Okay, so I still like to play dress up. The necklace is fake-me-out but the diamonds in my ears are real and were a 21st birthday present from my grandmother, Anor Phillips.

This hat makes me think of L.L. Cool J for some reason.
Right after we took this pic Dieter said, "Und now vee dance" and we slipped into the Existential Two-Step followed by the Bauhaus Shuffle.

Did I have a good Fourth of July? Hells to the yeah! That's a flippin' sword ya'll!

I'm becoming a pro at photographing these guys. I know better than to pull a Steve Irwin and try to poke it or wrastle it to the ground so I can give it a noogie in front of my camera crew. I'm pleased with the results of my passive photography.

This month's Arts Alive in Old Town Eureka coincided with the 4rth of July celebration. This folk band was awesome. The banjo player reminded me of the days when I had my own banjo. I wanted to start a band called "Folk You" with my friend Abbey Foster but alas, we sucked. At least someone made it through the awkard "I don't have anybody to play 'Dueling Banjos' with" period. That was what really killed it for me.
I went to see Woody Allen's latest film the other night and I must say I'm heartened and happy with what I've seen.
I went to the doctor Monday because I either had a bug that's going around work or the fact that I subsisted off hippie trail mix in Yosemite had played me an evil trick.

We fought hill and heat and agressive gray squirrel to get here but the view was worth it.

Vanessa has tasty hair. It's strawberry lollypop flavored.

I spent the weekend in Yosemite with some girl friends. Fresh air makes us act like divas- the granola eating, green-friendly, leave-only-footprints kind.

I've just come back from NYC where I had all sorts of misadventures and cultural exchanges.
I met a rabbi on a plane, bought expensive panties from Sam Ronson's sisters, had a man walk in on me in a bathroom at a rooftop club and got a few compliments from people with good taste.
I saw the Metropolitan Museum of Art and walked 1/4 of the Brooklyn Bridge and I saw the actor Diedrich Bader walking through Central Park with his children.
I ate well and drank well and I was kept in a state of perpetual entertainment.
I went for a massage yesterday.
I accidentally discovered Empire of the Sun when itunes offered "Walking on a Dream" as the free single of the week.
