a little bit of this a little bit of that



more proof that california has seasons. i love this little view from my upstairs window. i also love the little yappy dog rosie that lives in this yard. yap yap yap. wag wag wag. rosie just forgets the difference between a yap and a wag.

yesterday was amazingly beautiful and probably hovering around 75 degrees. what is more perfect than that. long shadows begin creeping across streets and sidewalks around 1pm. so early. they are impatient shadows.

yesterday was so much fun. lunch with family. shopping with my mom. dinner with kb and bret. and then spontaneous band and people watching at linnaea's. at linnaea's we somehow got the best seats in the house (or courtyard) as the show was outside under the twinkly lights and leafy wisteria. i think our dear friend j.j. set us up more than nicely with the cozy seats in the back with the unobscured and sheltered view of norfolk & western and pasche's new band (i don't know what they are called. rzzl.).

halloween was a long time ago, but i still love this picture. so harmless and creepy at the same time. for instance, what happened to kristin's face? at this point i was still a witch doctor. within an hour i would transform into a pirate. pirates have more manageable hats than witches. and that counts when there is a dance floor. and/or cobwebs.
