Back In LA

it doesn't really matter what the temperature is where you go; if its cold for that place, its cold and you feel cold. even if its 54 degrees when the place you came from was 31 degrees... you're still cold in 54 degrees.

my ears have not yet popped from my second flight.

The Annual LA Power Failure


Metal Shop
Originally uploaded by Theresa K.
In 2004-->2005, there was a power outtage that affected large portions of LA during its usual rainy winter. Over the Christmas holidays, 2004, Betsy and I entertained ourselves by singing campfire versions of punk rock songs like "Sheena is a Punk Rocker." Be fore-warned that "Sonic Reducer" does not really work as a campfire song.

This year was no different. The day after New Years, 2006, there was a power outtage over huge portions of Los Angeles (and the Dept of Water and Power offered no explanation - I guess we were to blame the rain? Ha ha. Milli Vanilli already tried that. They failed). Anyway... it lasted 12 hours for me. I was able to entertain myself by watching "Magical Mystery Tour" on my laptop. I still think "Death cab for cutie" makes a better avant-garde cabaret song than band name, I'm just sayin'....
