Back and ready to rumble!!!



Another new beginning.

Hey buddies, pals and non-pals =)

I have been MIA the last week or so due to an early week excursion to Las Vegas - which I don't necessarily recommend. Las Vegas. Viva Las Vegas. Sin City. Man, oh man. Vegas will rob you while smiling and waving good bye on the way out. Not that I'm a gambler by any means. I'm referring to the mere act of eating. By eating I mean, buying a muffin and a juice. Unless you have limitless moula in your bank account - there are better places to go then Vegas, that won't leave you feeling like you were just hit by a bus. I experienced it to the fullest and that's all I need in this lifetime.

In other news! I was out in Larchmont Village yesterday with my Daddio, when I came across a little ad posted on a bulletin in the local Starbucks. It was for a one-bedroom guesthouse within walking distance from Larchmont (which is this adorable little street lined with cafes, shops, restaurants, and on Sundays, a great farmer's market). I thought it would be fun to drop by and check it out, so we did. I took Phil back there this morning and he loved it. It is very possible we will be moving in the next week. We'll have to see how it all comes together. I will miss our little studio though =( I have also passed (with flying colors!) my serving exam and certification! I am now a full fledged server at The Cheesecake Factory. Believe me, this is no easy task. I don't know if I've ever studied so hard in my life! Phil and I are excited to start a new chapter in our life here in LA. Change is needed and I'm filled with joy that it is finally manifesting in many forms. I will be posting a post - that sounds funny - in the near future about a fantabulous documentary we just watched by comedian Bill Maher called Religulous. Uh-mazing!!! If you take yourself too seriously, don't bother reading it...

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 *
