My 25th birthday. The one that took place last February. It's been overdue but since he's either been out of town or I've been working and we didn't want to go on a weekend, this week's been the first real opportunity to go.Yesterday was awesome. Fantastic. LEGENDARY if you will.

I hadn't been to a concert in ages and it was the perfect one for my reintroduction to all things musical. Jason had tickets to Monday's show but had to work so he asked if I wanted to try and see them last night. Luckily Ticketmaster still had decent seats so we weren't completely raped by scalpers, which I meghanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14390301221345527541noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6238766.post-1148954369519715012006-05-29T18:54:00.000-07:002006-05-29T18:59:29.553-07:00Three things made me very happy today:1) Ivy called and we went to lunch down at Urth Cafe on Melrose.

I went down to Balboa (Down near Newport Beach - of the OC fame if you will) with my friend Ivy to hang out with some of her USC friends. A bunch of ADPis mostly and their guy friends. One of the girl's parents have a house down there and brought a ton of food and set up an area around a fire pit.

I went to go move my car for street cleaning and when I came back to my apartment, I realized I never put my house key back on my key ring after running yesterday. Ooops.

While I haven't yet achieved the ability to create 4 foot tall works of art, I was pretty proud of my first foray.

The venue was an arena and the theme of the shoot was bullriding. Specifically, a piece of gum riding the bull. Yes, wrigleys has stooped that low. I'm sure it will be some scary piece of gum doing extreme things.

It was good but Crash was better in my opinion. I was most likely affected by all the "best movie of the year" reviews - usually when I hear those I think whatever I see will be amazing and I usually end up disappointed. The acting was great - Heath Ledger was fantastic and he definitely made me cry.
