ENGAGE

PATRICK STEWART

15 Things Since My Last Post.  Go!

1. I’m  25 and loving it!
2. Lost is the best TV show ever.  Every time I talk with someone about it, they say how good it is, and that they are just waiting for when it turns bad.  Here’s one guy that think that will never happen.
3. One time, my neighbor was taking a picture, and she aimed the camera the wrong way.  So she is looking through a viewfinder that doesn’t exist, completely showing me/others the LCD of her huge eye, and she takes the picture.  Proof.
4. Vacations are something I have always said are for wusses.  I’m thinking that after two years without one I am a big idiot.
5. Every time I drive on Mulholland or anywhere in the hills, I am shocked.  This time it was both Mulholland and Bel-Air.  Bel-Air Rd is a windy incline for about 30 minutes, with houses that are so big they could be manufacturing airplanes in them.
6. Captain Jean-Luc Picard was spotted in Beverly Hills at Prego on Saturday, September 24th with what I presume must be his new 1st officer.  His voice is just as majestic in person.  In terms of celebrity bang-for-your-buck, Patrick Stewart is hard to beat.  Star Trek. X-Men.  Family Guy/American Dad.  Excalibur.  Robin Hood: Men In Tights.  Extras.  The beat goes on.
7. As of right now there are two keyings on my car.  My gas cap and the letters ‘DOG TAG’ etched in the rear.  wtf.  I have filed a police report with the Beverly Hills Police Department, who are very nice officers, however I don’t know that there is anything I can do about this.
8. Rawja and Samwar, two amigos from San Antone, flew in for the weekend.  I think I did a pretty good job of showing them everything I could in basically a 2 day period. Libations and food were a plenty.
9. My penchant for Sushi grows strong every day.  Sushi Roku on 3rd is delish.  Raw fish?!  Hells yes.
10. Earthquake insurance has been acquired for my apartment.  I know, I was risking it these last 3 months.  However, now that I have migrated my auto-insurance out here, it was a natural addition.  At the time, it’s like "Hmmm if we really had an earthquake, I’m sure my stuff would be fine."  And then two seconds later it’s like "Hmmm I bet those Hurricane victims said the same thing about flood insurance." 
11. Not many people showed up to my birthday party.  This is okay, because the people that showed up brought their A game.  Their party A game. 
12. Netflix is still rocking.  I have slowed down my frequency of movie watching, probably due to other things picking up, however their rating system has already given me 10+ movies I would never have thought to watch, that I loved, just within the last couple of months.
13. Another celebrity sighting!  This time, Selma Blair.  I know, she’s not super A-List, like Patrick Stewart, but she is still pretty cool.  I actually conversed with her for a couple of minutes, which was pretty interesting.  She seemed pretty cool and laid back.
14. Sunday was a day filled with soccer, gardening, and groceries.  That’s right, PPV live match of Chelsea v Liverpool at 8am at a friend’s in Santa Monica. 
15. Really.  Gardening.  I pulled up a bunch of roots and weeds and soil that was all old and nasty.  I then re-soiled the whole bed, dug a small ditch for 19 bricks to be lined around it, and watered/fertilized everythign down.
