Cleaned out the old restaurant I purchased. I can finally start hiring contractors to come in and modeling it to my liking and then look into hiring staff.

If there are any aspiring Italian chefs hoping to find work, contact me and I'll set up an interview.

Snowday in June.

I had a boyfriend once that could do that.

Ah, California. It's been many years since I've been on this side of America, though I must say that I spent most of that time in San Francisco and not here in Orange County. I am quite happy at the prospect of spending an extended amount of time here.

My name, as I'm certain it's considered standard to introduce oneself, is Max Eisenhardt. I am a professor and will be teaching at UCI come fall. I feel perhaps there aren't many on this network my age, but I do like to keep up with the times. If one does not embrace progress then one will find themselves quickly out of touch, after all. I do wonder perhaps if some of my prospective students are here?

Never think you shall sleep well, for something surely will go wrong and force you to get out of bed.

It's only about a month now, before our new line launches. Everyone has been working very hard over here at Lu Qing Jewelers. I flew up to San Francisco recently to work alongside my employees and check all the finished pieces. Every single one meets my high quality standards. I have such an amazing team of jewelers working for me!

As a reminder, the name of the summer line is called the Cosmos Line. A snippet from my original press release:

Our Cosmos line will include pieces that evoke images of the stars above us, the night sky, and some of our artists' favorite constellations. Pieces from the line will be available at a wide range of prices, the lowest of which you can find in your department store showcases. Lu Qing Jewelers believes that everyone should have the right to sparkle!

It is likely that I won't have a chance to breathe until June, but it is well worth it!

I think I might have selected the location for my future restaurant. I just need to go to the bank and get a loan. Fingers crossed. Then Orange County can have some decent Italian food that isn't the bullshit Olive Garden.

Hello! I'm Lothiriel and new to the area. I just sailed from New York, and I'm excited to be here for a while. I was super excited to drop off gifts for my cousins, Boromir and Faramir. Speaking of? Hi, you guys!

So what does everyone do around here, for fun? I always end up asking when I come into port for a while, since asking the locals is the way to find out where all the best places to eat or drink are, and where to go shopping. If I buy too much, I might sink my little boat! I better be careful that I don't go overboard. :)

I'm surprised no one mentioned the gorgeous lunar eclipse we had last night. I threw myself a little party on my second floor terrace. Drinks and canapes with my two telescopes. It was a lovely evening, just me and the open sky.

My dreams seem to be centered around things like celestial bodies and light. I've been fascinated with these things my entire life. I wonder if that was some form of foreshadowing?

These past few weeks have been an adventure, not necessarily in a good way at all. My usual routine for weathering these sorts of things involves long hours at work, though I took the time to donate blood and help out where I could, of course.

My newest gallery show, 'Diamonds on Black Velvet' is nearly set to open. I have only a few pieces left to finish, but I'm waiting on a new shipment of diamonds before I can continue. I only use the small, industrial type that my company wouldn't be able to use in its jewelry pieces, of course. They aren't valued very highly, but they do still sparkle enough for my purposes.

I think after all this work I'm due for a break. Perhaps that local Senator can finally make good on his offer to take me out for the evening. Seeing as it's likely he's back to his old self.

Cut for mentions of bombing, but is public )

For anyone who may need any help or assistance in any way, who were affected, my name is Mary Margaret Blanchard and I run the women and children's shelter in Irvine, near the mall and our doors are open to anyone who might need any kind of help.

The Hubble Telescope is celebrating its 24th Anniversary by gifting us with a gorgeous photograph.

This 'nearby' star factory is part of the Monkey Head Nebula ... it is 6,400 Light Years away from us. Breathtaking. Some of the stars in that photograph have only just been born.

Ladies and Gentlemen, the very stuff in this photograph is the building blocks upon which we were formed. We were born from stars such as this, and to these stars we will return someday.

Last night I had a dream that involved more singing than anyone should be comfortable with outside of an opera or musical.

What's ridiculous is that in my day to day life I've actually had people politely ask me to stop singing along to the music. Everyone's a critic, I suppose.

If you haven't had the time to watch Cosmos: A Space Odyssey, then I highly recommend you take the time to watch the encore showing this evening. You can also catch the premier episode online, if that's your thing.

If you were looking for a way for Science to inspire you, you need look no further than this absolutely amazing series.

While I like to keep up with social media and our company does have an excellent website, I have to admit that I don't really get a lot of time to 'surf the internet'.

You can imagine my surprise when my secretary sent me a link to a website called 'Cougar Life'. Apparently, someone with no scruples and a questionable sense of humour decided to sign me up there. I'm mostly amused. The cease and desist is on its way to them, of course.

But... really? 'Cougar Life'? Gentlemen, surely you can find attractive older women in a much more elegant fashion.

Orange County has proven very welcoming, so far, though I wonder if I ate something bad last night. My dreams made no sense.

I'm pleased to announce that Lu Qing will be putting out its new line this summer. It's a great time of year to enjoy the night, do a little stargazing and breathe in the summer air. Why not add a little sparkle?

Our Cosmos line will include pieces that evoke images of the stars above us, the night sky, and some of our artists' favorite constellations. I'm very excited about it myself, because I got to craft quite a few of the pieces on my own. I hope you'll enjoy them as much as I enjoyed them - and the range includes quite a few affordable selections.

Why should the rich have all the fun, mm?
