I sort of missed talking about this but with the passing of Elizabeth Taylor, I had to do something. Elizabeth liked going to the Abbey Bar & Restaraunt in West Hollywood and a few years ago she gave them a painting of herself. So the day she died I twatted on twitter that everyone should go there and toast her picture. Well it took me a few days to actually go but I did get my picture in front of the dame.
So it was another fairly wild weekend here in La La Land. On Friday, Alf, Rob, Mike and I headed to Universal Citywalk to see the new Harry Potter film. I have only seen the first one I think but I did know I thought it was pretty good so I wasn't too worried about what I figured was a 2 and a half hour movie. It ended up being pretty talky since it's part one of a two parter but it was still good and both Alf and Rob really wanted to see it so it was fun.
Then we went to Gym and ended up closing the place up and the Leivas and I ended up all night long talking and drinking til abuot 6 in the morning. Ah, good times.
On Saturday, the only major plan I had was to go to Amoeba and then we were going to see my pal Devin perform at the Palms. He is in about three bands and it's so interesting to see the different sides of his music; this time around is his solo project Devin Tait & The Traitors so this is probably the closest to Devin's vision of the music he wants to do. He rocked the house, his music is so fun and poppy. We were all totally impressed.
On Sunday, Miss K and Tommy came to WeHo for brunch and we went to Rage where my new friend Chef Izzy is working. I only ate about 3 fries and ended up drinking about a half gallon of Captain Morgan so by the time I went home, I was schnockered and ended up biffing my knee on the sidewalk.. oh the sidewalks of WeHo are filled with blood and stale booze.
I was in bed by 6:30 and slept right through having to get up to work on Monday. I'm still in quite a bit of pain, but at least it was a fun time... so how was your weekend?
Next week is Thanksgiving and it's a little reminder that this year is almost over. As much as I have to be grateful for I have to admit this year was a bit sucky. Last year was great, I had a ton of money in the bank, we went on several vacations and everything moved smoothy. The economy took it's hit on our company (like so many others) and all my commissions pretty much dried up so I'm back to living paycheck to paycheck; and the thing is though I do spend a lot of money on frivilious stuff, most of my savings went to paying my bills as my paychecks barely pay my bills let alone let me live a life I (want to) have been accustomed to.
We aren't too bad off and I'm certainly in a better spot than I have been in my life before but it just sucks. The only way to get out is to try and get a better paying job as I've already discussed raises and the like with my cheap ass boss, but it's so hard to find anything interesting and I'm so close to work - but alas all things will work out and like I said, I'm certainly grateful for what I have and I'm certainly not wanting for anything so it's all good... just feeling a little poor. I guess I could always take that part time job at the Porn store, but I think porn probably pays better - maybe I'll look into that.
This week has been a bit of Hell - instead of my normal having fun Happy Hour, calling friends, trying to make music, I have instead been going home, drinking Nyquil watching a ton of TV and waiting for my cold to get over. I hate being sick. I have discovered I would much rather be hungover than have a head cold. I mean why do beautiful people get sick - haven't I paid my dues by all the shade others throw at me just because their jealous? Sometimes life is a bitch... hopefully I'll be better by the weekend.
I was having the hardest time committing to any kind of Halloween costume so last Thursday I decided to head into Hollywood to go to the Hollywood Halloween & Costume Shop and stop at the Army Surplus store on Hollywood Boulevard. My friend Rob and his boyfriend and I had decided we'd dress up on Saturday as army guys and then do a bigger costume for Sunday's West Hollywood Carnival.
It was a huge mistake to try to drive into Hollywood - I couldn't believe how bad the traffic was and then because I forget I'm not driving to Amoeba Music I missed the La Brea turn and ended up driving up another street to the boulevard. As cops guided us and the crowd was all along the street it occured to me there was probably a movie premiere.
I was right... as I finally was able to turn onto Hollywood Boulevard, there at the Chinese Theater was the set up for the premiere of "Due Date" with Robert Downey Jr. The one side of the street was completely blocked off and on the other side were a gazillion fans waiting to catch a glimpse of someone..
I ended up at a stand still when a black SUV pulled up next to me and Robert Downey Jr. got out of his car. He was right next to me and everyone started taking pictures - so if you're on TMZ or any other fan site you may see a little blonde boy in a little blue Escort freakin out.
Today I bring you something a little special. In August my mom, sister and little nephew came to visit and one day I plan on writing all about the fun time, but for now here's a fun little video of my nephew singing along to Blondie's "Ring Of Fire". My nephew loves the song by Johnny Cash but I guess the only version I had was Blondie's - but listen to how he goes right along with it. The video isn't edited so it starts out with Evan being bored of Tanya Tucker's "Rodeo Girls" but it gets fun from there!
This weekend was pretty mellow considering how some of mine have gone. Friday, my pal Robby came over and the Leivas and I joined him for some happy hour drinks which lasted til about 12:30 - not too shabby I think. On Saturday we headed down to Harbor City for some time with Alf's parents. It's always a ton of fun hanging out with them, and Alf's sister Evelyn and her husband were also there.
Saturday night I spent rehearsing some songs for my upcoming debut at Hamburger Mary's. Vicky Boofont has suggested 2-3 songs so I'm still trying to get a real feel for what songs I want to do. I know 2 of them but for a third I have a couple of ideas but don't know if I should do an older song or one off the new album since that's what I'm actually promoting... oh the probs.
Yesterday we didn't even do our normal brunch and I have to say it ended up being a very relaxing (and non alchoholic) day. I added a bunch of music to my Zune as I'm thinking of getting rid of a bunch of CDs I don't really listen to.. and the Leivas and I caught up on some TV. We watched a fairly interesting horror flick called "The Echo" which was kind of boring but the lead guy was good looking.
Then we watched our Law & Order SVU and Los Angeles episodes, an episode of "Supernatural", the "30 Rock" live episodes (east and west coast feeds) and "The Big Bang Theory."
Tonight it's back to rehearsing and I have to come up with the costumes I'll be wearing - I have a pretty good idea so now it's just making sure I have some kind of moves for the show so I don't look particularly plastic on stage....
Yesterday was the Leivas' birthday and it was a smashing success. I bought him this really cool universal remote and if you know anything about my man, you will know this is the kind of thing he loves. He loved it! After work he set it all up so we now have one remote to replace the 15 that were around the house. Then I took him to dinner at Eleven and we stayed to watch a bit of Musical Mondays - where they show musical numbers from movies while some people act out parts - it was fun but tiring...
and now speaking of birthdays - today is the birthday of one of my all time favorite actresses - Deborah Foreman - THE Valley Girl of "Valley Girl" - the chaueffer of "My Chauffer" - the Buffy/Muffy of "April Fool's Day" and the list goes on and on. ... "Valley Girl" is one of the movies I saw as a kid that made me realize how much I wanted to live in La La land. A few years ago Josie Cotton (who appears in the film singing songs) was having a show at the Knitting Factory and I had found out about it because I found Deborah on My Space. That night I got to meet Josie, see her perform and even talk and meet with Deborah Foreman - it was my 1982 Dream.
Here's a few gems from the Deborah Foreman catalog:
Well it was another fantabulous weekend - it was our wedding anniversary on Saturday but the Leivas and I started it out on Friday. After work I stopped at this little shop on Santa Monica and "Big" Mike, the waiter from Micky's came running out and clapping for "the best looking man in WeHo" - that's right it's me and I have a fan club.
I went to the store to find something for Alf for our anniversary. I didn't want to do anything major because we buy stuff for each other all the time. But I found a cute card and then I found a T-shirt that said, "Trophy Husband" on it and as much as I wanted it for myself, I thought it was about time the Leivas got a little support. So I bought him that.
When we got home we decided to go out for a little bit. We went to Gym Sportsbar down the street for Happy Hour and ordered food from Hunger - this cute and good little restaraunt across the courtyard from the bar. They deliver the food over so we can drink and eat. We ran into our neighbors Val & Noelle and talked to them for awhile before heading over to Micky's.
