That's that dude right?


What a week, what a week.
more x-mas shopping was done and i had a real game of soccer for the first time in 5 weeks.

yeah, just when you think you've finished with all your x-mas presents.....got one for all the right people.......you realize that your better half is counting on you to chip in with her families stuff too.
ah, joy of joys.....
i've got my cousin davie coming to the zuleta family christmas eve shin-dig, and his family will be in california from the 27th till the early new year.
that means i saved some money on shipping more presents....
it' also means i've not got their presents yet....doh!

after hurting my hip a few weeks back, i had been taking it easy....it was more of a fright than anything.....but last monday decided to get back into some kind of condition to play soccer again.
training is friday nights, and i wanted to see if i was up to it rather than drive for 45 minutes to hurt myself in the warm up like last time.
so i went running with the dog.
sounds simple and as it turns out it actually is after you let the large pit-bull you are with drag you round the first 400 metres or so.
my dog is a big muscle.

anyway, cut a long story short, no problems with my hip and training went well on friday.
we played a game on sunday about 5 minutes from my house and won.
nice.
it was good to get the full 90 minutes under my belt again.
our winter season starts on 21 january, so i'm trying to watch myself over the holiday season.....so far i've watched myself drink every night and eat out at all hours!
the good /bad thing about los angeles is that very few people who live here are born and raised here....so the city empties out from aroud the 21st onward.
this city doesn't do new year very well either, so we're looking to get out for that this year....
last years hogmanay in glasgow will take some beating for many many reasons.

last friday we found a dog outside the brite spot on the corner of sunset and park.
i had to run onto the road as she was walking into on coming traffic.
we took here to the pound and luckily she was chipped, however the owners had not updated there info and had an old address/phone number....
why get your dog chipped if you don't keep on top of the info?
here is a picture of her.



on a different tangent, i went to a show at the silverlake lounge on tuesday night with easy eric.
we went to see a friend of his new band.
the bands name was lion......blah blah blah....i've clearly forgotten.
anyways they were pretty poor,but it was there first gig
the girl is a print model, actress and graduate of USC film school
apparently she has lots of connections.
we're sitting at the bar before they go on, an who walks in?
easy eric is a member of the producers guild and he says...
thats that dude right?
i look and it's david lynch.
seeing him squeeze the ass of his 30 year old girlfriend really does beat seeing him on the street corner in l.a with a cow!
i sooooo wanted to put a mic to his head as he was squeezing....
i'll put money on it sounding like the soundtrack to Dune................
