So George and I went to go see Pink Martini at the Hollywood Bowl and it was great. The following are videos of the performance.

Que Sera Sera

Bolero with fireworks....

So only one complaint, after the performance George stood in line (and was first) so that we could get the bands autographs...which we did. Everyone was really nice except that China Forbes (the lead singer of Pink Martini) totally ignored me. She didn't even say hi....she was talking to some guy the whole time and was acting like a total loser! Thomas Lauderdale and the rest of the amazing band...were great...love them! True musicians.

BELOW: China ignoring me...Thomas being awesome and smiling for the camera :-D

Potty Time

There is nothing more in this world that I hate more than public restrooms. They are all gross. I really wish we could just dump everything out once a day at our own personal toilet. Instead we have bathroom's anywhere and everywhere possible because God made a fatal error in designing the human body.
But a normal trip to the bathroom goes something like this:
First you go to grab the diseased ridden handle that everyone's hands have been on before they go to the bathroom...bad start. (also am curious why we don't wash our hands BEFORE we go to the bathroom...)
Then once you are in the stall you go to grab one of those seat protectors kindly provided by the management and proceed to pull it out. Except somehow you happened to get a wrong angle on the toilet seat cover and end up tearing it in half or only pulling a portion out. So you crumble it up and throw it in the toilet. Finally, after a few tries, you get one all in one piece. So you put it on the toilet and start to pull down everything. Then as you sit on the toilet, a small breeze, catches the toilet seat cover and as you are in mid squat it falls into the toilet and BAM you butt is now on the EXPOSED toilet seat! You then start to freak out, but then you really have to pee so you just go and hope that the germs and diseases don't have enough time to latch onto your butt.
Then you go to get toilet paper and of course, it's not there. So as every smart woman would do, you grab another toilet seat cover. of course, this one comes out perfectly after you have relieved your urge to pee.
So you bundle it up and use it to wipe. Not really as effective as toilet paper but better than nothing, and better than having to either ask someone to pass you toilet paper, or running to another stall with your pants only buttoned...not zipped...to get toilet paper only praying that someone does not come into the bathroom.
Once that is taken care of you then get up and put everything back in it's place. This is my favorite part because now I get to tuck everything back in to perfection and I can look sharp again.
So as you turn around to flush you realize that you don't want to touch the flushing mechanism. So now you are in a wild west shootout with the flushing mechanism. But wait! you are smarter than this, you use your foot! so now you proceed to lift your foot up, all the while not wanting to touch the walls of the bathroom stall trying to keep your balance with the 3 inch heels that you put on today (damnit!). And just as you are about to fall you flush and are safe!
So now, it is time to go wash your hands. You exit the stall and turn the water on, you look for soap and you start to pump the dispenser, for every 10 pumps you get one drop. After about 60 pumps you get enough to wash your hands, but of course the little timer on the water has now turned the water off. So with soap in your hands you push down the knob. Hands go under the water, and of course it is freezing cold. How effective is cold water? So hands a now washed and you go to get some paper towels. And because the public bathroom is out to get you, it is a motion sensor one, so you wave your hand in front of the little red light and a sheet comes out. But you want more than one, you want like 3 or 4. So you pull off the paper and start waving your hand again in front of the red light. No luck though, you have to wait for the red light to stop blinking before you can get another one. So you wait and get another one, but you don't want to wait again so you just settle with the 2 towels and be on with it.
Now you are faced with the door again! Fortunately, you were smart enough and kept the paper towel you used so that you can open the door. So once you open the door you wedge it with your foot in order to keep it open and you realize that there is nowhere to throw the paper towel and because you have just been through hell and back just so you could pee, you THROW the paper towel one the floor and march out of there!
Gosh, I wish we only had to go once a day because in another 30 min. I'll have to pee again because I drank so much DAMN water today!

TMI

Why do people feel the need to give you all the information in their life. Really, I don't give a shit! I don't want to know that you are on your period, or every single detail that happened on your vacation. I didn't get to go anywhere, I stayed here doing nothing. Just working and going about my daily duties. I also DO NOT want to see the damn PHOTOS and if you try to show me I am going to make some excuse to leave! I realize that we all have an innate need to share things with other human beings. We are the only species that does this mostly because it is about the human connection. But please, make sure that the person you share everything with wants to hear about it.
I chew my boyfriend's ear off because I know I can and I know he wants to know. But I don't want to hear about a co-workers many blood donations. I also don't want to see the blood donor card. I just don't.
Maybe it is also because they want to fill the empty conversations with things that are insignificant. They have nothing better to say so they start to reveal all the things in their life because it is the only thing that they can really think of to talk about.
I don't want to know what size shoe you wear and why the shoes you have on now are painful. I don't want to know that ever since you started drinking juice drinks from Jamba Juice, that you gained 5 pounds. I DON'T CARE.
I only have a few people that I actually want to know things about. If you know you are not on that list, then I DON'T CARE!
Thank You

Crocodile Zapatos

So, I have noticed lately that people are wearing these rubber shoes called Crocodile somethin or other. Anyway, they are very bright and weird looking...you have little kids to grown men wearing these shoes and its weird. I saw this one guy with orange ones and he looked like a duck! quack...
Not to mention this goes along with my other belief that little kids should be wearing shoes that support their feet. These shoes don't look like they do that...
Anyway, they are ugly and the new trend and it's retarded.

That's all I have to say about that.

oh ya, and they cost $35...

Go Go Speed Racer

It has been a little bit since my last posting, mostly because I was busy. But lately as I drive around there has been something that I have noticed.
Here I am cruising at about 60 mph on the freeway because while traffic is not bumper to bumper, it is however "thick".
Then something catches my eye in my rear view mirror...it's go go speed racer and he's (automatically a he) weaving in and out of traffic. The worst part of it is when he starts to tail gate a person who obviously is not going slow by choice. Why would go go speed racer pick on someone like this.
Then they pick on the wrong person, the person who then starts to go slower because now go go speed racer is tail gating them. At this point the farther you are the better because you don't want to get involved in this.
There must be something so overly aggressive in go go speed racers personality that he feels the need to tail gate people in traffic...the funny thing is...they are just stupid! Take a physics class dumbass!
