Some people have lives, and the rest of us have music.

For me, Vegas is a vacation from being overinhibited, in the highly overinhabited yet uninhabitable city of complete uninhibition.

waiting for laundry to be done so I can finish packing for vegas. oh vegas. always different with who you go with. but i think im set for a mellow trip. yea..in need of mellow vegas trip. hah.

I have a hankering to go thrifting soon. So tired of regular shopping (although I've definitely have cut down from that too). Will have to round up some girls for a trip around town for some fab finds soon.

Adorn: thrifted vintage blazer, red strapless top, highwaisted stovepipe pants from Japan and a gold/black leather calvin klein belt

I have this damn pinched nerve in my neck. TG tried to rub it out but I think it just gets bad tenfold when I'm at my awkward ass desk and chair and theyre not level with each other. blah.

Mid-summer...the countdown begins. I.cannot.wait.for.school.to.start. I had dinner with JP tonight because I was super craving some good carne asada drizzled with lime and some good chips. I headed to culver city after work and lucky me, or rather typical of la...there has to be a accident right where the ten and 405 meet. Well I work off the 405 and I need to get on the ten. hmm. an hour of my life spent hot, and listening to radio hits that I've already heard in my hour commute from the morning. JP and his update of girls, life and being so successful at law school and work. While I cant wait for school to start because well I go on coast mode-- JP is loving work bc well, he doesnt ever coast during school. hmmm and yet I have not learned a thing or two from him. love our catchups. grounded and aspiring at the same time.

my tiredness hit me like a two ton brick at 2-3 pm today. waiting for tg, nap at 10 pm is not a nap-- it just confused my body. and being petted is so intoxicating. then i decide its a smart idea to want animal style fries at midnight. throw in a vanilla shake. oh and deciding that I must find my harry potter dvd so we can get tg to brush up on his HP-ness--yea pretty sure why I enlisted the use of caffeine at 3 pm just as the day was suppose to wind down.

i wonder why they havent figured a way to make steering wheels less hot on sunny days. i mean they freaking can invent anything but not that???

yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!! next weeeeeeeeekkkkk!!!!

Eyes all sticky like honey on bees!!

what a freaking crazy few weeks. between birthdays (Val's and Stephen's and Alex's this weekend) and EDC and losing all my possessions that allows me to function-- work and being sick and this past July 4th weekend-- Summer has been running full blast and a half!! There's way too many pictures to post and my patience will be way too tested if I truly try for a full on photoblog update. Hmm...I'll figure something out.

Joyeux Anniversaire, Valerie!!
Cafe Beaujolais& Opera/Crimson
A beautiful evening and birthday celebration for one of my hottest and most awesome girlfriends!! She got majorly serenaded at the restaurant by a bunch of French men-- so cute and so fab!!

CampBeachBonFire-- Happy Birthday theStephen!!

@CoronaDelMar

When Love Takes Over
Needless to say, EDC was awesome. 90,000+ people, a night that literally lasted from sunset to sunrise. I dont remember the last time I stayed up the whole night :) So well worth it. Amazing. So many perfect moments of pure love for music and my friends.

July 4th-- sans fireworks so naturally we made our own...just kidding!!
I didnt take much pictures until the day after the 4th but our muse and model of the day epitomized our day soaking in sunny Orange County-- sleeping in on Sunday, outdoor lunches, baby pictures :) flag football, tanning and lots of Emi!!... don't kidnap her...I'll get in trouble.

Summer is so so great.

Somewhere over the rainbow
Way up high
And the dreams that you dreamed of
Once in a lullaby
Somewhere over the rainbow
Blue birds fly
And the dreams that you dreamed of
Dreams really do come true ooh ooooh
Someday I'll wish upon a star
Wake up where the clouds are far behind me
Where trouble melts like lemon drops
High above the chimney tops thats where you'll find me oh
Somewhere over the rainbow bluebirds fly
And the dream that you dare to,why, oh why can't I?

Vegas bound this weekend...Happy birthday Wifey!

A typical day at the Van residence with me and my Ms.

<3 my Wednesdays *wink

God wouldn't have given you maracas if He didn't want you to shake 'em...!

"That was the summer we went to Kellerman's."

In tune with summer where my school schedule doesnt get in the way with the things that are WORTH doing like enjoying musicals... TG (because he's like a tamagotchi...constant feeding to keep him happy lol) and I decided to go to Dirty Dancing on stage at the Pantages after much disappointment in missing Mamma Mia earlier in Spring. So here was our chance since rush tickets were available for only $25 a piece.

And for some reason, we thought it would be a full out musical. It was more play with a live orchestra. A good time given the dancing was good (Penny had these amazingly long legs...swoon...freaking 6'2" and a dancer...hmm I can only wish!), the set was cute and the awkwardness of Patrick Swayze as Johnny Castle translated on stage but it just wasnt a musical in the "traditional sense." All in all...it was worth going given our rush tickets were cheap for a walk down memory lane.

TG will have to see the movie now...although he might have had enough of Dirty Dancing for a while after a 2 hour musical of the same. lol.

chipotle, naps, popeye's in sweltering hot "ambience", donuts and coffee before, looking at hollywood stars and not recognizing anyone one of them...then comfort food at Dragon Mark in sgv after...makes for a good day despite the production not blowing us away.
