Menu Plan Monday
- Monday – Pesto Tortellini (Trader Joe’s refrigerated, was in the freezer), green salad.
- Tuesday – Chicken and Rice; Grilled chicken, rice made in the rice cooker, and whatever vegetable we have. Might try making the pea pods again, steaming them on top of the rice.
- Wednesday – Breakfast for Dinner; French toast with the leftover homemade Challah bread I have in the freezer. Probably scrambled eggs, not sure what else.
- Thursday – Chicken Caesar Salad; Leftover grilled chicken, romaine, spinach, Caesar dressing, etc. Serve with garlic toast.

Song Game
Got this from bubblyrory.
Step 1: Put your music player on shuffle.
Step 2: Post the first line from the first 40 21 songs that play, no matter how embarrassing.
Step 3: Strike through the songs when someone guesses both artist and track correctly.
Step 4: For those who are guessing – looking the lyrics up on a search engine is CHEATING!
Step 5: If you like the game post your own.
As a bonus, I’ll upload the song if someone guesses it. Some are super easy, and there are some probably no one but me has heard of.

Christmas Music Meme!
? CHRISTMAS MUSIC SHARING MEME ?
‘Tis the season to be jolly, fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la!
Are You More…
01) One who will buy twice as much discount beer/wine/liquor or one who will buy half as much premium beer/wine/liquor? I suppose I would buy half as much premium (note: I am applying this principal to chocolate)
02) A fan of self-help books or a person who thinks most of the self-help industry is based on scamming? most self-help books are fairly lame
03) A meeting lover or a meeting hater? well, they’re not my favorite thing ever
04) Hockey or soccer? what’s not to hate? one is thrust upon children at a young age, one involves ice. I like the mighty ducks movies, though. That’s really the only point in having hockey.
05) Basketball or football? fairly equally unpleasant. both are cause for “school spirit”, but I suppose I’d have to say that football is worse.
06) Baseball or golf? there’s an interesting one. golf is quiter… but baseball makes the best sports-related movies. I mean, who doesn’t love The Sandlot?
07) Golf driving range or batting cage? both sound fear-inducing. I suppose the cage aspect would make the balls more contained, though
08) Potentially disapproving of a person’s lifestyle or potentially disapproving of a person’s attitude? lifestyle. I’m a bit more outspoken there I would think.
09) The funniest among your immediate family or the craftiest? probably more like funniest
10) Apt to disbelieve a politician until they prove themselves truthful or apt to believe a politician until they prove themselves untruthful? I’m pretty trusting I guess

So that’s where I’d go.

