I thought after this weekend of activities–AIDS Walk, graduation dinner, and the wake–I would get to relax and pack like a mad woman. Wrong. The only thing that relaxed was my immune system, it seemed. Kids. I’m sitting here with a sore throat and zero energy. And it’s T-minus 2 days. I am seeing my doctor tomorrow morning. And running to Office Depot to buy more address labels I completely screwed up today at work because I was fighting to get through the day and get things done. And running to the pharmacy to pick up my prescription. Then running...

I had the weirdest night of sleep last night. As you guys know, I dream a lot. I would dream so much I wake up feeling like I haven’t slept at all. I would dream so lucidly Brandon had to wake me up because I was screaming. But last night, I dreamed. And I dreamed. And I dreamed. I remembered waking up many times between stories, rolled over and started a new one. I remembered dreaming about being back at Mater Dei, which I do often, but the building just wasn’t the same. I ran into my teacher who was...

This morning at the Los Angeles Convention Center, in the South Hall, the gigantic banner announces, “Erotica LA”. Yes. The p*rn convention is back. But people were coming OUT of the building, not going in. Odd. But then I saw more people crossing the streets, heading for the West Hall. A big crowd had gathered in the courtyard outside the West Hall. The electronic sign in the corner blinked: “Welcome New Citizens. US Naturalization Ceremony. West Hall.” God bless America. * On the other hand, yesterday on Kevin & Bean morning show on KROQ, my beloved Psycho Mike spoofed “Hey...

I came home today, plopped on the floor in front of Brandon and cried a little. There is such thing as doing too much even when you made up an excuse in your head to dive in head first and do everything in your power to keep busy and therefore keep your mind off of other things. There is just so much work right now. I usually enjoy the challenge but with my state of mind and time ticking down to the trip, I am just overwhelmed. I don’t feel like I had enough time in a day to do...

Because my brain doesn’t function any more, I’m just going to write whatever came to mind somewhat in a chronological order. I baked last night. The cupcakes were a massive hit at the company birthday party which was immediately after the early meeting we set up. Will blog at HmmFoodGood later. I had the early big meeting this morning. My alarm was set for 4:45 a.m. I was up around 1:30 a.m., then 2:45 a.m. and then 4 a.m. I picked up the Weevils t-shirts from Mario, Celeste’s brother. They’re awesome. I realized that I have become very cynical about...

I am 8 days before I leave for home. Did I tell you that? Yes, I leave in the middle of next week and be back July 9. I don’t think I’ve ever been this busy before my trip in my life. Then again, that’s called being a responsible, hard working adult. And you wonder why most of the time I’d rather be a 6 year-old. Yesterday We got a call from Justin late in the evening. As it turned out, he couldn’t get the 4th of July week off after all and therefore he had to cancel the road...
