Tired SCREAMS!

I know I've been a little lazy about blogging, and I've definitely been lazy about writing.

Total word count as of now is 10529. I think I'm going to be able to do this. I'm super behind, but have been getting a lot more writing done at work, and the story is shaping up. At least I hope so.

Big weekend. M was in town, and I had a realization that I drink too much, and am a mean drunk. So, I'm going to cool it from now on. I mean, NOT get blackout drunk on Saturdays.

My mom is back in the States, and its been nice to speak to her. She bought herself an ipod touch though, so now I keep getting calls from her, asking how to do what.

I am so incredibly tired lately. I seriously think I have mono. Or a gas leak. I have to get at least 10 hours of sleep every night now, or I will fall asleep on the road.

I can't wait to get home, to take K to FF and to see everybody.

What are words for?

OK, so I'm grosssly behind in my nanowrimo adventure. It is November 9th, and I'm supposed to be at 15,003 words. I am currently at 6585. YIKES! Behind SCREAMS!
I'm not going to stress out about it, and follow the words of one wise woman (CCS), and just have fun with this. Its getting kinda interesting, and even though my "novel" is totally "character" driven, I'm trying to pull together a plot, hopefully with a happy ending. (Boy, I sure am glad I opted to not do the zombie apocalypse fiction I wanted to do in September.)

This weekend was a good one.
Saturday I met, E, K and L for brunch, before we went to the Hammer. They had this really cool mandala exhibit. 4 or 5 Nepalese buddhist monks were creating the sand drawing(?), and we caught it the day before they performed the dissolution exhibit. I'm not going to lie, I wish I could have gotten my beans together to get down there to watch the ceremony and dissolution in the sea, but could not do it.


(This is pretty cool, they did the whole thing freehand)

Sunday we took the girls to Griffith Park for B's 9th birthday party. K was a little bitch, growling and barking at other dogs, but otherwise, enjoyed the day and had a good hike. I had a good hike too (I forgot how steep that thing is).


(The birthday girl)


(K had to sit off to the side, cause she just wanted to bark at other dogs. I am squatting like a pet chimp)


(B decided she hasn't had enough treats, love or cake so she decided to raid the spare goody bags)

Gaining an hour of sleep has been nice, but now, apparently my commute is 1 hour and its going to kill me. I've been sleeping every night at 10, just from sheer exhaustion.

M is in town tomorrow night, so I know this weekend is going to get deep again too. I kind of want to take K for another Griffith Park hike, so I'm going to try and introduce that idea to E and M.

How the hull is it already Thanksgiving? In the email, we're already making plans for the few days I'll be up north. Parties, Fort Funston runs, bar hopping, and a ZPH visit.
AGHHHH. This year is flying!!!!!!!!!!

more words...

Just got back from Honey Pig for L's birthday. I basically ate my weight in meat, and drank my weight in alcohol, but had enough sense to realize I'm still grossly behind in words, so opened up my text edit and wrote.
3028 words! Which would be great if this was November 2nd. But its not. So I better haul ass.
I'm trying to not freak out about what I'm doing, or attempting to do. Just wanna get it all out there. I mean, no one ever said it had to be good right?
Tomorrow I'm going to that Hammer exhibit to see the Buddhist monks finish up their sand painting exhibit. I'm kind of excited, it should be pretty cool.

The rest of this weekend is devoted to laundry and writing. Laundry and writing.


(Nightcap. Which is dumb, cause I'm exhausted and so full, I do not need any more alcohol.)

Things are worse then ever!

Alas. The dog washing fairy DID NOT visit while I was at work today, so I had to give K a bath. She hated it, but I just caught her lying on her back, kicking all four of her legs up in the air, so I'm pretty sure she's feeling good. Especially with this dumb heat wave.
Got a lot more on track with my writing today, and while I probably won't be able to write tonight (going to Molly Malone's to see C's band with E, L and M), am going to do a lot of catch up this weekend.

Thats all for now, but heres a picture of me and my babycakes.


(K is pretending to look sad that she got a bath, but I know she feels good)

NaNoWriMo Day # 1 (Well, really day 3, but I'm behind)

1563 words written. I kept getting false starts tonight, but finally found a groove.