You Know You’re From LA When… |
|
You’re driving on the 101 and see a clear cut definition of where the smog begins and ends You go to a karaoke bar and battle with seven year old divas-in-training who are trying to steal your thunder You’re sitting in traffic for at least an hour at any given part of the day You go to the beach and see that real lifeguards actually do look like the lifeguards from Baywatch You begin to “lie” to your friends about where you are (i.e. “Yeah I’m like 20 minutes away”) – when you know that it’ll take you at least an hour to get there). You eat a different ethnic food for every meal You mourned for Tupac and not for Biggie You know it’s best not to be on the 405 at 4:05 pm. Getting anywhere from point A to point B, no matter what the distance, takes about “twenty minutes”. You know what neighborhood someone lives in by the degree of damage incurred during the riots. You’ve inadvertently learned Spanish. You’ve got to bring the cat/plants in when it drops to 55 degrees. In the “winter”, you can go to the beach and ski at Big Bear on the same day. You’ve bumped into a celebrity at El Pollo Loco. You know what “sigalert”, “PCH”, and “the five” mean. Your pizza delivery guy is also on contract with Warner Bros. If your destination is more than 5 minutes away on foot, you’re definitely driving. You have a gym membership because it’s mandatory. Your TV show is interrupted by a police chase. You can’t fall asleep without the lull of a helicopter flying overhead. When tourists ask where they can get souvenirs, you direct them to Venice Beach. You know someone named Freedom, Rainbow, Persephone or Destiny. You’ve trespassed through private property to get to the “Hollywood” sign. You’ve partied in Tijuana at least once. You know Hollywood has a “lake”. You don’t stop at a STOP sign, you do a California Roll. You’ve lost your car in the Century City Shopping Center parking lot. You’ve ever bought oranges, flowers, cherries or peanuts on a freeway off-ramp. You think that Venice is a beach. You drive next to a Rolls Royce and don’t notice. You’ve started crossing a street and returned to the curb when the DON’T WALK sign started flashing. You’ve never listened to NPR. Calling your neighbors requires knowing their area code. You have a favorite Thai restaurant. You think Johnnny Rocket’s is an accurate depiction of a diner. You think Manhattan is a beach. You eat pineapple on pizza. You’ve been to Disneyland more times than Downtown. When giving directions , you follow up with the phrase: “With/Without traffic.” You classify new people you meet by their Area Code. An “818″ would never date a “562″ and anyone from “323″ or “213″ is ghetto/second class. Best area code: “310.” Driving along, you see a high-speed police chase approaching in your rear view mirror. You don’t panic or even flinch. Instead, you call your friends on your car phone and tell them you’re on TV. You know that if you drive two miles in any direction you will find a McDonald’s or a Starbucks. Your cell phone has left a permanant impression on the side of your head. You never, ever go into the water at the Beach. You barely touch the sand. Everyone you know has 3+ phone numbers. Home, Office, mobile, pager, two-way, voicemail….. It is not unusual for your waitress at a restaurant to have blue streaked hair, a dragon tattoo and tounge piercing. You are awakened in the middle of the night by a moderate earthquake. Your reply: “That ain’t even a 5-pointer” and go back to sleep. You think you are better than the people who live “Over the Hill”. It don’t matter which side of the hill you are currently residing, you are just better than them, for whatever reason. You live 10 miles from work. It takes you 60 minutes to get home. Walking out of Jamba Juice, you see that a movie is being shot on-location across the street. You are not happy, or even slightly exited that there may be a movie star there. You just say, ” They better not be blocking my parking space.” You have to yell at your bank teller through a 2 inch thick wall of plexi-glass. That last one goes for your local convienience store man, too. You go to Las Vegas for a weekend getaway and the whole trip cost you $50. You personally know at least 5 people with agents. You personally know at least 3 people who have been in a movie or TV show. You know what In N Out is and feel bad for all the other states because they don’t have any. You know that not everyone in Beverly Hills is a millionaire. You know who the tinsel underwear dude in Venice Beach is. You’ve done something on a street corner in an attempt to get money (i.e. sang, tap danced, told jokes). You’ve gotten parking tickets from parking in the red zone in front of your house. You say you live in LA when really you live in a subsection of a subsection of a subsection of southern LA. Any major movie star is picking out the best portobello mushrooms next to you at the grocers and you don’t notice. The guy at 8:30 in the morning at Starbucks wearing the baseball cap and sunglasses who looks like George Clooney IS George Clooney. You really can never be too rich or too thin. The gym is packed at 3pm…on a workday. The workday starts at 10am…or whenever you get out of your therapy session. Any invitation comes with, “Starts at 8pm or as soon as you can get through traffic.” You have never met a waiter that wasn’t really an “Actor.” You never go to a coffee house without a copy of a script – any script. It’s sprinkling and there’s a report on every news station about “STORM WATCH ’05″ You call 911 and they put you on hold. You have to leave the big company meeting early because Billy Blanks himself is teaching the 4:30 tae-bo class. The three hour traffic jam you just sat through wasn’t caused by a horrific 9 car pile-up, but by everyone slowing to rubberneck at a lost shoe lying on the shoulder. A nurse can look at you in all seriousness and ask, “you don’t drink or smoke, right?” All the “cool gyms” allow pedestrians on the street a full-view of those working out. Literally, you can’t drive by Wilshire without staring into L.A. Fitness. Perhaps a new form of window shopping? The hot seasonal party favor is a candied apple from Neiman’s. The apples are called “Skinny Dippers.” The waitress asks if you’d like “carbs” in your meal. Bars card. For real. You actually get these jokes and pass them on to other friends from Los Angeles. |

What were you like in high school? Name one thing you miss and one thing you don’t miss about those days. (If you’re still there, imagine how you’ll remember it in the future.) I was voted “Most Unique” in high school. I was in theatre; an Honor member of our Thespian troupe, played ComedySportz, I did the theatre department’s website. We did 4-5 shows a year and went to all kinds of theatre festivals. I spent basically all my time in the theater. I was in Choir too. I Went to Sacramento for California Youth in Theatre Day two years in a row, I tested for LAMDA and recieved bronze and silver medals for acting distinction. I pretty much ignored everything else. That is what I miss about high school. I loved my teacher and the great department we had. She retired two years after I graduated. What I don’t miss is pretty much everything else. I didn’t like having to walk through the masses of people between classes. I pretty much didn’t know anyone who wasn’t in theatre, but the startling thing is that they all seemed to know me. That can get confusing when you can’t figure out how someone knows you.

11. can you tell I’m fakin it? but I wanna be myself.

14. the colors have built up in my mind, they’re bleeding through my heart
