Night Studies are Tough!


Working a night study is tough on everyone but it is especially brutal on our poor subjects. Here’s Amanda after our pilot study. Poor thing…Sorry Manda!

Farmer John Turns 25!


We had a great time celebrating John’s 25th Birthday at their new pad in Redondo Beach. Caitlyn brought some delicious cookies that were enjoyed while we played with the Wii. It turns out that I still suck at video games…waaa. I did have a real nice time though.

Helpful Co-workers


It’s so nice to know that I work with people that are always ready and willing to help each other out. The other day Amanda’s shoe started to fall apart and Paul quickly got some super cement glue and ta-da…good as new.

4.5 Quake


What a rude awakening! I woke up at 1am to a 4.5 earthquake centered here in the valley. I should know better than to move to Northridge! Rose will be staying with me tonight because she is a bit shaken up. I don't blame her, it felt pretty strong. My poor Smuckers and Lily were really frightened by it to.

Latin Tees



It looks like the Northridge Fashion Center now has a cart that sells “latin” tees. They’re pretty funny too. Rose ended up buying the “Carpul” tee for my bro. My personal favorite was the “Got Pupusas?” tee. I may just go back and buy it one of these days.

No Freakin’ Way!!


OMFG! I had another car accident with Bridges!! Almost 2 years to the day!!
Ok so this is how it went down.
It’s 6:30 am and I’m going south on Hayvenhurst. I come to the intersection of Havenhurst and Parthenia when a truck going northbound makes a U-turn right into my car!! Then to top it all off, the guy keeps on going right after hitting me!! The only thing I could think was “Hell NO!” I quickly looked to see what direction he was headed and sped after him. I followed the guy while honking my horn like crazy. Then a couple turns and blocks later his car came to a dead stop. I rolled down my window and he looked at me all clueless…like he didn’t just ram right into my car! I screamed “WHY DID YOU TAKE OFF? YOU JUST HIT ME PRETTY HARD. WHY DID YOU TAKE OFF??” He just looked at me clueless but handed me his info when I stepped out and asked for it. Thank god I had my camera with me (lol, you guys know I always do) ‘cause I was able to take pictures of the vehicles. The guy didn’t really say a word to me, just sat in his car and waited for god knows what. The cops refused to come since there was no bloodshed and it took a while to get my car towed to a shop. It didn’t help that my cell phone battery died right after the accident.
Anyway, his car looked like it sustained minimal damage but refused to start up after he came to a stop (*whisper* it’s an American car). I’m still alive but my car is once again in surgery for the next 3-4 weeks (I’m guessing). I think after this Bridges may have to go bye bye.
