I’m so ready for Star Wars: A New Hope to be made into a musical. I would definitely like to see my sister play Princess Leah!
I’m sitting here with two stripey cats – one on each side of me, exporting a wedding from Lightroom and watching Star Wars. Yes, I love this movie!
Okay, recap…
Monday, Sept 14th – See former post.
Tuesday, Sept 15th – Worked on getting some trade show material quotations and did research for Lola Felli. At night, I went to Bar Trivia. My team did pretty lousy, but it is always a great time!
Wednesday, Sept 16th – More research, blog planning, and trade show budgeting for Lola Felli during the day. At night, I met up with my new friend Matt for pie at House of Pies, then I went home to edit photos before bed.
Thursday, Sept 17th – Had dinner with Kyle at Pink Pepper (such a great restaurant… best Thai food in LA), then we met up with Carole & Kelcey at the Knitting Factory to see Apoptygma Berzerk. What a freakin’ fantastic show! It was hot as hell in the club, but the music was sooo good I didn’t mind!
After, Kelcey, Carole & I went to the 101 Cafe. Mmmm… waffles!
Friday, Sept 18th – Picked up my friend (from middle school), Jason, in Marina Del Rey to roam around for the day. We went to lunch at the Tudor House and had some great chats with nearby patrons who are regulars to the Tea Room.
After lunch, we went for a drink at Barney’s Beanery. They have amazing bar stools that lean back!
Once Jason finished his post-lunch meal, we headed down to Point Vicente to pet star fish. We ended up only finding Abalone and Sea Anemones… the tide was rising, so we couldn’t get to the star fish at the tide pools further out.
On the way back to drop him off, we stopped at Skinny Minny’s Frozen Yogurt for a snack (to satisfy his tape worm.. haha). It was a great little place! We had such a fun day!!! I dropped him off by 7pm, and headed back to Glendale via surface streets – eeek! That took over an hour!
Once home, I fed the cats, then went to the AMC 16 to meet up with Josh, Jul, Shock, Scharff, Violet, Jason, Greg, Derek, and others to see Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs. Holy crap, wow! That was a trip and a half! I laughed so hard and still maintained a state of shock throughout most of the movie. It was truly great, especially in 3D. Once out of the theater, it took quite some time for me to come down from the alluring madness that I suggested drinks at Fantasia – stat!
I had a Kettle1 Madres (of course) and then played some pool. Bobby joined us! I met two new friends: Kathryn & Brendan. We closed down the pool hall… what a fun day!!!
Saturday, Sept 19th – Went to Costco and Michael’s Crafts with Josef, then went up to the Palace to go swimming. Dorwart’s friend brought his puppy, Otis, over and we had fun playing with him in the pool.
After leaving the Palace, I went to NoHo to pick up Adrienne and meet up with Josef, Scharff, & Dorwart at the Four & Twenty for pie. Then, we went over to the Century 8 to meet up with Eamon and Marcos to see 9. I liked it overall, but it was more visually fun than anything else. The story seemed to show that if you allow a new friend into the group, shit will get fucked up! 😉
After the movie, Josef & I went back to my place to feed and play with the cats before heading into Hollywood for karaoke & fun at Koji’s. Sang Toad’s Good Intentions and Queensryche’s Silent Lucidity. Jason & I tried Offspring’s Defy You (fail) and Violet & I tried Daniel Beddingfield’s Gotta Get Through This (fail again). Still, had an amazing night hanging out with her, Jason, Josef, Kyle, Adrienne, Bobby, Scharff, Marcos, Lyse (briefly), Ryan, Zillah, Sophia, Robert, Holly, and others!
I went home, checked email, charged camera batteries, and passed out.
Sunday, Sept 20th – Woke up at 8:30am, and got ready to head to Venice Beach. Met up with Marcos and other photogs to enjoy a day on the Venice Walk, photographing the local culture. It was great fun, and the weather was perfect!
On the way home, I met up with Violet for some frozen yogurt and catching up… not like we don’t talk daily! 😉
Once home, I passed out almost instantly! I was sooooo tired. I slept for a few hours, and then got up to feed the kitties. Been editing photos ever since (wedding from 8/22). Sandy & Aurora have spent the evening with me. They are so cute!
While editing, I watched the Emmy’s: I love Neil Patrick Harris, and the Dr. Horrible bit was hilarious! After, put on Dirty Dancing and Star Wars (flipped between both).
