Sunday 2x2

This week I don't really remember what I learned. The memory of Monday through Wednesday is a total blur as I recovered from the Vegas weekend.

I learned a few things at Social Media Week Los Angeles. There were a lot of murmurs that Facebook is on the way out, especially with the tease of the new Myspace. Being a music nerd and hopelessly attracted to Justin Timberlake, I'm SUPER excited about the Myspace comeback.  Thoughts?


Secondly, this week I learned how to kick ass!! Sarahi hosted a Divas in Defense class at our house. Our instructor, the muscle-bound Chris, taught us how to defend ourselves should we be attacked. It was fun, and I actually learned a lot. I really should be more observant and careful when I'm out alone. If you're interested in hosting a class, check out www.divasindefense.com.


Next week I'm looking forward to going back to yoga!! My pulled groin muscle finally feels up to it, as long as I take it easy. Also, I received three new pairs of yoga pants. I'm so ready!

Another thing I'm looking forward to next week is the beginning of Outgoing October. It's going to be an adventurous month where I'm going to try my very best to push myself out of my comfort zone any chance I get.

This should be interesting!

Nothing Will Replace Gossip Girl, But Riverdale Is Close or Teen Shows I've Watched Lately

Each day I live and breathe, I'm inching closer to a time when I will no longer understand and will therefore lose the capacity to truly love a teen drama. But I'm not there yet, and I'm (still) searching for something to fill the void Gossip Girl  left when it was revealed that Lonely Boy was the one putting the words in Kristin Bell's mouth. Gossip Girl first aired after an episode of America's Next Top Model.  I remember this because my mother and I used to watch ANTM together in the days before girls started auditioning just so they could meet Tyra. But neither of us could leave the room once Gossip Girl's  pilot began. We were both hooked immediately, and it would be a show we enjoyed together even after I left home for another city hours away, and then another state halfway across the country. GG was corny at times, and it had its pitfalls (how did Chuck Bass start Season 1 by trying to rape little Jenny and end it by kicking off what would become ...

Cold War Kids iHeart Radio Album Release Party - My Quick Opinions

I've seen the Cold War Kids twice now, and my favorite thing about seeing them is they love to let people see them for free in Los Angeles. A free show is always the right idea. This time I got to see them at the iHeart Radio stage in Burbank, California. It's a very cool space, and the staff is super nice. Part of this iHeart Radio streaming party was a line of questioning from iHeart Radio personality. It was cool to hear lead singer Nathan Willett talk about his love for Los Angeles and desire to use their new album, LA Divine,  to set the record straight about the city's perception. He told Billboard the album is "the best version of what [they've] always done," and I agree. There's nothing particularly outstanding about the new album. There's no new, adventurous sound. The freshest thing about LA Divine is the effect the tumultuous year that was 2016 had on the lyrics. For example, Nathan told an amazing story about an art piece in New ...

I'm tired of trying to explain

I went on a trip home to Oklahoma last week. I brought Jersey Mike for his first real visit to the state and his first time meeting my friends. It was fantastic and fun. I'd love to tell you all about it. But I can't right now. I can't focus on anything right now.  Upon returning to Los Angeles, I logged onto Twitter and started seeing headlines about the Charleston shooting. I immediately turned it off. At first I felt wrong about doing it. At first I felt like I should face it head-on, get angry, put on my activist hat and get to work.  But I didn't. I couldn't do it.  I'd just gotten home from being surrounded by love. Yes, being back in Oklahoma I heard conversations filled with intolerance. I needed to point out and shut down a few comments that were insensitive and just plain rude. That's something I've gotten used to when visiting home. I'm surrounded by liberals and hippies here in Los Angeles. We are a melting pot of colors,...
