Spy Kitties

So I came across these pictures today.
Kitties are soooo nosy!!

Me and Rob

Ben invited me to a meet and greet for the L.A. Kings at Hollywood Park. The area was cordoned off for the event and they had free nachos, hotdogs, soda, water, and hot chocolate for us. Yay! They had queues set up set up for different players and I immediately got into line for Rob Blake. After a 15 year affair in my head, I finally got to meet my favorite player! It took me about 45 minutes to get to the front, but eventually I got there. Yeah, he's got the Big Bird nose, but the blues eyes and crooked smile still made me flustered. And did I mention that I had thing for nice arms? **sigh** I told him that he's been my favorite player since he started with the Kings. He thanked me and assented to signing my hat with the baby blue pen. Then it was time to take the picture. I noticed that everyone else taking a picture with the players didn't get much closer than maybe an arm around the shoulder. Not me. I waited almost 15 years for this so I got right up close and snuggled into the side of his neck. He only looks "slightly" uncomfortable. Tee hee. Looking back, I should have just jumped in his lap. That would have been an awesome picture! Well... I still got a great picture and he signed my hat. That will have to be good enough. =) Thanks, Rob, for humouring me!!

After we had gotten our fill of oggling the players, Ben, Antonio and I decided to watch a couple of the horse races. Antonio and I placed a bet on the first race and we won $16! Yay! We had to stay for the next race, too, because we had obviously caught the Bug. =P The next race we only won $4.50. Oh well. So we quit while we were ahead and left.
When we got back to their place, Antonio and I enjoyed a late lunch at George's Greek Deli, one of our favorite places to eat. We had lamb chops and avgolemono soup followed by baklava. Taaasty!

Introducing: Lincoln!

Matt and Laura got a new kitty. His name is Lincoln. Why Lincoln? He is (as Matt calls him) an equal opportunity kitty. Not only is he black AND white, but he'll pretty much go and hang out with EVERYONE in turn. First he's on Dave's lap, then he moseys over to Laura, then flops down on me for a bit, and then wants to go to Matt. See? He loves everyone! He's three months old and sooo cute! The markings on his head kinda make him look like he's wearing a toupe, and the shape of his face is very long and sweet. Definitely a cute cat with great personality.

SEMA Show 2007

Last week was the SEMA show in Las Vegas. It's this huge convention showcasing aftermarket stuff for cars. Everything from tires to Navi's to dials. I flew in on Thursday night where Dave picked me up. We also met up with his friend Dustin and later with Marco, Brisia, and Hans for a little Blackjack. We spent Friday afternoon at SEMA and met up again with Marco and Brisia. The best part about SEMA? THE SOFT SERVE FROZEN CUSTARD! Yummy. They were there last year and that's what I looked forward to this year. So smooth and creamy.
Later that night Dave and I went to see Zumanity. I saw it the first week that it opened in 2003. Still sexy, still full of firm, perfect bodies. For dinner we went to Lawry's. I love Prime Rib! Dessert was even better. Something called a Chocolate Bag. White and milk chocolate moulded into the shape of a bag filled with berries, double chocolate mousse and whipped cream. There was also Chambord sauce drizzled around it with more berries. Soooo tasty. Especially with the the Chocolate Port.
We did a little shopping at the outlets on Saturday with Amy (my cousin's wife that lives out there) and then headed home. Oh wait... on the way home we went to the Zappos Outlet. Yaaaay!! Of course I bought a pair of really cute shoes! And the we went to the Fry's. Duhh... Of course Las Vegas's Fry's would be a slot machine!! Click on the slot machine for more pics from Vegas.

Spooktacular Halloween!

Yay! I love Halloween. I love to dress up. I used to love Trick O Treating. Well... I still love it, but I don't think I would be able to get candy. =P Dave came over the night before Halloween to carve a pumpkin. I designed it, he carved it. I think it came out pretty cool. Great teamwork!

On Halloween night I trekked up to Fuzzy's in Hollywood. It only took me TWO HOURS in traffic. Bleh. Fortunately for me, Fuzzy was ready with a parking spot and a nice cool glass of water for me when I got there. Yay! We were expecting three others to come: Greg, Jeff, and Ena. Fuzzy had also prepped some ribeyes for dinner. Yummy! She made some Ong Choy veggies for us with garlic and stinky shrimp paste. It was tasty... but as I just said, they were stinky, too! After we had all eaten, we got ready to go out and went to Vanguard for their Halloween Night. Yeah, it was Hip Hop. And yeah, it was about 90% Asian. But we still had a great time. We saw a lot of awesome costumes. Check out pics of the Cat-o-lantern and Halloween night here.
