such a perfect day

tiff and calvin visited from sf. we went to the la jolla cove.

and did some laying in the grass.california blue skies then we went to keno's to celebrate fun. hannah's hair has been blowing minds lately.a lot of games and tricks were playedthe night ended at the saloon with a round of tackitt shots

favorite day of 08 so far.

food eater

we hosted a melting pot luck take out dinner party. sometimes i just try to find reasons to get these people to come to my house.

the art teacher

we saw rufus wainwright play solo. he kept staring at my outfit and forgetting his lyrics.

my friend blue

blue had the flu. so we've been spending a lot of quality time at the canyon lately. it's our favorite place to go and think about stuff.

blue thinks about all of the other male dogs that he wants to make out with, and how much parmesan cheese he'll get on his food tonight.

i think about daniel plainview, and how i need to start drinking more shirley temples.

art party

the bees were here. and christina got a new haircut. but these photos aren't about that.

we went to an art show.

much more about joe pease later

the artists

then we went to the whistlestop for bootie bassment. after a few drinks it was totally awesome. kimmy wore her dance gear and danced the CRAP out of the dance floor, and josh said the words "my number one" 400 times.

there is magic all around you

john and i have lurked on this website for years, and i finally just made a purchase the other day. johanna's art inspired by stevie nicks.

this might be my favorite stevie song today: IF ANYONE FALLS
especially the part where the 'shadow up against the wall' lyrical explosion happens.

stevie's been inspiring late night dance parties in our bedroom lately. she'll always be one of the greatest.

i can see myself in you

when i was about 14 my godmother michele took me to see aretha franklin. that's an amazing thing for an aunt to do for a young shy fry of a girl.
my aunt was dancing her tits off and saying over and over "why is everyone sitting?". i was too shy to get up and dance with her but i still knew she was the coolest person at the riverside theater, besides for maybe the queen of soul herself.

the new erica weiner "black fist" necklace reminds me of my dark skinned sicilian godmother michele. this one is for all the strong black women out there.

blog post soundtrack:
aretha franklin "never loved a man"
cat power's cover of "aretha, sing one for me"

update: after posting this, neighbor amy made me aware of the current aretha. i haven't kept track of her sister act type of self (she's probably made a few christmas albums too) and i didn't know about her unacceptable disrespect for our friends. shame on you aretha.

opposite day

a few weeks ago i went to an asr party. i can't remember the last time that happened to my brain. the party was for john's friend olly.

did you know the word ollie is in the dictionary now? an old lady stopped john in mid shred today to tell him that. it was also kimmy's birthday. also i was sober the whole time.

but i have to admit, i had a lot of fun that night. it might have had something to do with the fact that JASON LEE was there. it meant a little less to me than it would have a few years ago before his tv show that's not funny, but i was still fanning out. not enough to get a proper picture with him.

only of the back of his head.

and his gulu.

is that an expression or just her face?

either way, juliet burke's face sucks. but what about last nights amazing episode?? about as banging as christina was back in high school.

i only hear what i want to

a special valentine from freckle face to you.
