Ok, the above is meaningless and boring to most anybody but myself. Sorry.

Also, BiBi, has become a little terrorist today!!!!!!!!

We sure do love our dog.

To start with, I'll broach the subject of the B-Day. I usually hate them, they've never been fun to me and I've never been much for parties as I'm not one for being a social butterfly amongst the meadows of various peeps that I know. Anyway, Jan. 11th came and went and was all things considered, a good time. We went to Cha Cha Cha and drank Sangria til' the late hours. I ended up passing out with my glasses on and hogging all the pillows. I awoke dehydrated and not sure of how time had elapsed such as it did. The rents came into the city and took Steph and I to brunch at foreign cinema, all in all a good time.

Let's just say that Steph and I get a little bored some nights, not of each other but you know, it's those times when interesting things happen such as this:



I think I like the follow up a great deal as well, because that was a complete accident:



Enjoy.

Xmas sans hitch.

It all went smoothly. I'm well fed, well loved and gald that's all over with for another year. My god do I hate Xmas music.

Movements and Canine Shelters

So we've finally moved into the loft, all is well. It's really a great place to live. We're still unpacking believe it or not and just getting settled into our lives there. I even have a little space to make beats and such. It's been a hotbed of worker bee activity, the painter who was there everyday for a week staright, the crazy direct TV installer that holds the building hostage with his self absorbed custom dish setup. Sheesh! The paint scheme lends itself perfectly to the urban forest we envision. Sky blue and chocolate brown or in paint terms Winsome Hue and Black Bean Soup if you will. Also we have a new puppy, she's a hippo and she already speaks warthog and seagull and she's part manatee. Her name after much discussion is BiBi, but could be squiggy,who really knows. She loves poo rocks.

Doldrums

So, the LA craft fair/ D-land excursion was fun and a much needed break, however, it was not condusive to restfulness. We arrived at the hotel at about 4 am on friday, we basically woke up to phone calls at 9:30am. We, at least Steph and I wandered around D-Land in a fog and we didn't leave the park until about 11-ish? I ahve to admit I was very tired and really just wanted to lounge and I think, make that I know that Manda, Steph and even G-po did as well. However, we had to take G-Po back to his hotel, downtown. Also, hanging at a Motel 6 in Anaheim just isn't condusive to fun. So we went to a cool loungy bar in West H-wood. Then on to Pinks for some dogs and fries. That brings us to food. We ate like savages and we ate horribly. I really try to limit my fast food intake to road trips. On the way down we stopped at the following: In and Out, McDonalds for the fries to pair with the In and Out, Wendy's for frosties and then Arby's at 2 AM to quote Hillary, "just because it was there." Then of course add on D-Land fare, which Steph and I wisely split. We did have a nice 4pm Brunch at the Vienna Cafe on Melrose, and the peeps that worked there were just insanely nice. Scene: A vey tired Manda inquiring about the eggs. "what size are the eggs?" A perplexed server who could have been rude "You're silly!" We all had a good laugh at this. A little levity for some tired peeps who still had a long drive back through smelly cow poo. As for the craft fair, Steph got her mypapercrane stump and Manda a cactus. Joy! November has been a little rough, Steph has had a lot on her mind with the new loft and all, so I've been seeing moody, grouchy Steph lately. I get it though and just don't take it to heart. Looks like move in is the 15th and she gets the keys today. I am proud of her even though it's been rough on her. I think the LA trip caused me to be really tired and out of sorts and thus on Monday nite I sort of vented at her. I think it was a bit surprising to her, but she understood after all was said and done. Rambling now..............

Stuff

Things that will only interest me:
1. Steph got her loft. Moving day TBD. Hello, astroturf fun!
2. LA Trip next weekend, Ah yeah, Anaheim Motel 6. We do it proper when we travel.
