I'm not homeless

"And did they get you to trade
Your heros for ghosts?
Hot ashes for trees?
Hot air for a cool breeze?
Cold comfort for change?
And did you exchange
A walk on part in the war
For a lead role in a cage?"

~ Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here

Photo Update - March 2017

noreply@blogger.com (Sydney Hell) — Wed, 10 May 2017 08:00:00 +0000

Wow, the depression caused me to miss the March AND April photo updates!

Things are looking up! Or, I had a really good day...I don't know. I did a grown-up thing I have been struggling with and scheduled my dental surgery today. It's gonna be several thousand more dollars debt put on a credit card, but it's my teeth. It's my health. I'm in my mid-thirties, I need to seriously focus on taking better care of myself. I will pay it off, I know I will. I just have to do it. So, that was a weight off my mind. Now I just have to get a credit card for it, and, hustle my ass off to pay it...
Anyway...

MARCH PHOTO UPDATE!!!

Went to a screening of Whatever Happened to Baby Jane with some girlfriends. It was in one of the beautiful old theaters downtown and was presented by FX channel and Cinespia (they put on the outdoor screenings in the cemetery over the summer) to promote the premier of Feud on FX. They spoiled us! We got a tin of mints with the Feud logo on them, a chapstick with the Feud logo, popcorn, candy, a drink (soda or bottled water) and a punch card for 3 cocktails, a make-over downstairs and...photos? I don't remember what the 6th punch was for...they were mostly gin based cocktails, and boy were they strong! I think the one pictured below is The Baby Jane, which was like, lemonade and gin. We didn't do the make-overs, it was too crowded, and we just were more interested in drinking...

There was a tap dancer dressed like Baby Jane to warm up the crowed to live piano music. She would happily dance across the stage, then get really angry and stomp off, and then come back, in Baby Jane mood swing fashion.

I didn't have old hollywood glamour attire, so I just opted for cleavage.

The Boyfriend's Missing Persons tribute band (Noticeable Ones) played The Ventura Theater.

Boyfriend's Stone Temple Pilots tribute band (STP Experience) played at Bar 20 in Hollywood 2 days later.

March 15th is The Boyfriend's birthday. We went to the place that has the best mojitos this side of Cuba, Xiomara on Melrose. Such addicting spicy breadsticks! It wasn't till we were there that we found out the place sold and is closing!! :-( There is a sugar cane grinder behind the bar and they juice it right in front of you. We made up for the future loss by having 4 each.

Saint Patrick's Day party at work cause they took our cubes away and tried to ply us with booze to make it better.

New party supply tables we arrived to on Monday...Still got to sit next to the window, so, that was nice...

The company bought us box lunch that day to help make up for the desk upset. I found out this way that I really

like the tomato mozzarella sandwich from Corner Bakery.

We went to the Autoclub 400 like we do every year.

Pink is still the love of my life.

Oops, another Saturday with no Saturday happy song.
Sorry about that guys!
I have been so pre-occupied with all the other stuff in life. Thankfully there has been a lot of creative stuff going on as well and I will try and share some of that with you soon.
