silly string memories of lava lamps and fart machines

why do i still have this?tequila!who took this one?boss lady and the slacker ( the slacker being me)floor moves! ugh!the bickersonsthe lollyboysjames the elf (ps. clicking on a pic will direct you to a larger version of it)
this time of the year always brings back fond memories of the best job i ever had. say what you will about working at the mall, i've never had such a fun time at work in my life. working at spencer gifts (yes, that store. the one with the funny t-shirts that everyone finds impossible not to read out loud) There were many reasons, especially between august 2001 and may 2002 that it was the greatest job in the world.

1) my boss was the coolest
2) my co-workers were so fun. we actually became friends.
3) that store is just a lot of fun. sure, it has it's not- so- fun moments (inventory, anyone?), but all in all who wouldn't like a job where you get to play all day?

i guess i just want to say thanks to all my spencers peeps. i miss you guys. your legend is hard to live up to, and hopefully sometime soon, we can all get together, have a few drinks, and talk about old times :)

We had our momentary silent freak out when we realized it was him, at which point I quietly leaned over and told him he was awesome. He quietly thanked me, and normalcy was restored until a few kids came over asking for autographs. He obliged but soon realized the mini pencil he was given to sign with wasn't going to work. Thanks to my new Andy Warhol Happy Bug Day tote bag, complete with handy organizational top compartment, i had easy access to my pen. I handed it over with great joy, and he was abl

awaiting the arrival of the great pumpkin

happy halloween everyone! tonight is the night that all of the little ones have been waiting for all year. i remember being going trick or treating as a kid and the smell of mixed candies and pillowcases, the stomach ache you'd get from consuming 1/2 your bagworth an hour after you'd get home, and protecting what was left of your stash from the hungry hands of those around you. I used to hide a lot of my candy, and then forget about it and find it a year later, gooey and stuck to a notebook in the back of my closet. Now that i am older, however, my halloween usually takes place at a party the weekend before the big day. This year, i once again ventured to Pasadena to celebrate with my friends Liz and Melanie. here is a short re-cap of the trip highlights - to combat my discomfort when flying, i had a few drinks, became very relaxed and accidently left my id on the plane. i needed a new one anyway. the picture on my old one was from, like, 8 years ago. -i re-aquainted myself wit