A few weeks ago, my friend Rob and I were at Micky's and this older couple started talking to us. The one is originally from Malta and the other one has lived in WeHo for years. They have been together for over 20 years and travel all over. On Friday, the Leivas and I ended up running into them again so we talked and hung out with them. They are actually meeting us tonight at Eleven - as it's the Leivas' birthday today and he wanted to have dinner at Eleven and hang out for this Musical Night they have. So that was all fun and tonight should be fun.
On our actual anniversary, we woke up and exchanged gifts. He actually loved his T-shirt and he bought me cologne - both my Black and Reaction - I love both of them. Then we hung out all day and all night - he was a little hung over from the night before. I had really wanted to go to Palms and see Devin perform and support Robert and Blender, but it was our anniversary and it wasn't really what we had planned on doing... so next time I will for sure go to anything they invite me to.
On Sunday, Tommy & Ryan came up with some cupcakes for Alf's birthday. Gaybor Mike also came over and Robby had his 3-year old nephew Robert and also brought these 2 fantabulous ladies from Norway that Robby knew when he stayed in Brazil. We all had brunch and even took little Robert over to Micky's to show him off. The whole big plan was to give the kid a pool day so we all went back to the house and had watermelon juice and champagne (not the kid mind you) and hung out at the pool... it was so fun. I love the pool and am glad that in the middle of October we still had some heat in the air.
After that my friend Geoffrey Ross was going to be at Hamburger Mary's where they have Celebrity Bingo - Sharon Osbourne was supposed to be there to call numbers and then Geoff was auctioning off some of his artwork, so the Leivas and I went over there, but it was friggin' busy (and they have horrible service to begin with) and Sharon didn't show up cuz someone in her staff died (!) so we only stayed a bit and then came home... and now I'm at work while the Leivas still has two more days off..
This weekend is going to be a little crazy - tomorrow is October 9th and on 10-09-08 I married my husband, so it's our two year wedding anniversary, and then on Monday is his birthday so I'll be doing a lot of nice things for the weekend.... and to share my blessed event, here once again is my wedding video -
There are a ton of things happening all of a sudden:
1. P!nk, one of my all time favorites just announced she is releasing a Greatest Hits album in November and you can stream the first single - plus she's shooting a video starting today and it will feature a gay wedding - she rocks. Check these links: Article on video, and the single "Raise Your Glass" (she's speaking my language).
2. Another of my favorite bands Rooney is releasing a Christmas EP and going on tour and will be in LA in December: Read here
3. There are a ton of local things going on this weekend too - Tomorrow night my pals Shitting Glitter are playing in Santa Ana - now an all girl band they are gonna rock and you should check it out if you can. Kegs 120 North International Boardwalk Redondo Beach, CA
4. On Saturday my pal Robert is throwing together his monthly mash up night called Blender. It will be at The Palms on Santa Monica Boulevard in WeHo and promises to be awesome. Also at around 8:30 before Blender starts my pal Devin Tait & The Traitors will be playing. The theme is fucked up Disney and you should go in costume.
5. My boss just emailed me and told me he is going to pay me my third quarter commission despite not meeting his goal... this is very exciting as now I can buy some Christmas presents.
6. I am probably going to be missing both the Friday and Saturday things I just told you about as this weekend (October 9th) is my two year wedding anniversary... that's right 2 years, still in love and the haters can't take away my marriage license (yet)
7. And finally on Monday, October 11th, it's my husband's birthday. Now I need to find him some amazing present....
Okay I have decided to make it a point to write on this blog every Monday-Friday. I'm going to start a journal and repost on here, just so everyone knows what I'm up to every single day. It might be boring, or it might be fun, but either way one day when I've forgotten how much fun I was, I'll have all this info out there and I can sort through it while lounging in the home...
