The later summer got, the more antsy I got about wanting to learn to surf. So far it had been the only resolution that I hadn't at all attempted. Eric was a little hesitant because he was out of practice and we only had one board, but I finally convinced him.

About a month ago we took our first trip out to Manhattan beach. Obviously I was awful: I ( Read more... )

Another late one.

As I posted previously, the Fundraiser was a success. We raised a total of $3000 including the online donation site. I'm proud of all the support and all the help we received, and glad it's over. Christine is in Illinois with Lorna and the rest of the family; she was able to give Lorna the gift I mentioned briefly in an previous ( Read more... )

My photography has been really picking up lately. Last weekend, I dropped off two photographs at Pilates and Arts for their HOT! HOT! HOT! art opening/dance party. It's this Friday from 7-10 pm. This is the art opening that inspired my Monthly Adjective Project. Eric's also going to be showing a painting.

The fundraiser went well! I really regretted not having either multiple arms, or the ability to be in two places at once because OMG there was so much to do and keep an eye on. We ended up with so much more stuff than we thought we'd have, both in terms of donated items for sale and food. The majority of set up was basically playing a game of ( Read more... )

Finally getting around to telling you all about the fundraiser we've been planning for months to help Lorna Gillette with her medical bills while she vigilantly battles cancer. Anything underlined in this post is linked, go crazy, click ALL THE LINKS!

The amount of donations pouring in from amazing people all over the country has me so completely in ( Read more... )

Yesterday one of my dad's apartments in Silverlake caught on fire. Apparently the tenant accidentally left a lit cigarette somewhere in his room and *poof* the place went up in a freaking blaze. I found out about it on my way to work, and spent pretty much all of my evening getting information via twitter and @LAFDTalk. Nobody was hurt, thank ( Read more... )

Resolutions!

Three more weeks til the fundraiser! Things are beginning to fall into place and now we're collecting the last of the items and planning the event lay out. I promise I'll have a post soon with all the details. To go along with this, I've made a shit ton of new earrings for the fundraiser. I've got about 15 pair, with a couple more ( Read more... )

I know I'm really late for this, but this May's really really late Resolution Recap.

The fundraiser is at a bit of a standstill. There's only a month left of the donation website and we'd been hovering at $1300 for about a month now. My friend Travis helped me out a lot by selling my earrings at the Renaissance Faire. That made about $200 and ( Read more... )

It feels as though I've hit a bit of a brick wall creatively. I've been so stressed out with everything going on lately that I haven't really been putting 100% of myself into everything I do. I've been half-assing things a lot and yesterday it kind of bit me in the ass.

Yesterday was the Atwater Art Walk. Eric entered and won last year. I had ( Read more... )

Part 2

Aside from visiting Hemingway, the only other touristy thing I really wanted to do this trip was to snorkel. I used to snorkel more often here at home, usually at the coves of Laguna beach, lately it's been money for gas and time off from work keeping me from continuing. I know my tio Victor, Tia Idania, Mayito and Vitico are all snorkelers. ( Read more... )
