Last Week in Pix/2x2

Hey kiiiiiids! A good handful of things happened last week, so let's get to it:

Last week, Christopher took us to a Laker game!!

Yes, I have great disdain for the Lakers. But I'm not going to pass up the NBA in VIP, OMG!

Had to sport the Thunder shirt.

If I'm not mistaken, this is the first game the Lakers won this season. Apparently I'm good luck for Lakers.

I hope all of you went out to vote! I am completely overjoyed that my POTUS gets four more years to solidify the great work he's done.

Friday I went to see 'Skyfall' at the Arclight Cinerama Dome in Hollywood.

I've been to the Arclight before, but never in the dome. It was superb! The movie was incredible and so was the company.

Saturday I represented Yoga Shelter at the North Hollywood Farmers Market!

It was actually a lot of fun reaching out and talking to strangers about yoga. I got to spend time with a few awesome yogis and drank some juice I'm sure had more than just natural sugar in it because, despite having gotten only 4 hours of sleep, I was WIRED.

And now...the 2x2!

Last week I learned:

1) About the Divine Fits and Gary Clark, Jr. I highly recommend.

2) I'm pretty competent in Adobe Illustrator. Yay, me!

This week I'm looking forward to:

1) This is a back-track "I'm looking forward to" because last week this time I didn't know it was going to happen, but yesterday I got to see my high school friend Anna, aka 'Gremlin'! It was so cool to see her all grown up.

2) Saturday. It will be my first day free of work in twelve straight days. It will consist of the final Twilight movie and a great deal of alcohol.

Have a wonderful week, loves! I hope it goes quickly...for both our sakes.

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 ...

How Macklemore's "White Privilege" Made Me Feel, Explained Using Chocolate Pudding

It was hard for me to put this into words. It's hard to explain. If you are an OKnLA reader, you read my last post and you know that I'm exhausted. I'm so tired of trying to tell people who just don't seem to (want to) get it that it's not OK what's happening. You know what I do like? Pudding, specifically the chocolate variety. So I put this thing together in an effort to describe how it feels to hear "White Privilege," how it feels to see Kylie Jenner darken her skin and plump her features, how it feels to hear Iggy Azalea on the radio, how it feels to learn that Mylie Cyrus invented twerking ... Maybe it will make sense to you. Maybe it won't. But it's something I had to do. So here it is. you are a chef. you love to make things. it's your outlet. it's how you express yourself. one day, you concoct an amazing recipe for chocolate pudding. it's so good. so very good. the kids, they love it! then, health nuts an...
