The Monster Mash

on wednesday i had another work party to attend. i completely forgot my camera so i stole some pictures from one of my friends because it was AMAZING!!

one of the managers and his talent threw a big halloween party. it was called "Wintner's Nightmare Bash" and it was themed with all the Tim Burton characters.

i won't lie. Paul Wintner definitely knows how to throw a party. he had hired professionals to walk around. to name a few, there was batman, the joker, jack skeleton, willy wonka and even edward scissorhands.



this guy was amazing. he NEVER broke character. he even had the voice down. he and i had a special love affair throughout the night. every time i'd turn around there was edward waiting to cut my hair for me.

he had life sized replicas from "the nightmare before christmas"





costumes of course were optional so that meant that i did not dress up. i actually had to go right from work as it was in hollywood and i didn't want to get caught in a big line to get in.



that's aric, me, jody, and annika. and looking at this picture just made me realize how short i am.

another great night in my mildly fancy life.

Maybe I do have an exciting life

i was having lunch with some co-workers at Katsuya. it's this AMAZING sushi restaurant in Studio City. now, for those of you that don't like sushi trust me, you'd like it here. for those of you that have visited and are wondering "why have i never heard of this place? why did you not offer to take me there?"

good question. it is, however, a little on the fancy side. not in decor or atmosphere but in price alone. but believe me, it's worth it. it's a nice little treat every now and then.

but i digress.

back to my fancy life.

while Katsuya is NOT fancy. my life is fancy.

and so are my friends.





that's my cup there /\


you know how you go to a restaurant with more than four people and they ask you "would it be ok if we put you at tables beside each other?" you really want to sit together but you are also REALLY HUNGRY and really want to eat so you say "sure, that's fine"

well, my good friends Bret and Jemaine (you might know them as flight of the conchords) desperately wanted to go to lunch with me and my co-workers (like i said, i'm fancy)

why aren't we sitting with them you ask?

like i said, we were too hungry to wait
:)

Stuck in the Middle

ok, so i named this blog middle child syndrome because i thought it was cool. and yes, i do have a degree in psychology, but i still did an internet search to refresh my memory on what the middle child syndrome entails.

in case you're wondering. i don't have it. here's a few reasons why.

according to some random internet sites that are probably completely inaccurate ...

I am what is known as a 66. since 2 of the three of us are both female, we make up 66% of the gender ratio. these people are so creative.

(nicole, in case you're wondering, G-Mak is what is known as a Carnie Bird -- that's much cooler than 66)

The long and short of it ..
apparently, i'm ignored, feel like i'm not the favorite, detest the limelight, am not an overachiever and a bunch of other crappy stuff.

on the contrary, i'm never ignored, have always been the favorite of not only my parents but of both siblings, am ok with everyone looking at me, am positively immaculate at everything i try and a whole bunch more wonderful things.

i'm really glad i looked that up!

anyway, the title will stay because i don't feel like changing it.
so, i'm writing a blog for a couple of reasons.

A)
i live far away from my family so it will be good for the kids to see pics of me so they remember what i look like

B)
this will make my mother feel like she can "look in" on me

C)
both nicole and ryan have one so i want one too!

and now for the obligatory picture:

yup, i'm the one in the middle ...