In the next few days I'll probably do some back tracking but for today, I'll just tell you about my weekend which was a complete riot. On Saturday Alf and I drove to Long Beach with our friend Dylan. We went to some brewery restaraunt right on the water for AJ's birthday. AJ lives in Fullterton with Amy of Shitting Glitter and I haven't seen them in months probably. Everytime AJ and Amy have a party or want to get together something else is always going on.. plus to be honest we hate driving to the OC... but it was a great day and AJ was pretty surprised to see everyone. The food was also very good and the Leivas realized the bar used to be some dive gay bar back in the 80s where you walked onto the beach to get into the place.. sounds pretty cool.
After brunch with the pals, Alf and I headed to Harbor City to visit my inlaws. I love hanging out with Clifford and Juanita and they love me! Of course the wine was a flowing and Juanita and I topped off a gigantic bottle of champagne.
I was in such a good mood and felt so appreciative of everything that when I got home I started calling everyone. I think with all these crazy gay teen suicides and just knowing my in laws love me and that my husband is such a good guy I was a little gushy. I called my pal Melsie who I've known since middle school and told her how when everyone picked on me during school she was always right there and is probably one of the reasons I never did anything foolish when I was ridiculed relentlessly.
Then I called my mom and told her how great she always was and then I texted my 19 year old nephew and told him how much we all loved him and how proud we were of him... then I stumbled back into my house and was in bed by 8:30pm on a Saturday night...
On Sunday, I wanted to chill and not to our crazed fests known as Brunch. So I was all set to just hang and nurse my hangover when I found out Tommy, Ryan and Brian were all headed up from the OC so I texted my pal Rob and told him brunch was back on. We ended up at Bite for a little food and then to Micky's for the endless rounds of drinks that accomanies Brunch with Bradle. Then my friends Brad & Geoff from the Valley texted and said they were headed into WeHo so they came out to Mickys.. then my pal Brent was walking by and ended up getting Marc (who I hadn't seen in weeks either) and they all joined us.
Finally everyone started headed home so Alf, Rob, gaybor Mike and I stopped at Trunks for one more drink before heading home. We had decided to hang out in the hot tub then we came home and I passed out from not drinking on Sunday...
Today the Leivas stayed home from work and I decided it was time to start blogging again....
thanks for listening and to all those Lisa Hartman requests I've been ignoring .. the link will be back up tomorrow...
Well it was yet another whirlwind weekend with Gay Pride happening right outside my door. Friday night began with my pals Tommy & Ryan already at my house so you know Happy Hour was bound to happen. We headed down to Micky's where for some reason I got pretty sloshed. My pal Diggity showed up and of course my Leivas and then I was in bed by 9 pm. But what a way to begin the weekend.
Saturday we actually made it to the festival and it was surprisingly small and not all that exciting. Though I do love drinking beer in the sun with my boiz. Devin & Dylan & Marc all came around and then we ran into several other pals. Of course we ended up at our house for awhile drinking and swimming and having a blast.
Sunday was a little more crazy as I am pretty sure I was still on the drunk side of sober when I woke up. My Val Pals came over the hill and we once again ended up at Micky's. But this time I decided to dress in my skimpy red short shorts and a Blondie short. I was lookin' hot til I saw some hunky Latino guy wearing the same shorts and showing a bit of his black jock strap with no shirt on. Beatch.
We once again ended up at our house swimming and drinking with the neighbors and it was a lot of fun. But Monday was a bit of a bitch. Luckily we don't have any plans for this weekend so I think I can relax a bit.
But only for a bit cuz the hobby bug is picking up and I have some things to do. First I want to re-record a few songs in the Swivek catalog including "First Born Son" which is a song I wrote for my nephew who is having his 3 rd birthday this weekend. Also, there's some political songs I did that I would like to re-record. Plus I want to whip up a few new songs that I will record at a professional studio in Long Beach - Tommy bought me a full day of recording and I can't wait to take advantage.
Also, I've been looking over the "bible" I made for the second season of my soap "Carlton Heights" and there are some pretty good ideas in there. I would love to get going on it as I don't think the first season told the whole story - particularly since it ended on a cliffhanger and I know there's a few people itching to find out what happens.
