hmmm

hellooooo!

i hope everyone is having a good week! i'm glad that it's wednesday. i'm ready for it to be friiiiiiday. the weekends are just way too short!

this week has been hectic because we had women's NCAA 1st and 2nd rounds and then NIT games last week and this week. on top of that, it's Cal's spring break so it is very difficult to get groups to work, which results in me getting yell'd at... soo, it hasn't been a fun week.

anywho.. friday, i left work early because scott's sister, dana, came into town! she's so nice and so much fun!! i'm trying to convince her to move here, but i don't know if i'm very good at it. we went to a bar close to campus and watched some men's NCAA tournament games. it was nice to take off work early and enjoy the nice weather! it was like 75 or so degrees!! it was awesome!! after that we went and got some pizza at this place called 'The Cheeseboard.' there is always a line waaaaaay out of the door. the pizza is made from all fresh and local ingredients so it is in high demand!! later we went to scott's because his roommate was having a st. katie's day party (her bday is on st. patty's day). haha.. it was a lot of fun! she made a bunch of homemade ice cream.. mmm so good. all the food was green. it was a ton of fun!

saturday, tory and i woke up early and ventured to the city to watch the tottenham game. got up at 6am so we could get to the bar by 7 (time tottenham was supposed to start)... we get there and the bar is closed until 8... because supposedly that's the time when it started?! haha, oh well.. i fell asleep back in the car. went back to the pub, watched the game. then one of the bartenders noticed my UNC shirt and asked me what time that game started and put it on a tv where i could watch both of the games.. heck yessssss for a carolina bar!! at home, my dad and i have to hound people to put it on a tv!! it was pretty awesome. after both tottenham and UNC won (whoo hooooo!!!!!!) tory and i went to grab some lunch at a cafe. it was yummy. then we headed home.. we were too tired to do anything else in the city. once we got home we both took naps for a whiiiiiiile. then after that we had to get ready to go to a play that one of the girls from 'copy & pastry' was in! it was fun. scott, tory and myself went. she was in, 'The Importance of Being Earnest.' in my opinion, she stole the show! she's awesome!!

sunday, scott, tory and myself went to look at some miniature train thing up in the hills. they wanted to use the location for their video shoot early next month. i think it would be a neato location. it was a bunch of fun and so cute to see these little boys working on trains w/their dads. afterwards tory and i went to get some lunch and took zissou to the beach. he had a blast!!! i think he liked the traction that his feet had with the sand!! after that we went to ikea to try to find a lamp.. with no luck. we need a lamp in our main room for more lighting so i can read if i want to. the main light overhead is very light and two of them have gone out and we don't have a ladder or anything to replace them... sooo.. hmph. hopefully we'll get a lamp one of these days. tory and i left ikea with nothing. boo. after that we decided to go and get stuff to make bloody mary's. it was a fun and relaxing sunday.

i need to work on my resume so i can apply for some new jobs. i need a job where there is at least one window around me where i can look outside or something. i just don't like getting yell'd at for things i can't control. i want to be busy all the time and with this job i'm deff not that... hmmm.. one of these days...

hope you guys had a nice and fun weekend! love and miss you all!!

march madness baby!!!!!

hello!!!!!

yaaaaay for it being thursday!!! so ready for this week to be over with!! this daylight savings time thing is making it super hard to wake up this week!! i over slept this morning by 10 minutes and still did not want to wake up!! ahhh well, it is nice to get out of work and see daylight for at least a couple of hours!!

this week has been pretty crazy because of the NCAA and NIT games we have going on at Haas Pavilion. i am also not on Cal's e-mail list so i have to wait on my boss who gets in at like 11-12pm everyday, when i've been here since 9am... giving me little to no time to get groups together and then he gets mad... blehk. whateverrrrrr. this week has also been crazy because tory and i didn't have water from mon-wed... we got it back yesterday around probably 4pm or so? i don't know since i wasn't home, but i do know that we didn't have it when i left to go to work! it was soooooo gross.. i have no idea how people get around without running water!!! needless to say after i got home yesterday after work, i took the doggie (zissou) for a walk and then hopped in the shower!!!!! it was sooooo nice. we were going to have marinated chicken for dinner on monday, but since we didn't have any water we couldn't!! so we finally had the marinated chicken, broccoli, spinach salad, and a baked potato for dinner last night! it was tasty. thank goodness!! i was ready to have a nice meal at home! saturday we got a menu stuck in our door from a chinese place, so we got chinese for dinner--- it made me SICK!! i woke up at about 1am and was super dizzy.. went to the bathroom and started throwing up. i've never had food poisioning before.. but geeeez was it horrible!! we are never eating 'China Hut' again... i guess you should never get chinese food from a place that took half of the 'Pizza Hut' name...

