I like my job.

We have a good team of people, we all get along, we all have a good work ethic.

We cook cool food. It's not earth-shattering, but it's fun and different enough to be interesting. The head chef has a great attitude and is good to work for.

By virtue of being owned by a big corporation, the pay is above average...

Sorry to read that. I never cease to be disturbed by this kind of casual, short-sighted meddling by people who know sod-all about the area they are meddling with but are too far up their own arses to worry about that detail. I hope they can be persuaded to retract their little brainstorm. It's depressing finding a good niche & then some unnecessary rubbish like that happens.

Happy New Year anyway - hope it all works out.
dollface:
yucky corporate fucks!

stick it out for a mo, feel it out before you do anything too immediate.

on christmas night, while sipping on my wine, seth and mary asked how you were, where you were working. i mentioned it, and mary responded, "Oh I LOVE that place!!!"

everything is going to work out perfectly, of course. don't you worry.

Happy New Years, I suppose... Another holiday that's going to breeze by me without my having a chance to notice until it's over.

And this is the part where I reflect on 2005 and what's happened.

All in all, an amazing year, really -- half spent in the UK (including a touch of Belgium, Portugal, and Germany), and half back here. The odd thing is,...

I can't believe it's already Christmas Eve ... it feels like September or something.

I also can't believe I've been in L.A. for 4 months already, and back in the States for 5. Just seems like a few weeks ago I was wandering the streets of Soho at 3am ... very surreal.

I don't know if it's the mild weather or just the fact that...

dude, i'm going to the pontiac for new years.
crackheidi:
TAN! appreciated it, they were really good about it too, they are used to doing all the driving and tour management themselves, so having the help was great as far as they were concerned. I got a shout out every night too, whihc was cool as fuck. If you hear of any other bands who are coming over, get them to get in touch.

This has been blaring through my stereo all day while I'm doing housework.

Hot!

In other news, I've pretty much decided that, after New Years, I'm going to sell my car and buy some kind of 1950's cruiser. I've been digging around looking for the right deal. I'll find it.

ooh. well when you finally do take the plunge, let me know. i want step by step updates.
dollface:
i admit it. i am lonely. being sick always brings it out of me. i want nothing more than someone to cuddle me when i am sick.

maybe it's just my maternal abandonment talking again.

Popped into this English pub around the corner from my place (the Cock & Bull) after work last night. British guy sitting next me ("Hardest cunt I know, that guy," said the Scottish bartender) turns to me at one point, asks where I'm from. "Texas," I reply. "Texas? What the Hell? You look British as bloody Hell, you do!"

I'm not sure how one "looks...

So my car got impounded by the city for having expired, out-of-state tags.

Time to go stand in line for a few hours at the DMV

There is a similar thing with licence plates here; having to correspond to the area you live in (or something like that). Perhaps there is some really important reason why this is necessary, but I doubt it.
I fucking hate bureaucrats, and the wankers who carry out their edicts. Pointless, self-important twats.

Hit the bar after work last night, with a co-worker. We were invited to a late-night poker game at another regular's place, after the bar closed. My mate was the first one out, I ended up sweeping the table, putting out 4 of the 10 players along the way. It was a fun night, and I walked out with $140, which ain't bad for a...

Once more, I've wrenched the universe around to accomodate my whimsy ... tonight at work, we're doing a 600-person dinner party for the company I worked for, for almost 6 years.

I promise not to spit in the food.

Not much to update on ....

Go buy my movie. I could use the money biggrin

Went to H's house Tuesday, played some music. Much fun, but not much was accomplished. We were both so rusty that we were sort of re-learning our instruments, plus part of the time I was playing a new drum that I'd never really played before, so had to figure...

Holy cow, you have a movie? What's that about? Some kind of docu about a punk-rock bowlinf night ro somesuch? You've certainly been keeping yourself busy at any rate then tongue
sweetavenue:
When I come to LA you are totally on my list. (Especially after looking at you in those Portugal pictures. Cute! wink )

The thing is I'm not sure when I'm coming yet. We are doing another re-write and after that's done the shooting schedule is supposed to be set and then the auditions.

You're in charge of taking me somewhere cool because my writing partner/best friend hardly ever goes anywhere but the dog park.

Where do you live? He lives in Silverlake, which is where my home base will be.
