This was supposed to be a note to everyone that I was gonna post over an hour and a half ago that I got home safe, I'm fine, and my birthday's totally chill.

Then I came home to my girl and all hell broke loose.

Long story short (because the homecoming gets personal, so I ain't gonna blog about it), Zee gave me my birthday present and knocked me on my ass.

The woman gave me back my plane.

I don't know how she did it, but Zee located the 1909 I bought in Germany for five grand in 1910. The one that Houdini bought, I mean...and? The whole damn thing's been restored. She's just like I remember her...and I do remember her. I sat in the cockpit, and it was like I was back in Australia again...

She's being stored in a hangar in Playa Vista, and it's the most amazing thing to happen to me today since my mom's baklava and the ring my folks gave me. The trip was just amazing, and I learned a lot. Reconnected with my roots, my family, and I had a lot of fun.

This has been a really awesome birthday, even though I spent most of it on the road, but thanks to everyone that's been so cool to me today. I'll have vacation pictures up later, some of 'em I gotta get from my crew in Searchlight (Hank, e-mail me that stuff from the Mirage, will ya? And tell your Dad thanks for the roundhouse pointers.)

Dee, Theo, you get in okay? Call me.

Now if you'll excuse me, I'm gonna go pet my cat and spend time with my girl.

It's really good to be home...peace out, folks.

I don't know if anybody around here lives in Las Vegas? But I had a real party yesterday spending my afternoon fucking with people. Seriously, it's awesome.

First I screwed with this guy working behind the MGM Grand. Then I hung out at the Mirage and did some stuff until they made me leave. They were nice about it, though.

Two things happened because of the Mirage thing, though. First? I got caught by a camera crew doing some promotional vid for the hotel...you know one of those things that runs in the rooms 24/7? They liked my stuff so much they asked me to do the bird trick for the film.

Secondly? Me and my girls ran into Channing Vale having lunch with the Amazing Johnathan. No shit. For those of you that don't know, The Amazing Johnathan is the best comedy magician you'll ever meet. Channing Vale's making a name for herself as probably the premiere female magician in Vegas. She did a run at Harrah's a while back, subbing for Mac King, and now she's got a show opening at the Flamingo in December with preview shows beginning at the start of October.

Anyway, long story short? Channing invited us to her suite for drinks after lunch, so we all went and I completely bugged out a group of people in the hall outside her room.

After Chan invited us to her opening (and told Theo to look her up if she ever wanted a job...rock on, sister), we all left and hit the street again. I did a voodoo demonstration for some passers by, got some help from Dee, who was awesome...and then got my ass kicked by Sassy when she found me letting a guy give me a bloody nose. Still love ya, babe.

In other news, thanks to Theo for the clips of my crazy bullshit, she's an ace with the digital camera. But you're seeing it right: my hair's more or less grown back. I'm kinda glad to look like me again. So everyone that hated the new 'do...I'm back.

Just a note to everyone, 'cause I almost missed my flight yesterday (no regrets there, baby...miss you already), but I'm gonna be kind of off and on 'cause I'm on vacation. Right now I'm back home in Brooklyn and staying with my cousin Carbone. Got in last night, no trouble, and I slept in today. Aunt Zeph woke me up with a breakfast I almost couldn't eat after the food Boney made her shove down my throat last night...

It feels really good to be home.

Anyway, I'm here until Wednesday, then I'm gonna spend a couple days in Wisconsin before I head to Vegas for about a week. If my folks don't make me stay at home, I'll probably be staying at the Luxor, then I'm gonna ride home...finally get my bike from the house. I'm really looking forward to it.

So I'm in New York now, Brooklyn specifically...anyone that wants to see me, come on over! We're heading out to Machpela Cemetery in Queens today...well...for obvious reasons. Tomorrow I'm gonna go to Gate of Heaven in Hawthorne.

I gotta go, Aunt Zeph's yelling in Greek. Call me or text me if you need me or just plain miss me...I'll be home in about two weeks! Zee, Hardy, miss you guys...Sass, Bee, I'm coming to see you when I hit town!

Are you ready? ;)

Insidious little thing, I tell ya. I spent maybe an hour and a half just searching for something close to my jewelry, and I still think I failed massively. By the way, it's hard to see 'cause they're black? But little anime me is wearing a set of shackles. Now that, I thought, was pretty damn cool.

Okay, now I gotta finish up this Ad Council poster, then go back to working on Buried Alive on the sly...

So I'm doing this ad layout for an indie press out in West Hollywood this afternoon, right? Stylized photos of certain celebrities, kinda comic art style. What can I say, I came away from Comic Con with a little inspiration.

So I finished the layout, got it approved, sent it out to the client, and even got the invoice prepped and ready for Accounting. I'm current on all my projects until Caz gets back into town to check me on the three I'm covering for him, and my billing's all up to date.

That led to me messing around with this...



Reason I'm posting it? It's that dead in the office today. It was draw pictures or do those meme things, and I figure anyone reading my journal might kill me if I did a million of those things, so...yeah.

ooc: Art is not actual art, rather doctored up product of a Criss Angel dollmaker I stumbled across. :P If you want, g'head and check it out here!

Okay, so I was looking for a file on my computer today? And I found a folder with some old pics that I'd scanned in. And when I say old, I mean old, I hadn't cut my hair yet. Most of 'em are from my big pilgrimage to Houdini's grave, but there's also one random from school in there worth laughing at.

So if you wanna see what a misspent youth looks like, follow me in...

Houdini and Me... )

And because we all need a good laugh...