I'm still behind on words (I was giong to write 1667 words a day and am 3 days behind, but still. I can catch up right?)

YAY! I'm excited. Welp, more excited then I was few hours ago. A few hours ago I was going to scrap this plan and turn on an episode of 24.

I'm on my way to being a novel writer!



Here I am celebrating my first real attempt at a novel with a glass of pinot noir.

Hulla news!

Big news all around.
I know its been a while since I blogged, but I'm back and with a vengeance.
I'd like to start this blog off with the promise that I am giong to blog more. I don't know i don't do it more, but ive made a decision to get off my ass and get to it so here goes.

FIrstly (and I'm going in chroniogical order here)
THE GIANTS WON THE WORLD SERIES!!!!!!!
Yup, the 2010, World Series Champions are the San Francisco Giants. While I'm not a die hard Giants fan, I still am a native San Franciscan, so having my home team win the World Series is big, big news. The Texas Rangers were doing really well, and I thought they were going to win, but the Giants won in 5 games. I lost my mnd on Monday night. M and I were at Pink Taco in Century City, and when we left, I literally ran all the way home, screaming my head off.



They won in Texas. I'm not going to lie, I was hoping they'd have to go back to San Francisco for a hometown victory, but am glad they finished it off. I'm also afraid SF would have exploded too.

Secondly,
ZPH was born! She's beautiful and I'm so proud and happy for D & C. I can't wait to squish that little bug. D had to have a c-section, but she came out perfect, and as far as I can tell, mom is doing fine.


The first picture C posted of ZPH. She's cute though!


Thirdly,
NaNoWriMo started on Monday, and I've committed to doing it. I just started today, and I don't know how I'm going to get 50,000 words that isn't just "poop" repeated 50,000 times, but I'm going to do it.
I've decided to bring my laptop to work to get some writing in so I can edit and rearrange at home, but now I'm just some asshole who lugs her laptop all over the lot, looking for a place I can type and smoke. God, people must think I'm just a huge dickhead.

Here's me in the commisary at work. Eating chips and trying to write.



You'll be getting updates daily (well, I'll try), on how my progress goes.

Finally!

I'm long overdue on this blog.
Move to LA finally happened! I've been here a month or so, and after a lot of b.s. interviews, finally landed a temp job.

Here.

(This is seriously the building I work in. There are DWARVES on the building. Honest to god DWARVES)

It's all good. The job is easy, but I need to touch base with my headhunter, cause things are still so uncertain. I had a really weird interview with the hiring manager, which led to anxiety about the job, position, team etc...

Times have been good. Been hanging out a lot with E, which is always nice, as we hole up in her apartment, drinking tecates and pbr's, and laugh and shoot the shit.

K HATES it here, but only cause she doesn't get to go to Fort Funston, has to share a small apartment with B, and isn't allowed on the bed. BUT, she's a good little puppy who will be queen of the roost when we finally get our own place.

I'm going to try to work on some things: writing, looking for open mic's, etc...but generally things are pulling together. I'm really happy here, and even though I miss all of my SF crew, especially M, I feel connected to them all via daily emails of ridiculousness.

BIG NEWS:
D & D are gearing up for their move, and we're trying to put together a Vegas or Disneyland trip, which should be really, really fun.

D & C are having a little TBShe, and I fly up for the shower at the end of the month.

S & J are tying the knot next week. I can't wait to stand up there with her. I'm so proud of her, and know she and J will live a long good life together. She's also having a little tbshe as well.


The biggest news of course, is..our very own A is engaged. I couldn't help but tear up when I read the text, and am so happy and excited for the both of them. Dammit. He finally put a ring on it. A, if you'da given me a few more years to get my shit together, we coulda had a good life together..

That is all for now.
I'm so durn tired, I can't even see straight.

Dog dream journals

Ahhh..dog dreams. Not to be confused with dreams about dogs.
But my dreams are usually pretty deep, so I've had a pen and pad of paper next to my bed the past few months to write down things I remembered, phrases/words about them when I wake up.
This one is musta been a doozy.

