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...

When our beloved excuse themselves to disappear into their video games, we call that being a [insert game name here] Widow. For example, I was an World of Warcraft Widow, an EverQuest widow, and most recently a Fallen Earth and Fall Out Widow. Now, the table is being turned around. I’m making a widower out of Brandon for the next few months. As in, a Italian Class Widower… Nora and I are taking Italian lessons together in Irvine on Saturday mornings, starting this weekend on through January. A USC Football Widower… If you’ve read my blog long enough, you’d know...

My epic battle with time this week? I guess it’s a draw. I didn’t start on Monday morning as planned. Because, as you all have heard, we plan and God laughs. Or something like that. Last Sunday night, the night I wanted to go to bed by 10 to wake up at 5:15 and work on my stuff? I ended up going to bed closer to midnight and woke up the usual call time for morning with hair wash of 5:45. I was up peeling and scraping the piths off of 25 lemons to go into my first ever batch...

Friends, get ready for another long and slow season on the OakMonster blog. Thrill the World is here. And in full force. (Oh hey, register with our LA team here.) I’m involved in many different levels this time, a lot more than I signed up for this year. Well, you know, MJ went and died on us. That brought a lot more to the original “let’s take it easy this year” plan. I met with Amanda and Mahdroo and our new group of helpers last Wednesday. This year is going to be awesome! Friday was the second anniversary of my...

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...
