Year in Status, 2012

Jan 1 - Dec 31, 2012:

I just really amused the Taxas Mexico cashier with my pronunciation of  "Tamarindo." • Homesick _ Watching German movies courtesy of Netflix • Off to Palm Springs w,' Sandra in the morning fora four-day Valentine's outing in the desert. • Laguna Woods ' 'Senor Summit"! Great way to spend a Friday. • Hiking up to Santiago Peak today Highest peak in Orange County, elevation 5,600 ft. There are supposedly a bunch of radio antennae up there, so maybe I will climb one of those as well. • Deep fried cherry pop tart • with Wendy and Bobbie at Frankie's tiki lounge • I like my women like I like my gelato good, cold, and bitter. • Sandra and I were just photographed by DiveBarCulture.com In L.A.s Koreatown. Trying some soup we saw on Anthony Bourdain. • Adopted out one cat yesterday, but brought home two more in its place. The adventure continues. • Sandra and I are celebrating our six-year wedding anniversary today We are accepting gins made of iron. Our number of years of marriage has finally surpassed our number of eats. • Malachi, creator of Axe Cop, just hit me with a foam axe. • Checking out the Dead Kennedys with a severe head cold aner work. Mixed feelings: equal parts excitement, nostalgia, and misery. • Damn it, my floor cleaning robot is rebelling whenever I set it to mop mode. Looks like I'll be the new Branch Manager for Laguna Beach Public Library. I start on the 19th Exciting! • $14 for a vodka-redbull? You bastards. • Looks like I'm gonna he the Gingerbread Man at the library's holiday festival. Need to get fitted fora costume. lean hardly believe it. • Ow- got a knee to the back of the head • I accidentally interrupted a Laguna Beach coven yesterday, so I won't be surprised if I'm a frog by next full moon. • Nothing kicks off a new year like a huge pot of homemade borscht. 

When your holiday spirit is strong but your arms are tiny

John Waters

 If you're paying to see John Waters speak, go ahead and spring for the meet-and-greet.
Dec., 2012.

He was kind of pissed the venue had these promotional cards in the lobby. For the meet and greet, he had a couple boxes of his latest book to sell and sign, but everybody just grabbed these cards and had him sign them.  I don't think he blamed anybody for doing that, but he was a little annoyed. He was like, "Where did you get these?"
