| I was worried after the cancellation of the DM show up north. They said he needed 48 hours to rest his vocal cords, just in time for the San Diego show. I thought that that was cutting it too close. Well my worries were confirmed this morning: tonight's show has been canceled as well. You don't know how excited I was...we had awesome seats. I have tix for the Bowl show on Sunday, but I'm worried about that one too. According to their site, the tour will resume with the two shows at the Bowl, but a lot can happen in the next two days. Although I am so crushed (yes, I cried), I'd rather they cancel shows now so Dave can heal his cords than to see him damage them further and possibly not be able to sing again. Cancel shows vs. no more DM. Yeah, it's a no-brainer. Hopefully they'll come back at the end of the tour to make up for all the cancelations.
And screw all the "fans" who say they're canceling for financial reasons. Like money is even an issue.
Wishing Dave a speedy recovery. His body's been thru so much this tour... | comments: Leave a comment   |

| tonight i had to make that decision all pet owners dread. but i didn't "own" her. kitty kate was a part of my family...she WAS my family, for 10 of her 19 years. she wasn't well...kidney disease...trouble eating...dehydration...loss of use of her back legs...unable to control her bladder...endless infections...the list goes on and on. i'm hoping that seeing it in writing will eventually dissipate the feeling of guilt i cant shake. my head knows it was the right decision but my heart...well thats another story.
kate was the total lap cat. a constant presence. i think thats what ill miss the most. her warm fluffiness by my side. she had the sweetest disposition, the strangest meow and an endless supply of unconditional love.
i must remember that she is no longer in any pain or discomfort. but it doesn't make it any easier.
my heart hurts.
i will miss you, kitty kate. | | comments: 2 comments or Leave a comment |
| so i posted a "missed connections" ad on craigslist. had a connection w/ a guy at the paul van dyk show last night. he probably wont see it, but i thought it would be fun just to try. well, i got a response. not from the guy im looking to connect w/. it's some other guy who was also at the show. even though he knew he wasnt the guy, he responded cuz he thought id be hot and interested in hooking up or something. he's 24 and "very much into older women". i dont know what it is about younger guys. they just have this thing for older women. the show, btw, was awesome. the venue was a bit small. it just felt way too crowded. we definitely were above capacity. i just kept thinking, "what'll happen if there's a fire..."
in other news, I WON TIX TO SEE THE FOO FIGHTERS AT THE GRAMMY'S!!! just winning something is pretty cool. and i love them. especially dave. he's so funny. i love a man with a sense of humor. so sexy. so yeah, look for me in the audience holding a sign asking to have dave's babies.

| | deep dish. what can i say. another awesome night. they never disappoint. 2 hours definitely was not enough. im always sure to catch them whenever theyre in town. fun night all around. the candy ravers are so entertaining. and i dont know if im just getting old or what but they look so young! it got me thinking...it's gonna suck for my kids cuz im not gonna let them do anything! i know what goes on out there. i just couldnt imagine letting my kids do what i once did. but you know theyll find a way...cuz i certainly did. | | comments: Leave a comment |
| | what can i say about the muse show other than it was F'IN AMAZING!!! seriously, i didnt think they could outdo the greek show. unfortunately i wasnt able to get floor tix but it was cool watching everyone totally getting into it. they definitely rocked the forum. and matt bellamy...he's quite yummy. theres just something about him that i find quite sexy. who knew playing the piano could be so hot. he's such an awesome musician. not sure when theyll be back in the states but im afraid getting tix will be a challenge. theyre getting too popular. great for them but sucky for me. but i do know ill be seeing them every chance i get. that was one of the best shows ive been to. ever. | | comments: Leave a comment |
| there was a good sized fire tonight in malibu. beachfront, multi-million dollar homes. celebrity neighborhoods. i just heard on the news that they normally dont fly those water-dropping helicopters after nightfall but decided to do so for this fire. that got me thinking...would they have been so vigilant in their fight if this had happened in an unaffluent area?

