the new whip

I've recently come to terms with the fact that the factory warranty was almost up on my beloved Land Rover Discovery (aptly named, Dances With Wolves) so I decided to find the best car to replace her with. Just last weekend I bought my new fuel efficient ride, [insert name here]. Gotta think of a new name! She's a 2007 red Audi A3 S-Line. I have wanted her for quite some time. She is insanely fast and not very thirsty. She is awesome. See below.

The King of All That Is KONG

Last night I sat mouth agape for 2 solid hours behind the right shoulder of Donkey Kong Champion Steve Wiebe as he blazed through the game, attempting to recapture the title that is rightly his. Unfortunately, he came up just shy of 900K points but the opportunity to witness him on the machine from level 1 through 21 was more than enough for me. What a rad guy!! This all went down at the afterparty of the screening of the doc, THE KING OF KONG at the Arclight in Hollywood last night. Had to take photos in a dark bar with my iPhone since the Canon battery decided to die right as Wiebe walked in the door....

Fishy Tacos and a Quarter Century of Jonah Ray!

Here's the double party proof!!




Also been on the hunt for a house to buy. Things have been insanely awesome but super scary at the same time-- I mean, how the hell did I get approved for a mortgage anyway??

My younger siser Erin will be moving to our fair city at the end of the month--- look out all you slightly ethnic boys! I can't flippin' wait to have family (not to mention my best friend) in the same zipcode as myself. The parentals are flying out here with her first for a few interviews she has lined up. She then proceeds to fly back to western PA and THEN make the cross country trek in the civic. Seems like flippin' yesterday that I... wait, ew. I'll stop.

Also awesome has been my job and its propect for the future. Let's just say I'll be steadily employed both at disney AND with freelance stuff for quite some time. Weeee! More time to save for house downpayment stuff!

If all that wasn't enough, this just might be mine this weekend. YEAH!!....
