Car Note

"Did you know that your right front tire is about to come off?"

Well duh!

Waaaaahhhhoooooooo...ooooooooos

Had lunch at Wahoo's today. This pic's for you Dave. Enjoy!

Freakin' Gas Prices

@*#%$! This is not cool!
License Plate Frame of the Day: "It's hard to be nice, It"s nice to be hard" LoL.

Jack on 405

If you ever find yourself in L.A., on the 405 Fwy, going North, wave hello to the Jack that's sitting under the overpass right before the National exit. I always do.

Blast Them

Weird but cool. You never know what you'll find on your drive home.

Cheech & Children

Susana and I attended the "Bronze Screen, 100 Years of Latinos in Movies" in Torrance today. I had a wonderful time learning about my culture and the struggles they've had to deal with in Hollywood. The evening ended with a surprise visit by Mr. Cheech Marin who presented 5 students with $1000 scholarships for their outstanding work in their pursuit of a career in the film industry.
A special thanks to Susana for inviting me along and to Karen for hooking us up with the tickets.

Plummer Puppy

Here's another picture I've wanted to take for months. I pass this spot regularly but never had time to stop until today. I'm not sure what the purpose of this puppy is but it sure does add a little something to the area.

The Promenade

Instead of sitting in the parking lot known as the 405 Fwy, I decided to make the best out of the situation and do some shopping. I ended up stopping by the Promenade at the Howard Hughes Center which turned out to be real nice. Next time there's traffic I'll have to explore a bit more.

Pablo in Paris

Yay, I got a letter from Pablo today all the way from Paris.
It reads:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Salut mes amis!
Quelle Voyage! La cité de Paris est magnifique --- il'y a trop des chose pour voir -- le vin, le vin, le vin .. mon dieu!!
J'ai passé le premier jour à la Musée D'Orsay avec les impressionists -- Monet, Van Gogh, Renoir ... ah les peintures sont incroyable... aprés ça nous allons à la Café de Flores pour prenons un verre du vin rouge et parler d'existentialisme comme les autres auteurs fameux (Sartre, Hemingway, etc..) ---
Le deuxieme et le troisieme jour -- ah bain --- on attend pour la rest de l'histoire!! Je partir avec Terry le demain matin et je reviens à Los Angeles lundi soir ----

à bientôt,

Pablo (le singe)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Go Lakers!

Felix and I airbrushed tattoos for the Staple Center today for the Lakers game. It was pretty cool 'cause we got to watch the game for free if we wanted. I ended up leaving right after the gig but Felix stuck around to see part of the game. I hope I end up going again; the energy in that place was amazing!

Zach's Birthday Party

Today we celebrated Zachy's birthday at his best friend's (Jeff) house in Playa Visata. I had a real nice time and absolutely loved their condo. I think we all had fun, especially Adrian.
A special thanks to Jeff for inviting us all into his home.

Rainbow

A group of us went out to dinner and a movie (Scary Movie 4) after work today. Right before we entered the cinema a real pretty rainbow appeared and we just had to take a picture. Good thing it has stopped raining for now!

Brussels, Belgium

Here's Pablo having a yummy waffle in Brussels. He got so excited with the waffle he ended up getting it on his leg. Looks like he'll need a shower when he gets back.

Pink StarFish Flowers

Awww...it's always fun getting surprised with flowers. Today Dave surprised Jess (my officemate) with flowers...very pretty flowers. How sweeeeeeeeeeeet!

Pablo in Aalst, Belgium

The first pictures of Pablo in Belgium are in, and it looks like he and Terry are having way too much fun out there! According to Terry, Pablo is a total Party Animal. Here's a picture of him trying to impress the local chicks. LoL! It looks like he'll be spending today recovering from his hangover.

Birthdays of the Day

My bro and I worked another birthday party in Beverly Hills which turned out to be a total drag 'cause we had to stand outside in the scorching sun for 5 hours! I'm not a huge fan of being in the sun so this was a very bad experience for me. Now I looked stupid 'cause I was wearing a half sleeve shirt. The last thing I need is to walk around with half tanned arms. Argh!

Anyway, on a brighter note, Happy Birthday to Zachy who turns 26 today!! WooHoo! Also, congrats to Zachy and Arielle for their recent engagement! I know you're both going to have a beautiful life together! Cheers!

Ta-Da!

Here's Jess showing us another one of her hidden talents. Can you tell that Casual Fridays brings out the goofy side of us? Other things that happened today:
- Pablo left for his trip to France/Belgium with Terry,
- I started to get sick, and
- Marco got his birthday gift, a PDA.

NKOTB

I think Jess and I have become obsessed with the New Kids' song "Tonight" or maybe it's a result of inhaling toxic fumes that seep through our walls from the company next door.

Jess, I uploaded this pic just for you. Enjoy!

Oops

I think I got up a little too early today! I walked into the office as I always do and put my keys on the new hooks right above the light switches...well, sort of.

Other things that happened today:
- We had a farewell lunch for, one of our best RA's, Gloria,
- A small group of us celebrated Marco's 33rd birthday at Island's,
- Jess and I got reacquainted with New Kids on the Block, and
- I realized that I can't function without a cup of coffee in the morning.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY LUCA!!

Stop Already!

Wow, it's really rained this year! It seems like it's rained at least once a week for a while. I do wish it would stop though.

Another Year Gone By...

We celebrated Marco's 33rd birthday at Black Angus today even though his b-day isn't until Wednesday. I can't believe a year has gone by already! Once again Marco was treated to his favorite gifts...Fry's and Best Buy gift cards.
