January 2009
Digesting awesome indian from flagstaff restaurant. Dog is sitting on lap while we drive the david lynch highway darkness into the unknown.
I am really tired of being in the car. The upside we are 5 hours out and I'm almost finished w mt analogue.
Relaxing in alice in wonderland hotel room with glass of wine, fav music and face mask. Dog chilling on the faux fur throw.
@trebuchet yes. And I'm drinking it. It helps that I have rene daumal to transport me. My dog is swift should we need to catch the rabbit.
Q: What comes out of a beehive? A: a squirrel, a turtle and a seahorse.
@sconstantine oh yes. ps I like your new pic.
@trebuchet Daumal is really wonderful. I recently rediscovered him after a 10 year amnesia.
Watching it snow. Wishing for hot cocoa.
Snow plows in the fast lane. Snowny road tripping with warm heater and VnV nation. Miles and miles from LA dreaming.
Pissing off the gps by not following it. Looking for bfast in abq.
@lajump thanks. We r headed west and got a good and cheap! Bfast in abq. Now its time for the long haul back to la.
@pegorama thanks for the tip. We almost stopped at flying star but opened for a cafe downtown off old rt 66.
On the continential divide. The landscape is snowy beauty.
Hour 12 on the road. Almost at ludlow. Time for pie? Maybe. Or maybe Barstow. Or Astro burger in WeHo. I can't wait to get back to la.
La city limits! Home to my city of dreams.
Did I miss something or are only men speaking at the dealmaker la startup thing. LAME.
readjusting to being in the office after office moved. Almost ready for productivity.
@ilainie thanks! I am so happy to be back!
@ilainie great tip to article about brand of you you you, me me me, personal branding and projects. thanks for sharing.
The dog is confused by the heated seats.
a friend just gave me a pair of huge elk antlers! twitpic for a photo.
@ilainie supposedly. although I thought they were fake at first. Apparently they were/are like the baby teeth of antlers.
@sconstantine no. that is awesome. I feel like I have a moose protector over my desk now.
what are all the geeky girls doing Jan 30 & 31st? Click to find out: http://tinyurl.com/7q7y25
@sconstantine there's a net down there sometimes - otherwise you'll just have to grow wings. :)
@NicolePowers that was great. hope it won't go the way of the electronic car.
how did I miss hearing about the pr0n bailout until now? http://tinyurl.com/a5tdxn
@sconstantine earn em, steal em, buy em or make em. Although I have heard them spontaneous appear overnight as well. :)
@sharakarasic talk to @jaybushman for twitterature.
Slogging through traffic for the writers mtg and artwalk.
OH she could smoke with her vagina.
just finished preping all paperwork for taxes. waiting on some docs before I file - which will be asap.
really trying hard not to go to the cheap DNA sale.
@lifeofreilly DNA clothing store in LA and Venice. http://dnaclothing.com/ ps. the website has no info.
@DaveLaFontaine glad we got caught up earlier this week. :D
really impressed with my #livescribe pen. used it last night@zombie planning session and notes are already in my computedor.

@1timstreet LOL @lucindamichele mmm, grilled cheese @kreative2009 thanks for the advice.
la dolce vita is fellini's modern satyricon
@lifeofreilly what is an L glass lense?
@pegorama that must have been surreal.
I see some new web designs in my future. Anyone want to design a superkillerawesome new website or two for me?
oh how I love ragtime music. Scott Joplin marathon has just begun.
yet another reason to love maple trees? the maple leaf rag. others: smooth blonde wood, pancakes & maple butter.
ugh - too many email addresses. just sent a geek dinner one out from the startupla address. feel like dork. :(
@lucas_gonze I LOVE Solace. Was listening to it over and over this am. :) It's time for ragtime to come back methinks!

well, I have more than made up for my hungover procrastination yesterday. feeling good, gonna take a break, even though still so much to do.
gorgeous day outside. walked the pup and now he is fast asleep in his usual position (in mink fur lined bed next to my desk)
I think I am going to get over my hatred for whole foods this year. They have tapioca flour and acerola pulp. and lots of shiny products.
t-minus 60 minutes to girls gone wild surreal ragtime zombie research slumberparty at casa de hbomb.
OH gods been making me a mix tape.
@sconstantine glad you liked it. Now, let's make our own journey.
@exador23 to dream, while awake in a sargasso dream.
@pegorama I am a fan of acerola (amazon cherry) juice. no hangover - I promise.
feeling super perky, awake and clear - despite unmoderated slumberparty craziness.
@exador23 :) btw - have you seen Holy Mountain? You MUST immediately. I think you would find it entertaining and eye candy
two words: ragtime breakdancing.
@exador23 it is jaw dropping insane. I suggest a mass group watching of it.
domestic bliss. cooking and jameriquoi. who knew peeling potatoes could be so zen?
@sixwing you will just have to come to my show then. ;)
love the tasks lists integration into gmail. finally a way to get my actions out of my email box.
I absolutely love my #livescribe pen. I've been using it all day for phone interviews. It records the conversation as I write! WIN.
@ajpape interesting. thanks for the tip. I see no one is doing it in LA.
@amoration yeah, but I am kind of burned out on the event organization. :) I'll go/help if someone orgs/takes the lead.
using ammo for feng shui remedy.
getting things done, but not accomplishing anything. want to hit reset button. "pushing c**ks**king boulder up the mF**ing hill."
@Underseen - the easiest bet would be to keep it for myself. ;)
headed downtown to the brewery for some practice. today has been all over the map.
I feel really good about practice tonight. Everytime I do the show it just gets better and better. #hollabackthriller
@ilainie that was a great rehersal. we rock! @miro7 is going to steal the show just a little from the bananas.
@Monicuta awesome. let me know how I can help.
just remembered that BM ticks are NOW ON SALE! http://tickets.burningman.com/
@djmermaid me too. my place in line hasn't updated for a while. :( I hope I'm not one of those lost in the gears...
@amoration Im waiting in line, but my number hasnt updated in while.
@xprize fascinating take on taking sides in Israel/Palestine conflict. That attitude makes it worse NOT to take a side.
@curiousjosh everyone seems to be having problems. I can't find information anywhere.
anyone know where there is real information about burningman tickets? the ticketing system if F-ed.
@daMongolian thanks for the info. I guess the system is f-d up. The Usual!
I came back from lunch with BM ticket screen waiting for me. got me tix afterall. :)
How do ADD people get anything done? I think I've come down with it.

felt something shaking, but no words of an earthquake in weho.
writing is very hard for me while doing the master cleanse, because I am used to drinking coffee as I do it. might break down & make a cup.
I have hacked my coffee addiction. Lemonade in a coffeecup as day 5 begins.
@shesgeeky that's awesome news. I'm so glad I decided to come.
it's really pouring here in WeHo - perfect writing weather.
@ilainie thanks for the tips! I tricked myself by putting the drink in a big coffee cup and it's working!
