Together

I've been reading this book called "Half Life" before I go to bed each night. The story is about conjoined twins Nora and Blanche. Blanche has been asleep for 15 years and Blanche's subconscious is starting to seep into Nora's conscience. I have been having the strangest dreams at night from reading this. It is also oddly the second book in a row that I have read that talks about the effects of nuclear bomb tests in the Nevada desert and the effects of the test on the people that lived near by. Strangely both books tell the story of the military dressing pigs up in army uniforms and testing the effects on the pigs. After 800 pages of the book Underworld I thought a book about conjoined twins would be a far change of subject matter. I was wrong.

Turn the World Around

I watched all of Season 3 of The Muppet Show this last week and I totally loved Harry Belafonte on it. He is lovely. This was my favorite skit.

Another Fashion Post

I have a hot little Anthropologie gift card burning a hole in my pocket. At first I was going to use it to buy myself a birthday dress. Now I'm not sure I'm even going to do anything for my birthday but I still want to buy a dress. I have always wanted an Anthro dress but could never afford one. So I have been looking at all the on-line dresses. They posted the new catalogue today and boy do I think I found a winner. I just love the colors and the embroidery. However, I need to go try it on because sometimes I love their dresses and then I try them on and they look like giant sacks in person. I can't seem to be able to copy the photo and post it here. Here is a link if you are interested in where my heart is. It is so lovely.

Weekend Bootie

That was nice, a proper LA weekend. After New Years day off I had to be at work on Friday and it threw me off. Friday night I went to Big Wangs to celebrate Laurel's birthday. I was such tired sleepy person I ended up leaving at 11. It was fun times but I was disappointed in my body for wanting to sleep. On Saturday night a group of us met at Brian and Jessica's and then headed over to club Bootie at the Echopex to dance the night away. lots and lots of fun dancing. Sunday was pretty uneventful. I finally got a haircut. I've been too embarrassed about the state of my hair to go in for a trim. I'm glad I did because it feels and looks a world better. My hairdresser was a mean faced Eastern European lady but whatever. I touched up the color too and for the first time in over a month I actually enjoy the way it looks. Now on to a full week of work.

For the Birds

I saw this billboard yesterday and I'm not sure what it is about but I like it!

Hello 2009

Hello 2009! We gathered at Amanda's new apartment to say goodbye to 2008. Words can not tell you how jealous I am of Amanda's new place. It is so cute and I am green with envy. We drank and had a merry time.

New Years day was less merry for me. My landlord is coming by today to fix my showerhead when I am not there, because I am hear at work today. I wanted to make sure the apartment was as clean and neat as possible, it was in a state of disarray. So my tired and hung over self spent the whole day and night cleaning. My apartment has never been so clean, ever. It really looks great. Now I am back at work today and ready to have a proper weekend. More New Years photos of us hamming it up for the camera here.
