An Object of Beauty....not so much.

On my trip to Cabo, I read Steve Martin's latest book. It wasn't exactly an enthralling read.

Mexican Loot.

Geriatric Chic.

Brilliant term coined by Erin for our current style inspirations. The Joan Rivers documentary is very entertaining.

Holidays.

Wow fourth term ended today. This was by far the hardest term I have ever had at school but it was also the most rewarding. I am taking next term off to take a much needed breather and embark on some world travels. On the 26th I will be leaving for Mexico, followed by a quick jaunt to Palm Springs for New Years and then on a 10 day excursion to Israel. In February I am going to India for three weeks. Kind of crazy but the perfect way to spend time off.

Los Angeles Plays Itself.

One of my favorite documentaries ever about the way Los Angeles is portrayed in cinematic culture is on YouTube. The film has never been released on DVD because of copyright issues so it's quite a delight to find it on the internet.

Regis's outfit is priceless.

I love this scene. Whenever I go into a house that's postmodernist early 90's contemporary I describe it as feeling like the Beetlejuice house.

Pretty Honey Packaging.

Just in Time for Halloween

Erin and I saw Dario Argento's Susperia at the New Beverly a few months ago and it's great with beautiful sets, bizarre dubbing, and original music by the Goblins

German Treats.

Motel 6 is fun to work on. The photo museum on the other hand could very well be the end of me.

Maltzen House.

Cool house by the notable Michael Maltzen, an architect Erin used to work.
