stuck at the studio. staying here until this mess is over. WTF, right?

[text to E. Okoye]
safe @ the studio! can't get manager on phone.

[text to D. Wiley]
Please tell me you're okay, and not in your apartment in the middle of Rainier Valley and somewhere safe and are able to get here. If not, I'm going to have to come down and get you.

[text to J. Hart]
They said a bunch of those people were moving toward your area. Are you okay? Do you want to come over?

[text to W. Wallace]
Are you okay? Tell me you're somewhere safe. Some girl on the radio said a bunch of those people were going to your area.

[locked to scouts]
I'm inviting a few people over, if that's okay.

[text to L. Henry after this]
I haven't heard from you. Are you in your apartment?

[After educating himself in the world of popular culture, Okoye decides to give his blonde client a call.]

[Kylie spent her New Year performing at an event in LA, which someone TiVo'd for Bunny. The interesting part of this is that she dragged Radcliff Holland with her. There are a couple pictures of them together snapped backstage at the event, and several more of the two of them avoiding cameras after the event.

The pictures from the hotel, allegedly of the two of them in the pool, are very grainy and unsubstantiated. They do, however, show two generally unhappy-looking, fully-clothed people. If it's true (and no one is saying it is) then it wasn't a fun pool episode. There were two rooms booked under her manager's name, and they both took the same domestic flight home early the next morning. The hotel staff is very discreet. Thank god, because they were squabbling via text and through their adjoining doors for most of the night.

The only statement as of 1/2/11 is posted on her website (www.kyliedawes.com), and is as follows.]

Hey, everyone, I just wanted to say hello and thanks so much to everyone who joined us in Los Angeles for New Years! I had a great time performing and ringing in the new year with my fans and friends!

[after this]

Ms. Daw Kylie, I can't accept this! It's way too expensive!

If one more person complains to me about the weather I'm going to see to it that they're forced to make snow angels until the ground thaws. Welcome to Seattle, folks, everything you've heard is true. It's gray, it's gloomy, and if that's not your thing, by all means move to Florida. I hear it's nice this time of year and every time of year if you can handle racing old folks in scooters down the sidewalk.

My name's Blake Thorne. I'm new to the boards, not to Seattle. Are you new in town? Invest in a coat. Star wipe to 'The more you know.'

Be careful coming and going, guys. Jogging this morning turned into absolute madness, between the cops and the press. Laying low for the day couldn't hurt, if you can swing it.

[text to E. Okoye]
hey, watch the cops coming in tonight!

[after mail delivery of the day and a trip to the post office to pick up a parcel that wouldn't fit in his box at Hamartia.]

Hi.

So, my mother decided to send me this box of X-mas ornaments, I think she got them off of ebay or something and I have really no idea what to do with them. There's really no room in here for a tree or anything. I don't know what all is inside. It looks like some kind of crazy grab-bag of ornaments as far as I can tell so not searching it, who knows what's in there, but it's a decent sized box.

Was wondering if any of you might have a use for it.

Okoye,

Shopping for new clients? My manager forwarded a reference check to me. Hopefully this lady was legit!

XOXO

My PR guy wants to have dinner with us to discuss how to turn everyone living together into something besides a complete disaster. When do we all have time for this? Doug, you don't have to come if you don't want to, but I know you were still thinking about it!

[Email to A. Sparke, could very well be delivered to his secretary]

Okay, so everyone currently living in our apartment should totally get on-board with holiday decorations. I mean, some of it has been done, but there's still a decided lack of a tree, and it's 10 days until Christmas. We're pretty much all being Scrooge right now. So can we work out some time this weekend for tree-getting & decorating? Yes? Maybe? Pleeeeease?


[Public]

Where is everyone buying their trees this year?


[text to S. King, Wednesday afternoon]

so... how long after a major crisis would it need to be to be ok for me to ask to reschedule that ice skating?

Look, I know that we live in Seattle, I know that it's the grayest blah blah blah and it rains all the time, but seriously. Rain, every day. No snow. It's cold. Cold means snow, and snow means Winter Wonderland.

Which means that somebody should get on that, or else there's going to be words. If we've got people that can run around and be super heroes, and people who can do all this crazy stuff, there's got to be at least one person who can control the weather!

So maybe patience isn't a virtue of mine. It's not like that's a surprise to anyone!

So just so that everyone knows I'm trying to find the frost fairies that live in Christmas trees again this year and I need your help. If you purchase a Christmas tree from a Christmas tree farm (none of those stupid fake trees have frost fairies just so you know but I think this would be obvious) make sure you watch for frost fairies because they die pretty quick once you take them inside. They're really small about the size of your thumb and are generally thought to be a light sort of bluey color with transparent wings. Some people say they're naked but that doesn't make a lot of sense because it's cold in winter and being naked just doesn't sound fun when you spend all your time in the snow.

Anyway if you find a frost fairy take a picture and send it to me I'm going to keep track of sightings this year and see if there are any trends.

Does anyone know how to get glitter out of your hair? Short of holding a dustbuster to my head, I've tried everything I can think of.

I should I don't want There's no way of knowing who Does anyone here own a business that's looking to hire? I'm new to the area and need a job. I'd prefer to work with Creations. Less trouble if I I can't stand Customer service would Shit I need a drink. A very strong drink.

[During this.]

Bunny's awake. Where are you?

[text to B. Lucine, after seeing Alfie's statement on TV.]

Luke's ok? Did you see the news? Did his dad call you?




[text to S. King, after the text to Bunny]

Re-think moving in please? We need you.

[Texts sent to S. King, R. Holland & D. Wiley immediately following this.]

9-1-1! Need you @ Aubade ASAP. Bunny's freaking out.

[After this and this.]

[Phone message to M. Main at the Times front desk. It's not a direct, a secretary brings a post-it in which she's inscribed the following message. She looks confused.]

Mr. Brandon says he is working late on the sleeping goat (??) case, and not to worry about staying at the mechanic's for as long as it takes to wait for news on the heirloom they're working on.

[Phone call to Oracle. Regardless of whether she picks up or it's a voicemail, he says the same thing:]

I need a trace on [Cayman Account #]. Top priority. Drop everything else. Please.

[He hangs up a second after.]

[Phone call to P. Worth. This one, he waits for a reply.]

I need a time estimate of one billion liquid. Now, Alfie.

[PUBLIC TO FORUMS.]

I need more time.

So, I spent all of today in the studio, which was fine. Tiring, but fine. It comes with the territory, right? That's the job.

I was way less okay with the jerks who kept interrupting my studio time. Seriously? I've had this booked for months. No, it's not fine with me if you blunder your way in and try to convince me that you just need a little time, that it won't take long, etc. A) Recording takes forever, I'm not fooled. B) No, go to another studio if you need it ASAP. And if you don't, book the time like everyone else.

Wasted like an hour and a half of my day. Not cool. Rude!

On a happier note, thank you to everyone who came to the housewarming party! I hope you had a good time and maybe met some people or made some friends or something. That was the whole point.


[Private to S. King]

Do you want to
So maybe we could
I have the uncontrollable urge to go ice-skating. Like, to this ridiculous degree that if I don't go I might go crazy. Do you want to come with? You can laugh at me if I fall. And I'm totally willing to bribe you with hot chocolate.
