The Day After

Uff. I. Am. Sore!

It was quite the event yesterday and I'm slowly starting to recover. Having about four hours of accidental sleep, I consider myself more fortunate than most to get that much sleep. There was a guy named Ron who walked the entire 24 hours! 

Such an inspiration, to quit whining. 

I have to dedicate my long lasting energy to sugar free red bull. There's was a point of so much energy that I think I started dancing... In public. Stranger things have happened. 

Over all the event raised $45k in support of the ACS, and I was proud to be apart of it. Albeit a little bit sleepy. 

Until next year!

Relay for Life

Today's the day of Relay!

We've been doing this event this last two years and it's always fun to see what happens each year.

Usually the day starts off with the camp set up. Then Duchess Riot divies up their black and pink gear so that we all look coordinated.

Last year was super hero themed.

The opening ceremonies start to pump up the jams and the whole event takes a lap around the track with the survivors going first. 

Then the day begins! It's a slew of water balloon tosses, egg passes, dance competitions, watermellon eating races, bra putting on races(?), cardboard car races...

or in our case tank races. And then the anual tradition:

Dione and I getting married

Needless to say it's a great event for a bunch of comedians. So if you feel like joining us in a good cause make your way down to Walter Reed Middle school in North Hollywood. We'll be the booth with an obscene amount of pink. It'll be hard to miss! 

And if you can't make the event today, g'head and help a sista out!

Oh holy Season 2 my friends.

That was Amazing! I'm honestly so glad to be living in an era with such amazing tv right now. Not only that but having the access to it all, I feel incredibly lucky.

I friggin love the relationships on this show, and I find it way more relatable than Girls. Even though yes, I am not in prison, clearly, but the dynamics of their relationships are incredibly well rounded. I can not speak more highly of this show and if you have Netflix I beg you to watch it. The writing staff is like a mix between the rhythm of Breaking Bad and the power shifts of Game of Thrones, with a much needed dose of realism. It wonderful and the writing staff, cast, and crew all deserve a standing ovation.

And for godsakes SOMEONE please talk to me about the end of season 2!!!

Me at E3!

Today's blog I'm going to scoot you along to another blog I wrote that was released today. It's the reviews games I demoed and previewed at E3 so go take a look!

Yes this is semi cheating, but I did write quite a bit more in that blog! It's only day 87!

Early

I am not an early morning person.
I have never been an early morning person.

My sister was a notorious "don't wake me up early" person in that she would roll out of bed swinging at anyone who dared to wake her up.
And yet I insist upon taking up jobs that make wake up in the early morning.
Am I a masochist?

Mostly it's because I want to be productive, get the work nonsense out of the way before the best part of the day comes around. The night!
But unfortunately by the time it gets to three o'clock I'm so over the day.

But I've got things to do, as we all know I'm supppperrr busy. And by the time I get to sleep its near midnight and I have to be up in five hours or less.

I've been taking a great B12 mix to up my energy and that's really been helping, you know paired with piles of coffee and the occasional swig of crack cocaine*
 Ok, I think that settles it, I'm definitely a masochist. Why on earth do we do this to our bodies?


*Crack cocaine is a term in this instance signifying Red Bull

World Cup Acting

I used to play soccer, or footie for you purists out there, and I know the gamut of injuries that can occur. But none of those prepubescent scrapes could ever prepare me for the phenom that is World Cup Acting.

Now something like this from yesterday's match between USA and Ghana, this was an injury

Home boy Dempsy legitimately got kicked in the face, and it was a beauttttiiifffulll kick too.

Then we've got this debacle which took me a second before I realized the trick this dude throws.
It's AMAZING.

If you're not into watching the World Cup for the sports or the nationalism, then I suggest watching it for the drama. It get pretty heated and the theatrics are some of the best acting since Degrassi

90 Day Challenge

It has come to my attention that I have been sorely lacking in the area of writing. 

(She wrote after nearly a 2 years of not writing in this blog)

I love writing, as it helps me work through the randomness of my life, and becuse of it I've decided to do a 90 day challenge. 

Yes. 

90 Days of writing. 

Uff. 

The very thought of that is makes me take bets on myself on what day I'll quit, but I'm hoping by the end of that 90 days to come out with a solid everyday writing habit. Although I know exactly how these things usually go for me.

It's like working out. I'll plan to work out for say... a week (gross), you know keep it simple so I don't crap out on it and by Friday I can feel fully accomplished! But usually, I'll take the first two to three days seriously, make an excuse on day three, and by day four I've already quit. 

Cuz I'm consistent like that.

This may go that way, but since I don't have to break a sweat typing, this might also be a little more doable and exciting! And what better day to start on a habit than a Monday morning! 

So happy Monday to you all, and may the 90 days be as fun for you as they will be for me!
