Started the day with Hero Complex’s collection of the character spotlights for X-Men Origins: Wolverine. Dear Wade aka Deadpool: I am from a far off exotic place and I’m “new, exciting people”. Meet me and I’ll let you kill me with your hotness.

Funniest quote of the weekend: We rode the Passport bus to the Grand Prix and back from Alamitos Bay. Somewhere by the Bluff on our way back, we spotted a couple of ladies walking down the street holding hands. The woman in front of us turned her head completely, pointing at the couple, excitedly telling her friend, “Oh my GOD! Girl, look! Look! Lesbians holding hands!” The friend wore a Lakers hat and she didn’t really turn her head to look back, so I could only assume she’s local. I live in a diverse existance and I am an openminded...

Just got back from seeing Watchmen with Brandon and Lee. Lee, who is a big fan of the graphic novel, gave it a 4 out of 5. She said if we liked this, we definitely have to get the book, which we intend to do just that. Wow. What a revelation! It was stylized just enough. Violent in all the necessary places. I might need to talk to somebody about my mental state because Rorschach is definitely my hero now. Trailers were also massively awesome. Possibly the best line up of trailers: Wolverine, Star Trek, Terminator, and, for some of...

All of us survived the Oscars Marathon. Olaina and I actually stayed for all five. There was a good 45 minutes break between Ben Button and Slumdog Millionaire. We all had a wonderful time. I still like Slumdog Millionaire best. An FB friend raised a question of Slumdog being overrated and that there are better screenplays out there that should win. I agree with him on that. Lord knows how the Academy votes this year. Are they looking at the craftsmanship? That case, Benjamin Button should take the cake for the epic scale. Screenplay and directing? Perhaps Frost/Nixon should win...

It’s over. My big event is all done. Hellooooo, normal life! Kind of. I have next week to get content to our web people and we need to launch that puppy at the end of next month. But today, I will wrap up other things and will lunch at Drago Centro. Yep. Treating myself to a Dine LA menu as a celebration of having managed a sold-out event and having been with the Office for 4 years. I’ve also been blogging a little prolifically at the food blog since I started to remember to pick up my camera when I...

I technically haven’t been “home” since Monday. Work has been driving me bonkers with how crazy busy it’s been. I got home on Monday for 5 minutes and Brandon whisked me off to see “Taken”. Holy crap, Liam Neeson is scary. He really did carry the movie. If it was somebody else, that movie would not have been that good. But I digress. Tuesday was Spamalot night. I didn’t get home until 8 p.m. Brandon was nursing a stress/sinus headache when I got home so we just went to bed. Wednesday was yoga night. Brandon finally was available to go...
