Well, to begin with...the rain came down so hard it flooded part of my apartment, and the apartment next door. The area that got flood is right behind my computer. I didn't notice it at first, so I'm surprised I didn't get electrocuted. I ran into the girl next door and she told me her apartment got flooded in the rain. So I decided to pull out all the furniture, and thats how I found it. I guess the water leaked through the windows or something. So now the cleaning people have to come and try to clean up the mess of the carpet.

My most favorite movie so far..."Something's Gotta Give". It was so funny. And a really great funny romantic comedy. It just leaves you with the "feel good" feeling - very upbeat and happy. And I have to admit, anything with Keanu Reeves is my kind of movie. Jack Nicholson (amazon,ebay) Diane Keaton (amazon,ebay) Frances McDormand (amazon,ebay) Keanu Reeves (amazon,ebay) Amanda Peet (amazon,ebay) Paul Michael Glaser (amazon,ebay) |
The wind is blowing hard, and it is freezing cold outside. Los Angeles is in for a rough winter.
My apartment stinks from the flooding from the rain. I'm burning incense to get rid of the smell...
The nearest snow is 60 miles from here And roasting Chestnuts Don't perfume the atmosphere But I love Christmas in L.A. - Christmas in Los Angeles Lawrence Welk(amazon,ebay) The orange and palm trees sway There's never been such a day in Beverly Hills, L.A. But it's December the twenty-fourth And I'm longing to be up north I'm dreaming of a White Christmas - The original first verse of "I'm Dreaming of a White Christmas" Irving Berlin (amazon,ebay) Thanks to today's Los Angeles Times for the above California themed Christmas carols. Except ... today is the first Christmas in 10 years where its rained in Los Angeles. And let me tell you, it is pouring ! Time to heat up some hot chocolate.

Okay, we all stood around for like 10 minutes while the building swayed during the earthquake. All they tell you to do if you are in a high-rise is get to the center of the building, and get under a table to avoid falling objects. Not much else you can do. We read on the internet news a few hours later how bad it was farther north up the California coast. I finally got the Post Cards for the Jan 3rd screening of "One Mans Trash" out in the mail this morning. 300 to Casting Directors. The problem is that alot of the entertainment industry close their offices between Christmas and New Years. So I don't know if they will receive these in time before they leave for the holiday. Anyway, I am really looking forward to the screening on the 3rd. |

Over the weekend, I went and saw "Bad Santa" starring Billy Bob Thornton(amazon,ebay). I wanted to see it but noticed the local Mann Theatre at the Hollywood and Highland Complexwas only playing two shows at night. Then after the Golden Globe nominations came out, and Billy Bob Thornton was nominated for Best Actor in a Comedy, the theatre added more shows. The theatre was really packed, almost sold out. I was running late to begin with. Then the kid in front of me at the concession stand didn't have enough money for his popcorn, and his brother had to run and get more money. All I missed were the trailers. "Bad Santa" was really funny, and Billy Bob was hysterically funny as the boozing cussing stealing Department Store Santa. Definately leave the kids at home for this one. Its a raunchy comedy with a holiday theme for adults. |
I haven't posted since last Thursday. With the holidays pretty much here, things are getting pretty busy. There's so many last minute loose ends to tie before Chrismas is really here. I am trying to avoid the Malls as much as possible, but sometimes you just can't. This year, I ordered alot of my gifts online from Swiss Colony. |

I saw Kenny Rogers(amazon,ebay) Christmas Show at Universal Amphitheater . This is festive holiday show for the entire family. There were lots of familys attending. The first part of the show was traditional Christmas songs. The second part of the show was an originaly musical play written by Kenny Rogers, complete with dancing and singing toys. I highly recommend that if the show is in your town next year, you go see it, especially if you have children. It really is a Christmas show everyone can enjoy. |
Then I spent all night Friday, and the morning of Saturday cooking for The Egyptian Theatre's Holiday Volunteer party. I love to cook, and I really don't get alot of opportunities to cook for alot of people. I signed up for cooking the turkey. I was hoping to find a 22 pounder, but the largest they had was only 17 pounds. So I saw Ham was also on sale, so I got a pre-cooked ham as well. I was cooking forever, but I really enjoy it. Here are the recipes I made: Apricot Glazed Turkey - very tasty, it got lots of compliments. After the turkey got cooking, I just turned the oven down to 250, and went to bed. I glazed it in the morning when I woke up Dried Fig and Apricot Stuffing - except I used white raisens in place of the figs Pineapple Glaze for Ham - this was very easy, and very tasty. Also, a good Easter recipe. |
