BACKSEATS & BATHROOM STALLS

Yup. I did it again. I went to another play last night. The publicist, Patty Onogan, is a friend of mine, and she told me this show was right up the KROQ audience's ally. And she was right! This show is about 5 people who have, well, you know, sex, in backseats and bathroom stalls. A few actually make it to an apartment. I wanted to tell you that so you wouldn't think they were just a bunch of sluts. Nah. They're just very confused, horney people who are pretty good at sex and pretty bad at love and romance. This is a comedy and I have to say I laughed a lot. There were also some really sweet moments in this show, and great acting and truthful dialogue.

Thanksgiving rocks!

I've been waiting for Thanksgiving for weeks and weeks and weeks. Part of the reason I wanted it to come was just to be able to sleep in for 4 days. When you get up at 4, sleeping in 'till 8 is the most delicious feeling in the world. I wake up, look at the clock, chuckle, and turn over. ZZZZZZ....... But I also love Thanksgiving because my family and another family always spend Thanksgiving and Christmas together and they're just my favorite people in the world. I don't get to see them nearly enough - we're all so busy and we live all over the place, from south Orange County to Claremont - so these holidays are extra special. And of course, the food. Oh dear Lord - the FOOD. And the wine. And the FOOD!



We had 18 people this year.










This is my Mom and my brother, Bill. Sadly, my younger, hotter sister was home sick this Thanksgiving.

Spring Awakening

Last Thursday night I was had the pleasure of being completely spellbound at the opening of the musical Spring Awakening at The Ahmanson Theater. It's about that tricky time in life where you go from childhood to adulthood and all of the choices you're faced with and all of the confusing things happening to you and your body and your friends. It's also about the struggle between teens and the adults around them who don't really know what's happening to them, or choose to ignore it and hope, somehow, it all magically turns out for the best. In this show, it doesn't. It's racy, it's tragic, it's beautiful.
