Got a Job... Finally
Finally after two and a half months of being off... I just got a new job. I'll be Post Production Supervisor on a new TV series called "First Class all the Way" it's for the Bravo network. Don't have a clue what it's about.. i'm just glad for the work. Yay me!!!!!!! I start March 19th and it runs till the end of July..
Getting Married.. Well Sort Of.
Well this March 11th marks the anniversary of when Harry answered my personal ad on Yahoo. Harry and I have been together for four years. We know we will be together for the rest of our lives so we decided that we want to make it official.. at least in our hearts. Next year will be our five year anniversary and we thought it would be a perfect time to have a Commitment Ceremony. We are still in the early planning stages, but right now it looks like it will happen in July or August 08. More details to come.
Paramount Ranch

Today Harry, Daisy and I went to Paramount Ranch. For those who don't know what this is. It is an old studio lot where they filmed quite a few westerns, as well as Dr. Quinn Medicine Woman. They still film here and there but its more of a area that you can go hiking, have a picnic, walk around the remaining Western Town. It's a lot of fun. The other good thing about this place is that it allows dogs. Most State Parks won't allow dogs so it's great to have this place were we could go hiking with Daisy. Today we hiked for about an hour and a half. It was alot of fun, but of course I took a tumble down a hill and scraped up my arm and leg but all in all a fun time.

Best Buy One More Time
So we took Harry's jeep in to have the radio hooked back up. We haven't had the best experience with these people and it continued. After they installed the radio and then uninstalled the radio they failed to mention that the antenna was broken, which explains why we couldn't get AM and the FM was a hit and miss. But this time we had a much better tech guy and much cuter guy working on the jeep. He said he could replace the antenna for five bucks and all would be well. I was happy to finally get some good news. When he was done he told me he wasn't going to charge me because they didn't have the antenna needed but had an extra one lying around so he used that one. So now the radio and antenna are working great and after a year of no radio Harry finally has his radio. And to top it off our cute Best Buy Tech had a stutter, which made him even more adorable.

Bella's Baptism
Our friends Jack and Tara recently had a beautiful baby girl. Today was her Baptism. I had never gone to a baptism so I was looking forward to it. There were about six or seven other children being baptized at the same time. It lasted about an hour then we went to one of Jack and Tara's favorite Italian restaurant called Cavi to celebrate. This was your typical Italian feast, it lasted about five hours and there were many courses. All in all a fun night.

Sarah Jane Adventures
I'm a big Doctor Who fan and I finally got to see the spin off series The Sarah Jane Adventures. Sarah Jane Smith was a companion of the older Doctor Who series and made a guest appearance in the second season of the new Doctor Who series. Her appearance was very well recieved so the decided to do a spin off series for her. It premired in England on Jan 1st but I wasn't able to get it till recently and we watched on our TV night. I really enjoyed it. I think it had the same feel as the Doctor Who series. Of course Sarah Jane had some advance tech. stuff which some of the people who watched it with me didn't really like but it didn't really bother me. This series is geared towards children and you could tell but I'll watch it when it comes out in April.

Lost is back

After three months of being off the air.. Lost is finally back and I'm so excited. This is the third season and I know some folks are getting tired of the constant questions and very few answers but I still enjoy it and hope they will have some big payoffs coming up. The first six episodes of the season dealt with Kate, Sawyer, Jack and the Others but they are about to get back to the beach with the other surviviors. I miss the other survivors. None stop Lost till the summer... can't wait!!!!

Magic Mountain
Harry and I are both very avid roller coaster enthusiast. Since Harry has been here we have gone to Magic Mountains many times a year. We had season passes. But since we got Daisy we weren't able to leave her in the apartment alone. But after a year and a half Daisy is doing better staying home alone for about seven to eight hours so now we can get back to our Magic Mountain adventures. So we got 2007 season passes and today was the first day this year we were able to go. We had a great time. It was Super Bowl Sunday so the park was really slow. We did X, Viper, Tatsui, DejaVu, Riddler, Batman, Scream, and Goliath in a matter of five hours. We had a lot of fun.. can't wait to go back.

