Bee Movie

I went to see "Bee Movie" yesterday and it was really cute! The funniest part was all of the little kids in the movie theater. A few minutes into the previews the little girl in front of me turned to her dad and said "Daddy, where are all the bees?" There were three kids ages about 2-5 behind me who took turns crying for no apparent reason throughout the movie.

The movie itself was good. It had a cute plot and was full of celebrity voices. Also, it is one of the first children's movies in a long time that is actually for children. There were not adult jokes that "the kids won't get", it was actually a clean family movie for once!

Today a friend of mine is having a bachelorette party, which I am really excited about because I have never been to one before. Remember to turn your clocks tonight and I will post about the party tomorrow:)

Writer's Guild of America strike starts Monday.

Writers Strike

The Writers Guild of Amercia has been in negotiations as their contract expired at midnight on Wednesday. Now the strike, which has been a threat for months is about to become a reality. I don't yet know to what extent actors will be affected, but I do know there will be a lot less work. With no scripts, there will be no roles. I do know that the Screen Actors Guild (the actors union that I am a member of) supports the strike and is encouraging all of its members to do what they can to support the WGA members who will be at the picket lines.

Halloween

I had so much fun last night! I went with a group of people to West Hollywood for the big Halloween celebration all along the Miracle Mile. There were bands playing, people dancing and lots of creative costumes. We walked from one end to the other and back again and just hung out and talked to people we met. Everyone was taking pictures with everyone else and it was a really great time.

Happy Halloween!

Ouch

I always have a lot of readers comment to me amused when I injure myself, so I figured I might as well write about my latest shenanigans. Last night I was cooking dinner with my roommates and I was cutting up fresh jalapeno peppers. When I was done, I washed my hands, put the meal in the oven and when to read. While I was reading, I had an itch in my eye, which I proceeded to rub. Somehow, I must not have gotten all of the hot pepper off my hands when I washed them because let me tell you, it BURNED.

I wear contacts and immediately removed them. I flushed my eye with water, but it wasn't helping, it was getting worse. My whole face felt like it was on fire. My one roommate suggested rubbing milk on my cheeks to neutralize the pepper acid. It helped a little and about an hour later when the burning stopped, I tried to put my contacts, which I had rinsed, back in my eyes.

BAD IDEA! The burning started all over again! My eyes feel much better now but I am still wearing my glasses. Not my brightest moment :/
