holidays 2006
I spent the holidays down in LA with my family. I used to have a love and hate relationship with LA but now I only have hate, mostly because of the traffic...
But I did get to have mom's Korean food. Unfortunately I failed again at learning how to cook.
I met up with some old friends: Eric, an artist I met at the SF Zinefest a few months back, Sheila and Jenn, from all the s-k shows and Rory, from the s-k.net message boards. We all met at one of the best Korean restaurants in town only to find out at the last minute that all the ladies were vegetarians and never had Korean food before. :o Ah well, next time, I'll have to pick a safer place or someone else can decide. Needless to say, Eric and I loved our neng-myun and gahl-bi ($24.99!).

Also, my brother and I were looking around for a "new" car for our mom since she's been driving her car for exactly 10 years. We looked into getting a Mercedes C class but at the dealership they had a used black on black BMW Z4 3.0 in automatic. This would be my mom's dream car so we took it as a sign and the price was incredible so there ya have it: Happy holidays mom! The best part of all of this is that my brother ALSO has a Z4. His is black on red.
Ok, I'll give you one thing about LA, the flight into and out of LA always amazes me:
For new year's my friend invited me to a house party. We head over to Daly City and between 10PM and 12AM I consumed the following:
3 beers
1 sake lychee martini
1 strawberry margarita
1 double shot of citron vodka
3 glasses of champaign
I didn't pass out but I fell asleep on the dining room floor. I felt a bit embarrassed and really really sick but didn't throw up. I'm still amazed I drank that much so fast. I was dizzy and nauseous and everything was a blur on the drive back. Thank god Eric doesn't drink as much anymore. Throughout the party all his friends told stories of how he could down a bottle of Jack. Those must have been some times...

And finally, cute cats! Jenn and Sheila have three supercute cats.

Hey!
At least you get to hang with some S-K hardcore people.
Do you know I have only ever met one person who has even heard of
S-K (with the exception of gigs of course). The landlords daughter of my local pub.
I feel isolated as an S-K fan.
Anyway think of you your break as being better than working (presumably).
