Nik: Perfect with herb roasted pumpkin seeds.
I’m obsessed with… Pumpkin Ale
Growing Up Sucks
Alex: It’s official. I’m almost a grandma. My hair is falling out, I get tired by 10pm and when I get home, the first thing I do, is take my clothes off and change into sweats. The worst part is when I have a couple of drinks I’m hungover for like two days! WHAT IS GOING ON!? Not to mention the bills on bills on bills. They never stop. Cell phone, car insurance, gas, electricity, ...
Running errands in LA… Blows!
Alex: One thing I really miss about Wisconsin is how easy it was to run errands. I could get a lot accomplished in one day. Or should I say one hour! Out here in LA running errands takes an entire day. Hey that rhymed, sorta. Anyway, yesterday I had a few things I needed from CVS, a check to deposit and my tank was on E. You know how long that took me? 3 hours! ...
Meet Any Celebrities?
Alex: It’s funny, this weekend a friend from back home asked if I’ve seen or met any celebrities yet. This was the fourth time I have been asked that same question. Well, I have actually. Annnnd we ended up making out a few times. He’s an actor and my little brother used to be obsessed with his show. I met him at a nightclub in Hollywood. I don’t exactly remember how we started talking, but ...
Sage What?
Alex: Remember that day we were working and the news crew was outside because your neighboring tenant died? And you lit sage and walked around your place? And I thought you were kind of a weirdo? Well, turns out, the healer that works in my building lights it too when he needs to ‘clean the air’. And the guy I hung out with last weekend did the same thing after watching Miley Cyrus on the ...
I’m obsessed with… Swedish Dream Sea Salt Soap
Nik: You know how good your skin is after swimming in the ocean? This soap has all the benefits of a Pacific dip without the sand between your toes.
Alex: Speaking of ocean, let’s go to the beach soon!
Nik: It’s too cold.
Alex: Are you kidding me? It’s 70 degrees out!
Nik: It’s 69. And when you’ve been in LA as long as I have, 69 is not beach weather.
Alex: I’m always down to get wet when it’s 69.
Nik: Ew. No.
I Really Live Here?
Alex: I am in love with Allen Stone. No beating around the bush, he’s the best singer alive. He has so much soul and positive energy. This past weekend I went to his concert on the Santa Monica pier. I was like a little girl at a Justin Bieber concert. In fact, the last time I was that excited to see someone perform was when I was at my first N’Sync concert! The entire day ...
Street Names Schmeet Mames
Alex: I can’t tell you how many times I’ve felt like a moron trying to pronounce some of the street names out here. Is LA out to get me or am I just a complete idiot? I honestly think Siri doesn’t know how to say the names either. I’ve asked her. Sepulveda? After knowing what it is supposed to sound like I still have trouble saying it. Tujunga? I mean come on. Is there ...
Road Rage
Rant from Nik: Dear Sir in the unoriginal-black-SUV-that-everyone-in-LA-drives, I see nothing on your U.B.SUV.T.E.I.LA.D that indicates you are the traffic police. Green means go. It does. Check any drivers education manual. Just because you’re worried that your bumper will be stuck in the crosswalk when the light turns red, doesn’t give you the right to try and control the flow of traffic (at this very busy intersection that takes 20 minutes to get through during rush hour) ...
