New Year's eve

at the Tower Theatre.

The hobbit

Maybe since I just watched The Hobbit trailer, all I could think of was this sounding like a Tolkien character.

Oh Ginger Elizabeth, if only I could try everything.

Gabriel's favorite statue

located on Auburn blvd. It can be seen from the freeway. This was our first time up close

Unfortunate sign

Christmas present

Crazy

is the person who decides to go to a mall the day after Christmas. watching ice skaters was the only bright spot.

let my people go

After work, I drove late into the night to get to Petaluma to see Gabriel's family on Christmas morning.

I haven't seen this guy so chill in a long time

Then it was time to drive back to Sacramento so I could work on Christmas.

This was in my fortune cookie as I sat in the box office on Christmas. It depressed me greatly.

Shine on

Work party

White Elephant winnings

Some pranksters did this to my car.

Christmas Eve games

My dinner, at least, is ready. Time to go off to work.

the last minute scramble

My ugly tree complete with E.T. dressed as a lady as my angel.

Treasures on the street

I love how downtown mall has the old school Macy's door handles.

light the menorah

Gabriel made a Hanukkah feast and I made some ornaments

The Press

We went to The Press (1809 Capitol Ave.) and probably had the most awkward dining experience ever.

We were told that there would be nothing available till 8 (2 hours from our arrival) and were then seated at an awkward window seat by the door that appeared to be where people would wait for a table. It took about 2 minutes for our appetizers to come out and it was a great deal later that we received the wine we ordered to pair with them. They continued to bring out our 2nd and 3rd courses with barely any time in between

By dessert I had so many glasses in front of me due to no time to drink them. The food was pretty unremarkable and though we dropped over $100, it felt as if we were rushed out of there in favor of other parties. I would have preferred fast food to this kind of experience. Unfortunately I will never want to go back.

After we headed to Grocery Outlet where we got European candies and a movie. It really saved the night.

Laundry day

You wouldn't believe how many dirty clothes I have.

Decor

The trees and cars of midtown have decoration this fine morning.

Speak of the Devil

Right is right, game day ice

 The best time of year

 Due to the prodding of Jay Baker the room divided into sides that got pretty rowdy.

 At one point if felt like a pep rally with sides chanting at each other

 There was also a lot of talk of Game Day Light and Ice

 At some point things were stolen and blood was shed

 The part where I really lost my shit was probably Whats love got to do with it

 Left side showing off

 Worshiping the master

Smiles all around.

 The Four Eyes rock my world year after year.
