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.

…so I copy.

		I will marry timothy olyphant.
		After a wild honeymoon, We will settle down in Los Angeles in our fabulous Apartment.
		We will have 3 kid(s) together.
		Our family will zoom around in a pink BMW 745Li.
		I will spend my days as a non-profit exec, and live happily ever after.

I got different results, though - duh. I’ll be happy as a clam - only it would be better if my 745 was not pink…

More Theatre in SD, among other things

I recently went to San Diego to see the slew of babies and baby mamas and baby daddies I know in SD. I reconnected with a few people I hadn’t seen in around 15 years - AMAZING! And Kind of strange. I saw a play one of the old HS friends directed, which I thought was brilliant. It sounded very British to me, and lo and behold - it was! Esther said, ‘well, yes, people are familiar with Caryl Churchill.’ Not me, but apparently others are!! Anyway, it was a great show, with not many actors in it (that’s an understatement, as there were two). I thought it was really well done, and you San Diegans should go see it. Again, it’s called A Number and it’s done by the Cygnet Theatre Company. The theatre is the Rolando Theatre and it’s just barely east of SDSU. It plays till June 29th.

In addition, where Esther works the most is MOXIE Theatre. They’re doing a play called “The Listener” and I’d really like to see it - just not sure if I can get down there for a two week run. It looks fabulous, and you should go see it!!

My friend Esther, from long ago high school days, is directing a show in San Diego. It starts 5/31… you should all go. I’m going to go on 6/1, on a Sunday afternoon. It’s called “It’s a Number” and it’s being done by the Cygnet Theatre Company - at the Rolando Theatre. Here’s the link.  Cygnet Theatre Company

Two neato things

I was sent something by Heifer International today that had a “This I Believe” essay in it. It is wonderful. I was then prompted to go to the website to read more - I think it’s a great way to be receptive to other peoples’ views. We should all do it. Here’s the site: This I Believe, Inc.

In other news - a colleague at work sent me a link - that I shortened tremendously. It’s fun!

Duran Duran!!!

I saw Duran Duran last night at the new venue Nokia Center/Live/Whatever in Downtown LA last night. It was FANTASTIC!!! They played for QUITE a while, being that they’re old geezers… LOVED it, though. I am hoarse today. I danced and jumped up and down for the entire thing… I screamed when Simon took off his jacket and when he unbuttoned his black shirt (after a wardrobe change) - just like I imagine I would have done if I’d seen them when I was younger… It was awesome.

There were women sitting next to me that told their friends about me - on the way out they were talking about how much energy this girl next to them had… and then I walked out. They then said, “And there she is!!” So, it was fun.

I’m a little bit knackered today, though - give me strength and coffee to get through the day…

WOW - Amy was on the Today show and she knocked them dead… well, she knocked me out. It was amazing. And she then was asked to be on Inside Edition - I’ll have to tivo that one too… and then interview requests have poured in from all over the world. This is so very exciting - AND DESERVED!!

Here’s her website: www.amywalker.info Check it out - I’m going to have to now get updated from there.

In other news - I spent the weekend out in the Inland Empire, and it was so flippin’ GREEN - amazing. Strange too - mostly b/c it’s so rarely that green… GORGEOUS - and the poppies and lupines and other flowers are blooming. Gorgeous.

My friend Amy, who I’ve known since I was young, and she was younger, has become a viral video sensation.

She was interviewed on NPR’s Day to Day show on Monday the 10th and I want to share it with all of you. Look her up. She does many accents and is very proficient at them. Listen here. Watch here.

She is going to be on NBC’s TODAY show on Thursday - I will post that link when I get it. It’s all very exciting!!!
