How do? Let me tell yas... It's the middle of December and there are people walking around in front here in wife beaters. That's pretty nice for this time of year. Mornings have been stellar - clear all the way to the Getty, sitting slightly up on a hill above the 405. The evenings are not bad either: last night around 11 or so, I caught sight of two shooting stars. That got me up and out onto the deck to witness more. Or less. Less. Oh well. In this same line of view, the annual decoration of the Capitol Records Tower in Hollywood; a Christmas tree of sorts, visible above numerous Golden arches for the very nearby McDonalds. Lovely. WOuld make a great card, had I the optical hoohah to capture such. I desire this year in, year out. I can wait.
All good things to those who wait. Primed and stoked, I am I am.
Monday, the 18th, Jury Duty. Yeah, I did it. This was put off from months ago as I thought that I was doing a Simple Life shoot - yes, the Paris/Nicole one. But that remains to be seen. Ms Ritchie is getting some unfavoprable press with her driving skills, or lack thereof. Let me show you the massive amounts of info I had to supply these people with to be considered worthy or what have you. Amazing - they now have more info on me than any group or organization I've been involved with ever.
Enjoy this laugh out loud thingie:
