when boys clean up:

josh & colin cleaned up after having people over the other night. the untouched tiramisu did not get the sweet end of that deal.

A little of this & that:

Full days spent doing nothing & everything all at once, preparing little deserts for holiday parties, dance parties, oh the dance parties and all the good people these things happen with. I'm quite excited to see how the rest of this break turns out.

The Soft Skeleton

Emily Haines & The Soft Skeleton. 'Our Hell'

I love music videos that evoke real emotion in the simplest ways.

3 Days Til Break...

We took my niece to the Brian Eno exhibit at CSULB. (Never too early to give them a little culture.) It was the first time I'd been back since graduating. It's strange how foreign the campus felt. The exhibit was quite good, although I'd hoped it would've been larger. 7 million different images all incorporated into new pieces of art. Pretty sweet.


Sunday we went to KROQ's Acoustic Christmas. Muse puts on a damn good show. Metric, Phoenix and even Vampire Weekend were all fun too. All music aside, seeing infant sized Deryck Whibley made my night more than any of the other silly people backstage.

F R I D A Y!

I hadn't been to a Benihana's since homecoming in highschool. I wish every Friday could be like this. Let the games begin!

weekend recap

Another good weekend with good people. I've come to realize that having responsibility does not have to be synonymous with becoming boring.

Friday, The Fling played a house show with a handful of our other friends contributing couch side. I somehow ended up dancing around until after 3am?

Saturday was the 2nd St parade. Ahh I love the holidays!

Sunday I got to just sit and read. For dinner I made a Pumpkin Lasagna to accompany our Dexter watching. (The lasagna was amazing - although I should probably work on my presentation.) Less than 2 weeks til Christmas break, trying not to check out just yet - but waking up to the rain this morning made it so hard to leave the comforts of my warm bed. I keep peering out the window, watching it trickle down so peacefully. Today would be the most perfect day to spend curled up at home, watching some of the 15 screeners I have from work.

work life

Last week was insanely busy - until Friday that is. What started out as a photo taken to make fun of a co-worker, inhaling his lunch while watching tv at his desk, turned into an entire day of people trying to one up the next.

2010 already?

I can't believe that tomorrow is the first day of December, or that in one month's time we will have entered into 2010. I feel like the weeks have just been disappearing. Anyway, let's move past my unsettling feeling that life is moving way too fast & my wish to make every everything intentional and thought out, because really, I only started this post to share this:

tis the season

Day 4 of 5 entire days off from work. I'm starting to be reminded of what unemployed life was like and not entirely sure what I'll do during the two weeks we get for Christmas/New Years. I've spent good time with the people that make me smile, cooked good food, baked delicious sweets, cleaned, read at the coffee shop and basically covered all my bases.

The above photo is of Burbank, it was nice being back there for a bit, it also made me reflect on where I was last year & where I'll be in a year. Yikes.

Everyone who left for the holidays is beginning to return and Long Beach is feeling a little less like a ghost town. We have some good plans for tonight and tomorrow as this break is not over yet!

bam

We Get It -

Your offices are & always will be way cooler than any place any of us regular people work at.

Don?

Jon Hamm. Total babe through and through.

Haus of Ga-Ga

I really don't know what to say after watching this. Homegirl is bat shit crazy and I can't stop watching. Observing her clomp around in all that McQueen & other amazing fashion/shoes has sucked me in. I can't stand her music but I may need to see her live one day. (yikes.)

wedding season

Saturday was Jessica & Peter's wedding day. They found the perfect property to have it at. It was beautiful out there. So clear. Jessica looked stunning and Peter looked quite dapper.

By the end of the night, one of the groomsmen had been shot in the shin by the groom himself. Gallons of alcohol had been consumed, hours and hours of dancing occurred and the kind of memories created that put a smile on your face the second you reminisce.
Congrats Jess & Peter Mansen!!
