    I have a baby shower invite, a baby shower thank you card and a wedding save the day card all on my memo board. I feel so grown up!
    And, you know… old.

    Now I don't want to leave!

    Showing people my apartment is making me sad to leave. But at least everyone is complementing me on how nicely it’s decorated :)

  • March 12, 12:11 PM

    Early Morning

    8am.
    Working in bed.
    Making magical, nerdy internet-based things work (er… trying to).

    Pepper the cat is running around like a nut.
    And my apartment is quite cold, but it’s nice and clean so I don’t mind.
    I quite enjoy this working from home thing. :)

    Tonight I’ll be cleaning my entire (tiny) apartment in preparation for the big move, which I’m SUPER excited for!

    But that means it’s also in preparation for showing my apartment to potential new tenants, which I am SUPER bummed about.
    I love my little apartment and I’m going to be sad to leave it. :(

  • March 11, 01:41 AM

    Treat time! I did some laundry, that means I deserve ice cream. :)

  • March 08, 07:19 PM

    A sneak peak at my our new apartment. Let’s start with the bathroom floor.

    :D

    All Sundays should be lazy and include fancy mimosas at your local brunch spot.

    Blueberry acai and strawberry-banana mimosas to be exact.

    The Things That Keep Me Alive

    I just realized that the past… oh… 17 posts I’ve made have all been work related.
    Yeah. My life is so thrilling. I’m surprised that my life hasn’t been completely replaced by work.
    But no more talking about work! Or taking photos of work.

    Let’s talk about fun things. Like moving into a new apartment! With the boyf! Where we’re going to have a FULLY STOCKED BAR AT ALL TIMES!

    I’m making the list of alcohol right now. And that makes me so happy.
    That and the fact that we get to actually sign the lease tomorrow.
    It’s always the little things in life. :)

  • March 05, 07:37 PM

    • Elevator dude: I've always wondered, who's in the penthouse?
    • Me: Lots and lots of nerdy people
  • March 04, 07:39 PM

    Oh happy day! Long work days rewarded by a Sprinkles cupcake.

  • March 03, 02:43 AM

    Working late.

    Making video stream on the internets from a moving vehicle.

    Don’t be so surprised.

    It’s actually happening.

  • March 02, 12:30 PM

    Work work work. Making this happen.

  • March 02, 01:14 AM

    oh no.

    hrrrthrrr:

    The show that I’ve been working on launches tomorrow and I have to be there at 6 am.  However, as of right now I am not even slightly tired. This is not good. And I am not a morning person at all.

    I need to get tired some how. Quick.

    Would you like some of my tired? I have plenty to spare. In fact, you can have it all if you want. :) Also. I really. REALLY. Hope I don’t have to be there at 6am… cause um… yeah, that’s not safe for other people. :P
  • February 27, 10:39 PM

    Working for WAY too long.

    • Randy: Hey hey hey. Those are my nuts!

    Rainy day in LA

    Just when I was going to grab a mountain dew… a personal coffee picker-upper appeared. Best boyfriend ever.

    Story of my life.

    In a meeting with about 12 people total.
    11 of the people. Male.

    I guess you could call me an anomaly.

    Hulu’s First Original Series to Premiere Online March 2

    My life has been consumed by this INSANE project for the past 6 months. So people better watch it! Dammit.

  • February 23, 09:48 PM

    What happens when I'm forced to do things by myself.

    I had to talk on two phones at once today. Both phones were mine. One iphone, one blackberry.
    I believe that officially makes me a douche.

  • February 20, 03:42 PM

    Why hello, Saturday. You look lovely today.

  • February 16, 07:54 PM

    Stuck inside all day on such a beautiful day.

    Sad.

  • February 16, 05:18 PM

    It's almost certain.

    This very well may no longer be my apartment.

    I so desperately want these pink sequined ears from Disneyland. Unfortunately they’re like an instant headache inducer for my non-childsize head. Sad.

  • February 09, 04:19 PM

    I should have brought my umbrella (ella, ella) today.

  • February 08, 10:31 PM

    An evening with the Lakers. Oh, and Spurs.

  • February 07, 03:46 PM

    I love EAT.

  • February 06, 08:22 PM

    CANDY! Not normally found in the US!

  • February 05, 11:08 PM

    Success.

    Even after the cold, rainy, wet, coffee-less, food barren day I had, I still managed to accomplish the task I was assigned to do. And I accomplished it quite well.
    So, all in all, it was a successful day.


    But I can still be grumpy about it.

  • February 05, 07:23 PM

    Rain. And my feet are soaked. Not a happy kitty today.

    Srsly.

  • February 03, 03:08 PM

    Sunny and cold.

  • February 01, 04:04 AM

    I also promise that they’ll be more exciting than my cat.

  • February 01, 03:59 AM

    I found my new favorite iPhone camera app. The Hipstamatic!!!

    Stay tuned for more exciting photos than this one. I promise.

  • January 30, 12:40 AM

    Uh oh.

    Watching LA Ink makes me wants a tattoo.
    I didn’t realize how amazingly COLORFUL tattoos could be!

    Apartment Hunting Kills My Soul

    Why are all the really awesome apartments in Silver Lake???
    Why are all the apartments in Venice shitty and rundown???

    C’mon people, I want a Silver Lake apartment, but I want it in Venice. Is that so much to ask for?

    I wish more songs sounded like this one.
    It makes for fantastic “driving in inclement weather” music.

  • January 26, 10:04 PM

    hrrrthrrr:

    I would like to find a new roommate that will:

    - be ok with having this in our living room

    - have a love of polaroid photos

    - sit around watching movies + painting with me

    - love to hang out, dance + listen to records

    - enjoy going to flea markets + fixing up the treasures we find

    - eat breakfast for dinner

    - doesn’t mind watching Wes Anderson movies over + over

    - be ok with the fact that I’m always taking pictures + videos

    - go along with the crazy ideas/adventures I conjure up

    - love going to art and music shows

    - etc etc etc etc

    This would be my idea of the perfect roommate. Does this kind of person exist? In Los Angeles? I need to find them. I’m ready for a new situation. Although it’s nice to have my place all to myself so much, I’d really love to actually live with someone. I’m 100% serious. This could be my craigslist ad.

    (photo via)

    If I wasn’t moving in with the boyf… or so obsessed with my tiny tiny studio… I’d totally be your roomie… just so we could make this tent. But you’d have to tolerate my love for meaningless movies (I can quote almost all of Mean Girls and Legally Blonde.. and 40 Year Old Virgin, Superbad and Role Models… don’t hate).

    This is the start of my first Knitting University project. So far, so good!

  • January 22, 05:33 PM

    They’re trying so hard to open. Poor things need some sunlight.
