The Story I Heard

Your Rocky Spine

And Then

I left LA and officially began my new year in quiet (pretty much) little Plymouth. LA was nice, but it's also nice to be back. So far this year, I've taken the munchkins to the Boston Aquarium, signed up for an open mic night (oooooh look out!), cut my hair again (pictures soon), broken my resolution to always look good, no matter what or where, deleted facebook (WHAT?! Yes. I've more important things to focus on), and gained a lastFM account (amazing! I've been on it all day.... almost), and paid off all my debts and credit cards. I'm feeling pretty good about myself. Yay me. Well.... except the looking good always part...

DisneyLAAAAAANNNNDDD!

I honest to goodness did not believe all my dreams would come true by visiting Disneyland. Nor did I have any desire to deal with what I thought was going to be the Mecca of all small screaming children. I was terribly terribly wrong.
At eight o clock on Day 3 I was pitching fits about being dragged to Disneyland. Then at ten thirty, when we arrived and Liz, very wisely, led me to the Star Tours ride, and I decided I'd like to stay forever.
All of my dreams have not come true, but then I ONLY spent eleven hours there....
We waited through some ridiculous lines, which turned out to be totally worth it for Pirates of the Caribbean, and India Jones. And while watching the Jedi training camp (I was too tall to play. And they don't allow anyone who could actually beat their pathetic looking Darth Vader.), I had the best Mocha. Ever. The whole experience was magical. Thanks to Liz for dragging me there. I say we pack up our things and move in.

El Ay....Day Two

Yayayayayayaaaaaaay....

Bettie Page shop on Hollywood!

New Years' resolution in full effect. No more wheat! In n Out cheeseburger on lettuce!

I woke up on day 2 and it hit me.... It's WARM, dude.... And today is January.... So, it didn't much feel like New Years Day, but it was the lovliest one ever.
We skibbled around Hollywood all day, and took pictures, and gawked at tourists and made plans for Disneyland. Visited In n Out burger for the first time since two years ago (far too long). And walked alllllll over kingdom come.
We saw Sherlock Holmes at Graummans (sp?) Chinese Theater, and it was magnificent. And on our way out of the theater, ran into a life size Transformer! Liz wouldn't let me go near it... I would have had to get in a 15 minute line behind a hundred 13 year old boys, so I took pictures from afar.
We enjoyed a very full day, and a long long walk that we finally gave up on and took a cab the rest of the way...
It was glorious!

LA, Day One... New Years Eve

It's about time for a new post!
This is our (Liz and I) New Years' Eve! We flew into LAX on NYE, and after some terrifying cab rides and primping and general OMG-we're-in-LA-freaking out we headed out to the Viper Room for a night of The Binges/Rhinobucket/Head Cat.
The Binges were amazing and the absolute cutest Punky band I have ever witnessed. I would like to put them in a box and keep it in my closet, and take them out when I need a good dose of ridiculously cute punk. I highly recommend checking them out.
Rhinobucket was interesting. I talked to one of them and he seemed not to like me one bit. Or maybe that was him being the aloof rock star... So, I made him feel old. Not entirely on purpose... quite by accident. But looking back, I'm glad. Ha! The one good thing about them is their bass player's dimples. That, in my opinion, saves them.
And Head Cat was, of course, amazing. Lemmy from Motorhead, Slim Jim from the Stray Cats, and Danny from.....
They were lovely lovely lovely, and Slim Jim has not changed one bit since the Eighties. LURVE!
It was absolutely wonderous to spend the New Year in short sleeves. Lizzie and I decided that every NYE from now on should be spent on Sunset Blvd.

Time for workout! Day 2 Tomorrow!
