Tonight Kiki and I were invited to watch the fireworks at work from Kanella's house. She said her backyard had a great vantage point from which to watch the fireworks - and it did NOT disappoint. There was the backyard with the view of the mountains, there was the lagoon-style pool with the slide leading into it, and the jacuzzi cascading down into the pool...yea, the view was one dope aspect of this house...but it didn't have the stage by itself. The view of the mountains, especially at sunset were insane. And I left my damned camera at home!
In San Diego, there seem to be a bunch of different camps of people with respect to where people want to live. Some like living in the middle of downtown aka The Gaslamp. You've got the ballpark, convention center, restaurants and coffee shops and the theater and everything up the wazzoo. Some people like living near the beach for the surfing, bohemian lifestyle and a fair bit of partying. Some people like living in the 'burbs (like me) where you're not in the middle of downtown's hussle & bustle, but have easy access to that stuff if you want. Then there areas more east that's at times characterized by lifted trucks, confederate flags and the like.
And there's Kanella's house. Big, open, loft-style, tall windows, tall doors, airy. If she had a BBQ outside I would be parked in her driveway every weekend by 9AM! After I figure out wtf is up with my allergies, I need to find a house more east. Somewhere I can entertain outside with a pool grilling on my grill, the music can be cranked and me and my guests can just be without bothering or being bothered.
The fireworks were bomb (no pun intended). I have to find this place where they got the sliders and wings from - Scootz! Go there and get down on their wings! Get down on the sliders!
Little man Nolan was there too. That little guy cracks me up! He does NOT stop moving! Even when he's tired and done for the day, he just doesn't stop! And I'm not sure if it's my locks or what, but the little doesn't stop staring at me! haha!
