Halloween

Well this was the first Halloween that we are living in a house and expect to get a bunch of kids tricker treating. Normally living in apartments you don’t' get many if any kids knocking on your door.. so I was really looking forward to this night. Of course I bought a ton of candy and also bought a full box of Hershey full size bars. I wanted to be the cool guy who is giving out full candy bars. Well come to find out my friend Tom was having a Halloween party that night as well, which I totally forgot about. So I got home and wanted to spend at least an hour handing out candy before we went to the party. It was so much fun. So many cute kids in costumes. I was handing out handfuls of candy knowing I had very little time to get rid of the stuff. Well around 8:30 we had to get over to our friends Tom's party. I got rid of about half of the candy so we still have a big bowl of candy sitting in the house.

We had a good time at Tom's. Saw some friends that we haven't seen in a while. We watched Simpsons' Treehouse of Horror and a really crappy cheesy murder mystery type of movie that we all made fun of. It was a fun night.

For The Love Of God

Artist Jay Rolfe says the Love of God is what we need to protect us on Halloween. The first photo is artist Jay Rolfe's belt buckle, not Damien Hirst's "For The Love Of God" platinum skull with real teeth and 8,601 diamonds, which reputedly sold for $100 million. Rolfe believes the buckle was available before Hirst made his diamond encrusted skull. It's a great buckle to wear on Halloween, although Rolfe bought it to wear all year round with his custom red belt (from Champlain Leather in Burlington VT) in honor of a new artwork selling in the stratosphere of $100 million. While his skull buckle encrusted with crystals cost more than a million times less than Hirst's skull, artist Jay Rolfe thinks it's cool.

The second photo, also in honor of Halloween, is of artist Jay Rolfe. Boo! And Happy Halloween Birthday to my Dad!

Lib Tav--Major Downer Contained W/In!

BTW folks, I'm sorry to mention that Lib Tav does NOT have a lovely brunch menu that makes you want to frolic over there for a delightful late morning meal.

Besides a few scant a la carte items, the brunch is a buffet. And you know what I say about buffets. Oh wait, maybe you don't!

"We don't need to eat all we can eat. We're not bears." See Ellen at 5:35.

If you like buffet brunches, then I apologize--I feel bad for you, you like your food to be same food everyone else is eating, made in big group bunches and placed under a heat lamp for gosh-only-knows-how-long. You must enjoy using the big serving spoon to hack away a piece of eggs from the 20 egg omelet that sits in the tray.

I want an INDIVIDUAL PLATE with a planned-out, comprehensive dish on it, to be SERVED to me with my COFFEE on a weekend morning. So we went somewhere else. Review pending.

I am a simple man...

...really, I know this. I like to think I'm educated and smart and hip and all that, but no...I'm not. I was walking back from FM7 today (Intel FM7=Building 7 in Folsom)that is where the cafeteria is located. So I'm walking back to my building and I get close to FM1 where I swipe my badge and I was thinking of Charmed and how I watched 13 episodes this past weekend!! I am so hooked! So as I swipe my badge to get into FM1 (building 1 in Folsom) I'm thinking why? Why do I like it so much?? Ok hot chicks and the pretty lights! When the blue orbs of fury leave the demons hands or the little bubble spray when Leo orbs, I love it!! I am simple!! I am attracted to shiny bright things! That is a horrible revelation about ones self! That is the same reason I saw Fantastic 4, Transformers, Eragon etc....special effects and the lights and magic!!
I mean I'm ok with it, but if I meet people and they ask "so what are you in to?" how do I say, um...kind of like a Miss America contestant...shiny pretty things!!? I mean, yes sure, I can talk about other things...but if that's my main obsession right now? that is soo not attractive. Then again, I am who I am...wear a shiny necklace and you soooo have my attention! ;-) Hope everyone has a great Halloween!!

Painting "Lightning Bolt"

Today artist Jay Rolfe is painting his 3-D Shaped Stretched Canvas (3DSSC) painting "Lightning Bolt" for which he stretched canvas yesterday. See yesterday's post. Today's photo is of artist Jay Rolfe painting his 3DSSC painting "Lightning Bolt." With tomorrow being Halloween, I'm wearing an orange shirt.

