luxury

is this shower. two sides and an overhead rain head:


not sure if the water reads in the photo - but here it is in action:


I think showering with an open door and seeing the gorgeous CA sun-filled sky has me beginning to understand outdoors nudism...

up in the desert y'all

Palm Springs Weekend, y'all. Four days of relaxation by the pool reading Star Magazine and listening to my iPod. But I'm missing a scrimmage practice with another D-div softball team. I'm super bummed about that. AND I'm missing a big fat tattoo expo at the Kitty Palace in South San Fran.

But it will be more fun to hang out w/ my fams in PSP... aka Play Station Portable.

A Star is Born

i need a little inspiration

but I'd settle for a little of his perspiration...





This is his spread in this month's Men's Health.
I highly recommend picking up a copy for yourself.

And I found this shot on the web.


oh Gerard, I'm getting closer...

my newest husband

ok - I know I said I was marrying that dude from Survivor (<-- link).

But I'm over him.

New V-Day, I need new meat.

Enter Mister 2007 (v1.0, at least...)

Gerard Butler, y'all:


In his new role as leader of Sparta in
Warner Brother's production of Frank Miller's Graphic Novel: The 300. (<-- link)

aural tastebuds

I like to think that I possess some what of a varied and sophisticated taste in music:

- I like classical… from the super conventional classical (Dvorak, Barber) to contemporary American Classical (Berstein RULES!) to 20th century atonal stuff (think Berg, Schoenberg).
- I like Rap - I clearly prefer female artists, but I gots some essential Jay-Z and LL on my 'Pod.
- I like some Broadway/Showtunes. Not much, but some.
- I like R&B (Mary J.'s a tight bitch, Xtina - bitch has MAD vocal skills.).
- I like what I'd call 'newish' rock-n-roll (Fall Out Boy, The Killers, etc.).
- And I'm open to new stuff. A burgeoning friendship has begun to introduce me to Yo La Tengo. So far so good on the YLT tip. WHEEEEE!

But I do have some low brow tastes… just like my humor.

So I worked up a February playlist that is insanely diverse. And an "oldie" (not really, but the song is not new) came on a moment ago and I was at my desk bopping up and down in my chair feeling like a 16 yr old Italian girl, jumping up on her bed in her WHITE ON WHITE bedroom in Long Island, I was so excited and into the song.:

Love At First Sight - Kylie Minogue from her album, Fever.

Someone walked by when we were at the chorus (yes, honey - we - me and Kylie were GETTING' AFTER IT)

"baby when I heard you
for the first time I knew
we were meant to be as one……………"

Thank god I was just silently mouthing the words. But holy fuctards, Batman, does that song make me want to be in a convertible with a fresh ice-cold DDP*, maybe tooling down the sunny-as-hell PCH to nowhere in particular? That would be a little slice of Heaven…sheer Heaven.
