It's another beautiful day out here in the desert...
Yesterday I coerced Moldy into doing a photoshoot with me and his old Chevy. Had to get some shots for the holiday cards I'm trying to get out this year...considering how long I'm been on the lam, I've lost touch with a lot of folks and I hate that. Also had to get some shots for...

A marathon is technically 26.2 miles...but as the saying goes, the REAL marathon is only 6.2...those first 20 miles are just a warm up.
Having run a marathon myself many years ago...I know exactly what this means.
I'm sure you've all heard of "hitting the wall?" Well that's exactly what it feels like.
There you are, trucking along...and suddenly...you've got nothing left. Every muscle in...

You're amazing. Absolutely fucking amazing! I wish had even half of your resolve, your tenacity. Are all your blogs gonna be this deep and marvellous? I don't think I can keep up ha ha!
I've had dreams of running marathons. I've always wanted to run the London Marathon barefoot. But each year I find myself saying "next year I'll do it". I really need someone to kick me up the bum!

My hero, after reading your blog I'm going running, I'm going to start up again-not punking out this time-Peace 
Well...it's official...I've been in California for a year.
Though technically I believe I rolled across the stateline on Dec. 2nd...today was my first day of work at the certified mercedes shop in Monterey.
When I look back, part of me feels like I've come so far from where I was a few years ago. Part of me feels like I've gotten a whole lot of...

it's ridiculous! I was so pissed yesterday that I almost cancelled my membership! I thought it was turning into another myspace! I ended up deleting all my pics and anything personal about me within about 15 minutes of seeing the changes they made. I happened to find a few threads about the new layout and apparently everyone hates it as much as I do, so it looks like they're at least willing to listen..
The only reason I've joined and rejoined this site is for the whole community aspect of it, so when they started fucking that up it was like why bother sticking around??

i am with you on this one! let's open up a shop...
Does it make me a total dork that watching my not-so-magical mini van get towed away (to the shop for repairs) ACTUALLY made me want to cry?
Before you answer that...
It was because I was afraid she thought I was abandoning her...

Haha I wish I could get a tax write off! Your poor van. And yep Frederick's does fittings as do most department stores (Nordstrom, Macy's, probably even Sears and JCPenny's!)

That sucks, but hey.. at least it's a minor problem..
I had a 1984 Cadillac Fleetwood (2-door) which I affectionately refered to as "the beast" and when the beast finally died, I was REALLY bummed! Everyone thought I was insane for putting as much time and money into keeping it running as long as I did, but dammit that was a great car!
So far having this list sitting here right in front of my face is doing little for my motivation.. I just keep ignoring it while babysitting servers and typing away on instant messaging.. Oh well.. It was a nice idea..

It's been an eventful but unproductive couple days...
I successfully ventured down the hill to a friendly gathering of fellow hot rod chicks for Thanksgiving...
Pulling up to the house...was the exact moment my magical flat black minivan decided to NOT be so trustworthy... Nope, the engine shut down, the oil light came on and she called it a day. I had to throw her...

Practical Magic is on my DVD shelf. I love that effing movie.
Well ladies and gentlemen...in true hardworking redneck fashion Moldy and I DID get that motorhome on the road.
We arrived at the lake bed of El Mirage sometime around 5pm or so...only after discovering that apparently I get sea sick in land yachts, but not on the actually SEA.
We couldn't find our friends out there in the dark...and after a brief crisis where I...

Did I mention that I'm the proud partial owner of a 1977 Titan motorhome?
Oooooh yeeeaaaah!
We drove it off the guys lot where it'd been sitting unused for six years, on Wednesday.
We had big plans to drive it out to the dry lake bed of El Mirage Friday...to set up camp and watch the drags all weekend long.
HOWEVER...as you can see, it's...

BTW.. How did it go with the motorhome?
Well...luckily for you sg decided to eat the long spiritual blog entry I'd spent all this time writing...so today, you'll be spared...but...just for the record, you can run, but you can't hide...so prepare yourself...it's coming...oh yes...it's coming...
Instead...I'll bore you with pictures of my weekend excursion down into LA...not partying like the rockstar I once was...but the lessor known character I've now become...
A WEEKEND...

You know, every time SGOC Brunch comes around, I always say I'm going to get the stuffed French toast, or at least something other than the stuffed croissant. Nope! I once got the stuffed French toast because GangstaSwan usually orders it, and I did so in her honor...but for some reason I just end up getting my usual. I'm so boring!
Are you coming to Disneyland with everyone on the 18th?

I pretty much hate all things to do with winter other than how pleasing it is to the eye. Nice to see your having fun again.
