consolidation.

all of my online sites have now been consolidated to force me into a web design dungeon. this is a very important mark for me as i REALLY need to get myself in gear and build a site directed to my passion and current profession in life: makeup artistry. its an idea ive been tossing around for a bit but the finalized idea is a collective of creative individuals for hire. stay tuned for more details.

i had update in orange county which meant i had to stop by and stay with brittany. i tried to finagle an ash hang sesh also. unfortunately that didnt happen, bummer. the next morning, which was yesterday, we woke up and got ready to head to the city of angels. traffic ended up delaying us by 2 hours and eventually we all managed to meet up at the grove.


joseph and alicia came to hang around and shop for a bit with us. we went to a mid century furniture store called skank world - which happens to be my new favorite place. the owners are so unique its almost intimidating, new friends were made none the less.


we then said our goodbyes and headed home for the evening.

deer tick at spaceland.

if you havent listened to deer tick yet - you totally should. with their inspiration stemming from the likes of tom petty i doubt you could call their show a "bad time." they had such awesome energy (and drinking habits that put anyone i know to shame). not to mention an impromptu instrument chinese fire drill they pulled off with amazing grace - their skills are pretty insane. they played at spaceland last night which only brought back great memories from when we lived in silverlake. karissa and i made the trip out to the good ol city of angels thus making our 4th an awesome one.





also, FYI to those of you that havent made it to a show at spaceland they have the cheapest (LARGEST) mugs of stella in town + the best bathroom door artwork. cha chingggg!

box eight/shake the dust.

on thursday i went to dave and neils show at box eight. it was an awesome night and the group was sooo posi. i think we all left with sore jaws from laughing so hard. i managed to say numerous things that ended up sounding so stoops the next morning. my personal fave, " neil, phil... how awesome would it be if you had a SECOND sister named kali?!"






ohhh otis.

the trip was polished off with an early morning trip to swingers. i forgot about their "hardcore soy shake" but was uber haps to chug one down in about 2 minutes flat. since then ive been making my own versions at home - you should try it out!

"swingers hardcore soy shake"
-4 ice cubes
-1/2 cup soy milk
-a spoonful of peanut butter
-half of a banana
-a good squirt of chocolate syrup

blend away and enjoy a SERIOUSLY yummy treat that is way lower in calories than your average shake.

los angeles...

ive been ogling the opening ceremony web store since it opened in hopes of someday finding my "dream piece" that i would 100% have to throw down on. finally i told myself, "kali, just freaking go down to the store and pick something up, you deserve it." yesterday was that day. through the winding freeways and thick smog i found myself at 451 north la cienega.



this charming 10,000 square foot building was once the studio of charlie chaplin and had so many interesting rooms/nooks/hallways i was mad with excitement! seeing the location alone was worth the trip. i wish i had the funds to buy out the entire alexander wang room - or maybe just the faux fur chair in the corner that was legitimately calling my name?


i walked away with a pair of sunnies ive been lusting after. the hinged black, rectangle, straight-out-of-a-comic book creations by slow and steady wins the race:


i continued by making my journey to josh's house. we ate pure luck, scoops and saw a dog with a mohawk. we chatted about life, business and websites. he is such a good friend.


the end.

los angeles.

dave and i spent the day in la on wednesday. it was KILLER to decompress and just let the time pass on its own. the purpose behind the trip was to make it to the dodgers game by 5pm. this happened and it was actually more fun than i chalked it up to be. dave forced me to wait in line at autograph alley while i was heckled by some gangsters, "denggg, that girl is so tall. shes like yao ming..." wutever doods, i am totally not THAT tall. onto the photos....







i also rented the house aforementioned. im excited for this next step in life, i just miss rob and everything is so indescribeable right now. i hate it.

turn the beat around.

HIII!!!!



this isnt going to be a very composed blog... im just going to throw that out there now. wait, when are my blogs EVER composed?

A. let me start with this. if there are any ridiculously successful/wealthy readers of my blog that would like to anonamously send me this ring, i would not object.

really though who is going to spend almost $4000 on something like that? i offered $250 and was shot down.

B. i woke up to a phone call from bri (the manager at the mac counter in macy's at vicky g's) saying, "hi kali, its bri, id like to job offer you." lovely way to start the day huh?

C. yesterday i went to forest falls with travis, neil and brandon. what a fun little field trip (i also accomplished productive life things too)! hopefully we will be moving there soon!

D. im under some serious time constraints now - i have to find a house and be somewhat moved in by june 2nd. why is that? wellll, i will be flying to hawaii to see my beautiful husband and dogs. followed by BRINGING BOOGER AND STEWIE HOME! i am so excited!

E. rob has been sending me these images hes been making. im not going into detail but they are really freaking awesome.


F. last but not least... tattoo? oui ou non?

longest day ever?

he's finally here!!! <3


today consisted of no sleep, driving to lax at 3am to pick up the boy, driving to huntington to watch the sunrise together, jay sparkage, public restrooms being pumped (foulest smell ever!!), la for a meeting with the lawyer, linner with josh/janell/ruby/frank (i wish missi were there too!!) and then a swift drive back to the ie only to fly out to chicago tomorrow am... so tired.
