July Bloom Gloom

Hey-o

So the weather's been kinda wacky this month. I haven't felt this supposed 'fryin' pan' feeling that happens in the valley every summer. Makes me kinda happy i'm still missing out on this and won't burn.

Anyways, I've been off the grid for a while. Mostly due to fixing up my place and getting ready for a few big events in August. One actually being the arrival of Petie D! I think he actually arrives tomorrow?! As of now the only thing that's a set plan is going camping with him and an assortment of others over next week.

Other things...

-visitng San Fran to see Alyssa (hopefully) and Dan (probably)
-dinner with ms. amie & john
-miniature golfing with the crew soon
-possibly roller skating with some CS peeps this saturday

Alright well, gotta get these errands done and do some writing. My buddy at work Mike Maye is expecting 3 tracks from me sometime on Sunday..eeek!

No Road to Wander

So my lack of entries has been high as of recent, which inevitably means my life has been quite busy!

To cut to the nit and grit, I was offered another TM job back with IMG Live for their DirecTV tour, unfortunately this coincided with the opportunity to advance further with my current job at CenterStaging. Weighing my options and checking my finances, I ultimately chose CenterStaging. I think it's a good choice, although right now I am suffering from a major aching for the road and keep on planning 2-day mini vacays to San Fran and Vegas in my head..I'm sure this will benefit me in the long run though, and possibly the opportunity to tour in the future is still afoot.

While being stuck here in one place for the summer does sound a little off, I'm going to try to make the most of it by takings some small trips outside of Los Angeles, as well as take some lessons surfing or something fun like that...I was even thinking going to try for working a little over at Filter Magazine again...suppose we'll just have to see how it all pans out.

Other news, well I have been lagging a bit on finishing up my place. I put up some shelves and new frames, but have a wayz to go. I'm kinda stuck on what to do with one wall in my kitchen, I want to put up a calendar, or poster, or tiny shelves, but nothing is really sticking in my mind yet.... Also I need to get a smaller bed frame for my sleeping area. I have a queen bed, but this blasted air conditioner is making the frame awkward as of now, so downsizing is in order.

One of the newest additions to my pad is the Gustav Klimt "The Kiss" painting. Last week I was randomly at the mall and there was a frame/painting shop going out of business. Alot of their items were severly marked down and the one just staring at me through the glass was this painting.


I've always wanted to get it, although I thought it would be a poster, not an oil painting. My mom's fav artist is Gustav Klimt, and this painting in particular is in my parents house. Story behind it is my dad gave my mom the painting. I always thought that was very sweet of him, and now I can hang it up and think of them. Phew..that sounds sooo cheezy, but it's true. I don't have any pictures of them surprisingly enough, suppose I should fix that problem too.

Anyways, tomorrow's gonna be another day off so I have a few plans already in action. One being an afternoon trip to the movies. Tonight I'm gonna cook some Amish Bread my friend, Danyelle, hooked me up with, this pesky tomatoe pie i've been putting off making, and some banana bread. I actually am gonna need to go to the store to get some ingredients like milk, a roller, a few tomatoes, and probably some baking powder. I think I'll make the banana bread for our Friday Morning Breakfast at Centerstaging. I like baking, but don't like to have a whole lot of semi-sweet products just chilling at my place. This would be a good way to eliminate excess sweets.

In the future though, I've decided to have Sunday Sit-Downs, which basically consists of me cooking a new meal each Sunday from scratch. I am hoping this week to make Thai Green Curry. I went to a Thai place a few weeks back with Nancy and Tracy for Thai and it was pretty awesome. People at work were also talking about Thai the other day, which has reignited my craving for it. After that, I'll probably grab something from one of my recipe books...or maybe just make hush puppies and crawfish etoufette!


Alright, well now a quick update on my webpage and I"m off to the store.

Chow.
