rumbi & a show



Last Wednesday Colin invited me to go see DeVotchKa.  We had rumbi island grill and good conversation on the way only to top it off with one of the most entertaining concerts i've been to.  DeVotchKa is a four piece multi instrumental ensemble [ a tuba wrapped with christmas lights!] that fuses Romanic, Greek, Slavic, Mariachi with punk and folklore. 
Not to mention Colin's favorite part--a very very hot rope dancer/ entertainer.

chinese new yeeeere.



People born in the Year of the Ox are patient, speak little, and inspire confidence in others. They tend, however, to be eccentric, and bigoted, and they anger easily. They have fierce tempers and although they speak little, when they do they are quite eloquent. Ox people are mentally and physically alert. Generally easy-going, they can be remarkably stubborn, and they hate to fail or be opposed. They are most compatible with Snake, Rooster, and Rat people.

although i believe the part about the ox[jason] and the rat getting along i'm not sure "speak little, and patience" really define jason.  lolcats.

The Lunar New Year, which begins today, ushers in the Year of the Ox. Those born under the Ox sign are dependable, calm, modest and stable. But the ox (or buffalo, cow or bull) takes on added significance in a year of global financial hardship, explains Nine-Min Cheng, community outreach director of Houston's Chinese Community Center. "We need the Year of the Ox. We want a bull market," says Cheng. 

1. Bullish on Obama

President Obama, who has pledged to begin rehabilitating the economy, was born in an ox year. Those born in this year achieve through hard work and routine.

2. True blues

The ox, according to Chinese astrology, is the best friend you could choose. So are ox celebrities Meryl Streep, George Clooney, Dustin Hoffman, Jane Fonda and Warren Beatty good to their friends? Other ox celebrities include Meg Ryan, Bruce Springsteen, Bill Cosby, Robert Redford and Jim Carrey.

3. Know thy Ox

Ox lucky numbers, according to an online horoscope, are 1, 3, 5, 12, 15, 33, 35, 51 and 53. Ox careers include composer, landlord, doctor, cook, police officer, teacher, judge, banker, insurance broker and gardener.

Feliz Navidad

there are so many great aspects of xmas but my favorite is finding the perfect gift to give people. 
i enjoy the thrill of looking for that one thing that you know is going to really make that person happy, but also surprising them.
i know that my brothers will love their presents if i have a hard time giving these precious thrift store finds to them because i love them so much i would like to keep them myself.  
i found allen the greatest italian tan leather messenger bag with two metal buckles straps.  
so great.

it's been a peaceful, navidad.  full of love, the spirit of christmas and family humor.
