A Month (Roughly) In Pictures
I haven’t posted a whole lot the past month and that’s because I’ve been so busy. Also, the heat is horrendous and my hands keep getting stuck to the melting keyboard. So here, for your peeping pleasure, are pictures of some of the things I did this month (no not those kinds of pictures, get your head out of the gutter).
We watched Bush give a speech and then spent an hour trying not to vomit. In this picture he’s shaking hands with Santa and if he’s good enough for Santa he has my vote. I didn’t watch the whole thing because frankly when I see his face I have a sudden urge to personally distribute birth control to his family. A couple of my favorite gems of the night were :
“The american president must speak clearly and mean what he says.”
“We stand for giving money to faith based groups for thier works of healing.”
Wow. Do you think he understands the meaning of the word hyporcrit? And since when do I stand for giving money only to Christian Fundamentalists? I must have missed that meeting. Want to hear some more of the religious crap he spews? Here ya go.
Ok so what else? Well the building next door had a fire and the firemen came. And a couple days later the cops came and arrested some guys, I think, for fighting. I live in a nice neighborhood huh?
Then we went to Lens Crafters. The Optomotrist shamed me into getting the dang eye drop test that makes you look like a hypno-toad for the rest of the day. Sean and I picked out new glasses and then we paid the (enormous) bill. Since we had to wait an hour before we could pick them up we decided to go to the Farmers Market/The Grove. The Grove is a fancy hangout spot for rich people. It’s a glorified strip mall where people come to buy over priced junk and carry around thier purse puppies and look important. Which, it turns out, is not a great idea on a Saturday when it’s 125 degrees outside. It was horribly crowded and everyone (as usual) bathed in perfume before leaving the house so my head was killing me. But we did see some interesting things. A few things we noticed:
1. The angel statue is very hard to see. What are they doing? Are they dancing, trying to kill each other, is one looking up the others dress?
2. If you really want to snatch a kid all you need to do is hang out at the Farmers Market with a purse puppy (little dogs that women and gay men like to carry around in thier purse like an accesory here in LA). You wouldn’t believe how many kids flock to you and how many of thier parents just ignore them the whole time.
3. There are a lot of homosexual couples here which is cool because I like a diverse group of people around me. But we noticed that while most of the female couples were roughly the same age, most of the male couples consisted of one guy in his 40′s and one guy in his 20′s. Why is that?
Anyway, we would have liked to of picked up some food but a lot of it was over priced and it was very hot so most of the fruit was squishy and leaking anyway. All we ended up buying was some stickers for various people. When we left I snapped a couple picks of the park and a car with horns and a tail and someone dressed as the devil in the drivers seat in front of a lingerie shop and finally the new billboard for the musical : The Ten Commandments.

What else? we ordered pizza which is pretty rare here because we don’t eat out, we don’t eat unk and I’m allergic to it but we splurged this once because it was to dang hot to move let alone cook. My step-sister had her baby girl, she was born a month and a half premature but she’s doing really well now and she’s a total dool baby just like her brother. Sean bought a Replay TV and we worship it on a daily basis. I have no idea how we ever lived without it and I plan to build it a shrine. I bough mom some gourds on eBay and now I’m addicted to eBay. And I got Photoshop CS which just rocks my socks. And the smog and fumes have gotten so bad that Sean had to bring home gas masks so we could breathe.
Last but not least, yesterday’s trip to the pound. Pictures of Niobe.
So that was my month. I hope you enjoyed the pictures 
Good luck and blessinsg, Prana