-Grapes of Wrath
-NPR road trip?
-Middle east
-looked like Brooklyn
-Reality show

Huh?

Meanwhile, the move to LA is slowly coming together. I think I have the car stuff figured out, and I am working on some interviews.

I need to get the hell outta dodge yo.

Just a quick one!

Just a quick one, I know I still need to blog about DC/NY.

Wanted to blog a quick shout out to TBD P.H. ! I can't wait to meet you.

Guilty Pleasures - 4/14/2010

I'm sitting around here, trying to get it motivate to go upstairs and sleep but instead am watching the tail end of "The Net". Remember that movie? With Sandra Bullock? About the computer programmer who gets her identity hacked?
SO, I've never seen this before, but apparently its set in San Francisco. I like the part in the end where she goes to this one building on Market, to hack into the system, and as she's leaving, there is some random candlelit vigil for some non-descript "cause". I think I saw the words, "healthcare" on some signs.
Sandy Bullock also is wearing some deeeeep ass high waisted khaki's.



God love me though. I want to see this hot mess



I also just finished reading the Percy Jackson series. Its fun. Like Harry Potter but with Greek mythology. Its made for some HILARIOUS misunderstanding of newscasters talking about Haiti's government.



I never thought I'd say it, because the movie is absolute perfection, but Parenthood is kind of a good show. The cast is really solid, the dialogue isn't contrived and the soundtrack is kind of good.



AND, last but not least....This was on tv last night and I had to watch it. Its one of my favorite movies, and probably the best part of the movie. And trrrrust. I have this song on my ipod..

Reason # 1 why I'm glad I don't have children

Its effing pouring outside and I've got the deepest hangover. UGH. Sake. The devils elixir. It just goes down so smooth and you don't realize how much you've had to drink until its too late. I just got out of bed an hour ago, and I'm contemplating getting back in. My head hurts, my stomach hurts, I'm effing dehydrated and my lungs hurt from smoking too much.

This is reason # 1 I am so glad I don't have children.

New dog, new bangs, and the Sunday I blacked out.

Humina. You guys. Times is flying! I don't even know how we're in April already.

I interviewed last week with a pretty large law firm and am waiting for to hear back. I think it went well, and I'm just WAITING for the day I can walk into C's office and tell her that L.M. can blow me where the pampers is.
I know I always say it, but seriously. This is the shittiest company I've ever worked for. They had to fire one woman for complete incompetence, and rather then get a temp to help with the accounts payable, are now working M overtime. This on top of the fact that I found out that Mr. M bought himself a freaking 2010 Ferrari. I want to kick up a fuss and ask for a year review (shoot me in the face, I can't believe its been a year already), and demand a raise, but don't even want to fight for it.

I'm going to DC in a few weeks and I'm really excited about that. I found a crazy cheap flight and so I'm going to go stay with E, and go to the Smithsonian, Natural History museum, Library of Congress and all those other cool places. I heard I'm missing all the cherry blossom festivities, but who cares, it'll be pretty, and warm.

Karen got her collar cam. She's really good at looking down when the camera clicks, so a lot of her pictures are of her chin.


Like so.
And another...


But she did manage to actually get some fun pictures of the park:



and:



And one of her leg, which cracks me up:



The BIGGEST news is, of course, is my brother rescued a new dog. His name is Bojangles, but I think he looks like a Harold.



Also..this happened last Sunday:



and this:




and this:





and this:



Good Lord. I haven't been right since.

Tuesday, March 23, 2010

Its been a while

Wowsas. Time is flying yo. I've been working on some things, mainly figuring out if I'm going to move, trying to find a new job and am trying to write more. Hopefully once the I conquer the tv monster, I'll be writing a lot more (fiction and non).

Went to LA this weekend for B's housewarming and to cheer M on for the marathon. B's house is beautiful, and made me happy for her. M rocked the marathon, and I'm proud of her.
I brought Kare bear with, and she hated it of course, but scored a totally awesome plush bed shaped like a donut which she hasn't gotten out of since we got back. Brat.

Her collar cam came too so look forward to pictures from Fort Funston this weekend.



