Where the heck is my remote control?

Bonus Q: How do I manage to misplace it so often?

Bowe is still MIA

Please remember Bowe and his family in your prayers during the Christmas Season

Why do we not hear about Bowe in the News ?

Holiday bows

and now am in the holiday spirit!

I had breakfast with MisterJT and mentioned that my volunteering to gift wrap for the animal shelter really did fill me with holiday cheer. Mellemusic helped out and we were pretty slammed from the moment we sat down. We made $120+ dollars during out shift and everyone was just great. The shift was for 4 hours and I swear, I have never wrapped that many presents in one sitting. We joked around with everyone and people were just in fantastic moods.

Also, I met some more awesome people who volunteer at the shelter and they had the best stories ever. I love that place! One of the volunteers, Scott, is actually part of the Happy Tails program, where they give the dogs obedience training to prepare them for life with a family. He was so interesting and I swear, he and his wife have had about 20 million different jobs - one included making ice cream, another graphic design, another dog trainer..so you really can do anything you want :)

Now, I'm back at BPL and I am happy to say that I was able to make some little gifts for all the kids in my life. There are 15 of them total. 1 high schooler, 3 itty bitty ones and 11 elementary school and toddler age. I made little grab stockings of the 11 and then since 1 is in high school, I'll get her something different and the 3 little ones need something different too. I really didn't think I could afford presents with all the car trouble I experienced but you know, for little kids, I thought it was important to get them some thing even if it isn't a giant toy.

I finally picked up some holiday cards as well. But you know, I never send those out in a timely fashion anyway so as long as it arrives before new years it's ok, right?

Hope everyone is having a great holiday season and if you are traveling - safe travels! Happy holidays to you and yours!!!   

No, I can't read anything written in Cyrillic alphabet. No, I'm not telling you who the hell I'm voting for because hello! Voting season has passed idiot! No, that picture of a bunch of boxed up books isn't cute...it's a picture of boxed up books!!!! GO AWAY!

Tokyo Biggest Tech Party Ever took place last Thurs. Dec 17th in Roppongi at a club named 57. There was a good turnout of reportedly 400+ people attending. The Poken guys were there as were a group selling a dedicated offline Wikipedia device. I saw and talked with many of the regular Tokyo Technorati as well as some people I hadn't had the pleasure of meeting before. Below are some of the photos from the party, it was a great event.

Almost considered skipping the show tonight but soooo glad I didn't.

Traffic was HORRID - but it's LA, at the holidays, and the weather today was FANTASTIC (around 80) so I should have expected that.

Valet was $25... but they gave me a free carwash. Granted, it turned out to be a pretty shitty carwash - but it was free so, whatever!

The lineup was Royal Crown Review (very short set), The Ventures (THE original surf guitar band - over 100million records sold), the Brian Setzer Orchestra.

Brian never played guitar one-handed, which kinda bummed me out. But it was still a great show. I have a billion photos and video to sort through after I recharge the cell phone... or plug the micro sd card into a reader.

My knees were okay till about the time Brian Setzer came out. By then, they were thrashed. I had some empathy from the couple behind me (father & daughter) who also had knee/leg/foot problems. I got into the venue shortly before 8 and into my car round 12:15... 4+ hours of standing and/or walking. I would have done rude things for a drink after the show but nearly everything at Universal City Walk was either a disco or closed. So I did without...

...till I got back to Long Beach, where I stopped at Puka Bar for a drink... or 20 (I think it was actually 4).

I almost bought Crankypants a big carry-all bag at Universal CityWalk. It had something about being angry, or hating people, or something like that. Would easily work for me but seemed more "okay" if I got it for Cranky. But I eventually decided we could both do without it.

So now it's after 2a and I'm too awake (even after 4 mixed drinks) and tomorrow has only one commitment (hair color & cut at... 4??). I actually tried to run some errands today but I got there too late and the only errand I actually accomplished was getting fake eyelashes (they look GREAT).

late to bed, late to rise (makes a chick look lazy to morning people)