So maybe this weekend I'll get started and get things a rollin'.
Geez I get so busy that I forget I still have a blog and some of my uber fans and friends aren't on Facebook to get my minute by minute updates; so let's catch up a little shall we?
First the weekend of May 22nd was my big birthday and let me tell you it was big and faboo. We had about 30 people at Hamburger Mary's for dinner and a show. The dinner was to celebrate me and the show was by the fabulous Boofont Sisters. Vicky and Ruby Boofont are super talented kids and I love every show they do. They even brought me up to do a little dance to "The Tide Is High" a song they picked out and rehearsed just for me! Vicky mentioned before bringing me up on stage that I had run the biggest and best birthday campaign Facebook had ever seen. Love those girls.
We all headed out to Micky's afterwards with everyone grabbing my presents and hailing cabs. By the time one of the last cabs was coming by my pal Jules and I decided to just walk back to Micky's - she is after all a marathon walker having walked the LA Marathon, and I wanted to prove I could walk just as good as her :0) - Also, I had to duck around the corner to pee.
The next day was one of our big brunches and one of the biggest as a ton of folks decided to come and celebrate again for my birthday.
The following week was Memorial Day Weekend and we decided to spend a lot of time at the pool. Tommy and Ryan came up on Friday and we went out to Motherlode with my gaybor Mike and my pal Robbie (who is now dating gaybor). Then Saturday Ryan and I shared some cocktails and hung out at the pool all day. I got to meet a bunch of new neighbors.
On Sunday, we decided to have a big bbq but we don't actually own a grill and the ones in our pool area are owned by other people so we didn't really want to use them. Tommy made a ton of food including southern BBQ Ribs. I realized as I was sitting in the pool drinking mimosas and watching the Leivas walk by me doing laundry while Tommy cooked up a storm in the house that I am terribly spoiled.
The BBQ was fun beyond belief and so many people ended up showing up. Tommy and I were worried as so many of our friends were actually out of town, we thought we wouldn't have anyone there but as it turns out there's always pals to count on to celebrate.
Then Kristin and Alley took me to the Hollywood Bowl to see Flight Of The Conchords which was a hilarious show. However, you used to be able to bring booze and food into the Bowl and now you can only bring it into a show sponsored by the LA Philharmonic who owns the Bowl, all other shows are off limits so there were a ton of people drinking and eating outside the actual venue. We ended up buying one bottle of cheap champagne, French Bread, and a six pack of Heineken at the store inside the Bowl and it was $85.00! But the actual Hollywood Bowl is beautiful. I hadn't been there before and now I might be going back to see the sing along Grease!
Memorial Day Monday was spent the same way my Birthday Monday was spent - me and Ryan saying we were going to make mimosas and head to the pool. Well I did go to the pool before anyone else woke up but after that I was done. I didn't feel well after all the drinking I had done so I just laid in bed while Alf, Tommy & Ryan watched movies in the living room.
Finally, last weekend was spent the way the Leivas really likes it - just he and I and no one else. On Saturday he went grocery shopping and I stayed home to clean and do laundry. My plan was to go to the pool while I did laundry and just as I started doing laundry one of my neighbors, Wade came in to tell me he was going to the pool. So I ended up doing laundry, and sitting at the pool talking with neighbors.
When Leivas finally got home I was in the hot tub with about four of our neighbors and we were drinking and having a good time. He ended up bringing me out a few more drinks before we all called it quits.
On Sunday, I finished up the rest of the laundry (we hadn't done any in 2 weeks) and was going to go to the pool again but ended up staying in the house watching endless episodes of the British TV Series "Afterlife" with my husband. It was wonderful.
Now this weekend is Gay Pride so stay tuned for some more adventures in this Life In La La Land.
So if you aren't on Facebook you probably have not seem my countdown to my big birthday this weekend, but it is happening - My Birthday is tomorrow and how will I be celebrating? Well I'm glad you asked.
