lusting in L.A.

For anyone who knows me well, I have a very passionate love for the city of Los Angeles. I am here right now, in the county in the San Gabriel Valley. But alas, poor my sorrow be, I shall depart tomorrow at the strike of noon.

More details of my stressful, but should have been blissful day, shall appear later. Perhaps on the morrow.

Why I am speaking like Bill Shakespeare right now, I have no idea. Sorry kids.

Anyhow, I am flying back to San Jose in the Silicon Valley tomorrow, and nothing makes me more sad. I hate to leave here, especially after only being here a day.

BUT...........................

What makes me happy is knowing my Dad is coming to visit me on Saturday!!! And yes, we will be truckin’ down to the L.B.C. (not on a mission to find Mr. Warren G) for a few days. Can we say beach and ocean?

Anyhow, the remains of my venting regarding my day from hell will come soon. Until then, you’ll just have to wait. I’m at the the step-grandparents house, and I need to spend a little family time with them :)

Back in the Bay

I had a great, but all too short time with my family in LA over the weekend. We went to the La Brea Tar Pits and Museum, as planned. Had a great time seeing everyone.

We also got to drive through Beverly Hills and Rodeo Dr. All I have to say is that the pretty parts of BH that you see must be access only, because I sure didn't see it. Did see some huge houses though. And Rodeo Dr.? Big deal. I still don't see the glory of it. Wow, people shop there, spend lots of money. Whoopdeedoo. See me in 10 years. Ask me if I still don't care. The answer is probably going to be no.

So, I got back to Silicon Valley, did a few errands, and went to see "The Other Boleyn Girl". Of course, having read the book, I was slightly disappointed in the movie. BUT- I do have to say that what they edited out was ok, although I think they could have kept a few things as part of the plot. And the things they changed seemed to work also. The true star of the film is Natalie Portman. She gave one hell of a performance. I'd give her a cookie for that movie. Good job, Nat. And a heavy set of kudos to Eric Bana, for being a believably mean Henry VIII. Good job to you as well. You didn't really like Anne Boleyn in the book, but in the movie I felt quite sorry for her. I recommend seeing it just on Natalie Portman's performance alone.

Anyhow, I just got home 12 hours ago from a weekend vacation, and I am back at work for the night shift. To pass time, I brought my photo printer and some movies, and CD's. Yay. Lemme dig into this hot pocket.