The baby, her nannerpuss and the donut.

So deeply deep - The weekend that will live in infamy.



heh heh



We're cute, but that idiot in the back is dumb. It was a nice day.



Then this happened in the car.




It was actually sunny!




Karen Thea made an appearance as well.


OK. So. This weekend got pretty deep. It was M & E's birthday Saturday and Sunday respectively.
E flew up on Friday night and she, M and I had a delicious meal at Hooters, and then met D & D at the Fever Hundo. God. I love that bar.

Saturday we woke up early, and headed over to meet everyone for the Barrel Tasting. A, M, L and I drove up behind the limo that had E, M, D & C. The wine tasting was really nice, and we even got some sun. I had to take it easy, cause you know, I was driving, but man. Some people got real loose. Particularly the birthday girls. I didn't get to take as many pictures as I wanted, but man, got a few really good ones. L met us at the third to last winery.
One of the wineries we went to was filled with people wearing pastels and popped collars and argyle sweaters tied around their shoulders. L found out it was all a gag, and we started to talking to a few guys. One guy was so drunk, and shoving popcorn into his face, I had to cover my glass so it wouldn't get popcorn kernals he was spitting out as he spoke.
Good times though, they were fun.

We got back to the city around 7, and I stayed in the rest of the night.

Sunday was beautiful and sunny, albeit cold and we had a pretty fun game of sloshball going. Karen went crazy, running around, barking at dogs who would run through, and getting pet. I got to see G, who I never see anymore, and generally got to hang and bang.
You guys. I don't know if I'm going to make it through this week. I just want to live every day like I did this weekend. Forever.

Sunday, February 28, 2010

L, you're in my thoughts today.

Just a quick one today. L's mom passed away after two months of ups and downs. My heart is heavy and sad. I know she's not suffering anymore, and its been a long battle, but I can't stop feeling sad for L and her family. My heart goes out to her and her family.

I'm going to call my mom and tell her how much I love her.
I suggest you all do the same.

Dog Dreams # 2 2/26/2010

Whoa. Strange ones again last night.
I dreamt M invited us all to his family's beach house in Morro Bay A whole crew of us were there, and this part gets kind of fuzzy, but we had a deadline of paying taxes (?) by April 1st. We were all getting ready to go next door to S's house, but all of a sudden the beach house was very wooded, and the house was all dark wood. IT actually kinda looked like we were in Portland. Then Ryan Reynolds comes out of the kitchen and I say to him, "Wow. You're a lot better looking then I thought you were", because he was really handsome, and he was like, "Thanks", so he was apparently staying at the beach house/Portland house as well. Then M and I were talking about him, because he was Ryan Reynolds, but also a half-asian dude, and I was like, "He looks better because he doesn't look as asian-y, you know how sometimes those kinds of mixes turn out bad", and M was like, "Don't say that!"

Then, M and I were walking on these fairgrounds, and it looked like a real legitimate county fair, out in the sticks, cause we got sick and tired of waiting for everyone to put on their shoes so we could go to S's house. And M and I were walking around talkinga about how nice it was to see people from the community come out to support the fair. And I was marveling at how there were real fair games, not just lame ones, like that one where you spray water into the clown's mouth to blow up the balloon.
One of the "real" fair games was a "real penny pitch" (I swear to god I remember saying this in my dream), and I was like, "This is a real penny pitch, not like those fake ones you go to now where they just spray all the dishes with pam so you can't win."

Then M and I started walking back to his beach house, which now looked like a victorian house, and it was in the middle of this dusty street, in what looked like old time-y Salinas, or at least how I imagine old time-y Salinas to look, and eveyrone was finally coming out of the house, but this group of ladies was walking by, and talking about the house and how it used to be a whore house, and they were joking about how maybe it still was because there were so many people coming out of it, and then they saw M and I going towards it, and I was like, "Wow. Its so nice you surprised me for our anniversary", really loud, to make the ladies think we were going to a whore house to celebrate.
WEIRD,

(no) Whale Watching!


Here we are at the beginning of the trip.


Choppy ass waters yo.


No whales in sight.