It just so happens that my friends The Boofont Sisters are performing at Hamburger Mary's in West Hollywood - so me and 28 of my closest pals (including the sisters) are having dinner at 8 (we're so fancy) and then staying for the show which also includes Miss Tammie Brown (from season 1 of RuPaul's Drag Race). So if you can come join us - I will be accepting presents through out the evening.
I'm not sure if you know this about me but I friggin' love Pat Benatar. I grew up listening to her and I still bring out all of her albums all of the time. Well girl has written an autobiography BETWEEN A HEART AND A ROCK PLACE that will be released on June 15th and three days later on June 18th she is doing a book signing at Borders in Century City and you get bet your best shot this beatch is going to be in line and finally meet one of my fav little idols... you should too!
So don't read too much of this if you haven't watched UNITED STATES OF TARA, NURSE JACKIE, LOST or GLEE yet.. but that's Tuesdays at my house and here's what I have to say:
NURSE JACKIE Again, I just friggin' love some of the characters - Dr. O'Hara is by far and away my ultimate fav. So in the last episode, the cast Jackie made for her daughter caused the kid to accidentally hit herself in the mouth requiring stitches that Dr. O'Hara put on her in the kitchen. The next day at school the teacher had some questions so Jackie and Dr. O'Hara get a town car and take care of biz.. awesome. Zoe had a ton of one liners that were hilarious and Eddie took a date to Kevin's bar where Jackie and Dr. O'Hara were having a drink.. not a good thing.
UNITED STATES OF TARA On Nurse Jackie, she was called out for a few things by the new nurse Sam and on Tara, it seems Tara gets called out for some of her behavior. On top of being in a whole new state of art Tara creates a model house out of Marshall's liar box from last episode, and she pretty much ignores and chastises Max for just being there. At the art show, Tara's house with its bicentenial flag full of detail and her fear of fireworks makes it pretty clear we're close to figuring out what happened to her and Charmaine. Also at the art show, Marshall's new blonde slutty gay pal and the next door neighbor do some drugs in the bathroom and Max finally asks Tara if she may have created another Tara without knowing it and when she starts getting all upset that she just wants one good day, Max finally has it (and I agree with him) that he would like one himself - so he goes off to the tavern where Buck's girlfriend works... this show is so good.
LOST What the f? The whole episode was about Jacob and his still nameless brother. It was really good though as we found out who Adam & Eve were and the white/black rocks, and a little more about the mystery of the island. I just don't know how they're going to get us answers with only 1 one hour episode left and then the 2 hour finale.. but I'm waiting with baited breath.
Finally it was GLEE and like I said last week, I just am not getting into the storylines as much as I am the songs. That is except for Kurt - I love him and his dad. That guy who plays his dad is so good and who knew since all I ever saw him on was YES,DEAR. Once Frankenteen sang "Jessie's Girl" though I became interested and finally both Puck and Mercedes were the stars of the show so all that was good. But again it was really Kurt and his dad that brought me into it. Kurt trying to be butch and straight was pretty typical I think of teen and him trying to do "Pink Houses" as a song that spoke about him was pretty interesting but once he dug into "Rose's Turn" he was back in full fierce. I guess the Glee Club is a sort of therapy, I really should have joined in high school.
And that was Tuesday with the Leivas what did you do?
Well I have finally recovered from yet another fun filled weekend. Friday night I went with Devin and Dylan to a place called Mr. T's that used to be a bowling alley. Shitting Glitter played with Rough Duchess and two other bands. The turn out wasn't very high but I think they all kind of expected that as the place is kind of in a strange spot - Highland Park which is just north of downtown. But to be honest the trip there from WeHo was very easy so I'm not sure what the prob was. I think all the bands had fun anyway as it kind of just turned into a big friend jam. Bonus, while I was out with Shitting Glitter Alfred painted our living room wall. I love it!
Saturday, my pals Tommy and Ryan came up from the OC and we headed out to Mickys for some drinking and fun. We ended up meeting our neighbor Mike and Dylan came along with us for extra fun.
