Oh yeah...I have a blog

Whooops...I got a little lazy here with blogging. Lots to talk about...

First of all, as I mentioned before, I got a pic with Trenyce from the second season of "American Idol". Here it is...



This weekend has been great. Got the car serviced and did some cleaning up around the house in anticipation of my friend Albie's arrival next weekend. Hung out with Drew on Saturday night. We went to the new Chili's in Westwood. Mmmmm....Chicken crispers...Before we left, we think we saw Josh from Amazing Race 4 walking into the restaurant. After dinner, we went back to Drew's place to play a little Outburst and People: The Board Game with his roomies. The People game is a neat one, but a bit on the derivative. It's celebrity meets Pictionary, Charades, Pyramid, and Password.

Today was quite a treat. More cleaning around the house, and in the morning, I got a chance to meet Reichen from Amazing Race 4. A co-worker of mine knows him and she invited me to this function at his place. He's quite a nice guy. I got a chance to talk with him briefly about the big ol' Race. Definitely a neat way to spend the morning. And yes, he is as good-looking in person as he is on TV. :-)

So needless to say, this has been quite an "amazing weekend." Har, har, har...

Oh, just got done watching the Tonys. I really, really, really want to see "Hairspray" now. The number the cast did during the awards was amazing. "Movin' Out" looks intriguing, one reason being I'm a big Billy Joel fan. According to an ad I saw in a Playbill, "Hairspray" is going to be in L.A. next year...but for a little over a week...which means...it's going to be HELL getting tix for the show. Grrrr...

And that segueways into my seeing "The Producers" at the Pantages. What a fun show. Martin Short was HI-larious. I loved the original movie and this topped it. Who would've thunk that you could do a musical number with a chorus line of old women using walkers? :-) This was also the first time I'd been in the Pantages. It's a GREAT theater.

This weekend, I also met somebody new through Friendster. He's a really nice and is a game show fan, which is always a plus. Anyhoo, Friendster is a new website where you can meet people. The hook is...the people whom you can meet are connected to you via friends and their friends. It's like a real-life version of "Six Degrees of..." The best part is that it's free! I'm not sure if it's just free while it's in its "beta" stage, but it's definitely something worth checking out if you're looking to meet new people.
