A quick snapshot from last night’s walk home. How could I not photograph the 5th Avenue Apple Store!? Mom, this photo is for you. ^_^
On another note, the Department of Justice today filed suit against Apple for their e-book prices. I guess when the government is broke, go after one of the richest companies in the world.

I’ll be home soon…
Or so it will seem.
Housesitting for the bosses while they’re in China. A little repayment for cancellation of my trip, and I’m not complaining.
This is my view for the next two(ish) weeks. I have no idea when I’m coming back. They bought me a one-way ticket.
Stomping around the Lower East Side, all city-slicker in all black. Feeling like a big city girl. Flashbacks to Beijing. I love NY but could never live here.
[Don't quote me on that.]
LA I’ll be back soon.

Spotted: A fifth tenant in our building.
Actually I noticed this little (well, not quite) guy outside our house when taking out last night’s trash. Being the OCD photog I am, I grabbed my tripod and popped a few long exposure shots.
I did some research to help myself sleep. Here’s what I found:
The house spider: This is an imported spider with world wide distribution. In southern California this spider is more common in gardens, on trees, walls and buildings. It hangs in the center of its web with its legs characteristically folded over its carapace, often with one or more grey to reddish-brown, papery, teardrop shaped egg sacs. Achaearanea may be distinguished from the similar Tidarron by the gray striped abdomen with a pattern of chevrons near and above the spinnerets. Males have legs similar in length to the 1/4 inch females, but are reddish brown and more slender. We have several other species of Achaearania in southern California.
Is this true? Is this fatty just your common house spider? Am I overreacting after a series of traumatic spider-in-bed experiences in Pullman? As long as he stays outside, we’re cool.

After the photo overload of last weekend, I’m back to my routine of work, work, work. Not complaining, just missing how much fun I had with Doug! (The perks of a personal makeup artist on-hand weren’t bad either…)
Gearing up for a busy week of focus groups. Looking forward to the Halloween weekend. Since I didn’t take many photos this weekend I’m revisiting some night crawler favorites, unsaturated of course.
What’s everyone dressing up as for Halloween? I have, hands down my, best costume yet. Thanks Mom for sending. Anyone else going to The Well!?

Doug and I did our own little art crawl around Venice Saturday night.
And yes, in case you can’t tell, Doug Dove is a MAC makeup genius. If and when I make it big, Doug will be my makeup artist :] Until that happens, you should get on board because he’s loaded with amazing makeup, skincare and beauty tips.
Doug Dove Cosmetics? That sounds perfect.
*Seattlites: Doug just landed a new position at MAC in the Downtown Nordstrom. Swing by to get spruced up!
