I had lunch with Roni today. She is visiting briefly this weekend. It was a very lovely surprise. We had delightful conversations about random stuff and the past and future. I am so glad that we keep in touch as often as we do. It feels like junior high/high school all over again (minus her annoying dog that never warmed up to me). I feel a bit groggy right now. Actually, ever since I had lunch, it feels like I woke up from an unfulfilling nap. I hope I can shake it soon, especially since I will be seeing the fabulous Fast Times tonight (my favorite 80’s cover band) at The Space. They play covers of Dramarama, New Order, The Cure, Guns n Roses, Prince, Devo, and so much more. It’s cheesy, but oh so good. Come join us!

Anyway, last night, Alexis and I went to watch a Melnitz sponsored movie. I used to go watch their movies frequently, but their selection this year is good, but not fabulous. Kate was my constant movie partner and I miss her because she is so far away now. They were showing Dot the I, an independent film from the UK. It stars Gael Garcia Bernal (hottie!) and a few fresh new actors. It is about a bizarre love triangle and wasn't as predictable as I though it would be. This is Matthew Parkhill's directorial and screenwriting debut. Not bad for a newbie. He was there after the film for a brief Q & A session. He was very informative and quite a talker. I was pleasantly surprised.

People have been telling me about a girl from Modesto that is in Top Model. I checked her out and she’s not that bad, but there are some hotties competing against her. I don’t watch the show, so I am just amused by it all. We finally have a reality TV star from my hometown…I am bursting with fruit flavor.

Oh, and I posted pics of Lisa’s new tattoo. It’s a fantastic scorpion on her ankle, check it out!
