Friday night out with the girls in Downtown LA. Holy shit did we have a great time! Takami was fantastic and Elevate was hoppin’ once the DJ arrived. We met some cool new people after trying in vain to get rid of some assholes. So much fun! Saturday, B and I ran some errands which I ended with a bottle of Limoncello in one hand and tawny port in the other. And then I fell in love with a condo 2 doors down from us. They had an open house and these two cats totally indulge our curiosity. Guys, I...

Dear John David, [with ETA here…last night when I started the entry, I was on the way out to see a movie and I had 3 shots of limoncello so I couldn’t really write.] You can NOT be a USC quarterback and try to grow a beard. Haven’t you learn from when Carson and Matt tried back in the days? Every time those boys attempt to grow beard, their games suffered. Uncharacteristic suckage came with that beard, my friend. 27-24 against the Huskies isn’t a victory. Luck is on our side. I mean, did someone slipped out of the stadium...

Amy the Gridiron Goddess, my Cardinal and Gold blood sister and an all around good friend, took over KROQ this morning for a good few minutes of football talk. Here’s the podcast. And she’s about a third of the way in. Now, YOU write to KROQ and tell them how cool she is. Tell Kevin, Bean, Ralphs, Psycho Mike, Alex, Lightning, and even Lisa @ kroq.com that they need to have the Goddess on every Friday to talk football. And go Trojans! Beat the Huskies!!!...

For 14 years you have never let me down. But I guess 14 years is a long time. I was only a few days ago when we got together last. This morning, as I stood in front of my vanity, I held you in my hands as you took your last breath. RIP my faithful hairdryer. You have served me well. P.S. Who knew that a well positioned space heater works fantastically in drying you hair!...

On top of having an emotional break last night (still going on today, by the way), I also had 2 back to back nightmares…something about haunted house, me and Celeste sleeping on the kitchen floor, Mexican cannibals and their herd of flesh eating cats. (No, I don’t know where all of that came from other than perhaps residual images from Resident Evil: Extinction.) I felt like I slept for the total of 2 hours max. To ensure a good night sleep tonight, I had me 2 glasses of wine with dinner. And big ol’ hug from Brandon and a good...

I just wrote an email to my brothers. It goes something like this: You don’t know what it is at first but suddenly your heart flutters and you feel like you couldn’t catch your breath. Then your heart sinks. It feels so heavy as if it’s pulling your shoulders the floor along with itself. Anxiety attack? Sounds like it. But it isn’t. But then tears well up in your eyes, and you realize it’s mom you’re missing. What you feel is a hole left by her absence. And then you cry. Sometimes the whole sinking heart thing goes away. Sometime...
