GOT ROBOTS?

Chace is now my hubbys new 'robot' crew (if you can call 2 people a crew) with his friend Ace. Get it Chadd + ACE = Chace. We are wildly creative people as you can tell. They've been just itching to preform and fuckster as we like to say. Fuckstering basically consists of going to a public place, getting down robot style and messing with people. Costumes and recording are a must.
S they convinced me to come and be camera women extroidinaire so we tagged along to this event with Aces friend Audrey. It was actually quite cool and totally up my alley. It was for bloggers and was being held at MILK which is this cute cafe that's on beverly just east of fairfax that serves ice cream, treats and some basic food.
The clip will be on Youtube soon but to give you the idea of what went down here's a pic for now of the guys:


So although this is not a food blog I do have to say WOW, they had some seriously amazing goodies. This is a good place to go to for a casual lite lunch followed by heavy desserts.

The people there really enjoyed and embraced the robot which was nice because you never know how a business will respond to you just taking over and recording in their establishment. I think what we realized is, EVERYONE LOVES THE ROBOT. DO YOU?

"go find Emma and tell her she sucks..."

"and give yourself a star or something Joshua."
This is what i just said to the customer service rep at Amazon. This company is now slightly on my shit list. Mostly because I'm Jewish and partly because they are sneaky and slid some $79 charge through on my bank account. BUT I caught it and called them and then EMMA sucked and didn't cancel the charge 8 days ago like she said she would (again, you suck Emma). So I called today and Joshua was all, well no one had corrected that charge yet so let me just do that quickly for you now. WTF? Why do these customer service people do that? It's not like she was going to profit from the $79 that amazon gets so what's in it for her besides laziness. And while I'm on it, $79 is a steep ass charge for some 'club' that gets you free shipping for a year. I mean really, how much does it cost to ship a book or CD?

girls gotta have her gays...

I spent the day recouping from having people over. Jenn left this morning and so did Erik who spent the night last night as well. Then i ate entirely too much pasta for one girl. Then i hung with my gays for a bit. Now after writing cards and reading mags i'm hunkering down with my kitties and watching cast away. This movie gets me. Tom Hanks is one of the best actors and so much of this movie is just him grunting and yelling and bleeding. At least he's a billionaire and can clean up real nice after a movie like this where i'm sure he basically starved himself for months to get that starved look.
Chadds at Ellen Degeneres birthday party doing a dance performance. Hope it goes well and they play a clip on her show at least.

hip hop update

Took class tuesday night. It was sooo gay but fun. As Chadd would say, there was a lot of chicken wingin.
I would go back tonight but Jenn is going to be here and we will probably be chilling and catching up on the 3 yrs since we've seen eachother last.
I feel rich in friends right now. Just had lunch with Elise who's one of my first friends from LA and we dined at Le Conversation. The soup was lame but the salad and company were great!

current sick obsession

I know i'm not the only one drawn to negative shows like snapped and intervention. Those snapped ladies, who go crazy and kill their husband. They all think they've covered their tracks and its like really? Did you really think it wasn't gonna be found out that you were sleeping around with the other sunday school leader and embezzling from the church? really? God much have taught you all the act of ignorance and foolishness because your new life in prison without your children will most likely neither be blissful or godly. But I digress, my real obsession these days or since april 28th is that of Elisabeth Frizl. They girl (now women) from Austria who was held in an underground cellar for 24 yrs by her insesstuas father who kept her as his 'mistress' and fathered 7 kids with her. 7 kids! 24 yrs! it's too awful to comprehend although i've tried. I was 6 yrs old the last time she saw the light of day and now 24 yrs later at 42 she is free although she is now the mother of her fathers children. I hope she can comeback somehow from this. I feel so deeply for this women half way around the globe and so murderously for her vile father. It turns my stomach and my imagination is in full force trying to conceive of her life day in and day out. Just awful. Even though my life has not been always blessed I feel grateful. Just to be free, to have choice, to go to work and on a walk. To not be a prisoner to anyone but my own self and to be my own shining star.
Good luck Elisabeth. My heart goes out to you and your family. I hope peace and acceptance lie somewhere in your future.

ONLY WEDNESDAY

saturdays really my only happy day of the week. There's a dark cloud hanging over sunday and it's not because I don't like work. I truthfully don't mind work. Its the hours and repetitiveness of work that gets me. 5 days in the row of waking up at 8am is a drag. I wouldn't choose to sleep in late if I didn't work, I would sleep differently. Better in fact if I knew that alarm wasn't going to yell at me. I'd prefer to wake up to the insessint meows of Coco demading to be fed and Charli walking across us looking for a hand to pet her.
There's no hump in my day thats for sure.

its my part time job

Drinks between the hours of 2-3pm at the Palm monday - friday with boss and sometimes Exec- prod (I must protect thier privacy HA). Carlos is the bartender of choice whereas my drink of choice (d.o.c. = doc, like medicine) fluctuates between Champagne, vodka tonic, Lemondrop, Arnold Palmer if I decide not to partake in libations and todays was uber yummy: a margharita rocks NO SALT with a splash of Chambord so basically its a purple margharita.
Unfortunately for this foodie theres usually on drinks sometimes an extra olive or some flat bread but none of the steak or lobster that the Palm is so well no for. Boo hoo for me.
I usually only have one drink because 2 would basically have me going home drunk to pass out at 5 therefore forgoing all of my good intentions for the evening. Tonight, I plan on hitting up 'Hip hop' at 24 hr fitness. It'll technically be my first class and i hope its not lead by some ubergay who can't get down because I will walk out I swear. I'm deliberating over going thug out in maybe some gangsta sweats and a bandana or should i blend in with the gays with some tight bicycle shorts and a thong leotard over. Only time will tell.
I must blog about Entourage shooting at work last week. Must be recorded for posterity, whatever that means.