Whale watching, in theory is a great idea. You get on a boat, go out about 15-20 miles, see whales as they migrate either north or southbound, get lots of pictures, and then go back.

Thats IF you see whales. Today we went whale watching, or as I like to call it, (no) whale watching. L, A & J and I went down to Half Moon Bay this morning. It was overcast and rainy, but as we sat down to brunch, the thoughts of all the whales we were going to see warmed us through a delicious meal. It started raining harder, but joined the group of others. We met Izzy, the whale biologist, as Amanda sang her humpback whale songs, and we looked up at the sky, hopeful that the sun would be coming out soon.
We boarded the Salty Lady, and set out. The sea was choppy leaving the harbor, and we all clung to the side of the boat, so excited.
We kept going, the rain stopped, the sea was choppy and windy, and at one point we passed some weather line and the temperature dropped 20 degrees, well, it felt like it anyways.
We kept going, on and on. It started getting colder and colder as the ocean spray hit our faces.
And yet we kept going. No whales, but still, hopeful, scanning the horizon.
After an hour, L sat down, and after another half hour of standing by the side of the boat, getting soaked, I sat down as well.

We were cold, wet and hadn't seen any stinking whales. I likened it to being our Everest. Meaning we spent a lot of money (well, relatively), endured the weather, but still there is no guarantee you'll actually accomplish what you were hoping you would.

The skipper turned the boat around, which was nice, cause the sun came out for a little bit, and J and I caught little mini naps.
We docked, and went to go eat and drink warm things, and headed home.
My hair and clothes are salty and windblown, I can't get warm and no. I didn't see any whales.
Whales, I will see you with mine eyes. Soon.

2 in one day


Sorry buddies, its been a while, so I thought I'd write down some thoughts. Had a great weekend.

Friday night, went to the fever hundo club with L and a bunch of her homies, including that guy D, who I definitely dont' like anymore, mainly because he was telling me about what his Valentines day plans were, and they involved walking across the golden gate bridge with his girlfiend (typo, but I'm keeping it), then going home and watching some fucking Godard or Truffault movies. Ugh. French New Wave? Ugh. Intelligensia irritates me, even though I was a total douchebag that night and used the word "jingoism" So, after fever hundo, got a street hot dog (EVERYTHING tastes better wrapped in bacon), then home.

Saturday I was a little hungover, so I cleaned the shit out of the house and did all the laundry and hung out with the Mtn. View gang, which was ridonculously fun. D had an idea for a bad 80's movie night, so I brought my copy of "Over the Top", and thought we were going to like watch it, but D had already gone to the video store and rented REALLY bad 80's movies. I mean, they were like low rent Porky's types of movies with gratuitous nudity, a completely unremarkable plot, and some scene where, at a halloween party, some kid shows up as a Klansman.

Sunday I spent with all my favorite people (except I didn't get to see A). Took my babycakes to Fort Funston, and even though she was a little bitch when I leashed her, and still has that little limp. Came home, did some mall walking with M, and then back home for some cuddling time with the puppy. Party at L's house, which was actually kinda fun. I had a sort of stomachache, and the bathroom smelled REALLY bad, or maybe it was just me..but whatever.
Met some guy, who's name I don't know, who was kinda cute, he looked like early Rhett Miller, and some people were liking it. So, I tried to talk to him all night, even though he was kind of a weirdo, I'd heard he'd been on a bad date with L, AND was bumming cigarettes off people all night.
Turns out there was some other really pretty girl that was into him too. What the dub are the chances that this guy is going to show up at a party and be the object of 2 girls' affections?

Tonight, D and A and I are going to go see Avatar(d). Word.

Dog Dreams # 1 - 2/15/10

OK. There were some real weird ones last night.

