Lizet's Place

Out bowling with Jamie!

I'm sucking rather badly.

Game 1 I got a 24. Jamie and Shari totally beat me!

Game 2 I currently have 13! :-/

But having so much fun!

Since my birthday is on a Sunday this year (9-9) and ALL OTHER PLANS I've made to celebrate turning 30 have fallen through, these are my tentative b-day plans:
church *grumbles*
lunch
The Wine Bar ([Bad username or site: @ livejournal.com] says they're really slow on Sundays)
sleep

and that's about all I've got planned. I need friends who live closer and my own place so I can have people over to celebrate.

The Saturday before (9-8), I'm hoping to go to a baseball game (Angels v Tigers) and hopefully my parents, sister and maybe Marlin & Jasmine can go with (if the tickets aren't too expensive)

First, super duper mega thanks to [Bad username or site: @ livejournal.com] for buying a ticket for me to see Scott's play again.
Second, super duper mega thanks to [Bad username or site: @ livejournal.com] for my "Hawaii Five-0 Survival Bag" (I think that's what she called it). I LOVE the stuff that's in it! I'll post pictures tomorrow...err later today. Pictures have been posted here.
Third, I didn't end up on the news! bluedelft will know what I'm talking about.

Now for the details.

I already mentioned that [Bad username or site: @ livejournal.com] bought me a ticket to see Scott's play again while she's out here and that was today...err yesterday (Saturday), well we were supposed to meet up for dinner a couple of hours before the play, but life in general was conspiring against me or something.

My mom's car keys wouldn't start the car for some reason, so my dad spent something like 30 minutes looking for his keys, then my mom tried her keys again, and the car started up. Then, we were about 30 minutes from the Falcon Theatre when the car over heated! This is the car that had spent 3 weeks in the shop previously! IT SHOULDN'T BE OVERHEATING! We would get 2 or 3 miles and have to pull over for 10 minutes. I got to a point where I was visibly shaking because I was so pissed off at my dad. Did that all the way until about 8:10 pm when the car limped into the parking lot at Bob's Big Boy.

I ran across the street and was able to get into the play at the end of the first act. No money wasted on a ticket! Then intermission came and I was properly able to meet [Bad username or site: @ livejournal.com], her sister and gyri. Was given my "Survival Bag" (which I promptly opened in the car and squeed over)! We watched the rest of the play (funny the 2nd time around and I had some of the dialogue memorized too) then went to the lobby to wait for the cast to come out. I had better luck this time around than I did on the 16th. I didn't get Scott's autograph, picture or a hug (like bluedelft and gyri got on Friday), but OMG I was right there with him (when bluedelft got a second hug)! I WAS BREATHING THE SAME AIR AS HIM! We waited around more hoping he'd come back out so I could work up the nerve to ask for an autograph or picture, but he never came back out. Oh well.

We finally got kicked out the Theatre so they could lock up and as we went out separate ways, I hustled to the stop light in time to see Scott driving away in his blue truck with Dot riding shotgun. I would have followed for like a block if I had a car!

Then on the way home...OMG! I got picked up at 11 pm and didn't get home until 1:50 am! IT TOOK ALMOST 3 HOURS TO GET FROM BURBANK TO DOWNEY! That's ridiculous! We had to keep stopping because the car was overheating! I think we maybe went 2 miles on the freeway, then took the streets all the way home. I'm sort of glad I didn't drive by myself, but OMG! My dad kept telling me I had to be the navigator and then was telling me I had to look out for the street names as well. I'm sorry, I don't have 2 sets of eyes! I can't look at the map and look at street names outside the car. He also took the long way to get to the freeway after he picked me up. I kept telling him "turn around and it's 1.5 miles back to the 101 Freeway. It's the same way Lora and I went on the 16th". he kept saying "we haven't gotten to the 101 freeway." He ended up going something like 3 miles BACK because when we got on the freeway, 3-4 miles later, we got to the street where we would have gotten ON the freeway at! DON'T ASK ME TO BE THE NAVIGATOR IF YOU WON'T TAKE MY ADVICE! I don't "re-calculate" when you gt turned around. I will fucking ignore you and let you find your own way.

now about why I didn't end up on the news...I was so pissed at my dad on the way to the play that I wanted to hit something or someone. at one point I even tweeted that I was stepping away from all electronic devices for the night. I was so mad and didn't want to put something out there that I'd have a hard time explaining once I calmed down. I'm still pissed, but there's still nothing I can do about it.

Going to read a fic before going to sleep.

Went to see No Way Around But Through yesterday afternoon with Lora.

Got to the Theatre with literally SECONDS to spare. Okay, so maybe not seconds, but we cut it pretty close. And it was mostly because Lora picked me up 20 minutes late and there was HORRIBLE traffic on the 5 Freeway and the 101 Freeway. Once we got off the freeway, we had very little trouble finding the Theatre or parking.

I'm not going to give anything away about the play. There are some on my flist who will be seeing it later this month (I'll be going again as well!) and I don't want to spoil them. I will, however, say I was like 5 ft from Scott's ass and I had to clamp my hand over my mouth to keep from giggling. I am 12.

There was an intermission. I want to say 15 minutes? But I was busy catching up on twitter and reading a few quick fics.

The discussions between Jake and Holly reminded me so much of Steve & Danny's carguments. and some of the lines easily could have been delivered by Danny to Steve.

I thought I'd have a difficult time keeping Scott as Jake apart from Scott as Danny, but Scott's facial hair really went a long way to keep them apart.

I'm convinced that Scott is a hand talker.

After the play, Lora and I stuck around for like 40 minutes. Saw Melanie Griffith outside under an umbrella and Robyn Cohen talking with her family, but no Scott (or Dot), Val or Bre. I did get a picture of Scott's truck (which needs to be washed). I'm hoping that on the 29th, I'll have better luck *fingers crossed*

tell me what makes more sense:

1) loading up all the dirty clothes and going to a laundromat to wash/dry clothes - it's cheaper and can do more loads at one time

or

2) using the washer/dryer at the complex where you live and washing 1 or 2 loads at a time, AND SPENDING MORE MONEY.

It costs $1.25 to wash and $1.00 to dry on my side. across the driveway, it's $1.25 to wash and $0.75 to dry.

At the laundromat I can use a jumbo washer (and fit twice as much clothes in it) for $2.00 and at the most $0.50 to dry (depending on how thick the clothing is) and I get done faster. 2 hours tops for all the dirty clothes, vs 1.5 hours to wash and dry ONE LOAD at the apartment!

my parents are giving me shit about wanting to go to the laundromat (I do have to ask to use the car because it's theirs) and they can stay here and clean out the garage.

so I said fuck it and put a load of clothes in the wash here. but if my mom suddenly decides she wants to go to the laundromat, I'm going to throw something!

going to see Dark Shadows on Saturday with Lora, Colleen and John!

Lora gets first run tickets from her job for $7 and Colleen mentioned she wanted to see Dark Shadows. She also mentioned the Avengers movie, but I said no. I needed to see the others that came before it first. So we decided on Dark Shadows.

I think we're either going to get food stuffs before or after the movie, but there will definitely be eating!
