"I feel the earth move under my feet..."

Today I experienced my first earthquake! It was quick, but scary. I really didn't know it was an earthquake until 7 seconds in. As fate would have it, my whole team was away and I was all by myself. I scrambled to find someone on the other side of the floor who had some insight on what was going on. By the time I got to a "safe" place it was over. I immediately rushed to the phone. Of course, everyone else had the same idea and because of this the phone lines were down for a good 15-20 minutes. Twenty minutes later, I got through to Myke and my parents. Myke explained he had been driving and didn't feel a thing (he's very disappointed about this for some reason).

When we got home we noticed some pictures and books had fallen. Our cat is on high alert as the earthquake scared the shit out of her!

I really hope this is the biggest earthquake I'll be present for. It scares me that the earth is moving so frequently. Let's just hope that California doesn't sink during the next earthquake!

"The economy's drunk"

When Myke first mentioned that The Flight of the Conchords were playing at the Largo, I immediately got excited. We put our names in and then two seconds later the show was sold out. Thankfully, we got tickets in time. Initially I thought this was an all Flight concert, but was later told that they were only one of the acts (Jon Brion ended up being the opener). A comedian by the name of Greg Proops was the main act He was incredibly witty and smart. I loved his stand up routine! After his act was through, he turned the stage over to Flight. Brett and Jemaine were oh so charming. I thought it was interesting that Jemaine pretty much stayed in character, but Brett was laughing and smiling the whole time (see picture as reference). As far as songs go, they started with a song I never heard about ex-girlfriends. Jemaine messed up half way in, but later finished the song at the end of the set (side note: Myke and I aren't sure if this was intentional or not). The only song I recognized was "the humans are dead", but that didn't take away from the night. At the end of the show, Jon Brion, Brett and Jemaine sang a little song together. It was funny to see their reaction to Jon Brion. It's very clear that he is a talented guy. All in all, I very much enjoyed the show last night. I only wish that they extended it until the wee hours of the morning (Oh and I also wish they would've let us take pictures). One more thing...Jemaine is a lot skinnier than on the show. I guess the camera does add 20 lbs!

"Thank you for being a friend..."

We will miss you, Sophia!

"With my freeze ray, I will stop the world..."

Where has Dr. Horrible been all my life!  I would put the link up on my blog, but unfortunately the link has expired.  I urge you to go on itunes and download "Dr. Horrible's Sing Along Blog"!!

It's awesome!!  I love the songs! 

I am itching to go on a trip right now.  I know I have many trips in the works (i.e. GA, San Luis Obispo, San Francisco, etc...), but I really want to go somewhere right now.  I think it's the Golden gene!  

Note: I suck at this no/low protein diet!  I am no good at eating just fruits and veggies.  Hopefully, this diet will only last another week.

Even better!

I thought my bad week was over, but I guess I was wrong.  I went to the Doctor today and he told me I have high blood pressure and possible Gallbladder issues.  Grreeatt!!  I will be getting more tests done next week.  Wish me luck...

Hopefully, I will see Batman and Mama Mia this weekend.  Of course, if there are long lines, I'll wait until next weekend.

Doesn't want to know!

I'm having a strange week!  My stomach is in knots and my head hurts.  I think I'm just stressed.

I seriously need to go to a spa!  

I'm not sure if I shared, but Myke and I bought a new LCD flat screen TV.  It's really nice and I like it a lot.  I also want to point out that we got a 40% discount (thank you, Zarmehr)!  

Now it's time to zone out and watch another episode of "Law and Order."

Attack of the killer turkey bacon!

Myke and I both had today off!  We woke up, ate turkey bacon (which isn't agreeing with Myke's stomach), took a nap, ate lunch and went grocery shopping.  Boring but nice!  

While Myke is out seeing Jon Brion for the millionth time, I will be hanging out with Hilary at a Chinese restaurant.  

Liana is in town (by in town, I mean Pasadena) this weekend so we'll probably meet up with her tomorrow.  

P.S. Hancock is a dumb movie! Wait until it comes out on dvd.

Fireworks a la mode

We celebrated July 4th with our friends Laird and Harrison and their baby, Oliver.  We all headed to Newport Beach where we watched 3 different firework displays.  It seems as though fireworks have become way more elaborate in the 21st century.  While we were walking to our car, we noticed a drunk woman walking with her husband and teenage daughter.  I would be so embarrased if I was the woman.  I can't believe someone would allow themselves to get drunk in front of their kids.  Stupid people!  

On a happier note...here are some pics from our evening:
