Last Week in Pix/2x2: Less Tricks more Treats

Ah! I'm so behind on blogging! I'm sorry, please forgive.

This weekend was pretty eventful and yesterday I was exhausted. But...No Excuses November. So I'm going to suck it up and do better.

Last Wednesday was Halloween. I did not put my Ganja Fairy costume back on, Sonic hated his dragon costume (observe):

And Adan wasn't into wearing his costume either. Absolutely no children came to our house. It didn't feel like Halloween at all!

Later in the week I met up with my long-lost-friend Blaire! She's been living in LA for months and I just found out in September. I can't believe how grown up she is now, and I'm so proud of her for coming out here and chasing her dreams!! There will be tons more pictures of me and Blaire.

Saturday was date dos with Michael. It was a blasty blast! We went to the LACMA for the Stanley Kubrick exhibit. And though some may think that a museum date is lame (you know who you are) it was actually pretty perfect. We learned cool things about each other, and being in a public place did not halt the PDA.

TMI? LOL. So far, really good. I know, I know. I disgust myself!

2x2

Last week I learned:

1) First (and second) dates can be amazing

2) My hair needs some additional TLC. This week I will be looking up ways to fix that

This week I'm looking forward to:

1) VOTING! Well, I already voted by mail. But I'm looking forward to YOU GOING TO VOTE TODAY and hopefully our President's re-election.

2) Listening to Christmas music WAY early

Bonus) Date three. :)

Have a good week, loves!!

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 ...

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 ...

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,...
