Tumbledown Show Article

Check out this article to see some quotes for my interview about Mike Herrera's (MxPx) Tumbledown!  I love being a fan of good music :)

Just a few things....

Wow, I am so behind on my blogging!  I will write a quick update and promise more to come soon.    

My friend Andi (who I visited in Seattle a few weeks ago) was in town the past few days.  She got in Friday and just left this morning.  We had an action packed long weekend of sight-seeing, whale watching, shows, going out and eating!  We had some amazing meals and great times...I will post some pictures and tell you more about that soon.  (that's us at Chateau Marmont on Friday).

My bad car luck continues...my car got broken into again last night in the parking lot of the bar we were at to see Tumbledown.  I have officially surrendered my car to LA...because clearly, it is cursed.  Luckily this time, whoever broke in was at least nice about it...they only broke the little window on the back door and then unlocked the door for themselves.  So, I only have to replace a little window, a pair of sunglasses and the Mark Jewel perfume that they stole.  I am mad they stole my perfume because people were complimenting me on it all night!!  

Well, that's my quick update for now.  I'm exhausted and will write more soon....

How could I forget?

I completely forgot to mention in my last blog that it seems I will NEVER escape my car problems! I'm not even having "real" car problems yet...just stupid cosmetic ones! It looks like someone hit my car somehow because last night when I left to go the venue I noticed my left blinker was completely shattered. The bulb is still in tact, and works as far as I know...but seriously? Now I have to replace that too? ugh.

I guess I had so much fun last night that I momentarily forgot that I have the worst car karma known to mankind. grrrr.

A Million Trillion Stars

Last night I went to a CD release party for a band called Boomkat. My friend Kelly, who I met through MxPx does PR for them and invited me to go. The party was at The Plush Lounge which is below a venue called The Key Club on Sunset. They had it all decorated with tons of stars hanging from the ceiling because the name of the album they released is called "A Million Trillion Stars". There were giant jars filled with all kinds of candy on all the tables and they even had a special cocktail that came with candy stars in it. So cute. 

On a side note, for anyone who is a fan of the Girl's Next Door show on E! one of the playmates from that show was there last night. Now I don't know why, but I am so oblivious to celebrities. I don't know if it's because I have met so many in my lifetime and I am just jaded or if I just don't recognize celebrities in public. Holly from that show was standing two feet away from me and I didn't even realize it. Kelly pointed her out to me and I felt dumb. haha. I should know who she is though, because we all know I am a sucker for bad reality TV and I've seen every episode of that show! I guess I just wasn't expecting her to be standing right next to me. I think that's the part I am not used to. I've met too many celebrities to count (mostly musicians from working in radio, but a lot of actors too)...and I am just used to meeting them when I know beforehand that I will see them, not just running into them in a bar. When Nick Lachey and Jessica Simpson would be at a bar in Cincy, everyone knew where they were. Here, unless it's someone super famous and there are paparazzi, I have no way of knowing! In case you have no idea who I am talking about, here is a picture of her:

Live for the Moment

Wherever you look, there is plenty of circumstantial evidence for the reality of time—a rotting apple, your face in the bathroom mirror compared with your face in a photo taken 30 years ago—yet you never find any direct evidence, you never experience time itself. You only ever experience the present moment.
-Eckhart Tolle

A little of this, a little of that.

I haven't blogged in a while, because well, I don't have much to say!  I am sure this blog will end up being super long regardless of the fact that I think I have nothing to say.  Today was a pretty day.  I took a walk down to Sunset to go to Starbucks.  It's a mile, so not a bad walk.  I always feel weird when I take a walk without Bella.  I am definitely more observant when she isn't with me, but it just feels like a part of me is missing when I take a long walk without bringing her!  

Last Sunday Nikki and I went down to San Diego for the day.  We met up with her friend Ryan, and had some lunch and watched the sunset on the beach.  I think watching the sunset over water is pretty much my favorite thing to do.  I wish I could do it every night.  Maybe someday...

My car got towed last Sunday.  I went to see a friend of a friend's band play in Hollywood and apparently meters are reserved for clubs to valet cars in after 6pm in Hollywood.  So, I got a $58 ticket and had to pay for a $243 tow.  Just awesome.  I have had the worst luck with my car since I moved to LA!  It's now been totaled, ticketed, broken into and towed all since Thanksgiving.  Hopefully my bad car karma is over with!

Well, my dad helped me with my taxes tonight and it looks like I will be getting a few hundred back.  I was worried I was going to owe because my Miley World job didn't take out taxes, but it looks like I will be okay!

Alright...time to go to the market and get some dinner!