By the way, Halloween is my father's birthday. He'll be 88 years old tomorrow! Way to go Dad!

We've been having beautiful fall days after the substantial weekend rains. It's sunny and crisp. Our morning walks are a delight in this weather. We've also had our first frosts.

This is the latest step of artist Jay Rolfe on his Journey From Starving Artist To 21st Century Picasso. You may view some of Jay Rolfe's unique artistic idea, his 3-D Shaped Stretched Canvas paintings, on his website at http://www.3dssc.com/

Stretching Canvas For "Lightning Bolt"

Today artist Jay Rolfe stretched canvas for his new 3-D Shaped Stretched Canvas painting, "Lightning Bolt." I believe it will be about 7 feet high when completed. Today's photo is of stretching canvas for this 3DSSC painting.

I try to make all my works Uplifting Conversation Pieces, as I'm a positive person and have a cheerful outlook on life. Thus I probably won't be able to use my idea of having a mannequin lie on the floor face down with the "Lightning Bolt" sticking in its back. It's humor, which I do, but it's negative humor. Unless I call it "And Lived To Tell The Tale." That might be both funny and positive. What do you think? Do you have a mannequin laying around?

Toy Room

Today I worked on my Toy Room some more... I have been telling Harry the past three weeks that I was going to finish it and of course it never happened. We seem to always be doing something on the weekends. Well today I was determined to do nothing but the toy room, and for the most part I did. I got about 80% of it done and it's coming along nicely. Of course not everything is going to fit in the room as planned but it still looks great and I did manage to put out my favorite toys. Once this room is done we will set up a day for our house warming party..

"American Family Tree" Sculpture

"Mystery" sculpture revealed! Artist Jay Rolfe is excited about his latest sculpture "American Family Tree" which he completed Thursday, October 25, 2007. "American Family Tree" is more than 10 feet high and more than 8 feet wide and 8 feet deep. In his posts of October 25 and October 26, Jay Rolfe asked for guesses as to what the sculpture was. Today the mystery is solved.

The subject of artist Jay Rolfe's sculpture "American Family Tree" is something that, from looking almost anywhere in public, seems to be "in the genes" of Americans, jeans. Here are 2 photos offering different views of "American Family Tree" so you can see exactly what it is. The sculpture is meant to be an indoor sculpture. As artist Jay Rolfe didn't have room to photograph it inside because of its size, he moved it outdoors for these photos. Jay Rolfe hopes you can imagine it, as he can, in a large museum space and in a large Chelsea gallery space.

Halloween Party

Tonight Harry and I went to our friend Christopher's Halloween party. I dressed up as Harry Potter of course and Harry went has himself. My friend Christopher goes all out for Halloween.. his place looked great. It was a lot of fun sitting around, drinking and chatting with friends.

New Stove and more

Today Harry and I went to Home Depot, we planned to get some curtains for the house. We also wanted to look at screen doors. What we didn't expect was to find a Gas Stove. I have been looking online for a used stove but when we saw this stove and it was on sell for $399.99 we couldn't pass it up. We both agreed that it would be better to have a new stove rather than a used one since we were dealing with gas. So with the purchase of the stove that limited us on what else we could get at that time. We picked up a few light switch cover plates, two cutains rods and four really cool multi color curtains. We figured we would do two in the living room and two in the dining room since they are connected.

The stove will be delivered on Thursday, we are both very excited since it's been about three weeks since we had a really good cooked meal that wasn't microwaved or BBQ.

We went to put up the curtains and sure enough just two curtains weren't enough for the front living room window, so we had to steal one of the curtains that was suppose to go up in the dining room. So now we have to go back and buy one more curtain so we can at least finish the living room/dining room area.

Friends who have houses always say that you are never at a lose for buying stuff from your house.. and that is so true.. Harry and I had so much fun walking through Home Depot. So many cool things to buy.. too bad we don't have the money to do so. I guess will get a little at a time. Next up is paint for the living room, dining room and kitchen.

Restaurant 3

Restaurant 3 is named such because it's the 3rd restaurant I'd go to if I was really hungry in the Clarendon area and wasn't allowed to go to Five Guys or Whole Foods. Maybe not, I'm not sure.

