Vox Hunt: Sunday Giggles

There is laughter in the video, and this will definitely bring laughter to your lips! Found by my friend Sunny a few years ago. We actually recreated this video one fateful karaoke night =)

QotD: The Best Reward of All...

How and when do you reward yourself?
Submitted by Rainbird.

I usually reward myself after a hard run. Since my runs are getting progressively longer these days, and I'm burning close to 1000 calories per run (yay!!!!!!), I feel better about indulging in a few extra calories. Those few extra calories usually take the form of boba! I've been having some pretty regularly these days =) Other times it's a few pieces of chocolate.

QotD: Pet Names

What are the goofy nicknames you have for your pet? Bonus points for sharing a picture of him/h

er.
Submitted by Papi Chulo.

 

Christine and I like to call lil Scruffy the "Scruffmonster" and "the Beast" because he is just such... a beast! =)

 

It's just so funny that my two little ones are like complete opposites of each other. Soybean's this really polished, pretty boy, ever so gentle and polite. Scruffy, on the other hand, is absolutely beastly! He eats like an animal, he has no manners, he's a complete mess ALL the time! They're perfect together =)

 

 

QotD: Time on Your Hands

What do you do when you find yourself with nothing to do?
Submitted by Cassie.

Either playing with the boys, fiddling around with Facebook, or watching something on Netflix's Watch Instantly =) That thing is a godsend!

QotD: The Best Part of Waking Up

What's your morning beverage of choice?  Coffee, tea, juice?  Homemade or store-bought?

When I'm working, I usually have to drink coffee before I start the workday. This either means I brew the coffee at home (if I woke up early enough to do this), I brew coffee in the office, or I pick some up at Starbucks or Coffee Bean. Otherwise, I'm not that big a coffee drinker. Any other day i like to drink juice =)

QotD: (Not) Far From Home

How far from your last home do you live? Why did you move and are you glad you did? 
Submitted by Matthew 25.

I moved about 50 miles away from my home almost 5 years ago… down into Orange County. I moved for law school.

A part of me was very glad that I moved. I have a place all to myself. I have an independence very different from what I experienced while I was dorming in college. But a part of me, and this part grows bigger with every passing day, really misses LA and really dislikes (almost hates) the sterility of Orange County. Yes, everything is clean and new, but to me, this just makes the county all the more sterile. I also hate that there really isn’t a lot of diversity… activities, restaurants, people. They’re all pretty much from and catered to the same economic level, which really irritates me.

Sorry OC lovers =) But I will always be a Los Angelino at heart!

I’m counting the days when I’ll be able to sell my place and get one in LA =)

QotD: I Backed Out

Have you ever backed out on doing something you promised you'd do? Did you have a good reason for going back on your word? 
Submitted by enSue.


Yeah, I actually just did that a few days ago =( I'm ashamed to say. I had promised Christine that I would totally party it up for NYE. Unfortunately, as NYE approached, I just wasn’t in a very “going out” mood. That, plus none of the places she and her friends were thinking of going to really appealed to me. So, I ended up backing out! I felt really bad, but I told her that I would have been total deadweight if I had gone, and she probably would have hated me for ruining her NYE.

I did promise her that I would be going to her half-birthday celebration in a few months. And THAT I will definitely be keeping =)

QotD: Best Film of '07

What was the best movie you saw this year?

This one is a tie again =) Between HP5, which I loved and saw 
multiple times in the theater and Juno. I saw Juno a couple of 
weeks ago and am going to see it again tonight ;) such a great

QotD: Best Gift of '07

What's the best gift you received this year?

Ok, it's a tie!

Knee-high leather boots v. Phantom tix

A pair of knee-high leather boots from my sister-in-law =D 
I've been yearning for a pair for a while now, but just didn't 
want to drop so much $$ on a pair. The ones she got me are a 
perfect fit! I love love love LOVE them!

Phantom tix from Nick. We saw it at the Venetian. Hands down 
the best stage set I've ever seen. It was gorgeous and stunning!
The last time I saw Phantom was 6 years ago on Broadway.
My only complaint? They sped up the music just a tad bit =(  
But I still loved it. I <3 Phantom!
