As sure as night is dark and day is light ... Because you're mine, I walk the line

Today I scour the pages of the classifieds for a new domicile to no avail. I did go and look in old downtown at a teeny little 1 bd for only $700 we will see if I can stand such a small place. I really want something lavish..I'm spoiled. I want 2 bedrooms even if I don't use the second one..you never know when you might have company or need an office, spare closet or place to stick a step dad. *sigh* today is a day of crazies. A woman called convinced there is an odour coming from the room across the hall which our hotel investigated and found nothing, she also states a person across the hall has a disgusting "STD" cough..she knows..because SHE is a nurse. Supposedly STDs have found a new breed, they are contagious and are now airborne...no sexual transmission here. I guess she knows what a Gonorrhea/Chlamydia cough sounds like..lol. earlier she had check out of our downtown hotel because the engineers in the building didn't know how to handle so many volts of electricity and they were going to burn the city down...safety issue there. But nothing beats the health code violation of the man with the airborne STD. yes you heard me right.. AIR....BORN...STD..BUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA....

Yesterday I bought him a leather jacket. Yes I'm one of THOSE crazy dog ladies.

fire burn and couldron bubble...

My work threw a Haunted house, I think this is Quincy...It was wonderfully fun! Kids were totally crying.

Don't laugh..this was AFTER work..you know, tired and sweaty and big faced well...I HAD to take a picture with the head of our center..because we both had good taste in costumes. My ex likes this costume, of course generally the shirt is lower ;)

And last night me and some friends went to Dia De Los Muertos on Olvera St..it was beautiful and haunting, sad and festive..didn't get our faces painted..but we had a wonderful time nonetheless. They were celebrating children who died before their 156th birthday, people who were unmarried and a pillar of their community who passed a few months ago. I have more pictures but I AM

One good turn deserves another

So last night my sister got locked in my bathroom for 2 hours, the landlord yelled at me we got in a fight and now shes breaking my lease so I can move. I'm going to take them to court. My moms standard poodle was hit by a car and killed last night and apartments are expensive out here if I want something nice on the west side. But I don't want a roommate. I'm going to have to settle for a 1 bd..sheesh. I don't want to..maybe I can find something nice near Judy Garlands old house. we shall see...*F* Quartz Hill and my slum lords. I want hard wood floors

another roadside attraction

These crosses litter our city to mark the dead, On the side of the road a reminder of our vunerability. There's so many more..I will continue to shoot and share them.
