Halloween Hotness

Well we survived yet another holiday in La La Land - the great Halloween which was in fact actually was the best Halloween I've had in recent memory. Of course it didn't hurt that I was being stopped constantly so people could take my pic...

Little Missives

Well hello all - I know I haven't written anything or posted for weeks upon weeks but I am trying to get back into writing and figured the best way to do that is start posting on my own blog.. so Bradley's Buzz is back!

I have to tell you the life of a Bradley in La La Land can be quite exciting. This weekend was a frickin' hoot from start to finish. On Friday I whipped up a few Captain & Cokes and some compilation CD's for my pal Jamie who was celebrating her birthday. One of the mixes I came up with was all supposed to feel like a day of summer, starting with songs about summer, water and heat and going into some nighttime dancing songs so it was a day of summer (titled "Water Sports") but while listening to it, I realized the whole thing told this kind of story and I have now decided to write a play or screenplay using all the songs as the main storytelling device - entitled "Tragic Surf" (after a Motels song) I think it could be an Across The Universe meets Valley Girl type of thing.. I'm actually pretty excited to start working on it.

Then on Saturday, the Leivas and I headed to Temecula to visit his aunt Nida who is 97 and something of a pistol - then we headed to the O.C. (I know what a life I have) for Jamie's birthday party where I laughed and laughed so hard I made other people practically pee their pants.

Finally, my Sunday was filled with my new BFF Kristin who hails from that holy land of the Midwest. She is a frickin' riot and loves to drink - who doesn't love that. She came over the hill from Sherman Oaks, and we headed to Eleven for mimosas and brunch. The Leivas liked her so much he thought she could handle the responsibility of getting me home if he left us to go to the grocery store - that says something since there are friends I've had for years Leivas is leery to leave me with...

After Eleven, we headed to the pool and the Leivas brought us more mimosas. Then after a little break and wee nap - my pals Dylan and Devin brought us dinner and we watched two episodes of "True Blood" (so frickin' good) -

And that my friends is My Life in La La Land -

aren't you glad I'm finally back and rambling?

Anyway, to keep tradition as it is, here's our Monday Random Photo - Kristin and I wetting our whistles (if you will and I know you will)

Well we are back from the Mexicana Riviera and I even have proof - no not the extensive sunburn, instead a pic of me and the Leivas with our new friend Nanook, though I just called her Nanoo, cuz we were tight like that.

I'm Back

I never meant to take two weeks off from blogging but what can I say? Life came swooping in and made me its bitch for the last few weeks. First and most exciting was the fact my little brother came into town ... completely unannounced and with just a little phone message saying, "Hey it's your brother I'm at LAX" and for the next few days I played host to my little brother, who had never been to California, or even on a big jet airplane before... so that was actually pretty exciting.

Then the following week, I, the person who never ever gets ill, got a cold. I'm still recovering from the sucker, and of course now the Leivas has it as well.. but I am here to say I'm back and will be here all week - thank you, thank you.

I will also be getting back to all those emails I've recieved from all of you my adoring fan (s)?? and there will be some new uploads tomorrow.. until then enjoy this random pic of my brother on Hollywood Boulevard with his new girlfriend...

Monday Random Photo - A Very Bradley Christmas Photo (s)

Despite suddenly coming down with a big old cold, I worked my little perfect bootie off and got everybody's presents out into the world - okay not everybody but most people - my whole frickin' family, and my whole pseudo frickin' family, and even my Cissell - and more importantly the Leivas and I took our yearly jaunt over to Home Depot and got ourselves our Merry Christmas tree -

Here is the final product:
Here's how it goes - every year - as my man is a creature of habit - We head into my little Ford Escort - that would be Ferucia Tic Tic for those not in the know - as wI have that fancy pants hatchback and the seats go down. Then we stop at Taco Bell for a quick bite to eat.. I know I'm spoiled. Then we head into the tree lot at Home Depot where I look around for a few minutes and pick out a tree. The tree I pick within the first five minutes is the tree we take home. Then we load it up and take it home where it gets to breathe for the night before the next day when Leivas puts the lights on and I start decorating... oh yes I know you're all jealous of my exciting La La life -


And for a special Christmas treat - a few more random photos - meet the Lisa Dawl. I found this little ceramic cherub at the .99 cent store a few years ago and bought four of them as they reminded me of my pal Lisa. There was even a little black one so I was going to start doing a You Tube show with them - the Lala, Layla and Lola Show but I ended up giving the other ones away as a gift (I know I'm a giver) but I've kept this one cuz every time I see it I think of Lisa...



and finally - the sweetest little Christmas angel ever - my little nephew decorating His first tree.
