man. i can't wait to see how my body reacts. for a while it seemed like i wasn't going to be affected - my internal clock is screwed anyway - but my being awake right now poses an interesting twist.


i'm actually pretty sleepy, but i'm so happy right now.

the men in my life are really something. i finally caught up with ja today, and to make up for having me wait so long for him, he took me to this gorgeous authentic mexican restaurant where i had THE most amazing carne asada (and horchata! mmmm...). while we were at the restaurant, he bought me a lily/rose bouquet, which smells heavenly, and after sketching me while i was writing, we went down to the marina, where i walked along the pacific ocean for the very first time.

all this was accompanied by nonstop conversation with many geeky references (family guy, futurama, various comics, random stuff from the ten years we've known each other), and even though we hadn't seen each other in four years, it's like we picked up right where we left off. i was so happy to see him today. best date ever!

i'll post pics of my gorgeous flowers and the awesome freehand sketch (which took all of two minutes, if that - i didn't even know he was drawing me) soon.

night/morning, my loves! your lovely lady lily must get some rest.

this city is GORGEOUS. i almost want to move here. but i can't give up on philly; as crazy as it might sound to some, it's my dream city (even though i hate the snow).


i took a ton of photos (and video!) today, and tomorrow when i go to pick up a mini USB cord after hanging out w/ my best friend Ja, i will be uploading all those goodies for everyone to see. right now i think i'm going to kick back and sip on some whiskey.

ahhh... nice little weekend vay-cay in cali... this place is kinda romantic - oooOOOooo. my mind keeps drifting. gotta take a sledgehammer to it to keep it skraight.

so i heard that last night's AKiLLES & the Oddicy appearance in Brooklyn was pretty crazy. Dice Raw and Pharoahe Monch came to see our boys tear it down. i wish i could've been there! i can't wait until the photos come up.

shouts to curly castro, who always has some sweet words for your lady Lily :) love that man.


so i'll have plenty of time to put what photos i have left up while i'm on the six hour evening flight to San Diego tomorrow night.


i'm excited, but as my boy kwes said, i know we're "gonna be jet-lagged like shit." oi. a'purrntly my love fame is going to be in cali too. i might be in LA saturday, boo!

my brain won't even function right now. tonight took it out of me. platform heels are a great contribution. 'night, all.
