Living the Tranquilista Lifestyle: The Artist Date

As part of the Tranquilista Lifestyle course I’m taking, we had the assignment to plan a solo artist date.  It could be anywhere (even your own home) that either inspires creativity or is just, well, artistic.  For some of the ladies in my group, that meant browsing in a bookstore, gathering new art supplies, taking Continue reading →

The Vacation is Officially Over

It was a very laid back kind of vacation. We’d been to the Mendocino coast quite a few times before, but this was the first time we went in the winter.  The best part of the whole visit, since we’d been so many times, there wasn’t any sort obligation to do anything vacationy.  Very cool.

My Trip to Ireland Remembered

This time last year we were heading home from our 10-day trip to Ireland. My apologies…in my rush to get something (let alone something relevant) up on time for my NaBloPoMo post, I wound up using a tool with a pretty crappy randomizer that apparently sucks in a HUGE way.  I’ll fix it tomorrow. I Continue reading →

The Fires Are Gone

Or at least the fires are gone in our neck of the woods. Meaning no more nuclear, mushroom cloud and ash all about. It was a pretty big fire. I think the biggest one I’ve experienced since living here (though not the closest). According to the news, the Station Fire has burned over 160,000 acres Continue reading →

And You Ended Up In My Spam Filter?

Wonder Why?

Michael Jackson’s Final Resting Place

It was rumored some time last week that Forest Lawn would be where Michael Jackson would be laid to rest. As early as Friday, the paparazzi and the news vans have been parked, ready and waiting. Now that it’s been made official, the crowds have descended upon our side of the Hollywood Hills. I’m sure Continue reading →

Whale Watching in Marina del Rey

June Gloom finally lifted today. So having the first beautiful day of June, I demanded (no really, I did indeed demand) that we head out to Marina del Rey to visit the breached whale that’s visiting. He’s on his way north to Alaska and has decided to take a bit of a break, call it Continue reading →

The Birthday Plans Continue

Things are progressing along nicely in LA Blogger Gal’s 40th Birthday Extravaganza planning. I do believe I’ve settled on a location.  With luck, we’ll be outside in this amazing garden setting, chowing down on Greek food (my fave!).  A friend of mine recommended the location from a place where she’s eaten before.  And since she’s Continue reading →

On the Set of the Gossip Girl Prequel

Okay, the little guy came *this* close to being discovered. Turns out, the gal just wanted to know where we got his blinky light, safety get-up. Sorry for the fuzziness, couldn’t use flash or they would’ve kicked me out. I’m really looking forward to this series…Lily Vanderwoodsen wild child in the 80′s in LA. Should Continue reading →

Wordless Wednesday: The Local Edition

Yes, I gave him some money and tried to give him dog food, but the pet store assured me that he gets plenty of dog food. ~~~~~~~~~~~ There’s a film shoot scheduled for tonight up the street (and Chuck was around the corner) so I hope to get out and take a couple pictures. By Continue reading →
