- I added another male blogger and Harrel feels threatened. His picture, along with maybe some new pictures of us coming soon. I’ll probably also change some colors around too. SEE YA PURPLE POST HEADER!
- I haven’t written about Chili in a long time. Click here to see her at the prime age of 6 months. AW.
I want this to come to Chicago. Summer Saturday movie screenings in a cemetery? PERFECT. I was lucky enough to see “A Clockwork Orange” at Los Angeles’ Forever Hollywood Cemetery with bottle of Grey Goose in hand. At first the concept of walking through gravestones & mini-mausoleums creeped me out, but once we got on the hill and saw the actual film projected on a mega-size screen aka mausoleum wall, I was in. Check out this place if you are ever in town, its well worth the $10 and the contact-high. More info HERE. Also, check out people’s FLICKR’S for the steez.
Here it goes: my brief-yet humbling/humiliating spot in the limelight with everyone’s favorite bobble head, Jay Leno. Walking down Melrose after shopping and carrying a brown bag en-route to my friend’s 459 1/2 apartment, Jay’s hounds were quick to ask my friend Sam & I if we wanted to interview on current events. Instantly, I agreed, just for story sake, I figured it’d be hilarious and memorable anyway. So I approach Jay, shake his hand, introduce myself, and then the blitzkrieg of questions began:
1. Who is running for president of the U.S? Correctly answered
2. When is the presidential election? Correctly answered
3. Where are the Democratic/Republican conventions held at? Partially answered correctly
4. Who is Ralph Nader? 1/4th answered correctly
5. Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac? Now, I believe In terms of this question, I answered HALF-way right, because I went on a rant about Fannie MAY chocolate (and I didn’t know who Freddie Mac is), don’t even ASK!
6. ”69% of people when asked on the spot who the VP of the US is could not answer”- Now, I have Leno holding a MIC in my face, with 5 people staring at me and a camera, so instead of racking my brain and getting all “err” I cooly say (cooly, as in, 69% is a HUGE percentage), “Well, Jay, I suppose for the time being I belong in that 69%.”
7. Who is Nancy Pelosi? MY BIG FAIL. I confused her with that IL politician that did something shady aka embezzle, so I gave the only answer I could come up with and was VERY, VERY wrong.
8. Who is Dick Cheney- I first go “A fat Republican! He’s In office! He’s the Vice-President!!”
9. When does the new President take place? I responded with “After the Initiation, meaning INAUGURATION”- Unfortunately they didn’t air after when Jay asks, “So they beat him with a paddle, like in a frat?” and I respond with, “No, I’m pretty sure they beat him in, as if he was in an East L.A.-type gang.”
You can peep the segment HERE, (select 6/23, Chapter ‘Jaywalking’) rambling about Nancy Pelosi. All I can say, in my saving grace, is that Jay Leno told me I was funny, but probably because I didn’t care that I was laughing at myself, my stupidity, ect ect ect.
I heard that this girl is the biggest Joy Division fan ever..Alicia, how do you feel about that?
I won’t name names. (For more, click here.)
Alright Walter Mercado, you win. I will phone, text, AIM, or Email a man and let him know that I think he’s great…because horoscopes run my life.

Sagittarius (Nov 22 – Dec 21)
You may be afraid to open your heart today because you are reminded of an old relationship wound. But don’t take the course of least resistance by putting up walls to protect your vulnerability. If you do, you’ll only increase your loneliness and feed the hurtful memories. Instead, muster up enough courage to come out and say exactly how you feel to someone you trust.
I caught “Dark Knight” last night at the Navy Pier IMAX theatre and had several tiny heart attacks during the close to 3 hour film. I’m not the biggest movie fan in general, I hate sitting still, I like to do 328408 things at once, I have slight A.D.D. etc, but I was in shock and awe the entire time. I think I might have almost peed my pants a few times too (from being scared, not from the liter bottle of water I drank). Anyway, RIP HEATH and HI, I’m currently finding tickets for a second time around so I can bask in the magical-ness that is Christian Bale magnified times a million. Don’t ask me to go a regular theatre, I’m too good for that, BYE.