so we're a week into the new year and ive already managed to fail on working on one of my "resolutions". granted, ive had this one for as long as i can remember. and granted, i dont like to list out what i want to work on in the new year. i mean, why do we need the new year as a reason to bring about change? the "resolution" im referring to is to stop procrastinating but isnt waiting till the new year to work on it procrastination in itself? round and round i go, making no sense. so yeah, ive pretty much accepted the fact that yes, i procrastinate. i tend to work better under pressure. but it seems to bring on unnecessary stress. so once again i have it in my head to work on it but we shall see...
i rang in the new year in a pretty mellow way. went to big bear with the family. at midnight we were enjoying homemade drinks and engaging in a pretty competitive game of trivial pursuit. now normally i dont care much for that game cuz it usually makes me feel not so smart but i actually did pretty well. and it brought out the competitor in me. something i never saw myself as. a little bit of me regretted not being at giant's event downtown but it was nice not feeling hung over or cracked out the next day. so i shall see it as a positive way of starting off the new year. and another positive note...i tried snowboarding for the first time which i see as an accomplishment for myself. i almost chickened out before even getting onto the lift. it just felt so awkward trying to scoot to the lift while having one foot strapped in. but i knew id be mad at myself and would just regret the whole thing if i didnt even try. so i got over my fear and ended up having a really good time. i did pretty well when it came to leaning on my toes so i could steer to the left. the heels were a different story. i wasnt able to balance myself and ended up on my butt. so i started on the right side of the hill and rode down diagonally to the left. i was just pleased to be able to stay up long enough to enjoy it. next trip will be for working on the heels and learning how to stop. my body was sore for days but it was a good sore.
i have a good feeling about 2007. i know im gonna continue what i started working on at the end of last year and make real, positive changes. im tired of sitting on my arse just complaining about the state of my life. upward and onward. | | comments: Leave a comment |

| got into my first real car accident tonight. a big ass socal edison truck illegally u-turned into me. he hit me hard enough to crush the area around my rear tire (wheel well?) to make it not driveable. the only damage to his truck was the bumper being pulled back a little. when i tried to call the cops i was put on hold forever. uh good thing im not dying over here!!! and then it took them at least 45 minutes to get there. but not before another cop drove by and just watched us as he continued on down the road. i swear cops are normally swarming santa monica but of course no one's around when you need them. when the cops finally asked us what had happened for the most part our stories coincided. the one detail that we disagreed on was how close we were to the stoplight. but thats totally irrelevant seeing as he illegally made a u-turn from the second left turn lane. duh. so tomorrow morning im gonna have to deal with the insurance co and get a rental. stat. oh and now my back and neck are hurting. fun. ive never been in this situation so im a lil nervous about the process. does my insurance co cover all the bills until it's determined that he was at fault and then get reimbursed from edison's insurance co? am i gonna have to shell out any money and then be reimbursed? will this affect my insurance premium? (it shouldnt, right?) i suppose ill find out when i call it in tomorrow. what a hassle.
ok neck and back are definitely in pain now. great. | | comments: 2 comments or Leave a comment |

| my sister in law's dog passed away the other day. she lived a lot longer than expected. she was a big dog (golden retriever) and inbred and had many medical conditions. luckily my brother got home before my lil niece did. of course she noticed right away that she wasnt around. "wheres my chaos (dog)?" so my sis in law sat her down to try to explain that "chaos was old and went to heaven." now she has no concept of what heaven is. she just turned 3. but she just accepted that explanation. the next morning she had this conversation w/ her mother:
bella: so chaos got old and went to kevin's.
mom: no, she went to heaven.
bella: thats what i said. she went to kevin's.
kids say the darnedest things.
rip chaos. you were a pain in the ass but will be sorely missed. | | comments: Leave a comment |
| it appears ive finally recovered from the food poisoning that attacked my body late monday night. i blame the thai food we ordered for lunch that day. ended up missing 2 days of work. hopefully it wont be a problem that im planning on taking friday off as well. i did learn two things from this experience: 1. kandoos are great. theyre flushable wipes for kids but are quite handy in this kind of situation and 2. tucks pads are also great. tushy feels sooo much better.
i wont be ordering from poon thai any time soon. is it just me or does the name sound kinda naughty? :P | | comments: Leave a comment |