we had a really fun weekend. friday the boys took off early and we headed out to go get some drinks. met up with steve and phil at the Bear's Lair, it's right on campus and is super fun! my old roomie, Kyle, works there and gave us some free beer! he's awesome!! we didn't stay out too late.. too tired from waking up early from the week!

saturday was a fun day! tory, scott, and myself went to go eat breakfast at this awesome place called 'Tomate Cafe' mmmmmmm it was sooo good. i got the two egg breakfast, which is two eggs (whichever way you want), meat (i got bacon!!!!!), potatos (full red potatoes), and toast!! mmm it was so good. tory and scott both got pancakes! afterwards they needed to go check out some estate sales for props for a music video they're going to be doing.. one yard sale we got there so late, the guy was giving away everything! score!! we got a george foreman grill (never used) for freeeee! that was about it though.. didn't really find anything else worth taking.. it was such a beaaautiful day!! we got home and ordered the chinese---blehk. i'm gonna write a review on yelp!

sunday.. i was still feeling pretty bad, dizzy.. blehk. it was horrible. i haven't thrown up in probably 7 or so years so the acid burned my throat really bad. well i spent most of the day cleaning.. trying to keep my mind off of my gross feeling, while tory went into the city to get some work done w/scott. when tory came home we took zissou to the dog park. it was such a beeeeeeeeautiful day!! we had a blast!! i can't remember what we ate for dinner.. but i KNOW we ate at home!! hahaha.

monday i helped tory, scott and joel with voices for the fed ex commercial they shot. http://www.poptent.net/media/10700 there is the link if you want to check it out! you can see me in the background in one of the shots!! the boys worked really late trying to get all of this done, so i went upstairs and went to sleep!!

tuesday tory was back on the set of Trauma! he found out that the episode him and scott are going to be in is the series finale!!!!!!!! so that is super exciting!!! i can't wait to see the final product!! tory said that the director thought he did a good job, which i'm sure he did!! he's awesome!! so that went really well and i will let you guys know when it's going to air on TV!!!

well, last night we went to a bar to celebrate st. patty's day! we had a guiness and then left because it was waaaaaay too crowded!! i love seeing everyone wear green!! :) makes me proud to be irish!!!!!

this weekend should be a fun one! i hope you guys are having a great day!! i'm so excited about march madness!!! i've been watching some of the games on-line at work today.. awesome!! :) well, have a grrrrrreat weekend!! love and miss you guys!!

Wednesday, March 10, 2010

whooo hoo wednesday!!

hello!!!!!

yay!! i'm so glad that it's wednesday already!! my boss wasn't at work yesterday and he's not going to be in today either because he is going to a food show with the rest of the people that work with me... not fair! so i get to be here all day... blehk. but oh well, it'll be nice to have the office to myself again! i had a grrrrrrrreat weekend!! i'll start from the beginning...

well, my car is finally here so i can drive places! it is a magical feeling! haha, it is very nice to be able to drive to work and anywhere i want, but i do miss tory dropping me off in the morning. ohhh well...

anywho, friday was a fun night!! (AND LAURA'S BIRTHDAY!!!!!) HAPPY BIRTHDAY AGAIN :) !!!!!! anywho, tory, scott, katie (scott's roommate) and myself got tickets to go see this play called 'Learn to be Latina'. it was hilarious. i don't think i've ever laughed so hard in a play... ever. it was just so unpredictable and soooo laugh out loud funny. it was awesome. two of the girls that were in tory & scott's web mini-series were in the play as well, so it was so awesome to go and support them! the coolest thing about the play location is that it is in the basement of a pizza place near campus. you can get pitchers of beer up top in the pizza place and bring them downstairs and have a beer while you watch the play! it is pretty awesome. i think it's my favorite place to go and watch the play. we've been to three plays at this place (it's called Impact Theatre). it's awesome, i always look forward to going to see plays here. they are always good!! here is the website: http://www.impacttheatre.com/ afterwards we went to a bar and had another beer and played shuffleboard. tory and i whooped up on scott and katie (like always).. haha, just kidding, but seriously. tory and i rule (for the most part) when we play something on the same team! we had such a fun night!!

