That was so 2009

2009 in pictures * 2009 Awards Drinking Buddy of the Year: Brandon, actually. Surprise!  The mister doesn’t usually party down, but he has taken up a beer here and there this past year, a stressful one for his work.  So we had gone out for a beer together more than the year before.  Cheers to you, honey bunny! Bar of the Year: Hennessey’s Tavern and Beachwood BBQ in Seal Beach. These two places never fail to deliver cold pints and some great eats.  They’re our go-to places when we want to run away from the daily life for a little...

Sunday Glorious Sunday

Halloween night? Massive fun. My team of Thrill the World LA and OC kicked ass at Halloween on Pine. We literally rocked the stage. I mean, the fucking thing was swaying with our every moves! Not once, but TWICE! It was complete and total rockage. Brandon was a complete trooper, escorting me up and down the street and once again played photographer and roadie to our rag tag team of zombies. Obviously, I barely watched USC…and even more obviously, I had a bra on. Sorry, team. My bad. Moo. Moo… Sunday came easily. First Sunday with zero schedule. No Thriller....

It’s in the coffin

Oh hell yes.2,300 or so on paper but it felt/looked like 6,000 out there in the plaza!  Brandon shot over 700 pictures and I had another 200.  (What a trooper he is, braving the Blue Line and all!) Worldwide, last counted, 23,000 people. What a moment.  What an adventure! You can’t see me in this clip though they did close up on me for the “Coming up next” before this section. Life is slowly getting back to normal.  I have to lead my little Long Beach team to perform on Halloween at Halloween on Pine and that’s it for Thriller...

Enjoy the little things

Zombieland. Who knew that movie would give you some great life lessons.  Well, you know, aside of the Zombieland Survival Rules. Enjoy the little things, Talahassee said. My life has been kind of a whirlwind these past few months.  There are many little things I totally appreciate and enjoy. Like a bouquet of flowers Brandon bought for me. Very unexpected. Like getting a ride home from a bus buddy who drove in in the morning. Like getting my Italian homework explained to me by the Italian Coworker. Like watching Dresden react to “big people’s food” we offer him.  On Tuesday,...

Learning Curve

see more Lolcats and funny pictures On Friday night, I was out at L.A. Live with 6 other Thrill the World zombies, entertaining the crowd waiting for Michael Jackson’s This Is It tickets. We performed once and we taught the dance for another 1.5 hour.  And mind you, this is just folks hanging around LA Live here, nobody’s a professional. If we were given another half hour, we could’ve taught them the whole thing.  But with the time we had, we were just a few moves away from completion. People were having fun. They were putting in efforts to do...
