IT'S BEEN TOO LONG!! That's  because I'm allsmilingtoomyselfandgigglinglikeanidiot, fair territory for someone who is enjoying what's going on in their life. 

I should recap the bday bash: After work Scott, myself and Ian all headed to El Carmen for dra-zinks and a bite to eat.  My invite was this: "I'll be at El Carmen from probably 6:30 to 9:00, show up if you can and hang, anytime.  Well, Dustin, Mandy, Kelly, Rebecca, Desiree, David, Meredith, Jas, Suki, Ed, Meghan, Marisa all showed up!  I got shot after shot after shot...there was about 8 pages of tequila on the menu. Day-um. At the end of the evening, say oh, 9:45, we walk out of the resteraunt and lo and behold, who does Mandy and Marisa spy? None other than Justin Timberlake.  SO, despite my drunken refusals, I'm dragged over and they request a picture of me with him for my bday, well, he looks at me says "It's not really your birthday is it." my response?: "oh yes it is, these fine ladies bought me seven shots".....then I put my arm around him, smile for pictures........and say, "I lied......It was NINE shots!" cackle, then stride away, back to my peeps on the sidewalk.

Good freakin times.

So currently, I'm busy bouncing between Venice and the valley house-sitting.  It makes coming back to my sweet pad in HW all the more rewarding.  I did get a call whilst I was drunken last night from Justice asking if we could switch rooms, he's got serious allergies and would enjoy the back bedroom (mine) and would I trade him for the more spacious front bedroom (his)?  My thoughts:

pros-direct access to the bathroom, bigger closet, windows for putting in an aircon unit

cons-hot, dusty, loud, LOUD

This comes into play as I usually wake up at around 6ish a.m. and any late night revelry that I'm not instigating would be a problem.  So I've got an appointment to sleep there next Sunday and Monday to test it out. 

And as far as my current obsessions, I'm on a plain fat-free yogurt and rice cakes kick.  I LOVE my yogurt, I cannot get enough of it and feel that it can go into any and all dishes.  MMMmmmm.....Oh yeah, and Cabernet is also a newbie, introduced by Jason.  I believe I'll be starting my newest photo project next week as well, it'll be about my roommates.  I haven't told them yet, but that's kinda the point. Josh recently came down and Amir, Jason and myself all got pretty sauced a good amount.  This is my fav photo though, this is our 'prep work' for getting out of the house and over to Venice to drink beer by the ocean.  I'd 'warmed up' with 3 Pacificos.  God, it's been good times as of late!!
