Kitchen Sink

Things are quite different around here -- and by around here, I mean around me. I live somewhere else, I haven't been to the office in almost two weeks -- and won't go back until Tuesday. I've not answered my telephone in about the same amount of time. And I went grocery shopping. Oddities.

One week ago, me and the gang went to the birthday party of thatmattdude's co-worker. She just happens to be Adam Corolla's wife. The photo of her flaming cake will not fit in this post. It was pretty dark at their pad (in Sherman Oaks) but what a compound. They had lots of space, fancy cars in their garage and room for a swimming pool and basketball court in the backside. The food was in the style of Mexico and quite tasty.

This little spider here was chillin above the diving board, taking in the sites and sounds of the celebration as well. Spiders are creepy. Spider bites can be deadly.

Thatmattdude gave his co-worker a water color painting he did -- "one in a series" of the first (and only) ten creations of the sort. It was quite the hit. Even Adam liked it (right). Hey, is he looking at it upside down??

Then about 12:22 we decided to head back to the house and get ready for our big move. The iPod kept us company on the drive,but we had to constantly fast-foward when any of the 100 Amy Grant songs came up in the mix. I hope the new models have a "skip Amy Grant tracks" option. The next day, Darren, his beau Mario, Matt and myself had our big move. We had to pick up the Uhaul van at 8 AM. See the post above for a brief photo journal of this life-changing event.
