Put yourself out there, and you've got a better chance at opportunities coming about.

Sitting at home waiting for opportunity to knock is going to leave you forever forgotten.

Never forget that lesson.

Had just been handed a big steaming plate of pork sausages and apples, mash, and stewed cabbage, home cooked by a good friend, when my phone rang.

It was my friend Damnit, calling from the bar, asking if I could come in and barback for him, as a big-ass birthday party was on its way in, and he was working the bar alone. I didn't...

Funny night tonight ... after work, I ran out to Hollywood (urgh...) to this goth club (urgh...) where a bunch of greaser rockabilly old car club guys I know had decided to go to en masse to sort of take over for the night. Pretty damn amusing, I have to say. There was a fair amount of wonderment from both sides.

Also, humourous note, after...

Yeah, so work's got me bummed out right now. Don't really want to get into details, but the short version is, it's not worth disliking your job for a cook's pay. Time to start looking for something else if it doesn't get better soon. Got a phone call to make.

So a couple weeks ago, I might have written about it but I'm not going to go check, I was sitting next to Harrison Ford's son at my regular bar out here, although I didn't know it was him until he left.

I found out last night that this other guy I know from the bar that's hanging around a lot, is Mark Hamill's son....

The car search continues.

My flatmate called and woke me up the other morning screaming into the phone about how he "found my car." Scared the hell out of me at first, I thought he meant my car had been stolen or something and he found it upside-down in a ditch somewhere.

But actually, once I got him to calm down and start making sense,...

so i just found out the hard way that flights on British Airways do not count towards your AAdvantage miles! crappity!

and i was gonna use my soon-to-be earned free ticket to come to LA in June....i don't mind paying for it though. i'll just have to be a good girl til then.

i am still too tired and europe-sick to discuss it. all i can say when people ask how it was is 'fine' in a really wan, limp way.

i really dreaded returning to this craphole of a city. it's hot and muggy and smells funny. in the 80's the last 2 days.

nina missed me, though. she's been all sweet and cuddly. it's nice.

Will try to get some healing pics soon, bullet-nose Studes always remind me of the Muppets Movie.

Wow .... I just got an email from my ex-wife talking about how she's moving back to the States and blah blah blah. Fine, she wants to keep me up on what she's doing, whatever. But you know, I really think it's completely rude of her to cc: the guy she cheated on me with, on the email

She doesn't want the dude to think she's trying to cheat on him by sending you secret e-mails?

You've got a 3rd grade psycho on your hands.

So, I have now hung out with my dear friend 60FtQueenie on THREE different continents. This is a landmark! I've hung out with several people on TWO continents, but she's the first one to hit 3.

And it was an awesome time, of course. We rocked some Italian food, then hit a couple bars, meeting up with some other friends of hers, and she and...

To follow up on that last bit, I was out at the bar Friday night, drinking away as it were, and after the place closed a bunch of us went back to one of the bartender's places to play dominos (I won), and subsequently went through the better part of a bottle of vodka.

It was about 8am, I think, when I stopped drinking and...
