Wednesday

It's Wednesday...I just typed a new blog entry and accidentally hit the back button in my browser and I lost the entire thing! I am completely frustrated now, but I will try this again.

So I am up and running now with internet and email at the office. Spent 3 days without it because our router and power supply fried on us. It was hell....working in 1995! I've become so dependant on the internet and email that I really felt like I was out of touch with the world. I read or heard or something the other day that parents are having to teach their children how to use a pay phone because they are so foreign to them, and the children are teaching their parents how to use their cell phones! Anyway, so a lot has happened since Friday.

I spent most of my weekend packing and living out of a suitcase at Shannon's new place in West Hollywood. Quinn and I decided last week that we would stay at Shannon's place with her while we were coordinating our 2 day move to Brentwood. And I'm very glad that we did because it was nice and cozy at Shannon's. Saturday and Sunday we packed and cleaned. Monday night after work we moved everything to our new apartment. The move went pretty smooth, but my muscles and almost every inch of my body seem to tell me otherwise! Quinn and I have already started a list of things we need ...it keeps getting longer, but I'm sure within the month we will get everything we need and boxes will begin to disappear. The place will soon feel like home! We already like our neighborhood...and looking forward to doing some exploring soon, too.

My sister Daphne is flying from Houston to Atlanta today and driving from Atlanta to New York tomorrow...she's moving to the city. If you're reading, Daphne..try to stay awake OK! I know how you are and you can fall asleep anywhere! Anyway, good luck and I can't wait to see pictures. Send them and I will post them here in my blog.

Upcoming plans... August 20th I am going to see Coldplay in Irvine with my friends and fellow coldplay fans, Season, Quinn and Adam. It should be a good show even though X&Y was not the big hit we hoped it would be....although, who could follow up with something even better than 'Parachutes' and 'A Rush of Blood to the Head'? Though, I do like the record and it's not bad..it's just not comparable to the first 2 albums. Anyway enough about Coldplay. I am also planning to visit the fam for Labor Day weekend. Although I've just learned I may only be visiting Ginger, Candace and Eric (and miss daisy and candace's new kitty, mocha). Dad is possibly considering a temporary work assignment in California....close to me! I'm waititng to hear the details!

Here are some recent movies that I've seen & that I liked: Must Love Dogs - cute and entertaining, and a little on the cheesy side..but how can you not like John Cusack and Diane Lane? The March of the Penguins - I really enjoyed this documentary. It was the perfect amount of information and it wasn't too long so I was totally entertained without realizing I was learning so much! ;) The Island - I was pleasantly surprised with this film, knowing nothing about it....it was full of action, futuristic, and I even laughed a few times. Wedding Crashers - Vince Vaughn has proven himself in this role to be one of the funiest comedic actors today! At least I think so. I can't wait to watch this one on DVD over and over again. I also recently saw Playing By Heart - It's an older one (98), with a lot of well-known actors. It was pretty good.

The picture in this blog is of my best friend, Molly's little girl. Her name is Riley and she is almost 1 year old (august 21st). She is a cutie! I've only met her once, but I'm able to see so many pictures of her because Molly is so good about updating her website with new and current photos ( www.rileyann.babywindow.com ). Happy Birthday (almost) RILEY!

Well it's time for lunch and I'm hungry...so that is all for now.
