Tis the Season…
Yesterday 4 pm – Xmas party at WBA. Spiked Egg Nog, mountains of food and delectable cakes. Dammit, why did we have lunch already? While the music played and the entire staff were eating, drinking, making merry, getting their photos taken with Santa… we were in fact preparing to leave for our big Mucha Lucha Season 3 meeting over in Burbank.
5 pm Meeting with Kids WB . We still haven’t received the “official” pick up for third season but there’s a united enthusiasm amongst the show producers and the assumption that we are moving forward… on a mission to make Season 3 everything that ML should be.
8pm Swimming laps at the gym. Eddie buys Johnny Socko and his Flying Robot (VHS) from Amoeba Music. We liked Giant Robo (the maintitle esp!) – this is the original.
10.30pm Tiki party at Andrew‘s. The house was up in the Hollywood Hills surrounded by big ass cacti. (I guess we’re not yet accustomed to the Californian landscape. Still a novelty) The house was amazing; great vibe. Totally decked out with Polynesian paraphernalia - giant tikis, thatch walls & ceiling, and loads of delicious looking food (crab, shrimp… cake, brulee…) and cocktail-mixing ingredients. Dammit. Why did we have dinner already? Miles was convinced that my Palm Tungsten replacement had to be a Handspring Treo and was showing me the wonders of his new toy. Me – I am hoping hard that Officeworks (Sydney) will replace my Palm which was only one month old when it died, and still under warranty. OK it’s not as fancy as the Treo but I kinda got attached to it… as you do.
…Got home at 1.30am to be very suddenly woken up at 7.30am (!) this morning by workmen who are working on our windows and needed to enter the apartment. There were some genuinely scary ‘get me outta here!’ moments. Imagine being surrounded by loud banging and dark silhouettes behind every window and you have 30 minutes to frantically move all the furniture out of the way and get dressed. Who would’ve thought we would ever make it into work by 8.30am? Usually we get in at 10am…

Currently browsing: photo gallery pages at www.figures.com . I didn’t know that Shag had teamed up with Medicom… Wow.
If you could order your own customized bobble head figurine, who would you want it to be? Imagine getting something like this for Christmas…
The Wary Fat Kid cracks us up.
Nathan Jurevicius is having an exhibition opening at Outre Gallery (Melbourne) next month 16th Jan. Would LOVE to go if we weren’t thousands of miles away…
…Watching Greg play Gitaroo Man (PS2). Awesome eye-candy. We’re not gamers and probably never will be (for a while yet) but this is really neat, being a music-related game (battle opponents by playing a guitar) with wacky colorful graphics and cheezy catchy music (OK. sometimes the music is kinda bad) There’s an awesome Day of the Dead level…
Today is the last day for most of the ML crew before Xmas holidays – there will be gift exchanges and celebrations.
Still not sure what we’re doing for Christmas…We’re going to Caliente Tropics !(see Roadside Peek) We want to be somewhere warm…Looking forward to seeing LOTR: Return of the King tonight. Three and a half hours – that’s a long movie. Memo to self: Must Not Drink…
