the 5 life-lessons i learned this weekend

-
1.  the side-view mirror of my car has a MAJOR blind spot

2.  Jerry's Famous Deli has pretty good fresh squeezed orange juice, but its not as good as the fresh squeezed orange juice at Paty's

3.  Paty's in Toluca Lake has the best fresh squeezed orange juice I have ever or, will ever have in my entire life

4.  the worst place to drive is up in the Hollywood Hills.  I'd rather drive over broken glass, in a convertible, while its raining and it is 33 degrees out

5.  if you want to see Justin's Timberlake's house, don't.  It becomes a little awkward when his house is at a dead end and you have to turn around and his security guard is staring at you, and he's not staring in a "I want your body" type of way

I've Got a Theory

-
I have a relationship with the clerk in the store where I buy my beef jerky and copenhagen—I mean where I buy my quinoa and acai. I’m in there about twice a week  and have been going to this store for  basically the entire time I’ve lived in LA.  We aren’t wordsmiths towards each other, but we have facial recognition and the “Hey! How are you? Good to see you.” down pat.  Yesterday something happened. He rung me up (I got a cherry blow pop that he didn’t charge me for) I swiped my card because plastic makes it easier to believe that you aren’t spending anything. I grabbed my bag of Colt 45 and two zig zags* (I mean because baby…that's all I need)—I mean, organic bananas and almonds, I turned about 35 degrees, got one foot up ready to take a step when he mumbled to me. He either said, “How about that plane?” “Crazy about the plane.” “What do you think about that plane?” Till this day I don't and do not believe I’ll ever know what he initally said. I just kind of

Her, Him & Them: Based on a Fictional True Story

-
Based on a true, but fictional story He was everything to her. She knew every possible thing she could know about him.  He was a photographer, an amazing one at that. He would say that  SportsCenter  was his favorite show, when in actuality it was  Parenthood.  If he could only eat one type of food for the rest of his life, he chose the Dragon Roll from Sushi on Main. He had a super fat tabby cat named Tabby. He’s deathly allergic to bees.  He’s the oldest of three children. He has two sisters that mean the absolute world to him. Their father died when he was 10 and he had to become the man of the house. When he’s ready to have children he wants four, two of each. These are the things she excitedly told her three girlfriends at brunch the first time she mentioned him. She couldn’t believe a month had passed since she told them about him. She wasn’t going to, at least not then but she just kind of blurted it out after they kept badgering her about who her plus one would be to the w

You're Judging Me? I'm Judging You?

-
I was getting coffee with a co-worker today and I ordered a caramel latte.  The barista asked me a question after I ordered. I didn't hear what he said, so he repeated it. I still couldn't hear, so he repeated it a third time. I responded again with "what?" He repeated it again. I turned to my co-worker for assistance and he said "What is your name?" the proceeded to answer for the barista.  After we left I told him that I really couldn't understand the barista, he said well he was soft spoken, maybe he was intimidated by you.  I was taken aback. "What?! I'm not intimidating." "Yeah, you are just the look you always have on your face. It says 'don't talk to me.'" I cursed out loud and replied with "Dammit, that's supposed to be my airport look." Don't bother me at airports people, don't want to be there, don't want to know you. Unbeknownst to me, my airport look turned into my everyday when