I dreamt I was investigating some murder mystery at this old abandoned house for a story I was writing, and we all thought the house was haunted by the ghost of the woman who had been murdered. I mean, there was definitely a haunted basement, and I was there with my mom, and the house was old and creaky.
So after doing some investigating, I found out the husband hadn't killed the wife, but he had thought she ran away with someone else, and was heartbroken, and the wife had been killed by some stranger, and thats why her ghost was haunting the house. I wrapped up that case, but decided I wasn't going to write the story about it, because it was so sad and full of heartbreak, and I didn't want to exploit the couple who had both been deceived and hurt.
THEN, I was at someone's house which then turned into a ranch, and the gang was all there, but the electricity kept coming in and out, and Ryan effing Gosling was there? And we were all standing around outside, and then the electricity goes again, so I decide we should play a game, where we run across to the middle (we were for some reason lined up in 2 lines facing each other), and do a fun high 5 and then run back.
AND, it just so happened I was across from Ryan effing Gosling, so I run out and did a fist bump with an explosion, and then the electricity came back on and we were all going back into the main lunchroom, and Ryan effing Gosling runs up to me, and puts his arm around me and was trying to talk to me about the fist bump and was asking me how to do one, and I was like, "yeah yeah", and trying to wriggle out from underneath his arm to show him, but I was so excited about it, I didn't even realize he was coming up with a stupid flimsy excuse to put his arm around me talk to me! I was just so fixated on showing him to do a fun high give/fist bump explosion. Dumb.

Tough day

Ugh. Walking to work today was brutal. Not only because every single smelly, homeless guy would walk right next to me, or spit into my path but because its day 3 of not hearing from Twitter, and I'm still realy disappointed. Just thinking about how nice those offices were, and people actually engaging with each other, and looking happy to be at work? And then having to trudge over here, fucking 6th and Mission, into this dank pit. Man. It makes me real angry.

So, thats where I've been the last week. Just obsessed with Twitter, and wishing I had another job. And what kills me is that its been busy. I mean, insane. And yet, each day just drags longer and longer, the weeks feeling like months.
I swear, some of the things people at this place will try to do (not pay for services rendered, withhold rent payments to our landlords, change schedules)...ugh. It puts paperplategate to shame.

The little bit left on Sunday. Saturday night was a bad one for me, stayed home but fought with M alll night, which scared the dogs. But, the girls were getting used to each other, playing every day after they ate, AND the little bit was starting to pee and poo outside when I'd take her on a walk. I hope she's happy with her new owners.

Last week was A's birthday, and she organized this really awesome winetasting trip up to Sonoma. Ordinarily, I'm not a fan of wine tasting, but the Cline winery we went to was really awesome, and cheap. I'm not going to lie. I got real drunk. We sampled like 20 wines.

Sunday is the Superbowl, and I'm going to try and get someone to have a party. OR at least get invited to one. I basically want to stuff my face with chips, dip, and domestic beer.

Omega, its only 1040.

Martin Luther King Jr. Day



Its a bloody holiday, and I'm stuck at work. What makes it worse, is, its cold and rainy outside, my throat is tickly and the dogs were so cuddly and warm this morning. Even Kares cut her own walk short, and wanted to get back into the house, into bed.
I just want to lie in bed all day and watch Supernatural and have the dogs cuddled up next to me. Little bit is still pretty hypers, but she's settling down. Kares is still being a dickhead about the little bit, but meh..what can you expect? I'm just glad I didn't bring her to Morro Bay, because it looks like she's still limping and she would have lost her shit at the beach house. For real.

Last night I was watching the season premiere of Supernatural season 3, and the best part of it is when they're talking about the demons that they're fighting, and it turns out theyr'e the 7 deadly sins, and Dean goes, "Whaaats in the boxxxxx?" and they all look at him, and he goes, "What..Brad Pitt in Se7en?" STUPID...

Urgh. This day is eternal, and all I keep thinking about is living in that beach house with Karen and playing Ms. Pac Man and playing on the beach!

Sunday, January 17, 2010

Ohhhhhhhhhhh shiiiiittttttttttt!!!


Back from Morro Bay tonight. It was pretty awesome you guys. I've never been down there, and the Sitko's have this crazy, beautiful house right on the beach. I took it pretty easy, but I think the best part of the night was the roast for M. I lost my shit when A made the Landmark remark, and I'm really glad M and I were welcomed down to join in the festivities.
UGH. The only bad part of the night was disgusting J fingerblasting M, and being an all around ugly creepy creep. Yeah. M. I know you're reading this.
The roast was really fun, it was nice getting a littl emore insight into M and hearing E read that email was hilarious. Truly.
Some of the jokes were a little awkward (NERRRVOUS), especially since he M has dated people who were there, and married to other guys.

