LOST

We're going to see Dirty Projectors on Halloween in Echo Park... We're not dressing up. I was going to be a Canada Goose and Derek was supposed to be a Bald Eagle but we decided to postpone those plans until next year so I can save up to buy all those feathers.

So...

... now that this year's baseball season is over, when is next season going to start?

Yeaaahhhhhh!

Kermy

This is Kermy. He lives in the office plant by my desk. I put him there. I found him on my lunch bag when I got to work in the morning. I think he was a stowaway from the fridge at home. I believe he originally came from the Farmer's Market.
He was living peacefully in the plant until one of my coworkers accidentally knocked it off the shelf. I found Kermy crawling on the ground and put him back in the plant where he belongs. Now all my coworkers know about Kermy. He's kind of hard to see. He's right in the middle of the picture.

Another day in the hood...

Yesterday was Canada Thanksgiving. We made mashed potatoes and green beans and roasted carrots and brussel sprouts and butternut squash soup and Derek made a turkey breast and we had pumpkin pie for dessert. 2 Thanksgivings are better than 1.

More ACL

My wrist band was too tight. And that's one of the dresses I made. You like?

Derek, me and Teresa waiting for the band to start.

Muddy feet on the last day of the Fest. Thanks for the photos George!

ACL (mud) FEST 2009

We spent the weekend in Austin, Texas at the City Limits Music Festival. 3 days of people and music and rain and beer and mosquitoes and tacos and a hot dog flag turned Zilker Park into a giant mud puddle. And it was totally worth it. I can't wait for our next family vacation!!! Thanks ma!
Here are some photos I swiped off of Flickr.

Is that David Grohl?

Red Bull Soapbox Los Angeles

I have a cool video of two guys parachuting out of a helicopter that I'm going to try to post.

100th Anniversary of Santa Monica Pier

We got yelled at today while we were riding bikes on the street. This guy driving a truck honked at me for blocking him from making a right turn. So, of course I gave him the stinkeye and as he was driving by he said 'You're not a car you know'. And I told him 'You're not a car either'.

Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!

We went and saw the Yeah Yeah Yeahs at the Greek last night! It was super! Besides the show being awesome, we got in the front row of a stacked parking line, no one at Will Call, and the 2 seats in front of us were the only empty seats in the whole theater. Sweet! Can't wait to see them again in Austin.

Can you see the eyeballs? KO!

sewing is dangerous

I burned my foot on a George Foreman Grill.... no, just kidding ... I kicked an iron, well not really kicked but accidentally touched an iron with my foot. You see, I don't own an ironing board so I have to iron on the floor, which has never been an issue before because I usually don't iron my clothes - ever. But recently, I've been ironing a lot since I've been attempting to sew. Anyway, my foot is sick looking. Cool, huh?
Now that I think of it, I'm 99% sure that I've owned a small table-top ironing board in the past. I wonder where that is...

Drowning in Smoke

The smoke is just sitting over LA and I had ash on my car this morning. Crazy.

Hot Smoke.

Trini Rum. Yum.
