Posted on October 23rd, 2008 by tallgirl.
Categories: random.

Here it is… in all its glory. A friend asked for one, so I made it. Now all the current friends have to go through the application process.

  1. Are you cool? Describe the coolness factor.
  2. Do you like rock music? Tell me what you like.
  3. Do you like travel? Where have you been?
  4. What’s your middle name? Is it cool enough for me to adopt, since I have none?
  5. Who are your heroes?
  6. Do you like alcohol? What other habits do you have that I should be aware of? Would you describe them as good or bad?
  7. Are you spontaneous? Tell me about a spontaneous outing.
  8. What’s one thing you’ve not done yet in your life, that you feel you need to have done?
  9. Do you have regrets? Explain.
  10. Do you have pets? What kind?
  11. Would you give your life for me? (Only complete this if you are applying for BEST FRIEND status.)

The end.

Bleeding Kansas in SD

Posted on October 15th, 2008 by tallgirl.
Categories: random, Triathlon nut-job.

Okay, so I’ve raved about Esther’s theatre company before, and I’m about to do it again. Skip if you don’t totally care… Regardless, they’re doing BLEEDING KANSAS and it looks great. It’s fairly timely (about politics) and it looks great. I’ve been reading about the background work the cast has been doing and about the building of sets, etc, so I know I might be more excited about it than others, but… whatevs.

I am going this coming Sunday, after I do a crazy 1/2 mile swim in Mission Bay (cheer me on! Come at 7am!! Ha.), and then have a Bloody Mary at the Ivy in the Gaslamp. MMMMMMMMMM. Anyway, here’s a link for a review of it:
MOXIE Stages Topical Play “Bleeding Kansas”

Here’s where you can buy tickets: http://www.mycommunitytickets.com/organization_info.asp?orgid=814 

Come support local theatre. Local as in San Diego. OR, you can be like me and drive to SD.

kookiness

So, I’m looking for apartments again, and I found some great ones on CraigsList.org. I found one that looked too darn good to be true. But, I emailed, regardless, and got a response. In the response, this woman took the time to write out a long email, detailing a lot of info that a) I wouldn’t give to a stranger, and b) wouldn’t give to a stranger over the phone! She told me how much she made, how long she would be away, etc. In addition, the rental price is out of this world. It’s a downtown LA loft, and she wants $1350 for it - two bed, two bath. I looked at the Met Lofts on CraigsList and it came back with $2700 and higher.

Sounded too good to be true, so I asked a friend. He told me that if I wanted to look at it, it would work, but also that I should take someone with me - since I’m a chick… Very strange. They warn you to only do stuff like this in person, and on the phone, etc, but man, this was strange!

Just thought I’d share…

I am so excited!! August is going to be great. I get to drive to Yosemite (where I’ve never been!!) on the 30th of July to see my little bro. And I’ll come back around the 2nd of August. And then on the 14th of August, I’m going to NYC. It’s been far too long since I’ve been there (less time has passed since I went to Vegas, but NYC is so flippin’ rad!!!!) and I’m going for an old high school friend’s wedding. It’ll be great!! I also get to see friends there. It’s all just gravy. I’m stoked. I’ll be there for four whole nights. YIPPEE!!!! Just wanted to share. I love to WALK so much in NYC, it’s just great…

Flickr.com is SO much better than Kodakgallery.com:

What the heck is that about? I got an email from Kodak yesterday and I thought - hmm, is this a hoax. NO IT IS NOT!!! Lame.
