Espanol Conversacion!

A conversation between my housekeeping friend at work and I:
Me: Hola Hermano
Him: Hola Amiga
Me: Como fue su fin de semana?
Him: Ohh muy bien. Yo tome un poquito de cerveza
Me: Cerveza?
Him: Oh si, un poquito
Me: Cerveza es muy mal por su salud
Him: Yo se
Me: Yo no tomo cerveza
Him: No?
Me: Si, por que yo soy una Mormon
Him: Tu estas loca! Mormones son locos!
Me: Que iglesia vas?
Him: Catolico! Por su puesto!
Me: Si? Catolico?
Him: Si...NO cambio, yo me muero Catolico!

Oh traditions. Will he ever learn being Mormon is the bomb.com? I pray he will.

Happy 18th Beth!

She's legal folks. Eat your heart out!

B'dog

Happy Birthday Brent! May you always be able to do the splits.

Asian Persuasion!

Anyone who remotely knows me, knows I LOVE to sing karaoke. And ESPECIALLY w/ my Asians + Davia roommates from HP 20 (Lizzie Lee not pictured.) I didn't even know Korea-town exists in LA but oh it does. Nothing is more gratifying than belting out Whitney Houston's "The Greatest Love of All" or rapping "Jump" by KrisKross w/ a Korean soap opera playing on the t.v. screen. Nothing. I forget the name of this place, but it's on 8th St. and Western off the 10. Highly recommend it. Guarantee I will be back. Kimchee breath and all.

Skate Ramp/Halloween

These last couple of weeks dave rediscovered skate ramp engineering.

The Walk

So my dad and I had a Yes on 8 "protest-acular" walk tonight.  He was my secret service protector in case a rock was thrown or bullet shot.  We walked from Capo Beach to Doheny and our "poll" indicated a 70% yes, 30% no from passerbys.  One of the nay-sayers was a King Noah look a like, you know, the one from the Church art.  Looked just like him.  He looked right at me, said "That i-ths ridiculou-ths,"  stuck his nose high in the air as he turned his head back and waddled away on his bike.  Pretty humorous.  I had a good chuckle about it w/ secret agent dad. Thinking about organizing a "Race for 8" on Saturday.  Any takers?

Prop 8

ATTN ALL CALIFORNIANS: Please read this article and vote YES on PROP 8. That is all.

Hey I watched this video w/ the Facers and Fieldings a few weeks ago, and was LOL'ing just thinking about it today.   Hopefully those of you from the 1996-1999 IM'ing era will appreciate it.

Wow, I've slacked BIG time on posting the rest of our Euro trip '08. My bad. This is what happens when you have three jobs and only Sunday mornings to blog, which will end when Church starts at 9 am in January. 1 pm Church definitely spoiled me....Alas, back to the Euro-excursion. Next stop: Biarritz via San Sebastian. A little Spain, a little France. Perfect combo.
