• Late one tonight.
• I'm not really digging the Frappuccino I scored from one of my favorite Starbucks tonight. They must be having an off day. Or maybe it's me? Nah! :P
• Spent most of the day with the entire family today. :)
• Went to Griffith Park tonight to see their Festival of Lights, which is basically a huge drive-thru, safari-esque light display put on by the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power. It was much more packed than last year. Probably had to do with the new energy-saving LEDs... they made for a much more lively and vibrant festival. :D
• I love LEDs.
• I love X-mas lights.
• Drove around a few of the neighborhoods in Pasadena to check out the homemade holiday lighting displays.
• I hope my brother and sister don't hate me for unleashing the Xbox upon their household. Halo was the one thing my nephews wanted to talk about today. *L* I thought it was awesome. Then again, I'm not inundated by the conversation on a daily basis... but I still think it's cute. :P
• I've been reading so much about Josh Groban's phenomenal success with his X-mas album, Noël. Apparently it's shaping up to be the most successful album of the year. He's not really my bag, and I'm sure he's a bit milktoast for most people's taste but I couldn't be happier for the guy. On the surface he just seems like a great guy. He could be a total asshole for all I know, but I don't get that impression. I'd rather he have the success than some vapid fuck-up. He's a great artist in my opinion.
• I've been on a mad rush to rip some more CDs and DVDs into iTunes so I could show off Narcissus (my iPod touch) to his fullest. I want my relatives to get the full experience when they play around with him on X-mas. ;) I'm a pusher; pushing the Apple drug.
• I've been obsessed with Tori Amos' Strange Little Girls (2001), particularly the song Heart Of Gold.
• One of the highlights from my Tori Amos concert on Sunday was Pip's performance of Heart Of Gold: I've been to Hollywood! / I've been to Redwood! / I've crossed an ocean! / For a heart of gold! / I've been in my mind! / It's such a fine line! / That keeps me searching for a / That keeps me searching for a heart of gold! / That keeps me searching for a heart of gold!
• Gee, I just lost myself in a YouTube vortex. :P I'm gonna have to call it a night. ;)
• Keep orbiting my fellow satellites. :D
