oaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

well this is the last post i will do for a while as the big bday weekend approaches. stacy is coming in less than 12 hours!!!!!!

i am not sure what is going on this weekend, other than something satuday night that i am not supposed to know about and sunday is wicked and the tam o'shanter!!!!

we got tix to dave matthews for wednesday the 26th. this is a big deal since stacy and i have gone every year since 2002. last year she wasn't here so taku and i went and he wasn't having it. so i am so excited for the OC show. that's right, i said it, OC. lol

Damien Rice at the Greek

tonight was a great show. i saw damien rice at the greek and as i have said in the past, i love the ability to drink a bottle of wine and walk up to the greek with two hot chicks.

it broke my heart that taku wasn't able to go. i gave the ticket to la chona and jenni, la chona and i had a great time. he is so freakin amazing.

i had expected to run into regan (my ex for those who don't know) but didn't. so many songs reminded me of him but it's all good because i am strong! he was there but didn't hear from him.

anyway, less than 48 hours to the big 3-0. i am kinda over freakin out. anti-climactic as i have no idea what's going on even though i know stacy sent an evite out to people. lol

love ya

JT HELL YA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A VERY SPECIAL THANK YOU YO JLO (JENNI) FOR TAKING ME TO SEE THE FUTURE SEX/LOVE TOUR AT STAPLES ON SUNDAY THE 16TH. IT WAS BY FAR THE BEST BDAY GIFT SO FAR.

I LOOOOOOOOOOOVE JUSTIN!!!! TALK ABOUT AN ENTERTAINER. I CAN'T EVEN SAY HOW HOT IT WAS WATCHING HIM ROCK HIA BODY.

TIMBALAND CAME OUT DURING THE INTERMISSION AND KANYE STOPPED BY AFTER HIS EMMY APPEARANCE AND DID TROUBLE. IT WAS HOOOOOOOOOOOOOT!

THERE ISN'T MUCH TO SAY ABOUT THIS OTHER THAN THE T-SHIRTS WERE HOTTER THAN THE STRIPPED TOUR WITH JT AND CHRISTINA A COUPLE OF YEARS BACK.

LOVE MY WIFEY CAKE JENNI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

GOO GOO DOLLS!

Robin took me to see the Goo Goo Dolls on Septeber 8th at the Greek. What an AWESOME SHOW!!!! ALL proceeds went to benefit the Griffith Park recovery fund due to the devastating fires that forced me out of my home back in May.

The show was off the hook, and the T-shirts were pretty greeat too. I wear it proudly.
I will be sad and a wreck when Robin and baby Wy Wy move away in a matter of weeks. How many more are going to leave me???

ciao

TGIF and birthday concert #2

although i only worked a three day week, it feels like it was the longest one ever. left my cell phone at home today and that was a mess.

went to pick up pamela's mail at the post office and because i didn't put the key in the new car the lovely government employee told me ever so politely that i couldn't get it because my name wasn't on it. lame.

tonight taku took me to see the perishers at the knitting factory. never been there before. i actually think it's a sweet place. the last time i was at that venue it was a pacific thearte, anne heche was there with her new man and traffic was in theatres. anyway...

the show was great. it was short, but great. i really like them. check them out on iTunes. we walked over to hollywood and highland after and had beared papa. a nice treat. klowe was at the gym which was right there but of course missed her. so i am ending the evening watching rick and steve on LOGO and updating myspace and this blog. pretty sweet huh?

happy september! (16 more days until 30)

The Ennis House Returns to Los Feliz

For the past couple of years I would sit on my patio taking in the beautiful site of the Griffith Observatory. There is nothing like it in Los Angeles. Well, not so true. From my vantage point, if I turn my head a few inches to the east, I see Frank Lloyd Wright's "Ennis House" built in 1925.

This is not only an architectural landmark, but it's also a savored piece of Los Angeles history - and it's of course in my backyard. People ask me all the time why I want to live "all the way over there" and it's quite simple. Where else in a city this big can you be close to the 101 and 5 freeways, the nation's largest city owned public park, a world-renowned observatory, walking distance to a classic concert venue, footsteps to a hip and thriving village community, surrounded my million dollar homes in the hollywood hills, and last but certainly not least, dozens of architectural masterpieces?

I have never loved living in a location as much as I do now. When the day comes to buy my home, I can only hope it's nearby, because there truly isn't anything like Los Feliz, CA 90027. If you don't believe me, come over and see for yourself!

Here is a link to the LA Conservancy's newsletter on the completion of the Ennis House. It was completed this past month. It was heavily damaged in the '94 Northridge quake and the heavy rains of 2005. I hope you can appreciate it's beauty as much as I do every night when I get home. And, if you ever want to hike up to it, there is a great set of stairs to do so. It's well worth it!

Have a great September!
