Deck the Hallows

It's my favorite time of the year! Between Halloween and Christmas, there isn't much that can bring me down. The cooling of the air, the falling of the leaves, the festive decorations. I love every minute of it! One of the perks of working at a theatre around Halloween, is that you get access to the costume closet. This morning I got to search the racks, and there was much to look at and choose from. My costume is already in progress, but a few flashy additions couldn't hurt :) Being that Halloween is on Friday, this week's edition of erractic behavior will be partially ruled by All Hallows Eve a fellow dj friend was kind enough to lend me a special LP for the occasion. Tune in Thursday from 10pm-2am for all the halloweenie fun!

last night the DJ saved my life

taken @ mission ale house - 2005 Whew! After a slow, nearly two week process of moving into my new place, I needed a release. That came to me in the form of my friend melanie's houseparty birthday bash, and DJ pete beat. Pete (a friend and co-worker) put together a special early 90s hip hop mix for the ocassion. That, combined with mel's special peachy pinnapple vodka punch ( with frozen peach quarters!), kept my booty shakin' all night long. After a late night out, the natural thing to do would be to get up at 8am, right? Normally I wouldn't even consider it, but when your family gets tickets to a 49er game, and they want to tailgate before hand, well, you get up at 8am. Did someone say mimosas? While the game itself was a bust, we had a nice sunny day out at candlestick. I even spray painted my hair for the festivities. pics to come. tonight is a new episode of mad men . I can't say enough about this show. the acting! the dialogue! the costumes and set design! i c

I'm really happy, and here's why:

One great weekend. I'm almost completely moved into the new place. Plus, I took to Capitola for some good food, booty shaking, and a little R & R. Back in newapartmentland, I spent the night for the first time last night. me and the roomie went grocery shopping and made our first dinner together, which we shared over an old episode of Grey's Anatomy. I have discovered, much to my dismay, that our downstairs neighbor either likes to fall asleep with tv blaring, or stays up really late. either way, earplugs might be in order. It's a good thing me any my roommate decided to get cable, because I have become obsessed with food network , and specifically, guy fieri . He has 3 shows on the network, guy's big bite , Guy Off the Hook (the one where he does it with the audience...cooking that is, you dirty bird!), and the one that began the whole infatuation, my super fave, diners, drive-ins, and dives I totally want to have my own show on food network where I get in an old

with Halloween fast approaching, I need to pick a costume and fast. I have a few ideas, but I can't decide. wanna help me? the frontrunner: Millificent from Sleeping beauty . The villainess of epically evil proportions! She is my all time fave, and I need to go to Disneyland on Halloween one day, so that I can take a picture with her the runner up: Ursula from The Little Mermaid . Equally diabolical, but not quite as fabulous. I think I thought of this one because our physical similarities cannot be denied. the long shot: Sally O'Malley. The sassiest 50 year old to kick and stretch and kick in a red pantsuit since Jack Lelane! I probably won't go with this one, but we started talking about it at work, and how fricken funny would it be. seriously!?!?! observe: the dark horse: oh, elton! a crazy hat, some sparkly sunglasses, platforms, and a feather boa, is all i'd need on Halloween to let everyone know that the bitch is back! so which gets your vote?!?!

nights in crapdanthe

ohhhhh, this could have been such a goooooood movie. gere. lane. they have the talent. they have the heat. damn the marketing geniuses behind nights in rodanthe . when i saw that trailer, as sappy as i knew it was probably going to be, i fell for it hook, line, and sinker. There is something about romantic dramas that appeal to the estrogen flowing through my veins. What can I say, I like a good cry. I did not, however, cry while watching this depressing piece of garbage. I was too busy snickering at the uber cheesy dialogue, and straight up laughing out loud at most of the ludicrous plotline. The trailer made it look so goooood, though! now if you are looking for a good romance, and you don't mind the drama, I suggest: 1) the prince of tides 2) terms of endearment 3) the notebook 4) something's gotta give 5) spanglish and just entering the club: since i got it from netflix on saturday, I have watched it twice. I watched it twice in the movie theatre, and will be buying it a

moving day

as of 5:30 this evening, i will officially be a resident of willow glen i'm droping off the first rent check, picking up the key, and hauling the first of my belongings up to the apartment. My new roomie is a good friend, and I know we are going to have awesome time. Although I wasn't as prepared as I would have liked, and it will be a few weeks before I'm truly settled, I still couldn't be more excited. In the midst of all this moving chaos, I will be taking a short road trip to The Oregon Shakespeare Festival , to check out Othello and Our Town this weekend. I so need this little excursion. It's going to be a nice break, and a chance to catch up with some old friends.

Lebowski me, baby

One of my favorite films of all time, the big lebowski turns 10 this year. Over the years, it has eclipsed even it's own cult status to become a way of life . It has inspired Halloween costumes: my friend John at my party last year , festivals , books I wonder what it is about this film that has made it such a phenomenon. The bowling? the characters? the performances? the fashion? whatever the reason, the dude continues to abide.