saturday we ventured out to the city to watch tottenham play at our favorite new bar, Danny Coyle's. here is the website to this bar: http://www.dannycoyles.com/Photo_s.html if you go and click on the photos & press tab you can see pictures.. andddd you will notice that there are a couple pictures that are pretty much just baby blue.. FOR NORTH CAROLINA!!!!! we found out that this bar is not only a tottenham bar, but a UNC one as well... what a coincidence, huh?!?! pretty awesome.. needless to say, we're going to be spending a lot of time here!! anywho, the tottenham game was a draw... but hey, that's better than losing! steve (tory's old roommate) came and hung out with us for the day as well. we just walked around the haight/ashbury area grabbing some drinks here and there. it was such a beautiful day, so we tried to sit outside as much as possible. tory said that he heard about this outdoor bar a bunch, so we decided to go check it out. it's called Zeitgeist.. it was awesome. it had THE best bloody mary's ever!! they had green beans and olives on toothpicks that they put in your drink... tory was so happy that he got to have all of my olives. haha :) it was a lot of fun, so we hung out there for a bit and then headed back towards Danny Coyle's to watch the UNC/duke game. there were probably 20-30 if not more UNC fans.. it was craaazy packed!! i probably saw 2 dukies... grrrr. the game sucked... pretty upsetting, but ohhhhh well.. next year.. next year.. we headed home after the game because we were both exhausted. we had a great day!

sunday consisted of cleaning and cooking! i was trying to get ready for people coming over for the oscars!!! whoo hoo!! tory was busy working with scott location scouting, etc.. so that gave me a chance to vaccuum their downstairs area that was infested with zissou hair!! haha! so i ended up making guacamole, sausage balls, carrots and celery, cookies, bagel bites, chicken bites, and some chips and dip.. i think that's about it. we had about 10 people in total over, filled out oscar ballots and commented on what was going on. i had so much fun! i ended up winning the oscar ballot contest as well, so that was exciting!! i got 14 right!! whoo hooo!! it was nice that a female won best director/best film in the same year! about time a woman won best director!! it's only been 84 years!!!!! it was a very fun time to have a big group of people over for the first time!! i think it went well!!

monday i took the day off to help tory out on a shoot. my boss said it would be fine. we spent the day in oakland shooting for this fed ex spec commercial. it's a contest, so if they win it might actually become a commercial!! so hopefully, they'll win. it's a funny concept!! when we got to oakland, we noticed a bunch of big trucks and trailers.. Trauma.. the show that tory & scott are going to be on were shooting in the area as well!! haha.. so that was pretty funny. by the way, that went grrrrrrreat. the director even came up to tory and scott to say how much he liked their snicker's commercial!!! pretty neat stuff. they have to go back again next tuesday (16th). annnnywho, we got kicked out of one location they were planning on shooting at, so we had to go to the next shot. which worked out better because if we hadn't gone to this shot, we probably wouldn't of gotten done on time (especially before the rain started)!!! tory and scott went location scouting yesterday and said that they found an even better location in the city, so that's good!! it was such a fun day.. i wish i was doing this sort of this all day every day!! but ohhh well.. one of these days!!

tomorrow is my aunt's birthday!!!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY AUNT JANICE!!!! i hope you have an awesome one!! love and miss you!!! i hope i will get to see you soon!!!

well, i guess that's about it for my weekend.. it was a nice one!! i don't think we have any plans as of yet for this weekend, but i will be sure to update next week to let you know what we did!! hope everyone is having a great day!! love and miss you all!!

march?





