I posted a long time ago about the pain of being a Jane of All Trades. The trades I keep collecting have a collective weight that threaten to crush me. Just take a look at the list. Current Hobbies Playing piano, guitar (need to do more of that) and singing. Cooking. Photography. Photography of stuff I cooked. Blogging. Tweeting. USC Football fanatic. Pop culture fiend. TV junkie. Movie and entertainment news addict. Supporting the troops with being an Operation Paperback volunteer and gathering funds to do my own Operation Jingle All the Way annually. Thrill the World Los Angeles. Developing...

I’m not safe on a bike. Never have been. But I insist on getting on the thing so I can spend time with Brandon. Not to mention that it’s fun. Y’all remember my little blue Townie? After the stunts I pulled yesterday, I now have a name for the bike. Wallbait. You’ll see why here in a bit. Feeling ambitious on Sunday, I proposed that we rode from our place to the Alamitos Bay Farmers’ Market in Long Beach so I can pick up some fresh veggies. After all, Brandon hooked up my cargo department so my little bucket won’t...

But first, a shout out. Gregg, HAPPY FATHER’S DAY! Now. The coverage. David brought wings from Hooters. I brought pasty pies from Pasty Kitchen. Gregg provided alcohol. This past Friday, the Hooters & Pasties was born. (Thank GOD, nobody taped me channeling Thom Yorke and Eddy Veddar…) Proceed at your own risk of hearing loss. [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LqJ-uZJZiAs] The second session contains some truly frightening vocal performance. However, hilarity factor is REALLY high.

One of those questionnaires people sent around asked, where would you want to live if you can live anywhere. My answer is “out of a suitcase, in hotel room, anywhere in the world.” Some people insist that they sleep in their own bed. I don’t seem to have that much of an attachment. I like to be somewhere else once in a while. A change of scenery during the day is one thing, but to have slept somewhere different is something else altogether. Yeah, I guess you could say I have the Travel Bug. A dormant strain, compared to many,...

It’s been a crazy weekend. But super fun. AND productive. First of all, Brandon has FINALLY came out of the severe sinus infection that he had. And with abundant energey fueled by cabin fever, he ran errands all over town for me on Friday. Because, you see, on Saturday, I threw a casual baby shower for a coworker and his girlfriend at my friend Amy’s house. I made these surprisingly gorgeous and delicious pasta carbonara tartlets and fruity modification of the Italian Scroppino (lemon sorbet + prosecco + splash of vodka). After all of that, I came running home to...

My brain refuses to shut off. I am simultaneously working on plotting the route to the Port of Long Beach boat tour tomorrow, then what to take to the Long Beach Tweet Up potluck tomorrow night. Then planning a baby shower for my coworker next Saturday. Then updating my LinkedIn status and checking in on the long-abandoned MySpace. Then connecting my family with my beloved cousin who hasn’t been back to Thailand from New Zealand in YEARS. And I’m thinking about the Italian lessons I will be taking September and if I should start prepping for that with a dictionary...
