Crazy Cat Ladies

Maybe "Crazy Cat Lady" should be a diagnosis added to DSM-V?

Music Video

I was in a music video. You can't tell though because I'm wearing a giant skeleton head in it. It's Red Arrow Messenger's video for their song "Murder Ballad."

Quick Love/Hate List

Things to love about LA:

• Death Cab playing with the LA Philharmonic, with Tegan & Sara and The New Pornographers opening
• This. I realize it defies the "Sunny California" stereotype, but it's pretty dramatically stunning. The ominous cloud and the color of the ocean...
  
• This. The sky. The building. The grounds.

Things to hate about LA:

• This. This is a time-lapse video taken by my friend Ida from the back seat of my car. We were on I-5 in LA. (Note: the original version is much longer than 2 seconds - something happened to it when Ida sent it to me via email)

Things to love about Eugene:

• This. Cardboard signs plastered around someone's yard saying things like, "To Pay Day" "To Keeping it Weird" "To Being Spontaneous"
  
  

Things to hate about Eugene:

• This. Yes, this is the same photo. That was not an error. Sometimes the quirkiness is entertaining and creative. Sometimes it gets old. Is weird still weird when everyone does it?

Story #4: Ava's New Shoes

I am going backpacking this weekend and decided to take Ava for the first time. After talking to the vet, I decided to buy her some shoes so that if we end up on some rocky terrain, she won't cut her paws. She has no idea how to walk in them, though, and they are hilarious.