i can't believe that it's march!! today i was on my lunch break and a squirrel started hissing at me... so, i've decided to start drawing pics of random stuff that happens to me while i'm at work, to help the time pass..
the first image was drawn yesterday because a co-worker was talking about how water doesn't go bad... and this funny image popped into my head....

ahhh!!!!!! crazy town!!

heyyyy everybody!!

don't forget to look down past the two year pictures for the post that i wrote that was about tory and i's two years!!!

anywho, we had an awesome weekend!! but first.. for the biggest news.. tory and now scott are going to be on the NBC show TRAUMA!!!!! this is soooooo crazy and exciting!! i couldn't be happier!! he'll be shooting for two days and have some lines!! their scene will be the opening scene before the credits roll, so that is super exciting!!!! i can't believe this is happening to them!! it's so crazy!!!! :) i'm really happy for them both!! i will let you guys know more details when i know more details!! tory is going to a fitting today to see if his costume fits, etc.. and he will be shooting tomorrow!! i don't even think he knows the times yet!! so insane!!

anywho, so this weekend was awesome. i think it was an accidental weekend off!! :) but am sooooooo glad that tory finally had some time off!! he deserves it, he always does!! friday tory worked pretty late trying to get this video treatment done for this band. after they finished, we headed to the city to give the treatment to the band.. the tickets were sold out though so we had to wait outside until we could pick somebody out who would be going to see the band directly. eventually some guy came by who was dropping off a package of what was probably their cd's.. so they handed off a treatment to him! hopefully it got into the right hands!! after that we just headed home and went to sleep! it was late!!

saturday was a very nice and relaxing day!! scott had to do some commercial sort of thing, so i think by the time he was done with that he was too tired to do any work.. which was good because then we got to have a nice work-free day!! we went and ate a mexican place w/steve. it was yummmmy. then afterwards we went to a bar and had a couple of beers. it was just so nice outside that we had to go to a bar and have a beer outside!! :) i love it here!! the weather is awesome!!!! after that, we dropped steve off at his place so he could head to the city to meet up with some people and tory and i headed back to our place. we had a relaxing evening, tory played guitar for about an hour and i just watched tv :) it was really nice to spend a day together.

sunday we woke up at 4am to go to a bar in the city, where they would be showing the tottenham (tory's fav soccer team) game at 5am!! it was deff the earliest i've ever been awake!! so, we headed out, we were even able to bring zissou (tory's doggie) because the bar was dog friendly!! so that was really nice!!! tottenham won!!!!! so that was awesome!!! afterwards we had to wait around for breakfast places to open.. haha, first time that has ever happened!! we had a good breakfast and then drove to a park (golden gate park). there we walked zissou around for about an hour or so.. threw him the ball and watched him paw at it like a cat.. haha. after that we drove around for maybe 10 or so minutes until we drove into a parking lot and took a nap in the car for an hour or so!! we were verrrrry tired!! haha!! after our nap we headed to the soccer fields where tottenham fans were playing against arsenal (tottenham's rival) fans. tory played for a bit of the game and did awesome!! he saved two goals and did a good drive down the field at one point! i was so proud of him!! tory is still a little sore from the game. silly boy! after that we headed home for the night and went to sleep very fast!! we had an awesome weekend. i wish he would take at least one weekend off a month.. but i know that would prob be too much to ask with him starting his own business, etc.. don't want to be a nagger now!!

in other news.. my car has finally made it to berkeley!!!!!! it was dropped off today about 11am.. so sadly i am at work and haven't seen it yet.. but i cannot freaking waitttttt!!!!! it will be so exciting!! not only that, but i have a bunch of goodies in my trunk.. including ROLLER BLADES!!! whoo hooo!!!! i can't wait!!! not too much other stuff is going on.. just working and all that fun stuff! laura's birthday is friday!!!! happy birthday!!!!!!! :) hope she has a great one!! wish i was there to help celebrate!!

we're going to have people over for the Oscars this weekend. i'm so excited for them!!!! i think we're going to try and stream it since we don't have cable or an antenna.. hopefully it will work!!!! i'm pretty pumped that they will actually be on at 5pm!!! sorry all you east coasters.. muahahaha! :)

well, hope you all have a great day and an even better weekend!! love and miss you all!!!
