dancing with the starz

i’ve been uploading photos of scotland this morning but i realize i’m going to have to do a little bit of work looking up specifics about the queen mary to share with you, so right now i’m just going to post these photos of this charity event that...

the fancy state dinner at the white house tonight

i just read about the state dinner they’re having at the white house tonight, right this very moment, probably…and i just want to know why they’re having it in a tent.  is the white house being cleaned?  are there no free rooms? i’m sure there...

scotland

finally some more photos…i was going to post all these photos in a timely manner, remember? this is our last day in Glasgow; we took the train on wednesday morning from edinburgh to glasgow, and spent one night there.  i wanted to go to the university museum...

one wild photo (of rijstaffel, of course)

today might be the last warm day of the whole year and instead of being outside enjoying it i’m in here reading more about rijstaffel. i looked up recipes and found this photo.  the guy who posted it actually got it from a restaurant in  bali called Ketupat...

right there in westwood…

i just found a restaurant in LA called Ramayani Westwood.  I could have easily gone there when i worked in west LA and drove back home to west hollywood.  i know i was so close to the place so many times… its located at 777 Westwood Blvd . Los Angeles . CA ....

Rijsttafel, or a reason to clean

the night before last i was awake for about an hour, and for some reason i decided to obsess about the huge amounts of stuff in our basement.  kevin has made great strides in cleaning it out, but there are still many many many things down there, and some of them are...

what will she do now?

taylor swift won entertainer of the year award last night at the country music awards.  plus she won four others – best video, best female vocalist, and album of the year. so, what will she do, now that she’s achieved everything she’s wanted to...

watching the country music awards…

we COULD be watching “the office” which i’m TOTALLY OBSESSED WITH right now.  but this morning i ordered seasons 1-5 online and they will hopefully be here soon so i don’t have to fast-forward through all the commercials on the DVR all the time...

two censored halloween photos…

my friend linda, instead of being a sexy witch or something more suitable to her loveliness, this year came to our party as a…flasher. not just any run-of-the-mill flasher, either.  she sported a custom-made appendage, the likes of which you are not likely to...

good things and bad

good thing – i finally cut my bangs. bad thing – i finally cut my bangs. see, amy cuts hair for a living and she always says “i can cut your bangs any time because it only takes two minutes.” i’ve cut my own bangs plenty of time, but...

wednesday morning

and i’ve added a new link so you can e-mail me.  but then when i tested it, it tried to get me to open a new server thing and type in the POP and all of that, so i added a note in case this also happens to you. so if you feel like sending me an e-mail, you can...

photos photos photos…

think i already wrote about our friends tim and gina…she was an octomom and he was this scary guy from the movie “trick or treat.”  we wore a custom-made burlap bag over his head, and underneath the bag was this horrible rubber mask.  my aunt sandy...

happy birthday, big brother!

today is my brother david’s birthday.  we’re going out for dinner tonight…at some point yesterday i decided i’d make dinner, instead, but after spending a great chunk of the day deconstructing halloween around here, i decided to rethink that...
