the blood just barely dried.

table garnish @ tart.

man, oh man. so much has happened since my last posting.

so, i was supposed to go to boston from dec21-28. however, the night before my flight was scheduled to leave, it got cancelled due to weather in the northeast. if my flight had been out of LAX, i probably would have rebooked it and dealt with all the pains of holiday travel. however, since it was out of the significantly smaller airport in long beach, i decided to opt out of it all and just spend the holidays here in LA. and i still managed to get sick. bah.

one benefit to not heading east, was that i was able to go with my brother to sign our new apartment lease! yup, we are renting a 2 bedroom condo on the west side, and we move in january 17! i can't even begin to express how excited i am. the place i awesome, and the landlords are very nice, responsible and on top of their sh*t.

christmas day i was up bright and early (but to be honest, a little late due to the time difference) to video chat with all the family over in boston. i missed the physical present opening by a few minutes, but still got to see everyone, including my adorable niece and nephew. and for the first time, i got a good & meaningful present for everyone in the fam (mostly due to the fact that i now have an income). i ended up helping dan and his sister cook christmas dinner, and spent the evening with him and his fam.

the day after christmas i went with mike to a post-christmas dinner with the whole tango crew at some korean bbq place. i think between the two of us, we probably ate a whole bulb of raw garlic.. needless to say i was nice and stinky by the end of the meal, but it was well worth it. saturday night, zai had a little shindig at his malibu house so i went there for a short while, but ended up leaving early because i was tired and trying to recover from my nasty little cold.

and now, it's back to work, but only a 3 day week. then new years weekend! i'm especially excited for this one even though i have no plans.. (=
