A few quick updates:

First, pictures!
We went down to the San Diego Bay Parade of Lights a couple of weeks ago. The theme was pirates! Pictures I took from Tuna Harbor are here. (I put them and the Xmas pics in my other picasa gallery, the "family-safe" one. Ha.)
I took a few pics on Xmas with the family, they're here.
And finally, I made zucchini-chocolate biscotti for my mom and Scott for Xmas, and it turned out amazingly good, even though I was totally winging it, recipe-wise. The recipe is over at Cooking in Esco.

Vandals Winter Formal

It ruled. They covered "America. Fuck Yeah!" from Team America and for the last encore, Warren did a mash-up of "The First Noel" and Queen's "Don't Stop Me Now" and it was amazing. I paid 6 bucks for Bud Light in a can. Oh LA. Then we met up with Aaron and his brother and went to Mel's and had beers and food and laughed at people, because there was some seriously funny shit. Oh also, as we were walking to the House of Blues, some dudes were apparently trying to rob that Pink Dot liquor store on Sunset and so we got to stand at the light there, waiting to cross, while the cops had like 8 dudes on the ground with guns out and all that shit. Hilarity.

They're demolishing..

the Antiques Mall at 3rd and Escondido Blvd, which is right behind my apartments. They've been doing it for about a week now. This is what I get to wake up to every morning. And then I get to listen to it for 4 hours until I go to work. I think it's making me slightly batty.

Also, I'm really sick of the reoccurring dreams. And I will be happy when this Xmas thing is over. And so concludes my bitching.

Tis the season...

for fucking weirdness. Thursday, while at work, I had these three things happen to me:
1. Ran into the uncle of a friend I had when I was 12, he recognized me even though he hadn't seen me in like 14 years, and put me back in touch with that friend.
2. Thuggish boy who looked about 18 but said he was 21 spent about 20 minutes at my window hitting on me and harassing me while I was trying to work. Eventually he began to walk away and then two seconds later he and his friends were in some sort of fight with a kid who works with me in front of my window. No idea how it started. Then they tried to fight with security. Then they ran. Cops were called, I had to give a statement, etc..
3. Was helping a woman order tickets for a show on the phone, totally normal call, then at the end she says "Oh while I have you on the phone....oregano is good for the common cold if you make a tea with it"
"Oh ok, good to know, thanks."
Then she proceeds to basically read a list of herbs and their medicinal uses for about 10 minutes, while I keep trying to get off the phone, but I can't really be rude, so I'm basically stuck listening to her. Finally, when she got to the part about about yeast infections and douching, I was like "Woah thar! OK gotta go!" and just hung up.

I'm glad I'm off for three days. Billy Ray Cyrus is playing a show there today, some benefit for Make a Wish, and it's sold out, so I'm really happy in particular that I'm not working today. Also I was fine last night and then woke up this morning with a full blown cold. Que. La. Fuck.
Today is my last day on the mountain, but now I have to drive down to my apartment to get my DayQuil. Then I have to drive down to the airport to pick up my mom and Scott at 9. Today is dumb, I'm already done with it...haha.
