12 OF 12 FEBRUARY, 2008
Oh man...better late than never, right? My little iPhoto problem was solved this week and I was finally able to download all my 12 of 12 photos. So...here we go...
12 photos of my life on the 12th of February, 2008 - The iPhone edition!!!
7:57am - Oh..hello there. Let me introduce you to my lovely iPhone: iVan the Terrible. He's adorable. A fun machine! And now he's waking me up on my day off at 7:57 in the goddamn morning!!! iVan...SHUT UP!!!
9:49am - I had a very busy day. It's very hard to be a rockstar. So much to do. And all in the name of rock. This is me making my flyer for my show on the 18th. I make them old school style on MS Word. What can I say...I'm a whore for the Word.
12:05pm - Mmmm...banananana. This is breakfast. Oh so delish! Time to shower and get ready for the world.
1:51pm - So, on the way out the door, my friend Ben called me to try to convince me to go back to working for Real Estate Agents. And, although the money is oh so tempting...I just can't compromise myself again. Anyway...here I am at the Kinko's on Vine St. in Hollywood doing my very important rock star work. You know...slicing and dicing the flyers that make people come to my shows.
2:39pm - I then stopped by my work to score some free hot cocoa. I gave up coffee for lent and have replaced my milky au laits with milky hot cocoas. The best part - our dutch cocoa sauce is dairy free...so my soy cocoa's don't make me sick! :) This is Susie..one of my coworkers and one of the coolest chicks I work with. I love this girl.
3:11pm - So...my main goal for the day was to make it to The Lost Souls Cafe where I had a show this past monday to drop off flyers for said show.
4:48pm - I originally wanted to take a hike in Malibu Canyon today, but I got a late start. So, I settled for poopy Runyon Canyon. Why poopy? Because everyone takes their dogs and they crap all over the place. Still..pretty views. But, I fucked up. I normally hike Runyon counter clockwise, going up the steps first and then working my way downhill the rest of the way. It's harder that way...and I like it. But, I was feeling a bit tired so I took the easy way and went clockwise. Big Mistake!!! If you thought those steps were a bitch on the way up..try making your way down them. I ended up falling twice and pulling a muscle in my right thigh. It's my fault really...I'm completely clumsy and accident prone. But...the pretty views. Hello, Los Angeles. I love you.
7:45pm - On the way back home from the city, I stopped by Trader Joes, Whole Foods, and CD Trader. These are my groceries. Mmm Mmm good!
7:59pm - Oh my...I'm such an important person. While putting away my groceries, I got a call about doing the music for a Quinceanera. So, I charmed the lady and took down the details. Yay for getting paid to sing!
8:17pm - These are the CDs I bought. $35 for 6 CDs! Score!! I love CD Trader. Best used music store in the valley. Yes...hella better than dopey Second Spin. I ended up getting: Aretha Franklin's Greatest Hits (the only CD that had both her covers of Spanish Harlem and Bridge Over Troubled Water), Patsy Cline's Hits (to further my country education), Gillian Welch's "Hell Among the Yearlings" (the only album of hers I was missing), Sharon Jones and The Dap-Kings "Naturally" (amazing and includes her killer cover of This Land is Your Land), Cat Stevens Hits (because he's amazing), and Mark Ronson's "Versions" (fucking fantastic!!! An album of covers that will rock you senseless!). Yay for music!
10:11pm - I spent the next 2 hours making sweet sweet music on my piano while my new music found a home on my compy. I had written a new song and was getting it ready for the show. When E. got home, we iChatted it up.
11:21pm - Well, hello iVan. Time to set my alarms for tomorrow. I have to set 3 alarms because waking up is a very traumatic experience and I find it hard to deal with it all. And yes...that is 3:00 in the morning. I had to open the next day. Hello 3-hour sleep!
B O N U S P I C !!!
3:21pm - My bonus word was "Compelling". And let me tell you - my little jaunt into downtown today made me fall in love with the city and I now feel compelled to live here. It feels like home.
And there you have it. A very busy day in the life of a rockstar. :) But, seriously..it was good stuff...even if I did get laughed at for falling amongst the plastic people on Runyon Canyon.
Poop can Suck It!
