Mini-Tree
Experts recommend to start planning for and thinking about the holiday's starting in late September, mid-October. This, they claim, provides ample time to think about what you want to get and keep your eye out for the best deals on the years hottest gifts and most lavish decorations. Although I suppose I am a bit behind schedule I finally got around to buying a tree. Now, I sadly must admit that I sold out to a fake tree but under the circumstances, I'm sure you will understand.
Here she is, standing proudly at 1ft, 1inch, this little guy has brought so much light into our lives.
Additionally, I ventured out into the world of popcorn decorations:
Step one: Pop popcorn. I recommend staying away from the butter and salty flavors because it tends to attract buggies!
Step two: Thread the popcorn with sewing thread and needle. Make sure the popcorn is cold and I would recommend it even be a bit on the stale side.
Step three: Carefully wrap around tree. Add white lights and a glittery gold bow at the top.
Optional: Presents wrapped in brown paper bags for a complete classic look !

Winter Wonderland!
Saba's mom, the lovely Khlaeh Gulhan arrived on Friday and she brought us lots of goodies. And she took a picture to prove it !
We went and saw the Nutcracker, a Moeel/Khoshab annual tradition (that just started this year!) It was a freezing night! Many speculated snow !!
And they were riiiight! We woke up this morning to the first SNOW of the season!!!
Here is a video I took in the morning from my bedroom window. Look closely and you can see the flakes falling !

Boz
In the Persian language Boz means Goat. My mom likes to use the phrase as a term of endearment. She also happens to be somewhat of a tree-hugger, a hippie if you will. And this past summer when my family went to Norway and Sweden to go hiking and camping she ran into an old college comrade from the pre-revolutionary days. An exiled goat that went too North.
Ladies and Gents, my mom and a boz.

White Dress
Caviar Moet, my soon to blow up and get hella rich roomate, is working on her senior thesis at Parsons . Its a collection of bridal gowns for the hottest and most fabulous brides to be.
So, because I have the body of a runway model, she asks me to try on her dresses to see if they will fit.
Here is one that she is working on! Now in the real one she will use way better fabric. This is the test run to figure out the fitting and patterns etc. Isn't she lovely???
I will be following her progression all year so check back for updates ya'll !

Small World and Ethnic Ambiguity

Wax On, Wax Off
Today was the Global Village Festival in Irvine. I went cause my mom was invited to do ceramics wheel demonstrations. But in the meantime my brother and I wandered around checking out all the ethnic booths and local businesses taking advantage of mass advertising.
Among them was a continuous karate performance by students from the local chapter of the karate school. Here's a picture of the finale of the show that makes Ralph Macchio look like a chump. Ha-Ya! Fool snapped both boards at the same time:

Pumpkin Patch
As the Summer slowly ends and the Fall creeps in I start to get excited for the pumpkin flavored treats that flood coffee shops and restaurants! Every Fall my family buys a pumpkin, empty's out the seeds, washes them and bets on how many seeds there are. Here's my brother, a few years back, counting the results.
Usually I lose. My guesstimation skills are minimal.
Without telling the rest of the family my brother throws a few seeds in the backyard in the hopes that something will grow.
This year, it did. Check out this little dooby that skooted its way out of the land.
My folks, who are losing most of their senses, didn't even notice this bad boy till it was almost full-grown.

I Bumped My Head
This evening, after leaving dinner my friends, we gawked as several fire fighters rescued a poor kitty from a SoHo tree. As I was rambling on and on about how hot and manly fire-fighters are, I found myself in a head on collision (literally) with a telephone pole at in front of an entire row of outdoor diners (who really enjoyed it).
As I covered my forehead and ran away, it began to grow at an alarming rate. I literally felt the bump grow like Elmer Fudd on the Looney Toons cartoons when an anvil falls on his head and a large lump immediately pops out. You know, its near death experiences like these that make one really appreciate the litthe things in life.
After about an hour of ice:
Go ahead, laugh it out.
Cause if this ever happens to you in front of me, I'd laugh too.

Dana Discovery Center
They should just give me my Oscar right now. I took a two day workshop about video editing and had to make a 1 minute (exactly) movie about whatever our teacher assigned. We got the visitor center next to Harlem Meer in Central Park North.
So here it is, world premier of my first SHORT. (My other film was LONG) Plus my partner woudn't let me be the star, so this is my directorial comeback.
Coming Soon: other stuff.
