Things I Love.

A current list.

1. Rhinestones - par for the course.

2. Cabaret - Tim and I went and saw a screening of it through the LA Conservancy's Last Remaining Seats program. I just fell in love with the movie (and young Michael York, naturally.) It has singing, it has dancing, it has a love story, it has a fight against the Nazis! It's just like the Sound of Music, but with additional adult themes. Clearly, a winner. The Last Remaining Seats features are great - they had Michael York as the special guest, talking about making the movie and about preserving historic LA landmarks, so that was really cool. Since I hadn't seen the movie yet, I didn't know that I was in love with his character from the film, which is good, because then I didn't yell out "I am in love with a younger version of you!" Probably for the best.

3. The Los Angeles Theater - site of our movie, and an amazing piece of architecture. The theater itself is huge and gorgeous. The bathroom stalls are all done in different kinds of marble. There's a little nursery done up with circus themes. And they let us go into the projection room and out on to the roof! It was a really fun evening.

4. Bottega Louie - it's a few blocks from my office and the site of many a coffee break. Tim and I met there for little appetizer plates last night. I cannot praise that place enough. I want to have every birthday party at that restaurant for the rest of my natural life!

5. The new Dave Matthews Band album - DMB makes me feel 16 years old, or like some overgrown hippie with a hacky sack, but man, I love the new disc. I have been listening to tracks 2 and 6 at full volume for the past two days, every chance I get.

6. Cat children - see below.
(they hate being held together... I mean, Lulu hates being held at all. But I think holding two kitties is HYSTERICAL.)

We continue to househunt for a new home for the cats. Nothing has been good enough so far, but we continue to pester our realtor and drive around judging various homes for sale. Someday we will find something in a nice enough neighborhood, with enough space, that doesn't look like a crime scene inside. SOMEDAY!

Now I have to go watch Cabaret, streamed from Netflix. I forsee myself watching every day for the rest of the week.
