it's been a shitty sickly week

but this helps

micah is FOUR! and LOVED

Aunt Victoria gave Micah some royal treatment.





He asked for a duck piñata, and so he got a parrot-duck...





There were rules and turns... and a lot of hitting.






Finally Micah was given the honor of really killing it without the blindfold on.





Then, it died.




And the way all consumed objects go...




Mommy made stupendous lego cakes!





and the aunties got some love...





There was a trick bike that I rode my mom on, this picture really captures the hilarity.




the lovelies were loving it up on the grass.

i love chico's in highland park

chilaquiles
cafe de olla

in time for dinner in los angeles

it hurts

there is so much beauty here in this city of hurt. there are all the old violations of childhood of adolescence and finally, now in grown up hood.

it's so heavy

i trod along the sandy shore
i've always walked along the shore, hoping that my tears won't be sighted by passersby
desperately wishing that the infinity in the waves beyond the horizon are a sure promise of
more joy
less pain
