the laptop sessions, trois: not a good idea

this is prudence's new favorite spot: my laptop provided by the office. speaking of work, a memo went around yesterday asking that if any of the company's journalists (perhaps the title 'photo editor' is exempt) have personal blogs, we should make sure to state that our personal online musings in no way reflect the opinion of the magazine/website we work for. there, i typed it for all 6 of you readers to see. my 'prudie and rah!' postings will no longer get me in trouble professionally...but this shot of dear prudence just might...

NEW CATEGORY: show of the week: califone and iron and wine at the orpheum theatre: beautiful, except for the drunk boys sitting beside us who kept screaming "woo! rockenroll!!' at califone, until the lead singer retorted 'what?! we're not rock 'n' roll.'

the laptop sessions, second act: the kitten

this is my friend shirley and thom's kitten, yoko. a week ago she was ferrel. now she is quite tame. i hung out with her last thursday and friday, while they were on vacation, to make sure she was eating and to feed her formula.
cats on computers = always cute!

we're not in california anymore

i was in kansas city......missouri (the state of kansas was pretty much one street over) this past weekend for gillian and brett's perfect wedding and there was not a dry eye in the house - even brett had to borrow a kleenex from gillian while he said his vows. sigh. at the aiport, i found this sign all over the place. and it amused me to no end. maybe bc i've never seen anything like it before on the east or west coast (bc yes there are no tornados there). maybe bc i'd had some tequila. maybe bc there were no threats of a tornado while i was there. it was a beautiful place to visit!

pru cut

yesterday i dropped prudie off at the groomers and when i returned to pick her up they had morphed her into hello kitty gollum (thus dubbing her 'hello gollum').

this was my favorite part - the scarf and hair clip! she looks like an anime cgi creature! she'll forgive me one day.

i always knew it!

aidan shaw and i were meant to be together! yes, i was watching old eps of 'sex and the city' and an ad came on BEGGING me to take this quiz. i crossed my fingers while they tallyed the results and hoped for the best. sure enough there he was - the man i still get weepy for, even after having watched all of his epidodes at least 20 times - old reliable aidan shaw. i dare you to take the quiz too (and report back).

when dogs cry

this is my neighbor's dog, ellie. i'm babysitting her right now while erika is running errands (thankfully, she takes care of my beasts when i'm out of town so i'm more than happy to return the favor). ellie had an accident at the dog park yesterday and had to get stitches. she keeps bumping into everything in my place because, even though my home is big for n.y.c., it's small for l.a.
animals in head cones: always hilarious!! every time she bumps, i laugh! hand-over-the-mouth-laugh (yes even though we bonded and i love her).

SHOW OF THE WEEK: benefit for kime buzzelli at the echo. very sweet benefit for a very sweet local shop owner who needs money for her medical bills.

it's morrissey's town, i just live in it

this picture may not look like anything to you, but it's a picture of my love morrissey that i took from the vip balcony at the palladium last night. whenever i've felt like something was amiss in me musically, i've always believed it was because i never got to see the smiths when i was in high school. well in the last six months i've been fortunate enough to see johnny marr play with modest mouse and last night morrissey in all of his glory and i feel like a new person! bonus points to my friend freddie at live nation who totally hooked us up with the vip stuff. every time i think of the room singing 'the last of the famous international playboys' and morrissey ripping off his shirt and throwing it into the crowd, a giant grin spreads across my face. now if only pavement would reunite...
