FULL CHEESE FRIDAY
Los Angeles is burning, Napoleon Dynamite was at boba...yup, it's another rousing episode of FCF!!
THE CITY IGNITES
Holy Crap SRD! Tthe city is on fire! 
SPOTTED!
Getting our Friday boba fix, we chanced upon this guy in the parking lot. 
Napoleon Dynamite!!
close up

*thanks SRD for the mad driving skills while I played paparazzi!
SO CUTE I NEARLY DIED.

UGLY AMERICANS - FAMILY STYLE
How do we stop this vile behavior and still maintain our freedom? Our beloved country, land of moral quagmires...
I have no words for people so selfish, hateful and disturbed. To me, these folks are as crazy as any Ted Bundy or Jeffrey Dahmer. It should be illegal to raise your children under the guise of religion, while teaching with the hand of hate. Fred Phelps, you should be ashamed.
The Story of The Phelps "Preachers of Hate" Family
* ps - a google search on FP is quite enlightening, and don't miss his connection to Al Gore buried in the wiki article.
ALARMED
It's not mornings I don't like, I just wish they were at a different time of day.
Sometimes the thought of the day really does happen before 9am. Cheers!

C'EST QWHA?!!
The best thing I've read online this week...and yipes! Mind The Gap, indeed.
* Gap, call us next time you are test marketing an ad campaign. not the sector of the populous, who still sing about having a washing machine, k?
THE BLUEST LADY
Living Green. It seems like this term is being given some serious lip service lately. We raze buildings of historical fascination and merit with an almost palpable glee in Los Angeles. Sadly last year saw the demolition of The Ambassador Hotel and the adjoining Cocoanut Grove Nightclub. For those non history buffs of my generation, this was the seminole spot to see and be seen back in the day, and the site of the Robert Kennedy assassination. By the time conservationists had drawn up petitions, the building was a crumbling mess and a preservation nightmare. Costing far more to renovate at current green standards than demolishing. How did we let such a place, fall into this state of oblivion?
Los Angeles however, is not alone in her blatant neglect. France is guilty on a world wide scale with the debacle that was the decommissioning of the Clemenceau and now the SS Blue Lady. "Floating Ecological Disasters", is the term most environmentalists use. These once majestic ships are now being beached in Bangladesh and hacked apart for scrap, poisoning the workers and the land. Rich with asbestos and a host of other toxins they are left to die in parts of the world with very lax environmental laws and even less enforcement. Often they are beached before any protests or environmental oversights can be started.
In a culture so apt to replace rather than fix, have we left history (and our green future) out in the cold?
the esteemed SS France/Norway/Blue Lady.

SUPER HAPPY MONDAY!!
Last week it happened. There was a death in the apartment. It was Wednesday, and it was the TV. This morning it was replaced by this!!!!
thanks Duncan for the hook up!
HAPPY MONDAY
Mad horoscope action!! Every Monday should be mandated to start this way!
It's challenging now to tell the past from the present as your emotions speak to you from the depths of your subconscious mind. You can transform your hidden feelings into constructive actions by first allowing yourself to sink into your fantasies. Then, if any one feels better than the rest, focus on it and gently nudge your life in that direction. Woo Hooo!
BIRTHDAY BOOTY
Do you ever get the feeling, that some friends know you just a little too well?
wee wienies (pack of 4!) and Joan Crawford in magnet form?! too good!!

NERD FACT
23 is the mathematical number of chaos!
GOOD THINGS!!

NEW AGE...
On being a #7: You rely heavily on your experiences and your intuition, rather than accepting advice from someone. Your hunches usually prove to be very accurate, and knowing this, you follow the directions they seem to guide. Wooo Hoo!
On being born on the 23rd: you are a free-thinker who hates to be "boxed in" by a job or relationship. Charming but sometimes fickle, you have probably broken your share of hearts along the way. Just be up front with your romantic partners about your true needs. Also, avoid a tendency to lash out verbally when you're feeling harried! Don't call me out!
23 is the Royal Star of the Lion. A very fortunate birthday.
* can you tell someone loves their birthday?!!

PREFAB-ULOUS!!
The day before your big birthday you grab SRD and head out of the office early to catch the PreFab architecture panel at the wee MOCA gallery at the PDC!! Which of course turns into an impromptu dinner at your favorite little sushi place around the corner! As luck would have it, this is steps from the original Pinkberry, so you have to get some for the walk back to your wonderful little red car! More nights like this please!
Highlights of the panel included:
A chorus of frogs from someone's cell phone in the middle of a debate on the reality of large scale prefab communities.
"I'm mobile." Ed Moses on being the oldest panelist during the portion of the evening discussing how modern design works better for the young.
"In California you can't discriminate against a modular home."
IndyMac bank loves to finance prefabbers!
My question to the panel, "Do you see this as Plug'n'Play Housing for us young roving and restless designers/artists?" Based on my musing of being able to take your house with you when Malibu is just too damn far, but you adore your home. 
it was packed!!
Louis spent some time in an Eames chair while we hammed it up
sushi!!
awesome
giant scallop (from Japan) with lemon and salt and ono with jalapeño sauce!
this photo inspired an explanation to a bystander, who apparently lives under a rock!