Harry Potter Book 7
Well they announced the release date for the Seventh and Final Harry Potter book, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. July 21st, 2007. This announcment was kind of bitter sweet, I'm happy it's coming out but then again this is the final, last, seventh book of the Harry Potter series. There will be no more, the story will come to an end. Harry Potter is such a huge part of my life. As time goes by I slowly lose my favorite series, First Star Wars than Buffy, than Lord of the Rings, than Star Trek and now Harry Potter. At least we still have two more movies that should take us till 2010. There are going to be many tears they day this book comes out.

"Little" Brother Outing
After a much to long hiatus I hung out my new "little" brother. His mom and I have decided that shorter visit will be best. So we went and played a game of bowling and some video games on this outing. Spent about an hour and a half and had a really good time.

Tom's Birthday Party and Play
My friend Tom turns 38 today and he was having a nice little dinner party. It was Tom's closest friends and we had a nice time then about 2/3 rds through dinner Batman.. yes Batman came walking up the stairs looking for Tom. Now Tom is a huge Batman fan so this was not a huge surprise but when Batman came up the stairs he was followed by a camera and audio crew. This person was dressed as Batman and doing some sort of reality show "My Life as Batman" and Tom's friend Bill just happen to see him out side walking past the resturant and ask if he would come in and surprise Tom. It was soooooo funny. It was a great ending to dinner. Next was Tom's play that he had written. The group from dinner along with a few new people showed up at the theater to watch Tom's short play. It was a lot of fun, there were six short plays and Tom's was one of the better ones. All in all a fun night of celebrating with friends.

Trip up to the Cabin
We have been wanting to get up to the cabin for a while now and since I'm out of work for the moment we figured we would go during the week. For those who don't know my Mom and Step-dad have a small cabin up in Green Valley Lake, near Big Bear. It's the highest city in the San Bernadino mountains so we figured there would be snow this time of year. Well we were right, there wasn't much on the roads but plenty everywhere else. We go to the cabin and I did the normal things like turing on the gas, waterheater, electric and water but when I went the bathroom I found out that the toliet bowl and back half of the toliet were frozen solid, I could not believe it. We spent the next two hours pouring hot water in the toliet and trying to thaw it out so it was usable. We finally managed it and everything seemed to be okay after that. It wasn't the best start of a mini vacation but it turned out to me cold yet relaxing trip. It was also Daisy's first time in the snow and she really enjoyed it, which surprised us since she hates wet grass. So fun was had by all.

Going to the Movies
Well I finally got some free time and decided that I would go see a movie that I have been wanting to see since the middle of Dec. Eragon, it's based on a series of books. Of course it being the beginning of Jan I have heard things about this movie so going in I didn't have very high hopes. I mean I loved the books but heard that they movie is nothing like the book. After seeing it I have to say that I loved that movie. Yes it's a very condensed version of the book but most movies made from books are less detailed then the book. The SFX were AWESOME and the acting was good. Yes the story left out a lot of details but I think if you hadn't read the books you would still understand the overall story. I plan on buying it when it comes out on DVD.So I saw an AWESOME movie (Eragon) and a SO SO movie (Happily N'ever After).

The Golden Compass
Today I was finally able to watch The Golden Compass. I read the books right before the movie and I have to say I thought the first book of the trilogy was really good but had a very depressing ending. The movie on the other hand went very fast and they left out the final three chapters where the really bad stuff happens. I know they filmed it so maybe will get lucky and see it on the DVD since a sequel seems out of the questions due to the low numbers it got at the box office. I enjoyed the movie, I thought the little girl they got to play the lead Lyra was perfect. The special effects were awesome and I will be buying it when it comes out on DVD.

New Years Day at Wally's
This has become our new tradition for New Years Day to go over to my Uncle Wally's house for a Mexican feast. Again this year it was a ton of good food and great company. Cousins Renee and Darren along with their families came as well as some of Wally and Dora's family. It was a full house but alot of fun. These people are crazy and it's so much fun to watch.
Happy New Years
For New Years Eve Harry and I went to our friends Chris and Marks house out in Pasadena. We have done this the past few years and it's always fun. This year was a bit subduded but was still alot of fun. We hung out till about 2am chatting with friends but had to get going since we had to be up in a bit and head out to my Uncle Wally's house.

