Hey readers! I am sorry for the absence from the blogosphere, I have been sick for the past week. I plan on visiting all of your blogs this weekend and catching up (as I watch Gossip Girl Season 2 on Netflix which I have yet to see!).
This week has been crazy for me. Last Friday I went to see Funny People, Saturday was a bachelorette party, No Doubt concert Sunday, was supposed to go to a Chelsea Lately taping Monday but we got there too late, 26th birthday Wednesday, The Action Design show tonight, and finally, birthday parting Saturday. Whew!
So for now I'll give a recap of the show I caught on the No Doubt comeback tour. In a word: amazing!
As far as comebacks go, this was probably the concert of the year, with Britney a close second. So many people I know went to one of the many LA-area concerts. I believe they added five or six extra shows due to high demand. So even though our seats were far back, it was well worth it!
The band played all of the classics and the crowd went wild the entire night. It was actually my first time seeing them live, despite my admiration since the days of Tragic Kingdom. Nothing compares to the "Just a Girl" video. The day I saw that video, I was hooked.
Gwen looked amazing, but almost too amazing. Her abs are incredibly defined. A little more than I like to see on women though. Good for her for being so fit, but I like her looking more femenine. I will say though, seeing her has inspired me to start going to the gym regularly!
Her outfits were hot, but they were more Gwen Stefani than Gwen from No Doubt. As I mentioned in a post a few months back, I prefer her style circa about 1995. That said, she was rockin' some great outfits. I especially loved her main getup and a sparkly black top she wore for the encore.
Overall, the concert was unforgettable! It was one of the best I have ever been to and I am so lucky I got to experience the return of No Doubt.
Did anybody else catch one of the concerts? If so, what was your most memorable experience of the night?
The two, Kim who is 28 and Reggie, 24, dated for over two years. A long time in Hollywood standards.
I really thought they were a cute couple and seemed great for each other. Too bad it didn't work out. Hopefully both of them are happy though, that's all that matters.
I was that kid in high school that knew what she wanted to be when she grew up--a journalist. Inevitably I went directly into that major in college. The only time I faltered is when I couldn't get my classes and was forced to spend an extra year in college. Instead of giving up on my dream, I added a second major, American Studies. So I guess it wasn't that bad, I got two degrees out of the inconvienence =) Anyways, my last job I was definately in a journalism postion. I wrote articles and was a managing editor for a successful blog. Now, not so much. I get to write here on JTG, but it's not the same. This blog is really casual of course.
So last week you can imagine my surprise and excitement when I was contacted by a writer at the NY Post (famous for Page Six)! I was asked to do an interview regarding a taping of the upcoming movie "Funny People."
At the begining of the year I had the opportunity to see Adam Sandler, Seth Rogen, and countless comedians do standup in LA which would be used for the movie. Somehow the NY Post writer came across my blog post (read it here) and wanted to get my insight into the night!
Of course I agreed and did the interview, which came out this past Sunday. Unfortunately he must have not liked the movie because the article wasn't exactly positive. My quote used wasn't the best out of all that I provided, but it was used to accomplish what he was going for I guess.
Check out the NY Post article now to see my five seconds of online quotage fame =)
Also, be sure to catch the flick this weekend when it opens in theaters.
Here's a video of one of the actors, Aziz Ansari, in character, playing Raaaaaaaandy (that's with eight A's). He's so hilarious, even though the jokes are pretty dirty. I hear he isn't in the movie much, but I give him props for being such a "funny person."
My birthday is approaching and I will be having friends over, many for the first time. Well I want to make a great first impression so I thought I should actually decorate my patio, which I sadly have yet to use. Look how lonely the patio is...which is mere yards away from the complex pool that I also haven't used either.
A quick way to spruce up the space? Outdoor lighting courtesy of Target!
This is the lighting that I went with. I chose it because the look of the lights goes well with my iron and the design on it.
Here are some more sets of lights. I really wanted all of them because they are all so adorable:
