Last Wk in Pix 2x2 - I drink a lot.

I haven't been doing a great job of sharing pictures in my blog, so I have a good handful to share.

Last Saturday a bunch of us went to the #LaCanvas party. It was carnival themed and packed! DJs were great, paid entry got you free drinks and treats all night. Plus there were carnival games to play for prizes.

I won this penguin! Isn't he adorbz! He's kind of a badass too.

Sonic and I attended a puppy brunch at my friend Karen's place. Sonic managed to pee and poop in her house, which was just great. Plus he ate one of the treats we brought for her dogs Jenny and Olly. Best houseguest ever.

I learned what lox is, and I put that shit all over my bagel!

Then we went shopping with Chris. Someone said Sonic should be in movies. I agreed, and we started practicing.

This weekend was St. Patty's Day Weekend, so a lot of drinking took place.

Happy Hour:

Irish Car Bombs:

And classy concoctions:

Now on official St. Patty's, I'm all ready to party but I don't particularly want to leave my bed. Eventually I'll get up and enjoy the gorgeous socal weather. But for now...

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

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 ...

Mrs. without the "r."

Of course I'm a feminist. Not that that needs explaining, but I absolutely believe in equal treatment and opportunities for both sexes. But being a feminist doesn't mean I burn bras every Tuesday night. I still adhere to a number of not-so-feminist-friendly traditions. For example, I hate taking the trash out. That's a "man's" job. I take the trash out when I must, but if I can ask Jersey Mike to do it , well that's just 10 times better. Typically, for me, a man's job is any job I don't want to do. Maybe that's not quite a tradition (more me leaning on societal norms to feed my laziness). But there's one tradition that, growing up, I always thought I'd be fine: Taking my husband's last name. My mother kept her maiden name when she married my father. She was born a Shute and felt that shouldn't have to change just because she found a cool guy to spend her life with. Growing up it wasn't confusing for me u...

The music died with Prince today

Today I had a breakdown at work. Like a damn fool. I had a horrible night, woke up exhausted, and decided to remain unplugged until I got to work. I wanted to take the morning slowly. I arrived at the office, sat down in my first meeting and heard "I'm just so sad about the news. We're going to write a few things about Prince today, Doriean are you able to do that?" So I'm sitting there like a dumbass asking "What happened?" Then it hit me. Maybe that wasn't the flu that caused Prince's plane to land suddenly last week. Maybe something was really wrong. Because he's gone. So then I'm listening to my assignments, trying to wrap my brain around selecting the best Prince songs (impossible). I'm talking like nothing is happening but tears are streaming. My editor asks if I need a minute and I run to the bathroom and bawl like an infant. I've been trying to listen to music all day. But nothing compa...