There's nothing wrong with Restaurant 3, it just annoys me because it's new and sort of snazzy looking, the food is okay but not fabulous, and it's on the pricier side for the quality of the food. Also, someone should do the owners a favor and steal that awful fluorescent "3" they've got hanging--it's totally out of place, and doesn't match their decor at all.

We started with the lettuce wraps of duck confit and bourbon molasses, which were actually very good--maybe the best part of the meal. The meat was very soft but almost drowning in the sauce, and its accompaniments were also very tasty (a crunchy salad mixture and nuts to wrap in the lettuce). Grilled brie with a side of grapes was pretty good, but the oil-saturated slices of toasted bread that came with it were unnecessary--not quite warm, and with an almost stale-like texture. I ended up just eating the brie with a fork in combo with the grapes, which I wish were colder for a greater contrast with the warm brie.

My dinner was okay, but I probably wouldn't order it again. The menu at Restaurant 3 just didn't call to me, it wasn't my style. I wasn't freaking out about ordering the way I usually do, wondering how in the world I'll be able to choose between choices X Y and Z which are all making my mouth water. I got the vegetarian croquettes, described as grit cakes with salsa verde. They were large, not too dense, yellow mounds of what seemed like cornmeal and some veggies and lots of butter, tasty, but I would have rather had ONE of them on the side of something else than two of them as a meal. I wasn't sure what to expect but went for it figuring I'd try it sooner or later. Plus, nothing else was really floating my boat.

J had better luck. He ordered the cider-brined pork chop, which came with a three-apple relish and deliiiiicious mashed potatoes (three potato mash). I guess that's the three theme going on.

We've already been back to Liberty Tavern for dinner, and will probably go again soon to try their brunch. R3 has yet to have iEat feet walk through the door again. We'll give it another chance eventually, but it just seemed like it wasn't really worth it.

Tulum Mexico

Artist Jay Rolfe travelled to Tulum Mexico to see the ancient Mayan ruins. Perhaps it will inspire a Jay Rolfe 3DSSC painting. Tulum is on Mexico's Riviera Maya coast about 2 hours south of Cancun. The coastal site was beautiful, and the stone buildings and pyramid impressive. Tulum had been a seaport, a trading center. The day we visited Tulum was the only rainy day we had in Mexico. My face could have told you we had little rain, as my face peeled from sunburn for a week after returning. Today's first photo is of some of the impressive stone buildings, the second photo is of Jay Rolfe and his wife Randy Rolfe at the site, and the third photo is of the beautiful shoreline just behind the building in the first picture.

It's been raining for days at home. The drought we've had for the past few months seems to be well over.

Relief in sight

Well the fires are far from out.. but with cooler weather and less wind the firefighters are making headway with these horrible fires. Still no word about the cabin but we're pretty sure it's still standing.

Wirenut gets his first review!

Hey everyone! Wirenut (book 3 in the Specialist series) just got his first review. Check it out...

Shannon Greenland kept me on the edge-of-my-seat during MODEL SPY, so I was thrilled when DOWN TO THE WIRE hit bookstores. Luckily, my excitement was not short-lived, for Greenland's sequel packs even more punch than the first, and certainly doesn't disappoint. While GiGi was predominately the main character in MODEL SPY, DOWN TO THE WIRE brings her in as a large part of the story; but provides quite a bit of info about Frankie. Frankie is one of the more rugged of The Specialists. He doesn't seem to deal well with authority, and truly has a mind of his own. Despite his rebel-like demeanor, however, he possesses such an amazing amount of knowledge that is sprinkled throughout the story, which will truly make your jaw drop. Of course, the fact that Greenland drops a total bombshell about Frankie's past, and his family, doesn't hurt much either. The relationship between GiGi and Frankie is so enjoyable. They truly possess that brother/sister friendship that makes them interact well. And the fact that there is no sexual tension between them makes the story simpler. Those who read MODEL SPY will adore the budding romance between GiGi and David, as they attempt to find a moment alone to enjoy each other's company, but the romance doesn't stop there. Frankie also gets to meet up with a potential love interest, who is a wonderful new character, and adds a little mystery to the story. Greenland has woven such a fabulous new installment to the series, and provided quite a cliff-hanger ending that will certainly have fans racing to the bookstore to find out what happens next. You don't have to be tech-savvy to love this series!

