Stephanie, Gilbert, and a Ferris Wheel

Sounds like a movie title, no? Haha, j/k. It’s just my way of trying to have a random title that’s fitting to this blog ;P

So it’s been busy the past several weeks. Daniel and I moved again. Oi vey. This was my 6.5th time moving since officially moving down to LA 3.5 years ago (6.5 cuz’ I first crashed on my relatives’ couch). We’re in downtown LA now. I never thought I’d live downtown, but after 3 weeks of being here, I’m actually diggin’ it. Our new place is dope… which is potentially a problem. We’ve had visitors almost every single day since we’ve moved here! People come over ’til really late, too… so I’ve been sleeping really late… playing Rock Band ’til past 3am… sometimes ’til 5am… you see why this could be a problem? Haha. >_< The other night, Lanny and Pedro came over and they ended up staying 24 hours! I did a double take at one point, cuz' all of a sudden Lanny was wearing Daniel's clothes. o_O

So what's up with "Stephanie, Gilbert, and a Ferris Wheel" you ask? My clever way of summing up a few events from the past 3 weeks...

Stephanie. My character’s name in Andrew Oh’s short film, “Miracle Mile.” Andrew did a great job directing and the piece turned out really solid. The premiere took place at the Talent 1 Media Film Festival two weekends ago. Daniel and I attended the screening and enjoyed a lot of the films, especially “The Agent” ones. Def looking forward to next year’s TOMFF.

Gilbert. Nickname given to me by Hans of Tatum Jones (maybe I will explain why in another blog). He actually dedicated their song “Wingman” to me at Calista Wu’s CD release last week. Haha. Oh man, Calista was awesome and Bordello was PACKED. I could barely maneuver around peeps as I was trying to help with some filming. It was fun though. Aiko and I danced during TJ’s set then blew bubbles at Calista as she was performing. I also lost my voice screaming “ENCORE!” at Calista, haha. THEN… a few peeps came over afterwards (of course).

Ferris Wheel. Rode one for the first time this past Saturday! Haha. Went out with Daniel’s fam for a pre-Father’s Day dinner in Santa Monica. It was nice. I had some pretty good salmon… but wayyy overpriced IMO (Ocean Avenue Seafood). Walked over to the pier afterwards and after mentioning that I’d never gone up on a Ferris wheel, Daniel went and bought us some tix It was nice, the view was really cool. And no we did not make out up there if you were wondering.

Good times. Until next time’s random blog with a random title…
