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.

Halloween 2009.
My attempt at Blair Waldorf.

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

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. :(

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

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.

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. :)

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

Working late.

Making video stream on the internets from a moving vehicle.

Don’t be so surprised.

WE DID IT!!!

It’s actually happening.

Work work work. Making this happen.

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.

Rainy day in LA

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

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

I guess you could call me an anomaly.

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

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.

Why hello, Saturday. You look lovely today.

We talk about lots of serious shit.

Stuck inside all day on such a beautiful day.

Sad.

This very well may no longer be my apartment.

We shall see.

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

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

An evening with the Lakers. Oh, and Spurs.

I love EAT.

CANDY! Not normally found in the US!

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.

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

Srsly.

Sunny and cold.

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

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

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

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

Peppermint is very happy that I finally finished knitting my blanket… she has now renamed it to HER blanket.

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.

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.

Love my new iPhone background. :D

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

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