Artist Jay Rolfe completed his new "mystery" sculpture yesterday. He's very excited about it, the subject and how it came out. It's 10 feet 4 inches high and over 8 feet wide and deep. He doesn't have a good photo of it yet, so here's another tease. Can you guess what it is? You can guess by clicking on "comments" at the end of the post and making your guess.

Dear Prudence...

...a random thought here. I remember when this song was the shit, well with people who "were mod" I moved to New Mexico to go to school, I was 19...I was so afraid and felt so alone and so did not fit in. It was an all Indian School, but they were from the rez and had like 8th grade education, I graduated high school. I felt so out of place, I had a dorm room with 4 beds and I had two room mates, they were never there...one night I missed Cali so bad, I missed my friends, I missed my life. I had this on tape and I had walkman "lol dating myself here" and I put this "tape" in and I remember dancing my ass off to this song! I cried and I laughed...it was my alone time...and yeah, I felt so alone. Just me and this song, I will never forget it.

My Mom's Cabin

One of the many fires in SoCal is called the Slide fire. It's up near Green Valley Lake. This is where my mom's cabin is. Harry and I along with many friends have visited this area the past few years. Now the first has completely surrounded the small town. Everyone has been evauated and reports are coming in that of the 300 strutures 200 of them are burnt down. Also of the six buildings that make up the town of Green Valley are gone as well. It's a very sad down. Green Valley was such a beautiful place to relax and now it's blacken and smuldering. The last we heard the fire was two streets away from the cabin but it looks like the cabin was spared... at least for now. This fire is 0% contained. Just have to keep our fingers crossed.

You can see the lake in the middle of this picture.. the red outline is what has been burned.. Green Valley is completely surrounded by flames.

I just realized...

...I could never be a Vampire. I enjoy the sun to much! Was thinking about 30 Days of Night today (which I saw, gory!) and I was thinking of the Anne Rice books. I'm not sure I would want to outlive my family but I would like to fly all over the world whenever I wanted. I like the vampires in the Anne Rice books...they're so romantic and so powerful! I would miss the sun though, sometimes when I just feel down or don't feel well...I go and sit in the sun. It calms me and just makes me feel better. It's also nice to lay out with others. *grin* Happy Hump Day!

"Peace Table With Duchamp"

Artist Jay Rolfe completed his sculpture "Peace Table With Duchamp" which is currently not for sale. Here are 2 photos of it, one in use as a bar table which is why it is currently not for sale. We will have some of our friends join us and Duchamp and use the stools that are empty in the photo.

The Brown Moon

With all the smoke in the air we have a very brown full moon. It's very bizarre. Some fires are getting under control but other are still on the rampage.

Fires, Fires, Everywhere

This has been a really bad few days. There are fires all around Southern California. From Santa Barbra to San Diego. Thousands of home have been lost and half a million people have been evacuated. This has been the worse wildfires I have seen in years. It's super dry and the santa ana winds are blowing. Today I walked out of work and looked up at the beautiful blue skies. Then looking at the horizon there was this thick black/brown smoke all the way around me. We had fires on the north, souch, east and west of us. We had ash and smoke coming from 70 miles away. It looks like all of SoCal is on fire.

The Vet

Today was Daisy's biannual Vet visit. She is always happy to leave the house and today was not exception. But once she realized where we were going and when we pulled up to the Vet building she started to whimper. It's like dragging dead weight when going inside. I really don't understand her fear since the Vet hasn't been a horrible place for her. She occasionally gets shots but that is the extent of it. Everything went well, she lost some weight, which is good. The only thing the doctor said is that she'll need some dental work. And with dental work the knock out the dog so they had to do some blood test to make sure everything would be okay with the anasteshia. Well for that they had to take blood and would be doing in the back. So the vet picked Daisy and carried her way. The look on her face was of sheer panic and confusion on why we were giving her away. About ten minutes later the tech person comes back not looking too happy and handing us Daisy back. He mentioned that they will be having a dental sale on Feb and we should wait to make our appointment then. We really like this Doctor. We were good to go and I went to pay the bill. $450.00. I almost fell over.. our normal visits are about $100.00 so I was not expecting this. Oh well she's our little girl and her health is very important. So now we have to wait till Feb to make an appointment for her dental work.. which I know she is just going to love.

