vince the cat

a customer of ours has been helping out our cat friends by capturing, neutering, and releasing feral cats in los angeles. she recently came across this amazing guy, who turned out to not be feral. he's super affectionate and wants to be loved, and was obviously someones pet in the past. he's the sweetest cat she's ever encountered. he had a painful infection in his leg which has been treated and is healing nicely. vince is now looking for a home.. if you or anyone you know is looking for a new friend, please consider vince.
email alison at violentrocket@gmail.com for more info. alison says "when people talk about how rescued pets are the most grateful, this is the guy they are talking about. he is the real deal."

i wish i owned my house. i'd instantly become crazy cat lady.

san francisco

we took a road trip to see my SF BFF, tiff. hannah's wearing her newest purchase, the amazing silver talon cuff.
we stayed at the clift where there was a lot of dramatic lighting and kooky furniture.
room service is my new favorite hobbythe red clift elevator that looks like a smoky sweaty dance club
this might have been when tiff killed her finger off and called 911 and almost died.
han got to ride the bike since she had the highest heelsmy fav part of the trip was finally seeing where tiff works, crown point press. they use all of the old printmaking techniques, and it's all produced at the gallery.
hearing tiff talk about this art made me want to buy every piece. even these plain blocks of color.hannah was so excited she immediately got straight to work. just kidding she hates art.
the last supper was at delfina's. the best pizza i've ever had besides for manhattan in encinitas. saying goodbye at delfina's was way too hard, so we kidnapped tiff. on the way down we learned a lot of stuff on hannah's internet phone. like the names of all of the different gatherings of animals. here are some good ones:
a murder of crows
a clowder of cats
a colony of bats
a charm of finches
a parliament of owls
a cast of hawks
a business of ferrets
a barrel of monkeys

the windmill movie

my friend jen's boyfriend, alexander olch finished his film, THE WINDMILL MOVIE and the LA premiere is next friday the 26th. the film depicts the life of filmmaker and alex's teacher, richard rogers (who curiously looks a lot like alex). rogers was working on a documentary about himself for 20 years and could never finish it, and after his death alex made this film from the pieces. see the trailor and order tickets here.
a couple selby photos of alex in his insane perfectly cluttered home.
alex also makes ties, which are sold at OPENING CEREMONY

kitty and kitchen news

somehow, pizza's new name became pizza man. he's terribly cute. there's definitely still a robot inside of him.
then sometimes he looks like this when he hunts and goes mentaland he accidentally breaks things like my vintage ceramic deer family on the kitchen table.i decided to save one fawn with broken ears for the window sill
in other kitchen news, nova loves the new curtains i made.and this is my luxirare style photo of how i start most meals i make.. sizzling garlic.
btw, i recently made the pear/blue cheese/mascarpone cheese/arugula/honey pizza i saw on luxirare and it was FUCKING INSANE! add more blue cheese and salt than you think to make it more savory. i don't have photos because we ate it too quickly. so i'll leave you with a couple bffs.
