Certain things happen at the same time every year. Like daffodils blooming, or finding mouse droppings in your kitchen. Or minding your own business when another motorist plows into your car. I was on my way home from work yesterday when I noticed the cars in the left lane on I-5 slowing. Slowing a lot.Continue reading “Smash”

Trapped at my house with my two best friends
Seems like lots of people already are having cabin fever thanks to Snowpocalypse 2012: Pacific Northwest. Not me. Remember, I spent two straight weeks in a chair without going farther than 20 steps out the back door. We had Christmas lights on the front of the house for more than a week before I evenContinue reading “Trapped at my house with my two best friends”
What do I have to be anxious about?
I had an anxiety dream two nights in a row where I was late to the airport. In one dream, Kris Jenner was supposed to pick me and my dad up and drive us. She was late. I hope by including “Kris Jenner” in this post it will boost traffic to my blog. Khloe KardashianContinue reading “What do I have to be anxious about?”
A love letter to Rob and Disneyland
Rob loves Disneyland. I grew up in L.A., so Disneyland always has been as familiar to me as the county fair. We discovered Disney’s California Adventure, the theme park next door, on our first visit to Los Angeles together. Since then, we’ve been to the pair of parks in Anaheim a bunch of times andContinue reading “A love letter to Rob and Disneyland”
Spider-Man’s Balls
Here’s where my blog gets all edgy and PG-13. A few years ago, during a visit to my hometown of Los Angeles, we made a couple of laps around the Hollywood Walk of Fame. It’s one of Rob’s favorite pastimes. A dude in a cheapie Spider-Man outfit was crouched on a trash can, facing theContinue reading “Spider-Man’s Balls”
Don’t cry for me, Ipanema
A few months ago, we were watching an episode of the International Sexy Ladies Show (yes we were). This stimulated a discussion about wanting to go to Brazil. I went into full trip-planning mode. February tends to be a glum time for me, so we should go then. Oh, except I’m signed up for aContinue reading “Don’t cry for me, Ipanema”
These streets will make you feel brand new
I’ve been to New York at least 10 times in my life, but Rob had never been. I hadn’t done any of the “touristy” stuff since my first couple of visits, but I was happy to do it all again with Rob. We bought $79 City Passes, which included entrance to the Met, the NaturalContinue reading “These streets will make you feel brand new”
Winter Games
Who knew I was so into the Olympics? Maybe I’m just kinda jazzed about it because I live about 25 minutes from British Columbia. I’ve always liked figure skating, which should come as no surprise, as it’s an awful lot like dance. I remember watching the figure skating during the 1994 Winter Games in Lillehammer.Continue reading “Winter Games”
Vietnam, you don’t give answers do you, friend
It was an entire year after India before I even felt like traveling. I also felt guilty about taking that much time off, so I didn’t take a single vacation day for an entire year. (I get plenty of holidays, and my schedule is pretty relaxed, so this wasn’t a huge hardship.) When I heardContinue reading “Vietnam, you don’t give answers do you, friend”
Aren’t you going out tonight?
I felt a real kinship with Andy Dick when he moved into the Celebrity Rehab Sober House. It dates back to when I was in college. I didn’t drink so I didn’t enjoy hitting the frat parties or using my fake ID at a bar. I did like sitting around the dorms and hanging outContinue reading “Aren’t you going out tonight?”