Sh*t Happens

Yet another story about my life living on a RV...

I go out to empty my black tank (that’d be the poop), and then I go back inside the RV.

I smell something horrible, leave the RV, circle around to the side, and see a HUGE pond of waste on the ground.

I gag/scream/cuss and out comes the neighbor.

I’m hysterical, not knowing what to do. Neighbor is calm.

Neighbor shrugs. “You’re septic tank is backed up. It happens. Sh*t happens.” Ha, ha, ha.

I can’t help but chuckle, too.

Neighbor’s wife comes out, holding hankie over her face. “Shoo-wee. Your sh*t stinks.”

I roll my eyes. What do they think they are, comedians?

I get my cell and call the front office. “Help? There’s poop floating in my side yard.”

Within seconds, not one, not two, not three, but four maintenance men show up. Apparently floating poop in considered an emergency.

They shut off the main water to my side of the campground.

Out come other neighbors. “Where’s our water? I was in the middle of a shower. I’m thirsty.”

My comedian neighbors both point to me.

I guiltily wave to everyone standing about.

They narrow their eyes.

Head maintenance man holds up his hands. “It’s not her fault,” he defends me. “There’s nothing to see here. Everyone go back inside.”

No one listens.

So I slink back inside, get my stuff together, and leave the RV. “I have to go to work,” I tell all the hard working maintenance men.

“Sure,” say the neighbors. “Leave us with your stink.”

I hold up my cell. “Call me if you need anything. Ya know, to catch a piece of floating poop or whatever.”

Some of the neighbors laugh.

At least I gave them their amusement for the day.

...Turns out some kids down the way from me had stuffed toys and pine cones in their septic tank, and it backed up the whole campground. It just happened to erupt in my yard. (sigh) This is my life.

Today was my uncles birthday party. It was going to be at his daughter's Renee's place out in Hidden Hills. When they have parties they are pretty much and all day thing. We haven't been to Renee's since last Christmas so I wasn't exactly sure I knew the directions. But I figured between Harry and I we would managed. Well we start to drive and continue to drive and I start to notice that none of this looks familar to me. We get past Agora Hills and I turned to Harry and say " I think we went to far" but I didn't see a sign that said "Hidden Hills" or Mulhollun Drive. Harry says "oh I saw a sign for Mulhollum a while back. So we turned around and headed back and of course there the exit was, only 2 miles from where go got on the freeway. So we found the exit and I tried to call my Dad because I couldn't remember the street she lived on. Well his phone had no siginal so we were on our own. After three attempts at dead ends we finally found the right street and made it there.

The party was fun. We got to meet Wally's sister Betty who was visiting from Hawaii and also having a birthday. We hung out and ate for about five hours. I knew we had to take Dad home so we left around 7:30pm and went home to pick up Daisy. I was already super tired and I still had to drive an hour and a half to Corona to drop off day and then back again. Well by the time we got home.. around 11pm I was so tired I could barely keep my eyes open.. after watching the news for five minutes we headed to be for some much needed sleep.

Dumbledore is Gay

Yesterday while on her press tour, J.K. Rowling was asked about Dumbledore's love life. Jo said she always felt that Dumbledore was gay.

Now there is no mention of this in the books but I always had my suspicions that this was the case. Of course this revelation has caused quite an uproar. There are three camps, one is made up of people who kind of knew and is happy that it is finally announced. Another would be people who had no idea but still are cool with it and the third of course are people who now say the books have ruined by this info.

I belong to a lot of Harry Potter yahoo groups made of people from all over the world. I can't understand why when people here gay they think of pedifiller. I have read many comments about how gross it is now knowing that he is gay and the kind of relationship he had with Harry. I also can't believe people say that now that they know this information they can't like Dumbledore anymore, even though nothing has changed in the books.. Dumbledore is still the same Dumbledore.

Being a gay man might skew my view, but I don't see what Dumbledore being gay has to do with the story of Harry Potter. Nothing is ever mentioned in the books. The stories haven't changed, we just get a little background info on one of the main characters.

