3 L.A. bands coming to a city near you + 1 local band from each city we stop.

So very happy that my friends Blue Rabbit of San Francisco will be part of this show.

Friday night

2009-03-15T19:41:00.000-07:00

Since my return from NY I haven't spent quality time with the boys. The girls had their weekly dinner in West LA. Ananta and I decided to just chill at my apt, photoshopping some images for one of his projects. My friend Vic decided to join us and walk over to a local bar.

Just returned from NY. I definitely belong there. I would already be living there by now if we didn't have a dumb fuck President for 8 years - leave it to the white man to destroy everything. :D Anyhow. NY was amazing...loved it... was able to play in the snow for three days. Lotsa boozin, dancing and catching up with friends.

Decided to join tweet tweet twitter- so follow me if you like :) it's become my newest distraction.

PS THANK YOU STEVE FOR MY AWESOME DRAWING. Can't wait to see it in April <3

Alright so obviously my blog is not part of my New Year's resolution. Shit I didn't even make any. I promise to write more soon. I am just going to take advantage that I am home and feeling sleepy at a reasonable time.

Sorry Steve for not keeping you entertained. F.Y.F.!!! I am still waiting for that drawing in the mail. Ahem...

I had a blast in San Francisco for New Year's. Here's a pic of me at Alcatraz; finally the skies had cleared up enough to take a pic with the bridge.

I will post a better blog possibly tomorrow. My ass is just way too tired right now.

one of my favorite shows

2008-12-27T10:24:00.001-08:00

I hope the movie is in the works.

career change?

2008-12-27T01:38:00.000-08:00

One of my favorite parts of flicks and shows are the opening sequences. I have a fondness with typography and music - this is another part of design I've been exploring and want to do more of. Hell maybe I'll get lucky in NY and get a job doing this.

I like the simplicity of this one.

This one is just so beautiful. I miss this show.

Wrap up!

2008-12-19T21:40:00.001-08:00

It feels good to finally be home on a Friday night. I've had an eventful week. Volunteering for the Eco Gift Expo was surprisingly fun. My job was to gift wrap gifts with Los Angeles Times papers, using hemp twine and some neat bows I made to go on the gifts as seen below.

It's incredible all the neat "green" products out there. I expected to encounter a bunch of dirty ass hippies on the contrary I saw a good mixture of people. Everyone friendly and ready to shop. Oh yeah that's my banner at our booth printed on recycled vinyl.

After an exhausting six hours volunteering, I was invited to the boys apt. The boys had decided to have a last minute get together. It was a wonderful evening with great people and good vibes. Plus it was nice to kick back and play ping pong while the boys cooked.

I am extremely lucky for working with such an amazing man. I love Jim, best boss ever. I love our morning horoscope readings and our 5pm whiskey shots at our desks. You can definitely see the great energy we extrude. We both poke fun at each other-It is tough love. I've learned sooo much from this man. ET MOI! ET MOI! ET MOI!

And because I am a nerd I give to you a Visual History of Apple Products, from the Apple IIe, iMac to the iPhone

Oh yeah- Laura,Vic and myself booked our muthafuckin tickets to San Fran for New Years!!!

oh no

Los Angeles really is beautiful. I love the fact that I can drive 30 mins west and be in Zuma Beach (Malibu) on top of a cliff overlooking the ocean. The hike and the view was amazing. I also love that I can take the "subway" in LA and be in downtown drinking at a Mexican bar in Olvera St., which is the birthplace of the City of Los Angeles, otherwise known as El Pueblo Historic Monument. Wandering around the marketplace I came across these handcrafted Mexican items.

And finally saw one of my billboards in my neighborhood.

LA Orphan Thanksgiving

2008-12-01T19:33:00.000-08:00

A couple of us transplants weren't able to make it back home for Thanksgiving. Luckily we have each other. Roz and Ananta hosted a potluck Thanksgiving at their apt. It was quite the meal. Below are some photos and video from the lovely evening. I'm thankful to have such great friends.

my little zoo

2008-11-26T17:58:00.000-08:00

While Laura was cleaning out her closet today - she stumbled upon a bag of wax animals. It brought back memories two years ago, one of my best friends, Erik came out to LA from Miami, the week before my birthday. He took Laura and i to the best brunch spot in LA and then to the LA Zoo - our mission was to walk the whole zoo and collect ALL the animals. We didn't succeed but it was a day filled with laughs. It was a great birthday. Erik then surprised me and came out the weekend of my actual birthday. I am surrounded by amazing people. Truly am lucky.

The Lost Weekend

2008-11-23T22:07:00.000-08:00

pretty much sums up my Friday.

One of my favorite quotes of this film: Don describes to Nat (bartender) how he feels about his whiskey

"It shrinks my liver, doesn't it, Nat? It pickles my kidneys, yeah. But what it does to the mind? It tosses the sandbags overboard so the balloon can soar. Suddenly I'm above the ordinary. I'm competent. I'm walking a tightrope over Niagara Falls. I'm one of the great ones. I'm Michaelangelo, molding the beard of Moses. I'm Van Gogh painting pure sunlight. I'm Horowitz, playing the Emperor Concerto. I'm John Barrymore before movies got him by the throat. I'm Jesse James and his two brothers, all three of them. I'm W. Shakespeare. And out there it's not Third Avenue any longer, it's the Nile. Nat, it's the Nile and down it moves the barge of Cleopatra. Come here,"

Nat then pours Don a drink

Gotta love NY

You just have to read Erik's post today. Made me chuckle.

how does a shy person maintain a blog? I haven't a clue but am willing to take on the challenge. I will be posting sweet discoveries that interest me and possibly you. I will also throw in some ranting. Enjoy.
