I miss him.

The Killers are taking a break, meaning no new album coming out for awhile.  Good for them.  Bad for me.

It's 1:20 am...can't sleep...raining outside....searching the net for anything new on Brandon. 
I MISS HIM!!!

Here is a short clip of an impromptu gig in Vegas last week.  I like the casual look on him. 


The killers' cover of "hotel california":


This is a really great song called "Thief in the Choir".  It's by a San Diego band "Louis XIV"..Brandon sings the chorus in this song...so good!  I can't find a youtube clip of this song, so click on the link below to listen to this awesome song.  
I met the band members of Louis XIV when I saw them in concert in Germany.  One of them told me that he misses eatting pizza at Lefty's, which is the local pizza place in my neighborhood...OH, in fact, he lives in North Park, when not touring!    

Note: 
1)  Click on the title of the song (Thief in the Choir)
2)  After you open the link, click on the little audio feature under the title of the song.

GO CHARGERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh please, oh please, oh please!


Geez.  It is so P.A.I.N.F.U.L. being a Chargers fan.  It really really hurts.  I don't think they are Super Bowl material, but damn....it is pure torture.

Go Brees!!!!  Go Favre!!!

These pictures were taken during the first half (the happy half):

The Hood

Adrian and I used to take walks in the neighborhood to check out other people's remodeling jobs.  It's fun for us to see how people fix up these old houses.  The majority of the homes in our neighborhood were built from 1920's - 1940's.

We took a stroll yesterday to see if there were many changes since we'd left.

This is so great!  Check out this vegetable garden in the front yard!  They even planted strawberries, which you can't really see in this picture.....strawberries in the front yard, just like our place in Romania...Adrian already decided that he is going to plant strawberries in our front yard too.  You see, that is why we take these walks...inspiring!

New shop in South Park called "Home Ec. Studio"....they offer classes on how to sew all those cute Anthropologie-like things (curtains, aprons, napkins, etc).  Oh, if only I have time!

Paulina handles the school changes well....she just goes with the flow.  No sweat.

Waiting in the office on her first day at the new school....

We live in an old neighborhood.  Her elementary school opened the year my family came to the US from Vietnam (1975)!