I'm proud of Jo for making this announcement, it shows that strong, powerful people can also be gay and that it's okay. I guess you will always have "religious" people spewing their hate and mean comments... oh well… such is life.

Creating Sculpture

Artist Jay Rolfe is creating more works. I recently finished a sculpture I plan to keep and use in my home. My computer still isn't working properly, so I'm not posting photos again yet. Soon I'll have one you can see. And I've been working on another sculpture which will take a week or two to complete.

That's the latest step of artist Jay Rolfe on his Journey From Starving Artist To 21st Century Picasso. You may view some of Jay Rolfe's unique artistic idea, his 3-D Shaped Stretched Canvas paintings, on his website at http://www.3dssc.com/.

I rarely, no, wait never..

...post anything first or controversial, but this...I haven't seen, www.godtube.com and I have to say. I'm scurred, I saw this video and I was like WTF? First of all Kendall I'm sorry, no offense or anything but just needed to say what I had to say on this. First of all, "you can choose life or you can choose death?" um, I choose life...oooooh but if I don't choose Jesus, then I'm dead k, got it. They gonna talk about how "Mohamed can't set you free, Buddha can't set you free, but only Jesus can" ok come on now...isn't that a BIT opportunistic? I mean talk about recruiting! Then they are going to say the Devil is going to Hell, um isn't he the landlord? In my culture there is no devil or hell, then they say "but the Devil doesn't care if you're Buddhist or a Jehovah Witness, he just doesn't want you to be a born again Christian". So um, all you Buddhist and Jehova's...you cool...you going to Heaven, he don't want your souls. Then they say "we are living for God" no, no I'm not...God guides me (or whatever higher power you have) but He guides me and my life is free will, my life is mine given to me by my higher power. Then they do say "you're sins can be as white as snow"...ok, they come in colors? I hope mine are a rainbow. Anyways watch the video, express yourself...I honestly believe modern religion will fold upon it's self and collapse. Just like the Druids, most of the Wiccans and other religions that didn't have a PR rep did. I think there are more vids from these two, but really, I heard all I needed. ;-) peace (oh and when I say peace, I mean it, no strings attached).



..oh, and I would so DO the guy in the hat. :-D

Boston Legal

Ok, so I'm getting ready to put on a DVD 'cause they are backing up because of my addiction to TV, so before I put it in...I see Boston Legal on. I see Candice Bergen on the screen and I love her! So I watch and now, I just watched the whole damn show!! I am never going to get these DVD's, but I liked Boston Legal, it was smart, sexy and funny. Tonight's episode dealt with a soldier who did 30 years in the military and then came out (it was MEANT for me to become a Boston Legal fan) and Candice (or her character actually) just gave the best monologue about living in America and how we are supposed to be this Democratic superpower but of all the countries involved with NATO just us and Turkey discriminate gays in the military. It was really good. So now *sigh* I have another show I must watch. LOL I am so lazy...hope everyone is having a good week! ;-) peace

Nothing much going on.

This week has been a fairly quiet week. Didn't do anything fun or special. Worked hard as work is really getting crazy and when I get home I plan on organizing my toy room but very little of that actually gets done because I'm so tired. Instead I spend a few hours with Harry before I head to bed.

I did enjoy some good TV this week. Little People Big World is back and is a good as ever. Another funny Big Bang Theory, an awesome Heroes, and very charming Pushing Daisies.

All in all not much is going on.

Liberty Tavern

Liberty Tavern is a new kid on the Clarendon block (or more appropriately, the Wilson block). Mrs. K (not of Tollhouse fame, but of restaurant recommendation fame) recommended this new corner spot for my next local dinner.

Although I was lucky enough to taste the summer menu on its last week, we are now in AUTUMN at LT, so I'll return soon for some of those delicious sounding dishes, including pumpkin ravioli--yummmm.

I started with the Clarendon Market Salad, which had pole beans, diced potato, greens, and goat cheese. The herb dressing had a very refreshing and light flavor, and it was GREEN! Yes!

