I heart the internet!!!

Could I be addicted to the internet?

I know that tons and tons of people are addicted to the internet, but I really didn't want to be one of them. It can be such a time sucker! But I. love. it. I've been looking to purchase my own digital camera because the one Phil and I bought a couple years ago has had cranberry juice spilt on it (my doing) and the battery only lasts 10 minutes. I know the proper solution to this would be to have it professionally cleaned and to buy a new battery but since I can't figure out how to work it anyway I think I'll get a fool proof one. Probably a hot pink fool proof one. Here are some pics from my 22nd birthday that are from a disposable camera - the quality just blows me away. So clear and full of color...uhm...

Here are some of the people I love here in La-La Land.

I am cleaning our apartment from head to toe. Gutting it. Organizing it. Beautifying it. Then I will take pictures of it to remember what it looks like when it's just the way I like it. My friend Mallory and I are going to try to catch a Demetri Martin (comedian) show tomorrow night at the Upright Citizens Brigade theatre and then most likely end up at Birds - an adorable, quirky little bar in Los Feliz. For those of you who don't know - tomorrow is Michael Jackson's memorial at The Staples Center downtown LA. They could be expecting up to 700,000 fans flooding the streets of downtown to pay their respects. 

RIP Mr. Michael Jackson - your talent and genius was truly a gift to this world.

Hollywood baby...

Hollywood. What else would you expect?

Wow. I had a wonderful birthday! About half of the crew started off at H.Wood, located behind the Kodak Theater off of good ol' Hollywood Blvd. until 10 o'clock rolled around and the door got obnoxiously "tight" for zero reason. Even being on a guestlist didn't permit the rest of my friends to enter the wooden gate of pretentiousness. I should have known, I really went out on a limb going to a place called H.Wood located in Hollywood...but I had heard great things so I wanted to give it a fighting chance. So, me being me, I grabbed my peeps and headed else where.

"Oh I'm sorry, you don't want the money we're about to spend here? Not a problem. Ciao."

I don't play that game. We ended up at a great little spot on Cahuenga called The Room, with a great DJ, places to sit (yes, I said SIT and we didn't spend a dime on bottle service) and a really great vibe. No cover, no pretentiousness, no hollywoodness. I highly recommend it for those living in LA. I must say, I was impressed by the amount of friends that came out. LA being known for raising flakes - everyone came through...for the most part :) The following day I spent in Santa Monica, where the sun peeped through for a couple hours (still in June Gloom at this point) with my dad and Philip. We ate at Barney's Beanery, then went back home for grocery store bought birthday cake and ended the evening off with seeing The Hangover. Believe what everyone is saying about it. It's flippin hilarious. Speaking of Vegas - I'm headed there for yet another quickie Monday night with some people from The Cheese. A little mini vacay before the summer of "work you're butt off" gets rolling.

Unfortunately Miss Heather Sklar forgot her camera so on the way to The Room (oh ps. we walked the 5 blocks along the thick of Hollywood Blvd...all girls in heels. Ouch.) she stumbled into some store and grabbed a disposable. I'll post them when I get them developed. Ha. Developed... haven't said that in a while.

Stay tuned...

* Today is Phil's Birthday! Happy 24th Birthday Philip!!!! xoxox *
