Laser Tag!!! Yes, that’s right… I kick ass at laser tag! I’ve been twice this past month; and, besides the fact that it is amazingly fun, I am pretty damn good at it! I came in 1st place twice last night (of 7 games) and placed in 2nd or 3rd in ever game except 2 of them (which I came in 4th & 6th).
Anyhow, here’s the weekend recap…
Friday – John & I went to NoHo to test drive a Smart for no good reason. It was soooooo cute! The brakes were a bit odd, but I am sure you can get used to them pretty quickly. I loved being up so high, yet in such a small car that I could park anywhere! They are also totally customizable, which is super cool.
After the test drives, we went to Good Earth for dinner, then to see Leatherheads. The movie was hilarious, and the acting was great. This is a must-see movie if you like George Clooney and period pieces. It’s excellent, all the way!
Saturday – John & I met up with Dave & Michele at Santa Anita Race Track, where they ran a 5K that morning. We arrived around noon, for the first horse race. I bet about $2 per race, and lost $20 total – my horses were totally bunk! It was so much fun though! If I had the money, I’d go back once a month!
We headed back home at 3pm, and David & Elysia came over. I took them to Griffith Park (Creepy Cages area) to do their headshots. I got some great photos thanks to Michele for lending me her 50mm f1.4!
In the evening, John & I went over to the Towers for the screening of the first episode of Bumps in the Night – the internet series that he, Greg & Emmett have been working on for a few months. Most people enjoyed the episode, and lots of people gave helpful notes. I hope this will lead to great success for all of them in this and future film-making endeavors!
Our new friend, Brent, A Drexel student, just moved to LA for an internship. He got off the plane from PA, took a flyaway then a cab to the screening to meet up with us. He’d be staying with us for a few days until his apartment is ready.
Sunday – John & I woke up early, picked up Bobby & James, went to Noah’s Bagels for breakfast, then drove up to Lancaster to meet up with Michele, Mike D & Sarah to photograph the poppies. This week’s bloom was much greater than last week’s! It was very windy, still, but even more impressive! I think I got some great shots! We had lunch at BJ’s afterward, then headed back home.
In the evening, Brent, John & I met up with Emmett, Mike S & Ryan at UltraZone for some laser tag. An all night pass allows unlimited access, and we were practically the only ones there; so, we got a good 7 runs! It was so much fun having that place to ourselves. Occasionally, we were joined by some other people, but never more than a few at a time. I was very surprised at how well I did, and I really hope to get a bigger group together to do this again in May!
Today – back at work. It’s quiet, but busy. I am hoping to have a quick chat with an HR person from Disney tomorrow. We’ll see what happens!
