Friday February 15 @ The Echo in Los Angeles
I saw St. Vincent in concert with Mel. Great Show. Annie Clark is an amazing guitarist, vocalist and lyricist. I was blown away by the creativity in her music, which I think can only be fully appreciated when experienced live. Talented and beautiful. I hate her. Just kidding.
Thursday, May 1-Monday, May 5 in New York City, New York
I spent six days in a hostel in NYC with a friend. We ate the best pizza ever and saw Fuerzabruta. Thinking about this trip reminds me of how fortunate I am to have this person in my life. He's solid and genuine--qualities not so easily found.
Wednesday, August 20 @ a studio in Culver City
I auditioned for the game show, "Deal or No Deal." Because...why not? I met some fun people, got to talk about myself in front of an audience and pretended to win $500,000 in front of a camera. It was fun. They still haven't called me.
Sunday, October 19 @ Forest Lawn Cemetery in Glendale, CA
I had a day retreat in a cemetery. It was peaceful and beautiful--some of the most moving pieces of art I've ever experienced are at Forest Lawn. The retreat ended with a really wonderful, encouraging prayer session with one of my closest friends at Fuller. We need to do this again, soon.
Friday, October 31 @ a Couple of Parties
September and October were especially rough months. Halloween was the perfect excuse for me to express my angst. And who doesn't love Margot Tenenbaum anyway, am I right?
Friday, November 21 @ Conrad's
Ann and I got to talking, and we ended up writing the outline of my dissertation question and method on a napkin, which I presented to Dr. Brown the next day, who gave me an enthusiastic go-ahead. He told me to start collecting data A.S.A.P. I reminded him I still needed to write my Master's Thesis. "Oh, yes. Of course," he replied.
Thursday, November 27 @ home in San Jose, CA
Thanksgiving. An incident occurred during which I was reminded that my brother and sisters have my back. Always. This meant a lot. Thanks guys.