SLO is nice. I've never been, and its gorgeous. The town is really clean, and I just felt like a total degenerate throwing my cigarette buttt down (which I didn't).

I did miss my babycakes though, and even the little bit. They're so cute right now.

Next week is A's dirty 30, and I'm thinking theres going to be a wine train. Mama like.

Sunday, January 10, 2010

I'm getting too old for this shit...

URGH. This weekend has been deep. I mean, epic. Friday night started off civil-y enough, with quick drinks at the 540, but I took a stinking sleeping pill before I went to bed, and then couldn't get out of bed until noon on Saturday. I spent all day trying to clean the house and managed to vacuum and get all the laundry done. Saturday night I met L and M to go over to L's house to watch The Room, which is just as bad as I remembered it. We booked out, and headed over to a going away party down on 24th and Alabama. The party was fun, but I was so drunk and tired, all I could do was stare at all the little junior hipsters and chug my beers.

The party was fun, except when that Ed Helm's lookalike turned off Motown Philly to put on a Wilco song. Now I like Wilco as much as the next guy, but man..not when I'm dancing to some Boys II Men.

Went to Taqueria Vallarta for some food, and ended up running some dude down to get his number for M. Got home at 430 in the fucking morning, and am in deep dirtbag mode.

Right now I'm trying to pull it together to go meet L and M at some bar on 17th and Capp for B's birthday. I'm going to BART though so I can be home by 10 and in bed by 1030. For real.

Sometimes I think I'm getting too old for this shit..

sorry buddy

New Years eve, we're all struggling to stay awake. D & D's faces in the front kill me.

snow time!





OK. So I got caught stalking someone via the internet through their blog, and now, said blog is restricted from uninvited readers. Which is kind of dumb, because if you really dont' want people/strangers snooping in your private life, maybe you shouldn't be putting them on the internet..but I digress. I will say, however, when I opened the page last night and saw that it was restricted, I got really embarrassed and felt like I had been caught by the police, peeking in his blinds, with my pants down. But, I guess that all doesn't really matter anymore. I'm so glad that stupid decade is over, and can't wait to start this one off right. Maybe I'll add to my new years resolutions, and tell myself I won't be such a weirdo stalker...

Hmmmm..Anyways..Tahoe was great. I mean. Really great. We got to a point during the weekend, where we were joking about how maybe we had all died and that the cabin was heaven. I got really excited at that prospect, even if I missed Karen terribly.
We went sledding on Saturday, but because of the weather change, all the snow turned to ice, and I bit it really hard on the little hill. I mean, I like, lost my breath cause I got the wind knocked out of me. D & C got to come up too, so we all spent the new year together. We played asshole, the picture game, and an impromptu game of "everyone plays one song on their ipod", which was surprisingly entertaining.

Kare is good, by the way. She still has a bit of a limp, but M said he didnt' give her any advil the whole time I was gone. She stinks though, so a bath is in order. Pronto.
This weekend, we watched "The Room", which was about as bad as watching Rwandan genocide. I mean..its badddddddd. Bad but extremely quotable. We're going to catch it at the midnight showing at the Red Vic this month.
Other then that, nothing really to report. Had a blast in Tahoe, all we did was sleep, eat, drink, sled and goof off.
Got home last night, cuddled my baby inappropriatly, slept early and had a hell of a time waking up this morning. Now its back to the salt mines. Blurgh..Will it ever be 6?

New Years Day 2010!!

I am so excited I'm living the first day of the new year! Right now we are waiting for the hashbrown casseroles to bake, and D and E are doing ZUMBA! in the living room! Altogether it was a good night. D brought up the really good point that last night, we were all struggling to stay up till midnight, and then as soon as it came around, none of us could be stopped.
We're all living our own Hangover, but in Tahoe, and with better looking people, and funnier too.
Seriously though, who pooped in the yard?
