Please forgive my lack of blogging in the last month, I know it really is pitiful. I have so much to catch up on here. But first let’s get in the Christmas spirit the only way I know how — Elfing myself (and my roommates who don’t yet know their fate)!

I am pretty sure my brother has taken the liberty of “Elfing” my family in the past, but I only remember the traditional or “classic” dance. Now they have upgraded to Hip Hopping, Carol singing, disco dancing elves. I mean really, what more could you want from elves this season? They need a break from the hard work making toys just as much as we all do.

Hope these bring you some holiday cheer, they sure brought me some giggles!

When we bought the tickets to see Britney back in like November, April seemed so far away. And then it was here. Unfortunately my friends Claudia and Jeannie couldn’t make it down from San Francisco, so it ended up being just Natalie and I. We got decked out, or Britney-fied I guess you could say. Though I’m not really sure we were fully Britney-fied, seeing how we were wearing more than a diamond studded bra and hot pants. But we did our best. Oh, and if you were wondering, I had to ditch the shiny spandex for a pink dress (it was like 90 degrees)!

As expected the Honda Center was full of screaming girls probably ranging between 16 and 25 years old. I imagine a similar demographic to the Spice Girls’ concert. If nothing else it was an entertaining circus. I apologize in advance for the inability of my camera to zoom well. On second thought I don’t think it was the camera’s fault, it was the fact that we were a mile away from the stage.

On with the Circus!

Today was my first experience with Roscoe’s Chicken and Waffles. I will readily admit that I was a skeptic and thought for sure it would be a bad combination. I have to say though, it was pretty damn good. The sweetness of the waffles and the salty savory crunch of the chicken complimented each other perfectly. They would have been best eaten there, rather than to-go, but you take what you can get.

Either way, no one really cares what I thought of Chicken and Waffles, what I really found hilarious was the typo on their online menu. Notice that you can order “1 Beast” for $4.30. In case any of you were looking for a beast, apparently this is the place to go….

On the other hand if you want a chicken breast, Hooters may be a good alternative.

Had some free time this afternoon and was able to veg out and get caught up on the past few weeks of The Office. FYI: If you are living without The Office, you are living an incomplete life. Every time I visit the show’s website to catch an episode I missed, I get sucked in by some ridiculous webisode or character blog (Dwight’s blog, Schrute Space).

The Fake PSAs are probably the highlight. Enjoy a few of my favorites–

And now for some notable quotes from the past two episodes–

“The Duel”

Dwight Schrute: Rule 17: don’t turn your back on bears, men you have wronged, or the dominant turkey during mating season. There are forty rules all Schrute boys must learn before the age of five. [sings] Learn your rules. You better learn your rules. If you don’t, you’ll be eaten in your sleep. [makes chomping sound]

Andy Bernard: What? You stupid idiot! [Andy honks his horn] You’re like, you’re like a Sasquatch! You live in the woods…
Dwight Schrute: Sasquatches are the strongest animal on the planet! So fine, call me a Sasquatch!

Dwight Schrute: A duel! The winner gets Angela. So what weapon?
Andy Bernard: My bare hands.
Dwight Schrute: That is stupid. I will use a sword and I will cut off your bare hands.

“Prince Family Paper”

Michael Scott: So when, uh, when did you set up shop.
Prince Paper Owner: Ah I opened this place after I came back from Vietnam.
Michael Scott: Ooh, Vietnam. I hear it’s lovely.

Its been a while since my last post, but I’ve only recently found some funny material. My friends from London have been visiting and Chiara and I are giving them a grand California tour. That of course includes a day at the Happiest Place on Earth, the Magic Kingdom, where dreams come true….Disneyland!

Here’s a bit of how we killed time in line for Space Mountain. Literally at the end of the day my face hurt from laughing so much.
