Thank God it's Friday!





So, I have finally joined the bandwagon and made the jump from Xanga to Myspace to Facebook and now to this interesting phenomenon we like to call the "blog spot". I have refused to join this so-called "twittering community", simply because no one really needs to know what the heck I'm doing, down to the milisecond of the day. As far as those who do twitter, I am not judging you. But, to each his own.


Being that it is Friday-- I will give you folks some interesting highlights of my week (cue the Entertainment Tonight theme song) :

Bagdad Cafe- a really interesting 1980's film, about a foreign traveller and her quirky adventures, while residing at a rundown motel in the middle of the Nevada desert. I must admit, at first glance it looked to be a bit hokey. But the characters are loveable, and it's sure to bring a smile to your face and a warm feeling to your heart. Not to mention there's a song in there (Calling you by Jevette Steele), that will absolutely blow you away-- very touching and emotional indeed. This movie is kind of hard to find, so the best place I can recommend is the local library. But you're welcome to browse around at your local video store.



California Pizza Kitchen-I can't tell you how much I LOVE this restaurant. Since I'm a young and often lazy 23 year old, I don't really cook. Needless to say,this place is an affordable little outlet for me and my friends to have a good time, and get some fantastic grub. My newest obsession is the pesto penne with chicken. You're probably wondering why I would order pasta at a pizza establishment-- trust me, there's no need to wonder, this dish is amazing! When I'm hungry for a taste of something other than pizza, this little slice of heaven is a wonderful change of pace.


Right now through the end of summer, CPK has an interesting promo. It will either keep you coming back for their fine dishes or have you fantasizing at the chance of winning $50,000! Yep, you heard right. CPK bailout plan-- how about that Mr. President? Of course you can win some other "frou frou" prizes-- one of them being 10-50% off your meal. But I think that large sum of cash has my name on it. After finishing my meal, the server officiously hands me a sealed yellow envelope, instructing me to not open it until my next visit. I can either choose to see what type of prize lies inside, and forfeit my prize altogether. Or... I can keep coming back with that sealed yellow envelope, dining on delicious food and hoping at the chance of this mega prize. Needless to say, the yellow envelope is stuffed in wallet, hoping at the chance for its precious purpose to be revealed. CPK anyone!?




Swine Flu- I don't get all the hype. ? ? ? This supposed "pandemic" is just another brainwashing tactic, put on by the good ol' government of the United States of America (*ahem* Observe- Y2K, weapons of mass destruction, terrorism, Sarah Palin, economic bailout)-- I think I'm seeing a trend.


My take on this whole situation... wash your hands, and take off that damn awful hospital mask- you look like a fool!


Good night!
