Happy first day of Autumn!

And it does feel like autumn, which is a-ok because though I love summer, autumn is the prettiest time of year here in good 'ol California...

Autumn also means school time, i'm taking a couple of classes to I can kick more ass and take more names in the workplace. So, if I disappear from the blogosphere for a few days at a time, i'm probably really busy sleeping...

It went from Summer to Autumn in one fell swoop...

We had a heatwave, which wasn't really all that bad, and now the mornings are getting overcast and, dare I say it...cold.

If you work in an office environment this may have happened to you...the air conditioning is still on in the morning.

It gets nice and warm in the afternoon...but mornings...mornings are polar bear time!

Walking a mile or three....

We walked to Tied House last night and hung out with Art before he begins his 10 hour drive back up to Washington State...in retrospect, why did we make the poor guy walk three miles to get some beer and a burger? Oh well, good times were had!

Now, I need to talk about something more pressing...the downfall of American Apparel. Not that I felt that they should ever have brought back the stirrup pants, but they were always kind of an overpriced bastion of safe and plain hoodies...but now, they assault us with this??!!??

A whole world of hell to the no! OMGWTFBBQ!!!??! It's like a Bowery crack whore modeling Salvation Army's finest throwaway fabric samples. The whole...print...and the whole...not matching...argh!! My eyes! All I can think is that it has to be a joke, like, if you clicked the link to look at it online a page would appear that says "Ha ha! Just kidding, suckers!" or something. I hope.

I'm now one of those people...

...who fall asleep at 10 pm...at the party.

I woke up an hour later with a blanket and hardcore snuggling a stuffed panda.

I'm surprised that none of my co-workers got a picture of this. I think it was pretty amazing.

No luck with the food...

I tell ya, this has been the worst month and a half for my belly...first dysentary, and last night I had the worst food poisoning ever. Ugh, I was praying to the porcelain all night, and am so surprised I was able to peel myself out of bed to get ready for work today...

On the upside, I just got an email that today is PIZZA FRIDAY!!! How much does my job rock?! I'm almost over having had my cubicle changed, and now it's all about the pizza and the designing and the what-not...good times!

Lets just hope the delicious pizza stays where it belongs...

It wasn't a joke, it wasn't funny, and for once...

...i'm dead serious. Everyday i'm alive is a gift, and I won't forget.

Be a little bit nicer today, remind those you love how much you care, and take the time to enjoy the peace and beauty around you in the everyday...

The Burrito was a disappointment...

I spent the last hour at work thinking about this burrito I wanted to make, and how great it would be, especially with the orange sauce I bought at La Vic, but it wasn't that great, really. I ended up throwing half of it away in dismay.

The week is already half over, it's a Wednesday and it's also my ma's birthday...i'm taking her out for an early dinner tonight, because, really, I have no idea what else to get her. And who doesn't like a quiet dinner? I can't think of a one...mostly because i'm far too lazy...

My laziness has been getting worse in the evenings...usually, i'm a cleaning machine, or a crazy-i'm-making-wacky-art-machine...and now, well..now i'm just a lounge-around-and-be-lazy-machine.

I found the Skinny Jeans!

Now, there are prolly a ton of 15 year olds shaking their heads and saying, "Well, duhv's...old people are so slow..."
But whatever,

Yes, that bastion of teenage sluttery, Wet Seal, has the jeans that rival the ones I found in Scotland. While others' may say, "You can get skinny jeans all over , these are $25 . So there.

I'm serious when I say i'm serious about the sleep...

Today was the first day in a very long time i've overslept...

I've been cleverly cajoled...

...into signing up for a fundraiser golf tournament. As in, i'll be playing 18 holes of golf. Now, I spent a summer working as a beer-slinger at a golf course, and there's some things I learned from it;

  • Golf really isn't my thing
  • Golf is expensive
  • Some people actually take it pretty seriously

Golf courses also usually have dress codes, and so i'll also probably have to get a polo shirt. Sigh.

This morning Nate and I are on our way to the driving range, yes....to hit golf balls...a happy Sunday morning to ya!

Saturdays, lazy Saturdays...

Saturdays are the days I sleep in late, and i'm no slacker, I take my sleep pretty seriously,

Though it's Saturday, I do have a full day lined up - as Nate just pointed out, I need to hop on my bike and ride!

Malaysia...

...looks like they have inhabitants that understand how I feel in the trailer park...

We are truly one, oh yes indeed...

Whatever you do today, it's FRIDAY! Make it rad!...

Being an adult means...

Having a totally different relationship with money than you did as a kid. Or, at least it's what i'm learning every single day.

I'm just broke this month, and hence, bummed...

In non-bummer-ness...i'm getting back into the swing of things, organization-wise, and I think ultimate cleanliness will soon be mine!!!

Little Dood has left...

For three or four days we had a small lizard, who I aptly named "Little Dood", who had taken up residence downstairs. He was great because we figured he was eating the ants and the spiders..

The best thing about Little Dood was how chill he was, you could pet him and he'd just be like, "yeah, whatever..." I guess he figured it was time to move on to bigger and better things...

Moving on...this month has been a spendy month indeed...usually, i'm not a big fan of the money spending, but this month it's been like water through the fingers...especially sucktastic when the mortgage and what-not comes through...as a result, i'm very positive that the partying will be put on hold for the remainder (and, yes I know it's only the third of September!!!!)

On that note, time to head off to work!

Yep, it rawked....

The concert was radness, my wallet is lighter, but it's okay!

hooray-concert.jpg

The only bummer thing was the crazy doods that stand there with picket signs and a bullhorn and tell you you're going to hell, and God hates metal music, and what a bad person you are, blah blah blah...I usually ignore them, but I found myself yelling at them , what a waste of my time...

ANYWAY! It's a beautiful Labor Day Monday! If you haven't yet made plans, I strongly suggest you do something that involves the outdoors, good food, and tasty beverages...
