Celebrity sighting

So I was shopping yesterday at the local grocery store, Pavillions/Vons, which is really Safeway, when in the produce section, I spotted Jai Rodriguez from Queer Eye on Bravo. It was close range. He looked good, and is tiny. I almost invited him over, assuming he lives nearby.

I've been away for a while and so I haven't kept up with posting. I'm sorry about that. I'll get on the stick. It's not as if I have a job to distract me, just Ellen on the DVR.

For now, here's a picture of fall color I took last year when Jason and I spent some time at Shiloh and on Skyline Drive:



I understand that no one in the country is experiencing this right now since there's kind of a heat wave on. I post it here as a reminder that if I were back east, fall would be on the way. Instead, in LA, the change of season is marked by the availability of gourds and pumpkins at the grocery store. My front yard looks like this, and it will forever, unless the Mexicans who take care of it forget to water:



Finally, a photo testament (photestament?) to how commercialism has hijacked our holidays. I took this at Target almost a month ago. Here's a fun idea, how about a contest to come up with the best name for the holidays: a mash-up of the October/November/December holiday season. Like the commercial, "ChristmaHannuKwanzaKah", except you can probably be more clever. Like, Day of the Dead Turkey/Savior. Or something. Submit your entries as comments. Winner gets a guaranteed holiday card from me.
