I miss Denzel!

I video chatted with my cousin Denzel (yeah, a Vietnamese kid name Denzel) yesterday on Skype.  Momazel and Papazel are both in Saigon, Vietnam until the end of the year.  They've been keeping up with me through my blog.  Check out Denzel showing off his muscles... So nice!  HAHA  I miss you guys!

HOLLYWOOD is getting MADE OVER!

TONIGHT: Friday, October 17th Hollywood is getting "Made Over" at Highlands hosted by the lovely ladies of MADE Jewelry.

RSVP at HelloMadeJewelry@gmail.com

See you there!

Welcome back DJ AM...

Last night DJ AM was back at it again on the 1s and 2s after his tragic plane accident with Travis Barker (Blink 182).  Going back to work after a prolonged absence always  sucks.  Unless it's to perform with Jay-Z at the re-opening of the Hollywood Palladium.  HOVA!

I'm glad to see DJ AM back in the scene... LAX on Sunday???

The Transporter

Tuesday I took a day trip up to LA with Edwin (Segue Mag) and Neill to drop of Arik (Segue Mag) at LAX. Arik was on his way over the "Land of the Rising Sun" aka Japan to visit his significant other.  

After we dropped off Arik, we hit up a hidden cafe shop in Echo Park for lunch.  Good find Neill!  Then it was off to the usual shops off of La Brea, Melrose, and West Hollywood.  We also ran into Curtis (DunkXchange) and Idah (DC Shoes) at Bape.  It was great running into them.  I was excited to shop and spend some money but I ended up leaving empty handed.  Everything was either too expensive or I could get it in SD at a discount.  I was kinda bummed...

Since there was hella traffic we decided to make a few pit stops to eat and visit Anna's new apartment near UCLA.  It was a nice short get-away from San Diego.  Kanye West was having his listening party for his upcoming album "808 and Heartbreakers" and DJ AM was having his Welcome Home party that night in Hollywood, but we decided to leave the partying for the weekend.  I heard both events were crackin'!!!

I'll be heading back up to LA on Friday to celebrate "Made Over" with the ladies of MADE Jewelry, and the birthdays of Verna Robles and Jenny Chu.  Should be fun!!!  Come out and join us!

Smart Car Conversions

I've been doing a lot of research on cars lately in hopes of getting one before the end of the year.  I came across these Smart Car conversions on the Vapors blog that are both environmentally and economically friendly.  HAHA. 

With the price of gas still hanging up in the $3.50+ range (not for long with the financial meltdown), fuel efficiency is the name of the game. Looking around Dallas, we have started to see a lot more scooters and tiny cars that look perilously small against the F-350 Superhuge Trucks, but whiz around the streets nonetheless. Our personal favorite mode of transportation is the bike, then the Ruckus, then it might have to be the smart car. These things have been in Europe for a long while, but we’re sure you have seen them by now. Anway, take a look at some photoshopped, err, prototype Smart Car conversions.

And finally, for the discerning Smorche customer, there is the Smorche Carrera GT:

I wonder how I'd look in one... HAHA

Springfield Punx - Simpons by Dean Fraser

Over the years, The Simpsons cartoon series has taken many real-life personalities and Simpsonized them for the cartoon screen with many notables done in Matt Groening’s signature style. Calgarian artist Dean Fraser takes it one step further to apply The Simpsons theme over many notable pop-icons from the comic book world as well as the real-world entertainment personalities. For the month of October, he’s been releasing a steady stream of one Marvel character per day which can be seen at Springfield Punx.

I want to be created into a Simpson's character!

Let the games begin...

Girls (1-4) vs. Guys (4-1)
The guys had the girls numbers for the first 4 matches...
Since the girls lost they had to put ketchup on their faces as a consequence.  It was so stupid that it was funny... HAHA

The guys lost the last match (b/c of Rolando) so we had to put our choice of condiment on our face as a unibrow.  Mustard x Ketchup
Time for a shot!
