bday weekend
thanks to everyone who came thru to my dessert bday party. it was a beautiful bday weekend spent with family and friends. i’m glad i won everyone’s money in a late night game of texas hold ‘em. but was there even a doubt. come on now…the house always wins! it also helps when folks like JP unintentionally “show” you his cards. bet you didn’t know that. it was great to see my fam on saturday. mom and dad gave me an envelope of good ol’ cash which was exactly what i needed. i know – 32 yrs old and still accepting money from my parents. hey – there ain’t no shame in that since artists should be supported by the community. i had a great talk with my baby brother on the ride back home to suburbia. we’re finally getting much closer. i still have all the old letters he use to write me when i was in college. i can’t believe he’s so grown now. i had a scary 2 hour drive back home in the snow. glad i had 4WD but i was still fishtailing occassionally. not as bad as some of the other cars though. of course the snow didn’t stop me from going out to Helene & Ryan’s bday party. it was a great little party. thanks for the lift overthere sam! it’s a sign that there’s quite an age difference when you have an over 20 something corner. not an over 21. yep an over 20 corner ‘cuz there were lots of youngens at the party. i still had a great time playing twister and meeting folks who knew my lil brother. plus i was there to celebrate with ryan and helene. sunday was a good day too. woke up around noonish exhausted and hosted the creative meeting for mango tribe. it was good to write and share secrets with the mangoes. i’m looking to more creative time and less drama with MT. woke up this morning early at around 7pm and saw “anchorman” on cable. that movie is hilarious especially the “showdown” scene. just classic with the spoof of the man killed with a trident and the random guy on fire that seems to be in every fight scene. had me rollin’. so far the week is starting off real good.

ANIDA!
I can honestly say that you are the most fun activist-drunk ever. Two nights in a row where I got to see you in all your glory. We MUST do this again sometime!
oh no you didn’t!
i was wondering how i lost to YOU whenever it came down to the last 2-3 players.
i reread your old “confessions of a superhero” poem…i guess i should’ve known…you don’t just cheat at uno.
next time.
you’re going down.
Re: oh no you didn’t!
i apparently still don’t know how to use lj.
Re: ANIDA!
ahem…i’m a good muslim..ahem i don’t drink…i’m not sure what you’re referring too. LOL.
oh ryan…if folks only knew how unserious and inappropriate i can be – i’d be run out of the activist scene. this is why i can never be a leftist or anarchist. actually it’s also because i like shoes and fashion too much. if there are lessons i can pass along to you youngens it’s:
1.) never ever take yrself too seriously
2.) nothing wrong with cheap white zin
3.) own your Asian flush and work with it
4.) make sure no one has a digital camera handy when you’re feeling “ridiculous”
HA HA HA. more fun times to come buddy.
Re: oh no you didn’t!
um…there was no cheating…i thought we had an unspoken alliance.
i can’t help it if you’re a bit loose with yr cards.
Re: ANIDA!
….Oh that reminds me I need to still develop that one role of film I took in Chicago that has you on it Anida…..and noooo there’s nothing “ridiculous” on it……and happy belated b-day
……
Re: ANIDA!
yes – develop the picts. i love finding out what’s on that mysterious roll of film that you find years later. i can bet my hair was different. i don’t like the way it looks right now. i know…so vain.
Re: oh no you didn’t!
I want to read Confessions of a Superhero. AND I want to play you in Uno. It’s go time!
