What did I say about those chickens?

The Trojans escaped again last night from the grip of the Sun Devils. Gridiron Goddess said on her FB status: “thinks USC is TRYING to lose this game”. It sure looked like it. It seemed every time I blinked we would be 1st and 10. Blinked and it’s 3rd and long and there went the punt. Same thing coming back from Arizona State.  It started to resemble a tennis match. Our ball. Their ball. Our ball. Their ball. Oh hey, a score here and there. Actually, I watched quite a bit of in on Catalina Express on my way back...

Reality Check

USC’s last week loss to Oregon could be blamed on me. The Trojan superstition was in full swing on Halloween night. Hey, all a Princess Leia Zombie have on her were booty shorts and a bra. I surely cannot go without the bra! But then again, Bill Plaschke of the LA Times finally threw a big ass bucket of cold, hard reality at Uncle Pete and his Trojans this morning. What’s he’s saying here…and has been saying…is something I’ve been feeling since the start of this year. We have not been the Trojans we know. However, we have been doing...

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,...