For my main course I chose the Summer Pizza sans ham, because it was its last hurrah on the menu. Fontina and sweet and sticky figs made this pizza truly heavenly. There were some greens on top, so I guess that added a health factor, but I could've left them aside. Also, this pizza was HUGE. It was priced as a meal for one person, but I only ate about 1/3. J had a gnocchi appetizer that had tiny gnocchi pellets mixed in with veggies and other things I couldn't identify but liked the taste of. I know, very descriptive. If you want that kind of detail, see Mr. Sietsema--he's all class and I'm all sass, and that's just the way it is. J's dinner was the fish and chips--again with the REALLY generous portions! He liked it, which means they did a good job not messing up what's easy--fried food. Fried food tastes good, but it's not to die for. It's fried, and whatever you fry like that will basically taste the same.

Our service was attentive and not smothering, the space was--hmm, we sat outside, so it was lovely to watch the traffic of Wilson Blvd, and overall I had a great time. I had an allergic reaction later that caused me to delay the writing of this post, but as it turns out, NOTHING I ate at LT caused it. Yay, now I can return there soon.

Things End... New Beginnings

Well today is offically the day. It's our last day in the apartment. We haven't been there for a week but today is officially they day we had to be out. The only thing we had left was to put the shower head back on and take the cans to recycling.

I had gotten up early again and started to unpack the toy room and organize. Once Harry got up we went to the recycling place and turned in about 3 1/2 bags of crushed cans and got about $80 bucks. We then went over to the apartment, put on the shower head, took one last look and said our goodbyes. It was a good apartment. It was the first place Harry and I got together. So there are many good memories there.

Once home I kicked in to over drive and started to organize the garage, office, bedroom, living room and toy room. By the end of the day I had finished everything I wanted to.... well almost everything. The house is unpacked and everything is in it's place except the toy room. That will take me a bit longer to complete. After I finish the toy room we have to move on to the garage where we have several boxes that need to be gone through and decided to keep or trash. The house looks great and Harry, Daisy and myself are very happy it's all over. Now we can enjoy life in a house.

Soon as I have finished my toy room will be having a house warming party.. be on the look out.

Moving the Jeep

Well today I attacked my toy room. I really wanted to finish unpacking everything and start to put things up. but we had to move Harry's Jeep, which I knew would take several hours. It is currently non-operational so I had asked my brother, who has a ball on his truck to come help tow it to the house. Well my brother, sister-in-law and dad arrive. We go to UHaul and find out that in order to use there car dolly you had to disconnect your drive shaft from your rear tires. It sounded like a lot of work for such a small thing. It was also going to cost my $39.95 to rent the dolly. After hearing what we had to do to tow it Michael said I should just use AAA. Of course I had thought of that but wasn't sure they would move a car from one place to another, it really wasn't an emergency. Well we figured it would be cheaper and a lot less hassle to try. So I called up AAA and since I have the "classic" deal I get 7 miles of free towing and they had no problem moving the jeep.

Before we called AAA my dad, lora and mike took a look at the Jeep and said it sounded like it was fuel problem, that it was either the fuel filter which was easy to change or the fuel pump which is a bit tougher to change. So Harry and I replaced the fuel filter but still it didnt' work... it seems it's the fuel pump.

So I should have went with my first instict and went with AAA but instead I spent about five hours of my unpacking time dealing with the Jeep.. but in the end the Jeep made it to the house safe and shound and we are a few steps closer to getting it repaired.

I did get back to unpacking but I was very tired and only got a bit more done. Oh well there is always Sunday.

Small Town Gay Bar...

...I just saw this documentary tonight. It was really really good! Kevin Smith produced it. It was sad, it was funny it makes me happy I live in Cali. It's about two small gay bars in rural Mississippi. Like really small towns! If you watch it, the gays there are so happy to have some place to go, it's like mecca for them. Um, I got like 10 places to go right now if I wanted to kick it with gay people. It kind of took me back to my teens when I was coming out, that feeling of acceptance. Only these people were not teens. Amazing how there are still gays out there who are not out to their friends and parents. That really sounded lame, but I've been in Cali since I was 13, when I came out. If you can, watch it...it's on Netflix. ;-) peace

What's Wrong Honey?

Living in a RV means I'm now back to doing laundry in a laundry mat. I have no problem with this because my campground's washer/dryer facility is handily located diagonal to my RV.

