Yup, that's what all us Californians have been hearing about the weather out here for the next week, and so far it's looking to be true.
I however am a fan of the rain, and personally believe we need it out here. It does put a damper on work though. I'd rather be at home snuggled in my bed watching a movie or playing a video game.
So the latest news is that I was sort of offered another Tour Manager gig, but had to turn it down due to it lasting throughout 2010. Also it was a little low in price range for me from what I understand, but it seemed like it would be fun none-the-less.. Hopefully a buddy of mine will get the gig instead and I'll get to hear about his adventures and maybe see him later on this year.
The other good news was a I finally saw Avatar and got chills (literallly) from watching it. I was a little disappointed by the Alice In Wonderland Trailer. It was more of a teaser trailer then the actual full length version I was hoping for in 3D. Movie will probably be sick though.
Tonight I'm going to put together my shelves and clean my place up. Probably throw in a little bit of laundry and movie watching on the old computer. Maybe even throw out a couple of things and make some soup!
Happy MLK Day!

Old2New
Well I suppose it's time for an update for the new year.
Christmas was fun, but quite draining. I was very tired throughout the trip and when I returned back to LA I had to go straight back to working alot. One of my jobs tends to lay the work hours on hard whenever i come back from taking time off....I suppose in the future I should just request my first day back in town off too so i can recover.
The rest of the year was spent moving and working. New Year's Eve was celebrated in a traditional Mary B fashion where I didn't party or celebrate at all. Kinda like it that way, I never have to worry about what I'm going to do because I'm always working or have something planned out ahead of time. That morning was spent at Lush, after that i rented a truck and grabbed moving gear, then went to a wedding, was there for a bit, then drove down to my old house, and loaded my truck with my remaining furniture. I thought i'd already missed it striking midnight then heard Jed the fish on some radio program say 'happy new year!' as i was cruising on the 101 back to the valley. It was relaxing driving on the freeway watching the fireworks, but made me feel kinda lonely too, but in a good stable way? meh.
then the new year happen and woot woot! here we are!
Umm....let's see, my new place is coming along nicely, right now I'm focusing on my kitchen area. I went to IKEA this past weekend to savor in their free breakfast and inexpensive (sort of) furniture. I picked up some chairs and a stool and lots of pots, pans. plates. and cookware. I can't wait til the kitchen is all settled in, then it'll be time to make lots of tea and cook a bunch!!
The next big objective for my place is to find a fridge that will suite me good. I went over to Sav-on this evening and found a few options which gave me some good ideas for a price range to start with. I'll probably search around a little more though before committing to anything. Another concern on my mind is having trouble finding an emerald green curtain for my kitchen. It's an essential part of the home decor! That, and painting a few objects, like my table, which I plan on starting tonight.
Probably next weekend I'll move over to the bedroom area a bit and go ahead with buying these tall bookcases to act as a room divider for my single. soon as that's good and ready I can then get a better idea as to what to do with my living room space.
Earlier this week I also met with my good friend Emily Simonian to discuss getting the ball rolling on marketing strategies for her and also on a tour for the summer/fall. I'm kinda excited to get back into the mix of this as I did it last year for Courtenay Green. This time however there's no money i'm being paid so i'm not going to get stressed and feel bad if I can't commit all my time to helping Em. Also I'm gonna see if she can help me with some freelance writing when she has the time as her sister's in the publication business.
My music has been put on a stand still with the moving and constant changes I've been going through, but I think that after it's done I'm going to give it to my friend, Scotty and get his opinion on what to do next besides the obvious 'play shows' answer I know he'll probably give me. I also want to go to a few auditions this year and maybe work with a band again. I went to a co-workers birthday party last night and it kept reminding me of high school. Like, how everyone one knows everyone playing the show and mostly its all the people playing who act also as the crowd watching, but there are a regular friends that show up to support you too. There were a few guys that played who had the same manorisms? as some friends of mine I used to play with so that made me a little sad thinking of my Philly boys.
but hey! that's the past! I'm in the present! and now it's time for me to listen to a movie while i paint and then take a sexy bath, followed my some snuggle time in my bed!!!
hzah!!
p.s. just saw the list of artists that are on the new Alice in Wonderland Soundtrack.....can't wait to nab it and hope for the best.
