idol finale tomorrow night… I’m cheesing out.

Vanessa and I are going to the AI Finale tomorrow courtesy of Rolling Stone. I don’t usually like to go out for the night at 3:30pm but what the hell. I’m a huggggeeee Freddie Mercury lover and that Adam Lambert dude is like a reincarnation. I’m so into it!  

VG will be getting her backstage journalist mojo on and I’ll be …socializing? Observing? Party afterwards right by my house. Should be interesting!! 

Oh and I think I tried to vote for Lambert but they put me on hold or something so I hung up. It’s a conspiracy. Oh oh and let me add the AI people think Kris is going to win. Seriously.

ETA: check out Vanessa’s Rolling Stone article with Adam on the cover. Gems everywhere.

over and over

went to some book party the other night – “Gypset” basically the lifestyle of rich hippies.

Me and Craig:

how convincing and talented is she? the truth is cristina has some seriously seriously seriously amazing style and fabulous taste and when I start contemplating a bikini from target…..(ok maybe not) you know she’s done her job.

Life. Stuff. Busy. Thoughts.

I haven’t written on this blog for way too long. I think facebook got my attention. I never thought I’d give into the facebook thing. I did. Kinda fun.  A nice way to compartmentalize everyone in my life. Sometimes I get so lost into my own world I have a hard time keeping up….facebook makes me feel social while being anti-social. What am I talking about? Facebook sucks. 

Went to Hawaii and came back. Totally fun. Took some seriously fabulous video of seriously fabulous fireworks and a seriously fabulous volcano. Will try to post them if I can remember how!  Working on a couple TV pilots. Hoping to close a deal soon on this other thingie I have going. We shall see…

Happy New Year. So far so good!!!!!!!!!

I just took a 3 night trip to the Bahamas… Staniel Cay… total last minute.. Insanely fun. I swam with nice sharks, fed swimming pigs, got a crazy tan… and have decided I need to go back. Maybe rent a house there for a week or so? I’m doing it! 

It was perfect… I flew from Long Beach to Fort Lauderdale and then took a private plane to Staniel Cay (which is a tiny island in the Exumas with less than 100 locals).  The only negative is that right now I’m hanging at the Fort Lauderdale airport waiting to go back to LA.  I actually love Florida (sort of) but the airport doesn’t cut it. I usually to do Florida a few times a year (palm beach)….but haven’t been to FortL since last Feb when i went to visit some guy I was into…but of course I got lost and drove to Miami instead and was an hour late to his gig. I have a lateness problem in general.  Didn’t Fort Lauderdale used to be like spring break central? now it’s mexico. 


expectations, control and all that stuff no more

life is good in sahara land… that’s really all there is to say. The diary of the funk has come to an end. now it’s the diary of a funky funkity funk. massive learning curve.  fizzle shizzle nizzle. the whole jumping in head first is totally my style but it brings me mass destruction of a nuclear kind.  I’m not doing it anymore.  Sahara is feeling pretty happy. could it be? could it be? it could.  happy to be free and happy to be me. 

I’m starting my latest project. July being my deadline. I won’t be naming it but i’m feeling fantastically creative and inspired about it. It goes back to the guy/girl this/that that I so seem to understand through personal experience. Yipee yo. Let’s go with the flow. 

 

can’t see me?

some of my friends have complained that they can no longer see my site. sorry dudes! keep trying… guru jay turned on some privacy features (privacy on the net? that’s what I said too)…..anyway….they seem to be on overdrive….

oh my dearest mack…how you impress me………..

yesterday we went over to my friend Liz’s house up on coldwater canyon…..mack went swimming in the pool….It’s always fun to see him swim because I can’t figure out if he’s way into it or if he’s scared shitless….but when he gets out he looks like a rat….a little skinny rat…..hair makes a big difference. the only problem with him swimming is he gets dreadlocks….and then his fabulous groomer has to dematt him and that’s not fun for either of them…so yeah, as i was saying, he ran around, played in the grass, played with her niece that came over and so on……. liz was having a meeting at her house later that night….and one of the ladies who arrived early before i left brought her rescue pitbull….a gorgeous gray colored pit bull female. Kind of scary looking but stunning….

yes yes. oh yes he did. the mack went there. my fluffy white little macaroon tried to hump the pit bull. he’s the man!!!!

speaking of dreads….when i was younger i was all about reggae….i did it all…..reggae on the river….reggae sunsplash….dancehall was my favorite…i even went to jamaica in search of all the rarest records…that was kind of scary…anyway…reggae is all about summer isn’t it? you don’t imagine people skiing and listening to reggae. you imagine them surfing and laying in the sun listening to reggae. yo people seriously need to listen to some more reggae…..here: one of my favorite reggae artists of all time and one of my favorite songs……

my dearest wonderfullest web genius junkie Jay has made my site more high tech & moved it to lotti lands own private server. like a private island….is it slower? it seems like it………….if things seem whacky yo it’s not me…it’s not me…i know better….a million cents later…but a million times cooler…

way too early

i was a londonite from 0 to 5. there’s a smell in this city…i’m not sure how to describe it….but it takes me right back to where it all began. when i was little i asked my dad when we were moving to hollywood…this is when i was three years old….i didn’t know what states were..cities were..countries were but somehow i knew what hollywood was…it was almost like i knew where i was headed….. the weathers nice, way warmer than NYC.

did you know mack is the international mack of mystery? he has an international microchip and can go anywhere he wants in the european nation. i love my dog.

musically , i’ve got bon iver in ipod control. i’m fully in the obsessional stage. I’m thinking of adapting the play Credeaux Canvas…idea inspired by Skinny Love. sometimes that’s how it is. you hear the song, you see the movie. its interesting because bon ivers guitar playing is off tune at times…his lyrics are so so…his voice is higher than it’s meant to be…the production value is shit…but the album is fucking spectacular man……you know why? because it’s true. one man….three months…in a cabin….getting it all out. somehow that equals magic…….

and yes on a more shallow note i went to louboutin and found them in blue! 5 inches i can do it!

if i had to marry shoes….these would be them. mack must hit the loo and then it’s time to get my song on.
