why wide awake?

i'm accepting the fact that i can't sleep. it's 2 a.m. and i'm going to be REALLY sorry in about four hours.

i have a lot on my mind. usually when that happens i sleep a lot, which is what i've been doing the last week. perhaps i've used up all of my sleep hours.

my little-doggie-sonic, on the other hand, has done nothing but sleep since i picked him up from doggie daycare today. YES!! sonic went to doggie daycare for the first time today. well, yesterday. since The Man left he has been really clingy and over protective. he growls and barks at every little thing, and he's always full of energy now that he is alone all day. i figured the best affordable solution is a day at doggie daycare each week.

last weekend he passed his temperament test at The Pampered Pet, so we set his all day appointment. when i dropped him off wednesday morning it broke my heart. he didn't understand why i couldn't go with him to the play room. the lady had to pick him up and take him in because he would not walk away from me. during the day i checked on him using their web cam. during nap time he sat awake staring at the class like 'why are we sleeping? it's still playtime! no nap for me!'

when i picked him up he was exhausted and i imagine he regretted skipping nap time. he could barely walk in a straight line. he curled up and slept all the way home through rainy traffic. i can't say i wasn't jealous. we got home and he passed out on the couch.

i love doggie daycare. check sonic out on the web cam in the small dog room every wednesday 8:30-5 PST.

on another note, pun always intended, i've been really craving new music the late few days. more than normal anyway. thank goodness everyone is spilling with South By Southwest recommendations. Shout out to The Good Groupie for The Californian and Quiet Company. that's good stuff. I'm digging the new Chris Brown despite the disrespectful publicity stunt, and I'm avoiding all things Rebecca Black (why, God?!)

okay. once again i'm going to try and join my sleepy puppy in dream land.

    Welcome! Love sharing music, esp. with people like you who listen to EVERYTHING. :)
    If you have the time/funds, check out the Californian for me. They play mostly in/around LA.

Last Week in Pix/ 2x2

Happy Sunday! This week was relatively quiet until Thursday rolled around. On Thursday my world sort of exploded. I entered a Twitter contest with DigitalLA for tickets to the advanced screening of the final Twilight movie. Immediately after entering, I got a text from Mike inviting me to a party thrown by the project he had been working on all week. I accepted, thinking there was no way I would win the Twitter contest.  Joke's on me. I won the contest and needed to be downtown for the movie at 5:30pm. The party was at 9pm. I rolled out of bed that morning, so I looked like luke warm crud. Trust me, it was bad. My plan had been to go home, nap, shower then head out to Hollywood for the party. But with this movie there wouldn't be time for that.  I started my trek downtown from the valley at 4:20. An hour and ten minutes would be enough time, right?  WRONG. Meet LA traffic. I did not make it by 5:30. I was thoroughly upset, called Chris (who had also won e...

How To Survive Valentine's Day

Apparently no one has decided to cancel Valentine's Day this year. If it were up to me I would curl up in bed and avoid all social media. But, considering I have an office job as a social media community manager that's a tad difficult. In an effort to not be bitter and sad about having no date/flowers/chocolate/diamonds on this 'special' day, why not show a bunch of love to yourself? (I'm writing to myself as much as I'm writing to you, loves).  Break A Sweat A good work out never hurt anyone, and it's always great to show some love to your muscles. Last night I started my own self love (oh, grow up!) with a sweet late night yoga class taught by Emily at Yoga Shelter in Studio City. Her pace is fast, the music was bumpin and the temperature in the room was upwards of 80. Woo! Dress Up Why not put on an outfit that makes you feel confident and festive? I decided on my pink romper with black hearts from H&M  (purchased last year) with ...

I'm tired of trying to explain

I went on a trip home to Oklahoma last week. I brought Jersey Mike for his first real visit to the state and his first time meeting my friends. It was fantastic and fun. I'd love to tell you all about it. But I can't right now. I can't focus on anything right now.  Upon returning to Los Angeles, I logged onto Twitter and started seeing headlines about the Charleston shooting. I immediately turned it off. At first I felt wrong about doing it. At first I felt like I should face it head-on, get angry, put on my activist hat and get to work.  But I didn't. I couldn't do it.  I'd just gotten home from being surrounded by love. Yes, being back in Oklahoma I heard conversations filled with intolerance. I needed to point out and shut down a few comments that were insensitive and just plain rude. That's something I've gotten used to when visiting home. I'm surrounded by liberals and hippies here in Los Angeles. We are a melting pot of colors,...
