Wanna Get Away

2009-02-09T15:25:00.000-08:00

I booked a flight this morning to fly out of LA for the weekend. The name of the flights that I booked were an online special called "Wanna Get Away" which couldn't be more true. I am ready to get the hell out of LA and spend a quiet, reflective weekend at my South Lake Tahoe Condo. I will be surrounded by nothing but snow, a fireplace and wine. I won't even have the dogs. I plan to take this time to have a silent retreat and take a step back from my hectic Los Angeles life and re-organize my priorities - what makes me happy, what doesn't make me happy, and what will make me happy...genuinely happy. Hopefully I will gain positive reflection time while I'm there...instead of constantly thinking about why I left LA.

Snow, Trees, Wine, Fire, NO LA.

It was bring your dog to work day for the creative team. Mike brought his super puppy aged pug/cocker spaniel Nyla, krankel brought his 5 month old Min Pin Toby, Blake brought his chihuahua Widget (who's sitting on my lap right now) AAAND Jelly and Billy. Which by the way - TODAY IS BILLY'S BIRTHDAY!! She's 2. I love her so much. The dog dogs were a hit and everyone loved em.

Stuntkid Jason Levesque

2008-11-11T13:05:00.001-08:00

Last Friday I had a photoshoot with Jason Levesque also known as stuntkid. He's super cool and always has cool ideas. Not to mention, he's also a bad ass illustrator. It was originally planned to happen thursday night, but rescheduled for friday morning so the rice had to be refrigerated. And wet hair, cold rice, and balls in my mouth makes for a very cold, very awkward Cher. haha Here are a couple pictures from the shoot.

AAAAND the aftermath...

And the winner is...

I won the best costume award at work. At first glance, my co-workers thought I was a kid from the school across the street. Oh well, so much for using Halloween as an excuse to look sexy.

The procrastinated search...

2008-10-30T15:57:00.000-07:00

Halloween has never been the most exciting holiday for me. I've never had an experience memorable enough to be motivated to make exciting plans for the celebration. So, without any enticing plans ahead of me, I decided to show holiday spirit and look for a costume just IN CASE I found something exciting enough to do. If not, at least I'd have fun in my studio apartment fully clad in whatever cliche character is last on the shelf at "The Halloween Headquarters"

Here are a few costume ideas...

World's Smallest Body Builder

2008-10-28T11:54:00.000-07:00

At just 2ft 9in, Indian muscleman Aditya 'Romeo' Dev is the world's smallest bodybuilder. My friend Sean Krankel is the one who shared this tyke with me. After having a long, entertaining AIM conversation about 'Romeo' he at some point confused my AIM window with someone elses and said this:

SK: HIS SHORTS!
Other guy: whos?
SK: it's like a tiger and something else on a seesaw over his crotch
SK: oh wrong IM

For your enjoyment....

My Life told by the internet

2008-09-18T15:21:00.000-07:00

Lorenzo found this today and I don't think this could be more true about me. Especially the way I am with my love life.

In ancient Greek mythology, Gemini's ruler - Mercury, was the light-footed messenger of the gods who darted back and forth across the heavens delivering news - which might explain why those born under the sign of the 'Twins' are always on the move; thirsty for knowledge and new experiences. Terminally curious and sometimes even mischievous, Geminis are multi-faceted souls who enjoy knowing a little bit of everything but generally not too much about one particular subject. It's just that variety is the spice of their lives!

In Astrology, Geminis have also gained the reputation of being the incessant talkers of the zodiac. Those Twins that don't have the 'gift of the gab' are usually talented writers or have a special interest in foreign languages. In love, they look for a partner who can keep up with them mentally and physically! And, to quote Oscar Wilde, "there's one thing worse than people talking about you, that's people not talking about you." Whether Geminis like it or not, people are usually "talking about them". Together with Scorpio and Virgos, they are a sign that is often discussed, dissected and sometimes even put down by the other signs of the zodiac. Sometimes this is a subtle form of jealousy by others, because Geminis do lead very unique and unusual lives. The Gemini personality can appear mysterious or detached to others and therefore they are often misunderstood and unappreciated for the talents they offer to the world at large.

Another reason Geminis evoke so much interest is many born under this sign are multi-dimensionally talented. In money matters, some Geminis are very adept and quick at making it...and spending it too. Many Geminis are involved in international financial wheeling and dealing. They love the adventure and game playing involved in out-thinking other people. Gemini's can be very haphazard about their financial affairs too, with many of them ending up in divorce courts mainly because their partners have become tired of living on the edge of a financial precipice.

Cool guy Justin Bua

2008-09-17T11:22:00.001-07:00

My good friend and co worker Romeo (pronounce Row-mayo, not to be confused with Juliet's dude) said that Justin Bua was coming into the office to come visit. It was nice to meet such a well-known artist. He even knew some of the professors at my art school. Romes said we'd visit his studio sometime. I'd love to pick his brain and see where he gets all that creative urban juice!

Mr. Brainwash and How I am Convinced

2008-06-23T10:42:00.000-07:00

Quit your job right now and drive your broke ass to Sunset and El Centro where you can find the many interesting and sometimes funny works of Mr. Brainwash.

We had the pleasure of attending his exhibit the other day and it was pretty gangsta. Towering robots made out of TVs, murals of Run DMC made of records, and a giant Chinese Take out lunch were just some of the things on display.

We also had a cool opportunity to meet and chat with the dude (I think he is french--damn those french artists, they prolly get all the women). He was definitely a cool guy--very humble and easy to talk to.

Anyway, learn more about his works here

I found this on coolhunter.net today and thought how amazing this would be to have in our city...in the summer only. And its all recycled!

"With the push of a button, the house opens in 90 seconds like a flower and transforms from a compact container into a fully furnished and functional space with a kitchen, dining room, bathroom, bedroom, living room and library. All materials used in the Biennale house were recyclable or recycled." -The Cool Hunter
