At bible study we ended up talking about Lent and what we would give up for forty days.
For a while now I’ve been buying those hostess pies.. not ACTUAL hostess, but the off-brand kind. Well anyway, they are terrible for you to eat (but oh so tempting) so I’m giving them up.
It may seem like a little thing, but it will be quite the challenge to avoid getting those (especially when they are on Manager’s Special and only 20-30 cents a piece.
Wow. What a weekend.
On Friday Robin and I went to Panda Express and talked. They had the tastiest steamed vegetables!! It was crazy delicious. Then we had some tea and played Scrabble, and scored a Z (10pts) on a triple letter.. it was ridiculous. I totally lost that game.
Saturday – I woke up @ 8 and had to take a bus to Alhambra. I almost missed the bus entirely, but fortune shined on me and I made it! Woo!
We taped a few episodes and it was a total blast! I rediscovered how terrible I am at memorizing lines in a short amount of time.. I’ll have to devise a method to practice this.
Dan gave me a lift to the blue house, and I hung out there for an hour until the Mosaic film night began. We watched DARK KNIGHT. I really like the conversation after the work, we talked about the ideas and plot lines.. it was pretty neat to see how other people pick up on certain things.
We got to the PROM going away party at 11pm and danced for several hours. It was great.. but-
Where are all the group dances? I remember doing all sorts of group things in early college and such.. like the Macarena, the train, electric slide, & Thriller. We tried doing some of these, but a lot of people gave us the stink eye! = ( Boo on them!
I took lots of pictures and posted them on Facebook.. I LOVE how easy it is now to share pictures. I just wish there was a way for people to ‘un-tag’ themselves, but still leave who it is.. Sometimes people don’t like the way their picture turned out, but it is nice to have a list of who’s who in a particular shot.

Now I’m at work, waiting for the second half of my workday to begin.. at 7pm. Then I’ll have to metro it on home and the arduous workweek begins once-more, Curses!
If I wasn’t so tired I’d probably go get something to eat.. and if I wasn’t so hungry I’d probably nap! = ) Oh well, I really should try to write some more. The Talkie Day sketches got my mind-wheels turning.
On Wednesday Robin and I went to dinner- McCormick & Schmick’s, a fancy seafood restaurant. It was rockin! I haven’t been to Beverly Hills very often, and it was fun to stroll around for a bit (although I was shivering in the cold).
Last month I flew on Alaska Airlines and they had handed out gift certificates to everyone aboard- $20.
According to their website the proper attire is “Smart Casual”. Which made me realize that I need to get new clothes as I don’t really have many nice clothes. I ended up wearing a short-sleeve shirt with a regular t undershirt.
When the meal came of course it was small, but PACKED with flavor. It was pretty neat how you can take your time and really enjoy a meal with someone.. which I need to do more.
On Tuesday our Monkey Butler small group had a dinner/bible study. It was such a great experience to be around people you admire and talk about things and share what is going on in your life with others. = )
Anyway, I was going to post this yesterday, but I forgot.
Randy sent me a link to this short film. I love the message and I hope to make something just as powerful to watch.
I turned it on today and thought..
Hmm, I wonder how a large black leaf got stuck on the screen…
Then realized that the glass and LCD broke. = ( So much for using to take and share pictures!! = ( So sad yo.
I guess that is the danger of the larger lcd screen.. it is in direct proportion to the fragility of the device.
At least it is still working…..
for now.
I know that I can copy a list of folders or files in finder and then paste them into a text only TEXTEDIT doc, or apparently as “Paste and Match Style” in Pages.
However, I want to be able to have a list of my folders and what I intend to keep in them. I’m wasting a lot of time trying to find what I’m looking for on my computer. There are so many programs and tools to write things I frequently misplace them.
Hmm. Someone must have a program out there that puts files in an outline and drop-down type of list.. if not someone should create it.
I’ve spent most of today catching up on various media.. I watched the latest episodes of Smallville and caught up on Homestarrunner.com, and I just finished the Office.
I’m sick of ‘watching’ though. I want to do my own stuff, but I find it hard to allocate time to write and then follow through with it. I’m usually hit with the writing bug when I don’t have the time.. but isn’t that always the case.
I gave up reading digg.com a while ago because it kept draining my time. Now today is mostly over and I’ve accomplished only a couple things.. (darn nap!)
Now it is time to write I suppose. I want to create rather than consume.
I just realized today that I had left something in my car. The parking garage pass for the parking structure.
Now I have to pay $20.
Ugh.
Today is my little sister’s birthday.. and I called her on her birthday! I’ve been meaning to do that with my siblings for a long time, but I’d remember super early in the day and forget as the day went on.
“Are you excited for your birthday”
“Yeah… Everyone likes birthdays at my school because you get to bring treats. Everyone likes food.”
Yeah. She’s 9. Such a funny little girl.
I’m going to try to treat this month as an experiment.. How can I have a social life without a car in Los Angeles? It took me four hours yesterday to ride the bus to and from where I needed to go..
More on that later.