Pan's Labyrinth
Hey everyone I just got back from seeing Pan's Labyrinth.Wow.. what a powerful movie, it's totally not what I expected. It's violent and beautiful, the harshness of reality during the Spanish War against the beauty of Ofilia's fantasy world is so intresting. Even the fairytale world is dark and disturbing. There is one scene in particular that just thinking about it gives me chills. The only complaint if you can call it that is having to remove your eyes from the beautiful fantasy world while reading the subtitles and just so everyone knows this is not a children's movie. If this movie is playing in your area, it's a must see. I went into this movie thinking it was going to be this "dark" fairytale but it's so much more.

Christmas Day
Christmas Day started with a phone call from my mom asking me to bring over some parmesan cheese. Well we were up so we got ready and drove over to my Mom's for a spaghetti lunch and to open presents. Ever since we got Daisy I haven't really enjoyed Christmas at Mom's. Both my mom and grandmother have dogs. Mom's dog Josie is smart and knows that Daisy doesn't like other dogs and hides when we are over there. But Grandma's dog Baby doesn't quite get it. And constantly badgers Daisy over and over again until Daisy snaps at her. I have to play referee all day and never really get to enjoy the time with my Mom and Chuck. Baby has to be put on a leash to prevent him from bothering Daisy. Well the Grandma talks outloud to no one in particular that Baby doesn't like a leash and how horrible and unfriendly our dog is. She was getting on my last nerve so I was happy that we eat lunch quickly, opened gifts and headed out ahead of schedule. We headed over to my Dad's were we opened gifts and had a very delicious Christmas Dinner with Turkey, potatoes, corn, stuffing, and rolls. It was a great time with Harry, Dad, Mike, Lora and Daisy. We left there place around 8 or so and headed home. It was nice to be home.. after all the driving I did the day before about 350 miles and the driving I did today I was tired. Harry and I relaxed on the couch and watched TV until we were tired. Christmas day started out a bit rocky but ended very nicely.

Christmas Eve

For Christmas Eve Harry and I went to my cousin Renee's house up in Hidden Hills. The day started in an hour drive totally in the opposite direction to pick up my Dad. Then back to our place to drop off the dog and then fifteen minutes to my cousin’s place. It was a lot of fun. We have only known these people for a short amount of time but they have taken us into their family and their hearts like we have been a part of them forever. Renee made a wonderful dinner and we sat around and talked and played games before opening gifts. We had to leave early because we still had to drive Dad back home. Harry and I normally open our gifts for each other on Christmas Eve but when we got home it was past midnight so typically we opened our gifts on Christmas morning. We had a good time opening gifts that we knew about and some that we had no idea about. All in all a great night of joy and laughter with family.

Another Visit with my "little" Brother
For this visit I was going to try to take him to the Zoo for the second time but it was raining so we decided to go to the movies. We went to see Happy Feet. We got about 2/3's the way through it and he turned to me and said he wanted to go. I could tell he was getting bored. I told him if he could wait ten mintues and it would be over, well a few minutes later he said he wasn't feeling good and wanted to go now. It was difficult for me because I was really enjoying the movie and wanted to finish it but I remember that I was there for my "little" and if wanted to leave then we leave. So I walked out of a movie for the first time in my life. Of course I take him home and give him his Christmas present and he instantly felt better and loved the gift. I got him a bunch of Pokemon cards. Anyways.. Happy Feet was a very cool movie and I look forward to seeing it again and finishing it this time.