Sunday was of course brunch and there was booze, strippers and the hot tub. But in between all of that, we watched Betty White on Saturday Night Live. I can't remember when I laughed so hard at a TV show. She is truly an American treasure.
For years I've trying to get Alfred to run for city council of West Hollywood - he has lived here for over 25 years and knows everything there is to know about politics, but he doesn't want to do it, so that leaves me.
As silly and crazy as it sounds I am looking into running for City Council or at the very least finding someone who shares my wishes for the city. For the last 25 years the same council members have been rotating and they aren't doing as much for the city as I would like.
My first real desire to go after them was when there was an event at the West Hollywood Park. I work at the Pacific Design Center across from the park and as I walking home I saw reserved parking places for the event for John Heilman, Abbe Land and other members. We are a very progressive city including having environmentally minded laws, so why would members of the city council need reserved parking in a city that is only 1.5 square miles???
More recently Abbe Land is trying to get a law into the books regarding public cigarette smoking. She wants smoking banned from the outdoor patios of bars and restaraunts. Not only does she want this passed, she wants it to extend to the sidewalks. Needless to say the bars are not happy.
I don't care what anyone thinks about people smoking - we all know it's a fithy habit and is very bad for you, but since cigarettes are legal to smoke and you are outside and probably drinking - you can't just take the act away from people.
What really peeves me is I am almost quissessential West Hollywood - most of the people in this town are renters - I rent. I shop at the stores, I eat at the restaraunts, I drink in the bars, and I work in the city. I have never once seen Abbe Land in any of these places nor have I seen her walking down the street as I walk to and from work.
Recently there was an 'art attack' protest at a council meeting started by the two men who own the house that garnered them national attention with their Sarah Palin hanging model on Halloween a few years back. They were protesting against three members - Abbe and her crazy need for any and all real estate development in the city, John Heilman who has been on the board over 25 years and a woman named Lindsay who became a member by the other members bringing her in rather than a vote. It all seems like it's time for a change..
and that my friends is my political rant for the day.
I know it sounds like my life is full of endless partying and living loose but it's all glam and damn in my La La world, in fact most of my nights are spent having dinner with the hubby and watching endless TV shows.
Tuesday with the Leivas consisted of back to back Shotime shows, with "Nurse Jackie" and "The United States Of Tara" - which if you aren't watching you really should. "Nurse Jackie" is kind of a crap shoot with me, I love love some of the characters and practically loathe some of the others - Jackie's husband has turned into a jackass and her pharmacist boyfriend is crazy and dirty.. but her pal Dr. O'Hara kicks ass and I love her.
"The United States Of Tara" stars Toni Collette as a mother and wife with disassociate order and the last episode kicked ass culimating with her teenage gay son actually standing up and telling everyone what he thinks of them - he, it would appear, is the most normal of the bunch. But Toni Collette knocked it out of the ball park as usual.
Then it was a new episode of "Lost" which I won't spoil but let's just say I am PISSED! I cried and cried and then got pissed some more... only a few episodes left and it is good but boy did they make me sad and mad...
then a new "Glee" with special guest star Olivia Newton-John. Anyone who knows me knows I hold Miss ONJ in the highest regard but bitch should not mess with her face. She looks like she stepped out of Rodeo Drive with her new LA Face. It's not becoming at all. But at least she can still sing and she was pretty hilarious listing off all of her accomplishments. Plus her new version of "Physical" with Sue Sylvester (Jane Lynch) auto tuned beyond any possible recognition was still cool. Plus the "Run Joey Run" song and of course one of my all time favs "Total Eclipse Of The Heart" were cool. Too bad the storytelling is getting so horrid.. I am pretty close to givien up on it.
And that my friends was my Tuesday - what'd you do?
Location: West Hollywood, California, United States
SHORT VERSION: Bradley Jacobson is a singer/songwriter, sometime actor, sometime writer, audio engineer and producer, and all around happy dude. He was the singer/songwriter of the electronic trashy punky pop band Swivek, but is now a "solo" artist releasing music under his own name.
