Thank you for being a friend

We did an early Thanksgiving in San Diego. It was a lovely day at my Uncles Steve and Hector's house.

LJ loves to suck on lemons. The facial expressions as you can imagine are hilarious, but she never sits still long enough to document them.

My sissy Rohanna making the gravy. I got real bossy about the recipe even though I wasn't actually making it. Typical. She actually did the majority of the cooking and did an amazing job. She somehow inherited a cooking gene that I don't have. Good thing she is the one with the kid.



Awwww.


Thats my dad on the right. He is a good guy. LJ calls him Papi.



He is kind of making a weird face here but total samesies on the eyes don't you think?



This is Hector. He is my uncle in law and is pretty much in my top 5, personality wise. Everyone loves him. Here he is trying to get LJ to dance. She is too busy sucking on aforementioned lemons.



Seriously, it went on for hours.



Steve and Hector got her this dog that laughed and rolled around. She spent the better part of the afternoon kicking it.

MMMMMMMMM






PS, LJ loved that she was surrounded by men. She was commanding the room! Clockwise is John, Juan-Carlos, Papi, Ori, Karl and my Uncle Steve, who I don't think cares for being photographed even though he is gorgeous. He was an actor for many years and was in "Robocop". Top that!



Right after this photo my dad turned into a cliche and fell asleep on the couch for an hour. Snoring and all.



We had the most fun and were in such great company. I was truly thankful.

OK and one more of LJ because I never get photos of her actually smiling.



Hope you all had a nice holiday!

Fight Club

I have always had an appreciation for new and different experiences. In the case of this weekend it was being the only girl watching a boxing match on pay per view with 15 dudes. I would have taken photos of the Brodeo, but it seemed a bit like I had stumbled on a secret man ritual and snapping a lot of photos I think would have spooked the curious creatures.

It was actually super interesting and exciting. There was betting and beers and the match itself was a spectacle of bright lights and furious little men. Here is the winner of the fight, Manny Pacquiao. It wasn't totally one sided, but he pretty much dominated over his opponent, Miguel Cotto.





Manny looks a little worse for the wear, but you should have seen the other guy. His face looked like hamburger meat!

This car was parked in front of my friend Kelly's house.

Classy as fuck and a total copyright infringement.

We spent the afternoon eating Pho and watching a truly shitty movie. I am sure most of you figured this out, but you can skip "The Boy in Striped Pajamas".

We counteracted its lame-ness, by Google Image-ing "Treehouse". Hours of fun.





So yes, as you can see, I am deep in the process of changing the world for the better and accomplishing great things.

Fall back

I actually didn't do anything for Halloween this year. I could have, but after driving around all day I basically just decided to settle in with some wine and edited for television versions of scary movies.

LJ was a pumpkin. Isn't she though?

Here she is again trying to make sense of one of her nana's many crazy hats. There are a lot of them....


Also things like this happen in LA all of the time. Right before Halloween my friend Amy and I were sitting in a bar when a legion of ninjas stormed the place and started climbing on things. It was rad. They were all totally committed.


Then a few days later, these kids were in town. Jesse and Will!


And Ms Moon!


They were staying at the Roosevelt which despite being located on the douchiest street in the world is actually pretty cool.

Or maybe they are trying too hard?

I finally have a job sort of. Its something to do but I am still seeking the next great career move. I better get busy...
