Figures it would be a billion degrees the one week I have to spend every evening in my office working on stuff. I don’t know how the cats do it, what with wearing a luxurious fur coat at all times. Montag is the sweetest little dude and follows me like a shadow, so he’s been […]
Finally made it out to Fosselman’s on Sunday, lactose intolerance be damned.
We always kinda end up at Permanent Records on a whim. Saturday was no different.
The best way to beat the current oven-like temperatures of the house is to go somewhere with fridge-like ones instead. What better place than the one where they store dead bones and thousands-of-years-old artifacts? To the museum we go!
…but I finally made it to a Dodgers game. Which coincidently was also my first baseball game. That means I’m a real Angeleno now, right?
Tuesday, people decided they didn’t want to hang out with me ((I’m paraphrasing. Also, this might be a lie.)), so I said SCREW YOU ALL, and took myself out for lunch at the Observatory.
I was pretty stoked when I snipped the last piece of thread on the Illuminati Pet Lizard Man. Partly because it was done so quickly, but mostly because I couldn’t wait to give it away.
Cats, food, lack of pants, jog trail, and more cats. EXCITING.
Finished the first Such & Such last week. There are about 4 more in the queue, but I decided a couple of days ago that I wanted to try something more involved line-work-wise and started stitching up this guy. It’s building up surprisingly quickly, and am hoping I can slack on some work that’s due […]
Sometimes I wonder what I did to be able to count so many talented people amongst my friends. When my Ma once told me I was just one lucky bastard, she may have been onto something.
You know how, according to the legends, the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach? The way into mine is way easier, not legendary, and doesn’t even involve money or cooking skills. All you have to do is mention ‘dinosaurs’ and draw me monsters, and my clothes fall off. Instantly. Or, as it […]
Well, the Somis Nut House isn’t technically in Ojai, obviously. But we did stop on the way back from Ojai, so it counts. I do what I want, damnit. Walnuts give me rashes ((To be fair, so do pineapple and salami. And whole host of other things, like my own cat.)). So one might assume […]
Sometime last week, I suggested to Michelle we take a trip to Ojai, just so we could get out of the city for a bit. Thanks to years and years of dragging her to places at the last minute without planning, she readily agreed, and we set the course to Ojai, so we could pay […]
This time, the Secret Stairs took us through a quick jaunt through the Highland Park hillsides.
Made this for Michelle Sunday morning before the Tweedles came to take us away on another secret staircase hike. It’s been ages since I’ve embroidered anything, but I’m pretty pleased with the way this came out, especially considering I winged the whole thing, drawing and all. Next time I’ll plan better, and make actual sketches, […]
Here are a bunch of crappy doodles. Some of them are things said in meetings, others stem from conversations about other people’s childhoods. Mostly they are bad drawings about nothing in particular.
Anyone who’s met me and spent more than a half hour in my company can probably confirm this: I have a weird fascination with grocery stores. It’s time to replenish the fridge and it happens to fall on a weekend? You bet your sweet, sweet ass I’m going to be foaming at the mouth at […]
When the Tweedles were here a few weeks ago, it was to hike through the neighbourhood staircases, gawk at the local architecture, and learn some histories. Oh, and sweat. That was bonus.
Late night ramen run with Johnny and Paris at Koraku in Little Tokyo.
