two great visuals...
Driving to work can be tedious. I want to send two special thank-you to West Hollywood for breaking up my commuting monotony this morning ( Read more... ) -
Catchin' up...
Los Angeles is a city based on the principal "it is all in who you know". Getting the right words into the right ears, or papers on the right desk ... presto! It is the foundation of business (and a majority of the social scene) out here.
( And for once, it is playing in my favor! ) -
It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood...
It has been just over 6 months since my move to the West Coast and I think just last week was the first time that I unconsciously thought of my apartment as "home" rather than "where I'm living". It is a subtle distinction, but significant. My little West Hollywood finally feels like home. I recognize my neighbors (both in my building and the ( Read more... ) -
Vote for the pretty lady! (links are TOTALLY NSFW!)
A friend of mine, Isobel Wren, is up for an honor or two. She's a possible Fan's Choice Guest of Honor.

Keeping the pact...
Quiet here on the west coast this week. Weekends full of sunshine and hiking, meals and conversation. Weekdays full of work and cleaning and laundry. I am SO damned cosmopolitan tha I can barely stand it ( Read more... ) -
Leveling up and moving up ...
I've always been a geek. Or a nerd. Or whatever.
The first book I can remember reading - the first book that wasn't a Golden Book and had more words than colors and pictures - was Stephen King's Carrie. I couldn't have been much older than 5 or 6 and I certainly didn't fully understand even a fraction of what I was reading. But I read the ( Read more... ) -
a weekend of entertainment...
Friday brought a disappointing commedia-inspired performance of The Miser. Not only was it a particularly uninspired translation/update (bringing it into modern day California), there was not of the physicality that one expects in seeing a performance by a troupe that advertises itself as "the premier commedia company in the US".
