Ok, still dumb and now I lack festivity? How is one a good dinner companion WITHOUT being merry I ask?

SO HOLY AMAZING

2009-01-15T19:36:00.000-08:00

This is what Stevie Wonder meant when he said "That's what friends are for."

So What the H?

2009-01-14T13:31:00.000-08:00

Dear Predictive Text on My Cell Phone,

When I press the 4 button just once I don’t mean H. I thought you would have learned that by now. At least you've begun to acknowledge how I spell my name. Thanks.

Sincerely,
Broek

So I'm Not Deleting Compare People Emails Now That I Know What They Say

Your friends have voted on your strengths and weaknesses:

STRENGTHS:

prettiest
best dinner companion
most desired

WEAKNESSES:

best mannered
smartest

It seems a social networking site application is telling it like it is through emails. What a wealth of information. The last one said my weaknesses were "tech savvy" and "smartest". I've grown dumber and ruder since. I may need to click "More details".

So Re-occuring Theme

2009-01-14T12:13:00.000-08:00

BLOOD. It started with watching There Will Be Blood on Thanksgiving and escalated from there.

Made Fake Blood with my nieces.
Watched Blood on the internet.
Free Blood came to play in LA last week.
Download of the song Blood Bank came to my inbox this morning.

So 2009

2009-01-07T14:18:00.000-08:00

Speaking of Katt Williams this is what 2009 is about for me.

So Dance

2009-01-07T14:10:00.000-08:00

What Katt Williams testified... You now recognize.

So Paradise

2008-10-08T23:11:00.001-07:00

What's paradise to you?

So Bananas

2008-10-01T18:27:00.000-07:00

Shout out to bananas.

So LA Club Gym

2008-09-30T00:43:00.000-07:00

My friend gave me a year gym membership to a sports club in Los Angeles. Expect many yields from this place.

Imagine walking briskly through a large near empty three story gym, stopping in a wide open hall perusing a giant schedule board a good thirty feet from the nearest equipment and this conversation taking place with Wayne, a long haired fidgety Asian man in his 50s who has appeared out of nowhere.

Him: So the yoga classes...etc etc etc...they're pretty hard.
Me: Oh, Ok, Thanks.
Him: What's your name?
Me: Broek. What's your name?
Him: Wayne. Are you going to the Playboy Mansion Halloween Party?
Me: Um, no I'm not.
Him: Oh they're my neighbors so...etc etc etc backpedal to avert the obvious status drop...they're pretty loud.
Me: You probably appreciate the view though, huh?
Him: Oh yeah, it's crazy there but no, I'm not into those types of girls.
Me: Oh. Yeah.*
Him: Ok. Well see you later.
Me: Bye Wayne.

*Clearly my being a 5'9 blonde didn't register at all from BFE work out area over there.

So The Jerry Springer Show Called Me

2008-09-29T18:27:00.000-07:00

This evening Greg from the Jerry Springer Show called to see if I wanted to be on the show. Mind, I wasn't contacted due to paternity test eligibility or my man stealing, but because someone who had my phone number back in the 90s was on the show. I told Greg my life was pretty stable for the most part and wouldn't generate the sort of drama necessary for the show. He said "Well if you have any relationships with people that makes you eligible." True, Greg. He asked if I knew anyone else to refer and mentioned a free trip to Chicago or money for referring a story and left his contact number.

Now is your chance friends, if you've ever wanted to be on the Jerry Springer show, pitch your ideas now...

So I Took CPR

2008-09-24T20:20:00.000-07:00

Months ago I took CPR. I especially liked the plastic mouth cover for the dummy they gave us. There's a full face outline with fingers to demonstrate the procedure. Notice, the fingers tilting the chin are manicured woman fingers, and the fingers ready to pinch the nostrils are stumpy man fingers. There are either two people giving this woman CPR or the man giving CPR to the woman is using her fingers to tilt her own chin.

So I Was Inspired by Art

2008-09-10T23:16:00.001-07:00

LT and I saw the Maria Sibylla Merian & Daughters Ghetty Exhibit and I bought the "Insects and Flowers" booklet for my nieces. After telling them about Meria and looking at the book, Madelyn said "This makes me want to paint." Unfortunately nephew Rhys has to be napping in order to paint so Adah, Madelyn, and I worked with crayons.

So This Is What I Look Like - Part 2

2008-09-10T23:00:00.000-07:00

According to Adah.

So This Is What I Look Like

2008-09-04T22:22:00.000-07:00

According to Jared.

So Arnold Schwarzenegger Almost Ran Me Over In His Porsche

2008-09-02T22:42:00.000-07:00

Yep. Last Sunday while Megan and I were crossing the street.

We could've had it made with that kind of hush money.

So I Haven't Posted In Awhile

2008-09-02T22:20:00.000-07:00

And here are some things that have happened in the meantime...

Jared and I ran into choice people in Hollywood a couple weeks ago, as depicted in the drawings. No explanation needed on Jared's.

Second guy was at Mel's Diner covered in tattoos with cartoonish buck teeth. Thousands of dollars on bad ass tattooing and guy can't swing for braces... braces, not for pretty boy teeth, but to reign those in a tad.

So What Do I Do With My Pineapple Lamp

2008-08-22T19:28:00.000-07:00

I found a white ceramic pineapple lamp by a dumpster and took it home. Now I can't decide on a lampshade.

So Quantum Physics

2008-08-20T12:19:00.000-07:00

Saturday I watched a movie about killer bunny rabbits. This morning as I was taking a walk, an old man taking his garbage cans in from the curb, stopped and turned to ask if I left a bunny. He pointed to a bush by the curb and voila, a cage with a bunny in it.

Friday I watched Vicky Cristina Barcelona and hope Javier shows up soon.

So Saturday Night I Ate Two Pieces of Ice Cream Cake

2008-08-13T10:04:00.001-07:00

Couldn't stop at one but my stomach let me know I should have.

So A Man Was Tap Tap Tapping

2008-08-12T22:52:00.000-07:00

Last week as I was riding my bike to work around 8:45 am. As I rode past the park I saw a man in the handball court tapping on a sheet of plastic/something flatsmoothanddark. Tap dancing. He was tap dancing and he wore a blue velour sweat suit. At least, I choose to believe it was velour.

So A Girl Threw Up Out of A Car

2008-08-08T12:24:00.000-07:00

On the way home from church this girl was leaning out of the side of a silver Buick Le Sabre. She messed that back door up.
