Museum of Jurassic Technology

I was introduced to this museum by my friend Alli. We went here one afternoon and I just fell in love with it. It's the most randomly awesome place EVER. It's in Culver City and it is, if I'm not mistaken, an art project by a former student at CalArts. It contains a lot of pretty random exhibitions that occasionally change.


Dave's not so skilled in the jumping pictures category.


Some of my fave stuff there include a story about a bat that flies through walls by some crazy freakish flying ability. The scientists eventually build a wall thick enough so that he can't fly through it and they trap him in there and have the piece of the wall on display. Whether this is a true story is questionable, but interesting nonetheless. A gallery with portraits of dogs from the former Soviet Union that have gone into space. A section that teaches you about the history of cat's cradle and strings for you to practice with.

Tea room with the brothers horsing around.

Truly one of my favorite places in this city that I love so much.

and...just for today's cuteness...
and in case you haven't already seen this....a live feed of 6 shiba inu puppies in San Francisco. everyone at work has it going on in the background while they work on some super high brow art history stuff....aaah! too much cute!

I voted!

This will probably go down as one of the most memorable days in my life (history-wise). This and 9-11, thus far....
Because we live in the super coolest 'hood ever, we got to vote at the fire station! How cute is that?


I voted! and wore patriotic clothes! This was also the first election I could vote in because I, fobby as I am, only became a citizen in 2006, despite the fact that I've lived in Ca since I was 10!

the Brewery Art Walk

Twice a year, a little artists' community called the Brewery holds an art walk. Formerly the Pabst Blue Ribbon beer brewery, it is now a collection of living and working spaces for Los Angeles artists.


From what I hear, it's not so easy to get a place there because the digs are so highly coveted! Chloe has gone every single time since she's been with me and people are beginning to recognize me/us..made me/us feel very special.

Just some girl and her pitbull.....

And..because Dave's awesome parents were in town, they came too!!!

I'm not dead...Halloween!

Just been lazy and contemplating a new bloggy because I got an iphone and its vurry fun to bloggy on tumblr. This is what I started...ontheeastside.tumblr.com

Anywhooot.

Check it out..even downtown LA got dressed up for Halloween...as... New York City!

Please note the yellow taxi that says "NYC TAXI." This is actually a staple in downtown...dressing up as NYC. It's pretty cute. The other day I found a sign that said something about a snow path! Obviously, snow does NOT happen in Los Angeles!

At work, we dressed up as the cast of Mad Men. My most fave current tv show.

This is how I decorated my cubicle.

Dave is actually born on Halloween, so we went out that night to celebrate his THIRTIETH birthday with his fam bam. And...because I was too lazy to find another costume, I made him dress up as Don Draper from Mad Men.


Some of my favorite costumes of the night....

Where's Waldo.

and Beeker.


And in other news, I turned 26. Got depressed about it. Got an iPhone and got over it.


I'm still pretty elated about Obama winning. Although, I'm sad about Prop. 8 not passing in California. =(

Hopefully it will be overturned again.

a happy girl again!

I have not felt this good about this country since...umm ever!

Barack Obama, my hero.