Proud to be a Browncoat!!
THIS IS WHY I LOVE THE CREATORS/STARS/EVERYONE ASSOCIATED WITH FIREFLY AND SERENITY....There was a Firefly/Serenity Con called Flanvention II this past weekend. I was luckly enough to enjoy Flanvention I last years but this year wasn't able to get tickets. This is a small (500 only) con. Cost anywhere from $400 to $1200 for tickets. Well there was rumbling the last few weeks about it being cancelled due to financial problems, but they mangaged to find a loan and the con was on... well up till this past Thursday. The con starts on Friday and they offically cancelled the con Thursday afternoon. Well since the rumbleing began a few weeks ago the SoCal and NoCal Browncoat groups started to plan a back up plan for those who were left high and dry. Here is an article of what happend next.. it's an amazing story. I'm so proud to call myself a BROWNCOAT.
Why we love the Firefly/Serenity crew
Updated... See, last year a group called Booster Events held this massive Firefly/Serenity convention in California last year called "Flanvention." A lot of the cast shows up, there were panels and dinners and photo shoots and whatnot, membership was limited, and it was a lot of fun, a way for fans of the cancelled-too-soon show and because-we-demanded-it movie to talk to their favorite stars. This year's hotly anticipated event sold out months ago and it's happening this weekend, right now.
Or it would be. The organizers cancelled it. On Thursday.
There were some worries this would happen, after Nathan ("Mal") Fillion idly mentioned on his MySpace page a few weeks ago that he had yet to hear from the organizers about it. There was a brief outcry from fans, things were seemingly cleared up, all was shakily well. Then about two weeks ago the organizers announced the con might not go on due to financial difficulties. To the 500 people who paid hundreds of dollars for tickets (and, in some cases, thousands of dollars for lifetime memberships, since Booster Events does other cons throughout the year for other cult-favorite franchises) this was a huge slap in the face. Outraged fans made their voices heard before the organizers came back a few days later to say they got a loan and all was, again, well.
Then they cancelled it this week, after people around the world were already on their planes and in their cars and on their way. To say that the Firefly fan community (known as Browncoats) was staggered would be an understatement.
As stunned and betrayed fans began to arrive the California Browncoats jumped up to meet the frantic challenge of organizing a convention during, you know, the actual convention. Fans settled in to party among themselves anyway, mutter dark things about Booster Events, and make the best of it of the newly formed Browncoat Backup Bash.
Then the stars started showing up.
Adam "Jayne" Baldwin showed up Thursday night, knowing the con was cancelled and fans were left hanging. He hung around chatting with fans for hours and mentioned others would probably show up.
Friday Nathan "Mal" Fillion, Alan "Wash" Tudyk, Mark "Badger" Sheppard, Jonathan "Dead Guy From 'The Message'" Woodward, and Christina "Saffron" Hendricks came by for autographs and pictures and mainly just to say hi. Without appearance fees or the autograph cash that usually get stars to show up, they came anyway. Alan Tudyk wan't even supposed to be at the event due to prior commitments, and he came anyway. They knew their fans had been shafted and they stepped up to make it worthwhile. Fillion brought a box full of Firefly memorabilia and other personal loot and started passing it out to fans who had come from Australia, the UK and other far-off places
By Saturday morning the emergency organizers had received $4500 in PayPal donations from fans around the world who had donated to help out their less-fortunate compatriots. Multiverse, an MMORPG gaming platform company that announced last week they had the license to create a multi-player Firefly game, paid for buses to move the fans and crew to a secret, undisclosed location to convene in private. There were Q and As from various companies announcing new merchandise, a talk from Greg Edmondson (the man responsible for the music from the show), a musical performance from fan favorite group The Bedlam Bards, and appearances by many of the stars already mentioned plus Michael "Niska" Fairman, Ron "Book" Glass, and Morena "Inara" Baccarin, none of whom were originally scheduled. Even Michael Muhney from "Veronica Mars," who was supposed to run the charity auction planned for Sunday, showed up to hang.
Saturday night the whole mess moved to the new restaurant owned by Claire ("Glorificus" from "Buffy the Vampire Slayer") and her husband, which isn't due to open for another couple of weeks, and for a time this betrayed, ripped-off, and let-down group of fans who had come hoping to get a few autographs and a fleeting word were suddenly partying with the stars at the hottest secret nightspot in Hollywood. If they liked these actors before it's going to border on worship now, deservedly so.
Me, over the last few days I've cycled from "Wish I could go" to "Whew, glad I didn't go" to "Man! I wish I'd went!" Just shows you shouldn't underestimate a group of people defined by their ability to pull victory out of crushing defeat...
