<3 everyone

[i wrote this entire thing last night but passed out just before i could click 'publish post']

so today was just cool, even though i didn't get any work done at all. last night we were driving down vermont and i realized that my absolute most favourite filipino restaurant in LA, which is in carson, has an outpost very close to our new house! i let out one of those gasps, you know, the kind that makes the driver totally nervous. oh wait, speaking of last night, we went to a really rad show at pehrspace where 2 of our faves, foot village and e&e played.

anyway, so naturally me and jessica went to that restaurant for dinner today. it's called dj bibingkahan. i LOVE it. she had never had filipino food before and duh, she was blown away. we were so full that we had to pick up a bottle of voddy to help us digest.

when we got home we started working on music for our side proj, dana&stripes. um, i would venture to say that dana&stripes is slightly better than puppy dog, but i won't actually say that. it's just very organic and free-form and fun and so goth, which we both totally are at heart. it's awesome whenever music can reflect who you really are on the inside. i'm just joking really...i have to clarify that bc the written word is so much more enigmatic than verbal and body language.

after practically polishing off that bot of vod, we decided to go to cha cha with our buddies elijah and tyler. it was awesome and i totally got to take theee cutest photobooth pix with elijah, which i will post later.

i'm tired and dr%#$ so the end. sorry no pix really but soon, promise. in the mean time here are a couple i took of pizza! at the smell the other night.

k-town livin

house and house show

man. i feel like a d-bag bc i have not been photographing anything lately. but here is one pic of our new dining room, which peeks into the living room. that's all you get until you come over for a visit.



also, one of our side projects, dana & stripes, which is me and jessica, will be playing for the first time at the next puppy dog show which is aug 30. pls come, you will like it!

omg chanel

i was almost in tears trying to describe this ad from italian vogue to dana the other night over chinese food and pbr. if anyone reading this has unlimited funds, please purchase this trio and donate it to puppy dog. i think it could be tax deductable somehow...

home

i am so sleepy but am having blog withdrawals. this weekend was so long, just all the moving and stuff. anyway, we are now in our new house in k-town and it is sooo cool. we got so much unpacked and arranged, but it was mostly jessica doing it. we can't wait for everyone to come visit. vanessa is watching "girls just wanna have fun" right now. she (we) loves sjp.

so our backyard neighbors are none other than our friends angie, erik ,and margot. the whole sitch couldn't possibly be more perfect. aside from many musical projects, we have many things forthcoming, like double dutch sessions. i'm also going to write a play, which we will put on in our dining room. this is going to be amazing but i can't divulge too many details right now. we had an awesome sunday dinner tonight which i wish i photographed but i was so stoked about eating that i forgot. sorry for this non-picture post but i really have been preoccupied the past few days and haven't been photographing much.

today i played baseball with the guys from pizza! and some other cool dudes. it was way fun and i totez want to do it every week. they are always looking for players so pls join! every sunday near the brewery, downtown.

moves and moved

thanks SO MUCH to everyone that helped us move last night!

for those of you who missed it, here's about how it went down:

blasphemy!!!!!

moving!

i'm drunk and packing up my stuff, kind of! this is like my 5th summer in a row moving so i vowed this time not to do any actual packing bc it's annoying. no boxes, boxes are for the weak. real women run down the stairs with an armful of dvds. i'm also going to throw all of my kitchenware into my diane von furstenburg suitcase. no lie. so, here are a couple pix from the hangout sesh at jessica's apt the other night, which will now be obsolete.
