do some work to get out of here and make it home by midnight!

if anyone sees phil... this could be cute... <3>

change is now.

i'm very proud of this.
it's something my office worked very hard on.
our names written inside says so much.
i'm very excited about it.
i hope you are too!
it's an amazing cd/dvd set.

it will be available in mid-february.
you can pre-order it here.
let's commemorate the inauguration 2009.
we've all been watching...
as a candidate... to now our president.
all hail to the chief.

hope.

its a new day.

its a new year.

not sure who else is coming...

after that...

she hasn't seen my apartment yet.
theres a bottle of wine with our name on it.
its basically a girls night out. much needed.

speaking of need... i need to finish my thank you card list. i mean desperately need ... i cant let it get to that point where its too late to even send them. and theres roughly 3 million i have to write today and tomorrow. busy busy. and its almost a 3 day weekend!

today will be...

a day that goes down in history.

it will change the world.

in fact...

we may have just changed the world.

congratulations.

whirlwind week.

i slightly neglected to blog last week. but it was a busy bee kind of week.... so to wrap things up... office life is great! i got a very unexpected promotion last week. it was just about the best news ever. i will soon be working on just day to day duties for: chris cornell, lenny kravitz, and collective soul... vanessa too. with that said... im now in the process of trying ot find my boss an assistant. anyone in blogland know of a bad ass assistant who is looking for work?

this week also included puppy time. bailey spent a majority of the week at our place. loved it. its a great sound when you walk in the door and hear little feet running around and squeaking toys... haha. i kept him hostage as long as i could... and brought him back to my mom's place thursday.

the blackberry storm party was this week. the best part was the unexpected entrance at the tail end of john mayer mayhem... ok i lied. the best part was actually getting my hands on one of these touch screen phones! bad news... the beta versions of these things they were walking around with were so slow. they froze every 4 seconds. that makes me nervous. don't let me down verizon!

oh yeah. halloween also happened! i was hannah montana. and i found the WORST hannah wig on the face of the earth... waste of $47 if you ask me. yikes. well phillip was the joker from the dark knight and together we drove over to a lovely house party pre-block party friday night. saw so many faces i have missed. we mini-vanned it over to this block party which had a popov open bar. thats a no no... ended up cabbing it up to hollywood... where phillip and i roamed about for hours. we actually ended up roaming all the way from vine to vermont. if you live in la... you're very aware thats quite the hike. but its ok... 6-pack in hand, we made it through! following that adventure i proceeded to lay in bed and do laundry the remainder of my weekend. the house is now clean, the dishes are done, and im slightly recovered.

this week has a lot in store for everyone... i mean the least of which is the fact that by the end of tomorrow we could possibly have a new president who could actually change this country. can you imagine that? president barack obama. oh man. that sounds great. i can only pray at this point. to be fair... i havent pulled up the toronto craiglist apartment adds just yet, well, because i have faith in tomorrow. i mean the one thing i know is that we as californians have our stuff together. we're clearly a barak kind of state. and i like that. the polls tomorrow will be no joke. i have to go to a korean presbyterian church near my house... i'm thinking the safe thing here would be to BE there no later than 7AM. i can only imagine these lines. ugh.

well half of this was written over the weekend... and i'm just now wrapping it all up. but needless to say, very successful halloween. much more so than last year at least. and its going to be a great new week... probably one of the most exciting new weeks in the history of the world to be honest. i can't wait. everyone gobama and go vote.

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

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.

money money money.

did you know your money is worth nothing? did you know that the federal reserve has no gold to back up the money you are earning/spending? did you know that the federal government is right this second in debt -$9,692,336,382,649. did you know that the fica payroll taxes you pay only totals $2,327,778,916,132 in social security savings. did you know that all other fica taxes only total $3,909,191,541,385 in government trust funds. did you know the public debt... thats you and me... we total -$5,783,146,759,162... in the hole. ouch.

toronto, christmas, the 08 election.

what would you do if you won the lottery? well i have never won it... so i don't know. but i have been pretending like i have... and internet shopping accordingly. it has pregressed into a relatively decent christmas list... and a significant sized ebay watch list... haha.


legoland polaroid 600
yashica electro 35
kodak duaflex II
breakfast at the blvd
ipod touch
new headboard/bed frame
big shaggy rugs
trip to camelback mountain
cadillac comfort bike
vintage slot machine
blackberry thunder/storm
smartcar






i don't see the big issue... its just money. haha. i really need nothing from that list... but if i won the lottery... this would be much easier! speaking of christmas... this year i will be in rochester... and hopefully toronto, all before going home to charlotte. anyone ever been to toronto? i hear theres good shopping.

speaking of canada... i have listened to all the political speeches over the last week. what did you think? i don't know that i'm really convinced in either direction. i'm not one to get heavily involved in politics... but i think the pending results for president... and my christmas visit to toronto... this very well could prompt an out of country move! that sounds like a safe bet right? haha. poor US economy. i hope someone saves it!
