everyday

A friend had a stand-up performance at the Ice House Comedy Club in Pasadena. Who would say no to a good laugh? Or as he put it; “In tough times, we must laugh, or die trying…”

Jack in the Box makes the best milkshakes ever! It is also awesome that I live within walking distance to a 24 hour Jack in the Box. To make the best milkshake ever even better, just take the shake home and add some dark rum, awesome way to end a night!

Since I have big plans for next year, I decided to get a new place so I can save some money. Gave my notice on my apartment and have to be out by September 18.

I suffer from repetitive strain injury, it started some 9 or so month ago. My left wrist started to hurt, it hurts like hell from time to time, but there is really nothing I can do about it. I went to the doctor and he told me to cool it with ice, Ive never actually tried that but when it hurts the most I use a wrist band which make it feel a little better. I figured I got it cos I often work in front of the TV with the laptop in my lap. I always thought it was a little weird though, cos it was my left wrist that hurt, and not my right, which i use for the mouse. I have not been thinking too much about it, thought it might had something to do with previous injuries.

The wrist had been fine for 3 months, not been hurting at all, but recently I’ve felt it again, and it was almost unbearable over the weekend. Back to work on Monday, and it totally hit me! It’s all about the keyboard! I was working in a PC environment for the longest time and thats when my wrist started to hurt. Since April, Ive only been working with Mac’s and my wrist has been fine. I recently got a new job and I’m back with working on a PC, and my wrist hurts! Silly you might think, but it is actually true! Check out the keyboards…

I’m using a lot of shortcuts when I work, and on a PC keyboard, you have to press down the Ctrl key. On a Mac, you use the Command/Apple key that is located right next to the space key. See how far apart those keys are and imagine how much easier it is to press the command key on an apple while pressing one, two or three other keys at the same time, compared to how much you must stretch out your hand on a PC keyboard. I have large hands for being a girl, I cant imagine how hard it must be for the girls (and guys) with petite hands!

I tried to reset the shortcuts on the keyboard at work, but I couldt figure out how to do it. I think they should invest in a Mac for me. As it is now, I’m using two hands for the shortcuts so I dont have to stretch, and so whats the point in shortcuts then? The whole purpose with shortcuts is to work quicker, but now I have to remove my right hand from the mouse to do a shortcut. Maybe I should do some calculations on how much faster I would get my work done and present for them that they would actually save on buying me a Mac! Is it possible to use a Mac keyboard on a PC?

On Saturday nights during the summer weeks, they show classic movies at the Hollywood Forever cemetery, it is a little creepy watching a movie at the cemetery, but it is lots of fun! There is a dj playing before and after the movie and people bring picnic. Everyone is happy and it’s a great atmosphere, a nice way to spend a Saturday night!
This Saturday they showed the Muppet Movie and everyone was super excited! My friend got to the cemetery two hours before the movie to get us a good spot. Unfortunately, it turned out that just about every single person in Los Angeles wanted to see the movie so it was sold out by the time he got to the gates. We were all a little bummed out for a minute, we had planned such a great evening!
But… it didnt take long before someone went to Blockbusters to rent the movie and we all meet up at a friends place and had our own picnic and big screen movie screening!

Elton John is visiting the Muppets!

We had two birthday girls so we paused the movie for some cake, Kermit loved it!

A great move and an awesome night!

Me and Kermit, you can call us Lea…

It was my friends birthday, and what would be better than to spend the night at the beach with picnic and chill to a free concert at Santa Monica Pier?

The police was there with their beautiful horses… (I still want to train police horses, and should probably look into that some day)

…to make sure this would not happen.

They are actually pretty liberal about it on Thursday nights, they let you drink, as long as it is out of plastic cups (no glass allowed on the beach). One officer came by us once and I thought we would have our wine taken away from us, but they just asked us to blow out the candles that we had lit.
Birthday girl!

The end.

We went to an art show last night, it had a superheroes theme, lots of people and lots of fun!

Beers and fries at Fathers Office after the show. Fathers Office has got lots of fun and different beers on tap, a great place to go to try something new, and the fries are oh so good!

I dropped my phone in a sink full of water, I dont know what I was trying to do… call someone and wash my hands at the same time? While I was just staring at it, my friend quickly fished it up and saved it. I later found this photo of me in my phone that he sneaked in.

Venice Beach is also know as “Muscle Beach” and has a outdoor gym, Arnold the Governator used to work out here back in the days.

A bunch of bums and hippies are living in Venice, so this sign is not unusual (W. Bush tweaked out as Bin Laden):

Beers and burgers for lunch/dinner.

Since there’s only bums and tourists hanging out at Venice Beach, you can do all sort of fun stuff that you really shouldnt… If the guards come to tell you off you can just start speaking your native language, pretend you are a tourist and dont understand what KEEP OFF means.

I think this dude was on his way to the gym, he didnt seem to be in a hurry and stopped for a photo.

We quickly moved on from thinking Leo would ever have that kind of body or outfit when the huge bottles of Coronas caught our attention.

We walked out to catch the sunset. Some fishermen kids on the pier totally blew us away with their stories about when they were tigers and wolves and how they used to eat the sharks, so we missed when the sun actually set.

Stopped at the 99cent store on the way home and bought snacks 🙂

It had to be done and it was just a matter of time.

I was gonna get my hair cut about a year ago, but someone told me to donate it to locks of love, an organization that makes wigs for kids. I saved a little more and kind of got used to the long hair. But I had enough and got it cut!
I was gonna go for the full on mohawk, but decided to keep it a little longer on the side in consideration to my co-workers.
