Social, Media and otherwise

April 1st, 2009 1 Comment

Hi there. I haven’t been home in the evening since Monday. And the trend is not stopping.  Sorry for the pauses in posting. Monday night I was at Face2Face: Elton John and Billy Joel concert.  I treated James, my fellow piano man, to this as his belated birthday and early Christmas presents.  We enjoyed ourselves tremendously.  Billy Joel rocked my socks off and Elton John wowed me silly.  I got a few horrible cell phone video clips I’ll post later.

Animal Planet

#1 first day in COW SCHOOL Found on Flickr by Wild*Dreams. We were watching a National Geographic documentary Stone Henge Decoded. There was a scene when the archeology team starts to dig around the outside of the Durrington Walls.   There was a shot of all these cows gathered by the fence, seemingly to gawk at the humans.  Kind of like this. “How cute!”  Suddenly, a thought occurred to me. “Look at all them lookymoos!” *** #2 Southern California finally

The Weary’s Quick Rest

March 18th, 2009 Comments Off

St. Patty’s was a hit both at work and at home.  A great turn out at the office with everything from cookies to green deviled eggs.  9 people showed up at my doors for the Guinness Stew and a little bit of drinking.  The old gang hung out well with my new friends from Tweet Up, Annette @dananner and Wyatt @phraktyl. A lesson we learned?  Don’t ever give Phraklet, Phraktyl’s son, a Mountain Dew. Ever. Again.  LOL. I didn’t drink

Holy Trinity Weekend

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

 As of 15:45 PST, 3960 people around the world danced to Thriller at 11 a.m. PST. That includes 114 of us Thrill the World Los Angeles at Hollywood & Highland this morning. More of Brandon’s fantastic photography here. And the pool is here. Did you see us on ABC 7 at 4:30 p.m.?  Oh yeah.  I got a full shimmying shot into the camera there.  Haha! Also on KTLA 5 for a blip, however I don’t know where that lady

Thank you Santa Monica

October 22nd, 2008 Comments Off

Dear The Good Citizens of Santa Monica: Not only your Virginia Park has the best and cleanest restrooms in all the parks I’ve ever visited, your people are the most honest, kindest of the bunch. Thank you, Nice Person, for returning my wallet to the police sub-station.  With all the stuff I put in my purse today for the Thrill the World LA meeting, I barely noticed that my wallet had fallen out as I pulled out my phone when

Madness descends

October 21st, 2008 Comments Off

On top of the Big Gala, I have taken on the role of the publicity machine for Thrill the World Los Angeles on my off hours. I’m doing pretty well, considering the first year of TTWLA and my involvement with the crew.  A good distraction from the Big Gala coming up. Instead of Big Gala nightmares, I have TTW anxiety.  A good preparation for the real thing, I guess. Ines, the creator of Thrill the World, is coming into town

Zombies attack Manhattan Beach

The Torrance Daily Breeze was there yesterday, featuring its very own resident and half of Thrill the World leader, Amanda. But look closely at Picture #1 and #4.  You see somebody familiar? Of course, after the practice, I got home and had to try on my make up. You like? So, mark your calendar for Saturday, October 25 at Hollywood & Highland Center.  The dance will start at 11 a.m. sharp and lasts only 5 minutes so I’d suggest that

South Coast and Kimchi

September 7th, 2008 1 Comment

You know you’re in Southern California when your breakfast is leftover lamb biryani and goat curry, your lunch is chopped salad and roasted tomato soup, and your dinner is pork belly over piles of kimchi at a Korean barbecue. Add some good friends into the mix, and what you have is one great Sunday. Well, except for the fact that Brandon is not here and the kimchi heartburn is creeping up. I had a lunch date with Nora at South
