So, this past weekend was pretty darn good as previously noted.
Saturday I picked trixel up from the airport. That night was the premiere of the 'Radioactive Chickenheads' video I worked on. The Chickenheads played and are a blast live and otherwise. Check out the video here: I looked Into the Mirror - Radioactive Chickenheads
Sunday was my friend Mike's Oscar party. He had it at a restaurant in the Valley, as he did the year before. Only this year, they happened to be smack dab into filiming an episode of the new Gordon Ramsey reality show 'Hell's Kitchen,' whereby Mr. Ramsey helps revamp an existing eatery by browbeating everyone. Now, that resulted in the party being a bit of a clusterfuck, as only being in the middle of the shooting of a big budget reality show can be. Trixel and I felt bad for MIke, but by and large it made for a good story (and the food was pretty good.)
As for the picture with the Oscar, it belongs to Corinne Marrinan who won it last year as producer of the Best Documentary Short 'A Note of Triumph.' She works on CSI with Mike, ergo she brought her 'little gold friend' to be used as like the coolest prop...ever. And yes, it is heavy.
On a sidenote, Trixel totally reamed me in the Oscar pool, coming in fourth overall. Lucky bitch.
Monday was Trixel's birthday and our best laid plans for a museum outing to the Getty or the Autry were cut short...because they're both closed on Mondays. So, we went to Amoeba, spent too much money--as you do--and went out with friends for good Mexican food and debilitating margaritas. Somewhere in between is when we broke my IKEA bed. So, yeah, pretty good birthday if I do say so.
Next day was another sad goodbye after a too short visit, but she's returning in May for good. So we can go to more shows and party with more friends and shop for more extraneous entertainment material and break more beds...for like...ever. Yay.

what did you do on the video?
eep. was your party part of the reality show? cause i've seen that show and i am not so much a fan of that very angry dude.
but if the food was good then i guess it all worked out. stories are fun.
an oscar is an oscar. that is too cool.
has any actor ever dropped one on their toe when receiving it...because i bet that sucker could really break a toe. especially through an open toed strappy shoe.
what's amoeba?
well again, glad you had a lovely time with your sweetie
ha ha. well i bet it was an interesting party. sadly i won't be able to see it because due to the time warner cable stranglehold on my apt complex the only channels i can get without cable are ABC and CBS. so i watch way too much csi when i want my law and order sooooooooo bad. i can't even get PBS. it's insane. but i'm too poor to foot the $45 a month for cable.
oh man i want some Amoeba. who doesn't like music?
maybe someday i'll make it out california way. though i think the lack of snow and preponderence of plastic surgery might keep me away. but i have a feeling san fran might be my kinda town.
