the glamour shots from the twister party are up! here is just a sampling of the sheer greatness. enjoy!
i'm heading out to seattle tonight. i have this nervousness in my stomach. probably because i'm worried. worried about a lot of things...
this morning i was riding the elevator in my building and it malfunctioned. it was going up and then it just dropped back down. and then went back up past my floor. and then back down. and hesitated. it felt like eternity but it was probably 30 secs. i was just so worried i'd be stuck in there. much like i keep fearing the metro is going to break down in the tunnel and i'll miss my flight.
i worry a bit too much sometimes. and then there's the matter of flying. i hate flying. so of course i'm worried about that. and i'm flying alone so that sucks. last year i flew with rick to seattle but he left already cuz he has to attend the wedding rehearsal so there was no chance of us flying together. that and he booked his flight kind of late.
i'm excited to basque in the crisp, clean seattle air with a cup of coffee in hand. i'm also excited to dance up a storm with rick on saturday. i am bringing flip flops as a backup in case my shoes start to hurt. i'm also excited to hang out with dominic since i swear he said he's moving to asia for his gf. i don't know. i might have misunderstood. either way, i think this weekend will be filled with lots of fun. if only i could beam myself there.
kyla left last night. the weekend as fabulously chill. it's nice when people come to visit who have lived in LA. that way you don't have to babysit them. you can sit there and just take a nap and it's OK. and they already know all your friends most likely so that's good too. and with kyla, this is all true. we mostly just ate, sat around, napped, and ate some more. oh and drank coffee. i even brought her with me to get my eyebrows done. something i'd feel guilty for if my visitor had never been to LA. that'd be wasting precious time! to recap the entire weekend would sound rather dull. so i will just list the highlights.
saturday kyla, alex and i went to LA mill to get coffee and lunch. kyla LOVES coffee as does alex. i enjoy it but nearly as much as they do. nor am i as much of a snob or connoisseur as they are. but i do know good coffee when i taste it and this place definitely has it. they have all sorts of specialty roasts and various extraction methods. we got the chemex because it was the most affordable but perhaps the least exciting to look at. the siphen (which we saw at another table) looked much more impressive. ah well.
later that night dance party converged at 14 below in santa monica for ted's "goodbye" party so to speak. he DJ'd half the night and everyone was present for this glorious event. i will concede that the 5 way birthday party at this same club back in january (where ted also spun at) was more exciting on the dancefloor but i still had a really great time on saturday. there were two twister boards and a glamour shots set up. i'm EAGERLY waiting to see the photos that the woman took. once i do, i will post the best ones. i mean this was straight up high school style glamour shots. fuckin soft edges and some god awful backdrop. we did some really great poses. i'm really really excited to see how they all turned out. as far as twister was concerned, i owned that shit. i worried that maybe i had lost my touch. but no. i didn't. i stretched a bit beforehand to get the muscles going and i even wore shorts so i wouldn't worry about jeans holding me back. here is the result of all of this:
they don't call me the international twister champ for nothin'.
anyway, the night was full of random poses and drunken dancing. and it was great!
yesterday orange:house reunited for a lovely little brunch in culver city. kyla and i were super tired from the night before but were able to fake the funk for this photo:
after our meal we took this cute little family photo. these are genuine smiles as the food woke us up for sure.
say it with me, "awwwwwwwwwwww......"
