This is the only photo of my grandfather that I've ever seen, and it's not even in focus. It would seem that my entire family has problems taking pictures IN FOCUS. Sheesh.
Half-ass photo restoration is my favorite!

This mornoon, Anne brought over 2 cups of sugar for my patented Back of the Bag Recipe Cranberry SauceTM. What kind of Mayberry shit is that?!

The new U2 is making me fall in love with everything all over again. The first few listens were like, "Hmmm," but now they're like, "Awesome!"

I need to pack for my excursion to wine country with Paul Giamatti Danielle!!!

I hate entries like these. You're a sucka for reading it. I'm a prince for writing it.

An altar outside some restaurant with a long, long line at Bazaar del Mundo. A preview of events to come. Self-explanatory. My HUGE mango margarita, best ever. CASA DE PICO IS THA BOMB!!! Abused cactus, macro-style. Spencer. I drew the John Edwards one... I'm satisfied with it. That margarita really ruined me today.

Me and the Bean. [03 Oct 2004|10:39pm]

Yesterday:


Today:


Wedding:
At first I was not planning on going... family pressure made me cave. I dreaded it, and at first it didn't seem so bad. It was great to meet my brother's fiancee, and it was nice seeing everyone at first, but it was overwhelming and by 7 o'clock I wanted to go to my room and sleep. Once I got past the initial excitement of seeing relatives that I am fond of, the night went downhill. Breakfast this morning was just too much. I'm happy for my cousin, and she looked so happy, and the wedding and reception were fun and tasty (not so much the DJ), but I cannot handle my family, even when they are in good spirits like they were yesterday. I hate re-meeting the same cousins, I hate answering questions, I don't like being known as Bill's daughter.
But I did dance with my dad, and that was nice. And more than anything, it made me miss my mom. I hate when they ask about her. I understand why, but I still hate it.

(Thank you for rescuing me, Amanda.)

Ugh, I just thought of how big a mess my brother's wedding is going to be. Frick.

I Dreamt That. [26 Sep 2004|02:24pm]

[ music | neutral milk hotel - "where you'll find me now" ]

Rimma was in my car, and we were driving to get dinner, and there was what seemed to be a flash fire to the left of the freeway, and it was growing FAST, so I freaked out and pulled over, and then I decided to get back on the road to drive away from the fire. And my car just could not go fast, it was not shifting into gear, and I could feel the heat from the fire, and I was too scared to look at it, and Rimma looked and yelled, "Holy shit, it's not a fire, it's a face!" and I looked over and it was actually a face made of fire, and Rimma said, "It's God!!!" and I said, "Um, wouldn't that be SATAN?!?!" and then I woke up.
