Country is Back

Well last year the Los Angeles area lost it's one and only Country radio station KZLA. Both Harry and I along with alot of other people were taken back. KZLA was the number one country station in the US but for some reason they replaced it with Movin', some dance hip hop station. The beginning of this year country came back to LA but in the AM, which isn't the best quality but it was country and we were happy. But today Country comes back to LA on the FM band 105.1 "Go Country'. I guess LA complained enough and they heard us.. I'm so excited that it's back.

"Little" Brother Outing

Well after several tries and rainy days we were finally able to go to the LA Zoo. We had a great time, spent about two hours before he got bored and wanted to come home. It was a fun outing.

Best Buy One More Time

So we took Harry's jeep in to have the radio hooked back up. We haven't had the best experience with these people and it continued. After they installed the radio and then uninstalled the radio they failed to mention that the antenna was broken, which explains why we couldn't get AM and the FM was a hit and miss. But this time we had a much better tech guy and much cuter guy working on the jeep. He said he could replace the antenna for five bucks and all would be well. I was happy to finally get some good news. When he was done he told me he wasn't going to charge me because they didn't have the antenna needed but had an extra one lying around so he used that one. So now the radio and antenna are working great and after a year of no radio Harry finally has his radio. And to top it off our cute Best Buy Tech had a stutter, which made him even more adorable.

Taxes

I know I'm one of those weird people who look forward to Tax time. Today I did my taxes. I have an accountant who has done the the past seven years and he's great. Working in the Entertainment Industry I am lucky that I can write off portions of almost anything to do with entertainment. Every year I get a refund. This years refund isn't as much as I had expected but it's still a refund, so I can't complain.

Harry's Jeep Issues

Well today we took Harry's Jeep's battery to Autozone to have it tested. Come to find out that the battery wasn't the correct battery for Harry's jeep and when we added the radio to it, it was to much for it and damaged it. So we have to purchase a new battery and this coming Saturday we are going back to Best Buy and have them re-hook up Harry's Jeep radio. Wish us luck...

Bella's Baptism

Our friends Jack and Tara recently had a beautiful baby girl. Today was her Baptism. I had never gone to a baptism so I was looking forward to it. There were about six or seven other children being baptized at the same time. It lasted about an hour then we went to one of Jack and Tara's favorite Italian restaurant called Cavi to celebrate. This was your typical Italian feast, it lasted about five hours and there were many courses. All in all a fun night.

More Best Buy Fun

Well we installed a new radio and speakers into Harry jeep last weekend and two days later the battery was dead. We charged the battery and made sure everything was turned off. Well the next day it was dead again. We figure it was the radio so today we took the jeep back to Best Buy so they could check it out. Well they said the radio was hooked properly and they could not explain why the battery was dying. So we decided to remove the radio and see if that was actually the problem. Of course they did this and didn't bother to call us and let us know it was ready so Harry's opened Jeep sat in back of a very dark Best Buy. Finally around 8pm I called and they said.. "oh yeah it's been done.. you can come and pick it up". Luckly it was all there and safe.. but I'm starting to dislike these Best Buy Stereo people.

Curl Girls Again

I worked a few days on my previous show Curl Girls. There was an issue with some of the material that we sent to them and we had to re-do some stuff. I wasn't too happy because I thought this show was done with but since I haven't had a job since the end of Dec. the money will come in handy. As I was fixing these problems more come up and it looks like I'll be fixing a few more problems in the coming weeks. This has turned into the job from hell... I need a new job.

Sarah Jane Adventures

I'm a big Doctor Who fan and I finally got to see the spin off series The Sarah Jane Adventures. Sarah Jane Smith was a companion of the older Doctor Who series and made a guest appearance in the second season of the new Doctor Who series. Her appearance was very well recieved so the decided to do a spin off series for her. It premired in England on Jan 1st but I wasn't able to get it till recently and we watched on our TV night.

I really enjoyed it. I think it had the same feel as the Doctor Who series. Of course Sarah Jane had some advance tech. stuff which some of the people who watched it with me didn't really like but it didn't really bother me. This series is geared towards children and you could tell but I'll watch it when it comes out in April.

Lost is back

After three months of being off the air.. Lost is finally back and I'm so excited. This is the third season and I know some folks are getting tired of the constant questions and very few answers but I still enjoy it and hope they will have some big payoffs coming up. The first six episodes of the season dealt with Kate, Sawyer, Jack and the Others but they are about to get back to the beach with the other surviviors. I miss the other survivors. None stop Lost till the summer... can't wait!!!!

Best Buy Chaos

Well I had bought Harry a radio for his jeep while my Dad bought him speakers. Today we had an appointment at Best Buy for 10am. I figured we would just hang out and wait. So we took just Harry's Jeep. We got there at 10. They said it should take 2 to 2 and a half hours to install.. I thought this was a bit long but the Best Buy we went to had was in a big shopping area so I figured we could keep ourselve busy for that amount of time. Well 2 1/2 hours pass and I don't hear anything. We decide to go and see how things are going. Well they tell me that it's going to be another 3 1/2 hours to finish. I couldn't believe it. There wasn't much I could do since the jeep was all torn apart. Since the Jeep was an older jeep they said it was hard to install the speakers. So since we only brought the one jeep we didn't have much a choice and had to stay in the area for another 3 1/2 hours. We were not happy campers but what could we do. So 5 and a half hours later the radio installation was done. On the way home we had some issues with the radio that we are sitll needing to resolved. Why can't thing ever go as planned.. I guess that's just life.

Magic Mountain

Harry and I are both very avid roller coaster enthusiast. Since Harry has been here we have gone to Magic Mountains many times a year. We had season passes. But since we got Daisy we weren't able to leave her in the apartment alone. But after a year and a half Daisy is doing better staying home alone for about seven to eight hours so now we can get back to our Magic Mountain adventures. So we got 2007 season passes and today was the first day this year we were able to go. We had a great time. It was Super Bowl Sunday so the park was really slow. We did X, Viper, Tatsui, DejaVu, Riddler, Batman, Scream, and Goliath in a matter of five hours. We had a lot of fun.. can't wait to go back.

Harry Potter Book 7

Well they announced the release date for the Seventh and Final Harry Potter book, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. July 21st, 2007.

When I first heard the date I was kind of shocked that it was so soon. We just got the title a few weeks ago and the last we heard on Dec. 19th JK was still writing it. I really didn't expect it until the fall of 2007. Now the month of July is going to be a big Harry Potter month. We have the fifth movie Harry Potter and the Order of the Pheonix coming out on July 13th, then the next week Book 7, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows and the week after that I go to San Digeo Comic con. I plan on wearing my entire Harry Potter outfit to all these events.

This announcment was kind of bitter sweet, I'm happy it's coming out but then again this is the final, last, seventh book of the Harry Potter series. There will be no more, the story will come to an end. Harry Potter is such a huge part of my life. As time goes by I slowly lose my favorite series, First Star Wars than Buffy, than Lord of the Rings, than Star Trek and now Harry Potter. At least we still have two more movies that should take us till 2010. There are going to be many tears they day this book comes out.