Okay, so a few days ago I haul my laundry over, load up the washers, insert my quarters, and away things go. Thirty minutes later I change over to the dryers, insert my quarters, press the start button, and nothing happens. Nada. Zilcho. And here's how the scene went:

Me (grumbling): Damn it all. Now I have to go up to the front office and tell them the dryer's broke and get reimbursed and come all the way back here and switch my clothes to a new dryer and blah, blah, blah... (whine, whine, whine...)

(Enter little old lady all hunched over): "Whats wrong honey?" (said in a smokers rasp)

I whiningly tell her the story.

With an understanding grunt, she hobbles over, rears her arthritic fist back, and slams it into the machine. My clothes magically begin to tumble in the dryer.

Me (staring at her in amazement): I want to be just like you when I grow up.

Little old lady: (smokers rasp) Well you better start working on it now, 'cause I'm one of a kind.

Me (bowing): I'm not worthy.

With a cackle, the little old lady hobbles from the laundry mat and disappears into the mist. (Well, not really mist, but it sounded good for my story. :))

Wagon Wheel...

Ok think of a wagon wheel...there is the center, that's me...and then the spokes..that's all my friends. Ok, I know a lot of people but they don't know each other, they may know OF each other but I don't have a group of friends. So tonight I was so upset, I posted this IM to friend (one of many) ok, I'm not mad. I'm not mad because my roomie got Kings tickets 4th row for tonights game from her GM at work. I'm not mad that she is a "on the bandwagon" fan. I'm not mad that her boyfriend doesn't even like Basketball and once said the Kings were a sissy team. SO I'M NOT MAD THAT SHE GOT THOSE TICKETS AND TOOK HIS SCRAGGLY MARRIED ASS TO THE GAME INSTEAD OF ME! I'm not mad, and I'm not going to say anything. Then she has the nerve to say to him "oh the gay is jealous"

Ok, after all that...she left me a B'day card in August before she left to London and it basically said, we will celebrate when I get back! Ok, cool...um...tonight would have been a GREAT b'day present! But she has a boyfriend now (who is not even a Kings fan) but girls are stupid. That's what I have to remember, um..yeah...that's what I have to remember. ;-) peace

Andrew Wyeth And Me!

Artist Andrew Wyeth and artist Jay Rolfe live 5 miles apart. Yet their painting styles are 5 thousand miles apart. We've lived in the Brandywine Valley most of our lives, yet we see our surroundings very differently. Andrew Wyeth paints this landscape as lonely, cold, and stark (in a technically masterful way). Jay Rolfe sees this landscape as beautiful, green, full of life, and uplifting. The difference just illustrates the principle that it's not the facts that count, but one's response to them that counts.

That's the latest step of artist Jay Rolfe on his Journey From Starving Artist To 21st Century Picasso. You may view some of Jay Rolfe's unique artistic idea, his 3-D Shaped Stretched Canvas paintings, on his website at http://www.3dssc.com/.

El Pollo Rico

Going to El Pollo Rico with my friend E made it obvious that sometime soon--VERY soon--we need to have an Orange Line Chicken Showdown between El Pollo Rico, Pio Pio, and that place that smells ridiculously delicious across from the Ballston mall parking deck.

The menu at EPR is easy, just decide if you want a quarter, half, or a whole chicken. Or two. Accompanied by a seasoned pro, I ordered the quarter chicken "with everything" and got a can (yes!) of CAFFEINE FREE Diet Coke, which you usually just don't find anywhere. The Everything included really delicious and HOT steak fries, a pile of coleslaw, and two sauces--one mayonnaise-based and one that was green and spicy.

My chicken was flavorful and delicious--I'm not the biggest fan of bones and all, so in a perfect world someone else would deconstruct for my leisurely consumption, but I was mentally prepared to go the distance, and I did.

My can of soda, quarter of a chicken, fries, and coleslaw cost a grand total of...$5.45. Right. And I was so full after (seeing as I had cleaned my plate), that I barely even wanted any dessert later! What kind of crazy is that?

By the time we left EPR, the line was out the door. 1/3 of the line was made up of Arlington County police offers. EPR is fast, cheap, delicious, and safe, too!

I had an allergic reaction last week and didn't want to report on my latest adventure until it was figured out--luckily, it wasn't anything I ate at Liberty Tavern. That review, as well as Restaurant 3, is coming up soon!
