Sometimes there is nothing better than making a kid jump.
Another trip tp Nashville means ‘fun’ with my oldest nephew.
I am out of the frame, but he is looking at me.
Halloween in WeHo
I wrote a really long blog here that got erased when I tried to publish it and frustration prevents me from trying to write it again. Maybe later I edit the entry. What is up with wordpress? because I ran into a few problems today – like signing in a billion times, pretty much every time i navigated to another page.
Anyways I had a great time at the West Hollywood Halloween Block party. The Wehmer-Wiemer(formally Redding) team had an interesting night. Below are my candid shots of the night.

Windex won’t kill it.
I am seeking possible suggestions on how to get rid of a creepy medium spider that is living in my aloe vera plant in my kitchen without killing the plant. I sprayed it with Windex on 3 separate occasions but apparently it is a super-spider and is still alive. And yes I hit it with the windex each time and drenched it. Windex works for ants… so why not spiders. It is not a black widow but it sure could be a cousin… it is black and lives hovering over the moist soil of the plant pot. I finally got rid of my ant problem and not this insect needs to go. Oh I also pulled a tick out of my cat’s chin last week… what’s going on here? I got the whole tick out though… that’s like my 3rd time pulling out a tick (1st time on my own pet) – I’m a pro at that if anyone needs help although I hate ticks more than any insect.. then fleas, then spiders and then ants.
A side note: That police station that Paris Hilton was locked up in last night is my local police station down the street from my apartment. Ha.. another rich idiot busted.
A little request
I am hoping that in the midst of clomplete boredom, most likely at work ,that these people will google themselves and find this page and then contact me because I just wonder where they are now. So here is the list…
Danny Lahti Blum… I haven’t seen you since 9th grade – I miss your jell-o earlobes
Alex Golden – where did you go after you graduated – UVA ’05; I miss my token J.. ( from the party;))
Chris Voekler – are you still in connecticut?
Elizabeth Odensky – you were a good friend to me in 4th grade
6 Things most people don’t know about me…
Hey Carter I am finally going to answer your tag…
1. The only OCD thing I do is knock on my head or touch wood if I think I am being jinxed by my own thoughts or someone else’s.
2. A couple of my favorite foods that come to mind right now are: mango cheesecake and sweet corn tamales with cream
3. I hit a kind from my kindergarten class out of a tree in my backyard with a broom when I was 5… I think I wanted him to go home. He was fine though.
4. I generally eat weird meals when I cook at home – meals that tend to be the same color (I think I did mac-n-cheese and cream spinach and orange Gatorade once), really don’t go together or just plain spaghetti.. this is all due to short prep time and being cheap on the budget
5. I am currently undefeated in air hockey.
6. I have a wish that I will live for some period of my life in different parts of the world; but I will end up back in the US.
OK I guess now I name 6 people to tag?… although i don’t know many bloggers…
Mis suenos = odd
I really should write down my dreams sometime because I sure can come up with some crazy stuff when I sleep for about 5 minutes.. I have found that during those short naps I can really freak myself out or come up with some really weird stuff. Too bad most of the time I forget the dreams a few minutes later. I should force myself to get up and type and then I wouldn’t find myself falling back asleep and probably be a much more productive person.
One recent dream was that I took my orange cat in a basket to a kindergarten class and he liked all the kids… this cat does not like kids so it is weird.
I’ve had the dream when it is going to be the first day of college and I am not prepared and am running late to class to find my self in my middle school and then I wake up and realized I have already graduated from college.
My favorite dream that I can remember is from one from high school though. I only slept for a few minutes because I remember pressing snooze… but I met my grandmother that died before I was born and she introduced me to a bunch of my relatives. I woke up and I was so refreshed and happy.
Yeah all a little eerie, but this is from my subconscious… so maybe this really does mean I’m weird. Eh, dreams are pretty fun though. Oh I have that one where your teeth falls out every once in a while… someone told me that means you are stressed… well it really freaks me out, but what a great feeling when you wake up and the teef are still hangin’ on.
Side note – I saw The Illusionist today, with Ed Norton and Paul Giammati and I must say I did enjoy the film.. of what is out there right now it is one of the better ones. Norton is always good though.
Dancing in the Car
When I catch someone dancing in the car I think back to Sophomore year of high school. We all had new licences; were borrowing the parents’ car. Luckily for us, we had one friend who had her own car and had an early b-day for a sophomore. So the six of us would pile into Heather’s 95′ Taurus with the Awe5ome license plate (we all had seatbelts because of the armrest-sized seat in the front row – which always happened to be reserved for me) and hit the suburban streets. We came up with red light dance party that year – it’s pretty straight forward. We hit a red light, roll down all the windows, crank up the music and dance as much as we could strapped into a seat belt – to the point that the car was afflicted with its own earthquake.
Besides the fact that we had a great time dancing to Spice girls and Miss Spears, we got some great reactions from the people around us. We had people laugh and roll down their windows, cars next to us with commuters heading home from a long day would start cracking up. We got nice little compliments from the older folk. Bottom line more people should dance in their cars (be safe about it though) because you feel good and so do the people around you. It really is one of the quickest ways to get someone out of the dumps. I am pretty sure there isn’t a person out there that if they caught someone dancing hardcore in their car could not crack a smile. Dance people dance! I always love catching people dancing… like you are catching someone in the middle of a forbidden act… but what’s so wrong about it? You might learn a few moves too.
