I have fallen in love with THIS. 

Oh, you weren’t expecting overly expensive wall paper? Ha! 

I really want to cover the wall behind my bed in this paper. I wonder if one roll would be big enough to cover the whole wall. I should measure this. I will measure this.

In other news, did anyone watch The Bachelor: Shawn Tells All last night? What was with the porn-ending with him in the shower? Holy embarrassing! I tried to watch Smash last night and either this wasn’t the season premiere or I didn’t watch the end of last season? Oh well. I finally caught up on Homeland. I still need to finish off Downton Abbey…  there’s always more TV to be watched. I’m glad the Amazing Race and Survivor are back though.

In non tv updates, I’ve been learning to play the guitar which has been fun. 

I booked a trip to Los Angeles, San Francisco and Vegas in early June and I am stoked! 

Also, these 6 videos are pretty:

This was on facebook a while back and I LOL’d.

Having lived in both places… i concur!

So in January I went to LA and posted about a gazillion pics on Facebook, but here are some highlights from the trip. I had SUCH A GOOD TIME! I will be going back in June for a wedding–and I’ll be driving from LA to San Francisco and then from San Fran to Las Vegas (through Yosemite). If anyone has any suggestions on what to do/see for like A DAY in San Fran (I think i’m now thinking we should stay near Union Sq) I’m looking for suggestions! Anyhow, here are some of the LA pictures:

I saw the Chinese Theater, Venice Beach, Manhattan Beach…

I drove by Kat Von D’s tattoo shop and Wonderland (yes, i’m a dork, I saw the mural too) and we went to the Getty where we had fun imitating statues
 
 
The Getty was amazing, the sunset was SO cool!

  
I really liked the Venice Canals as well. 

  
Griffith Observatory was neat as well. The views…
  
On my last day in LA I went to Rodeo Drive followed by a bus tour through Beverly Hills. I did the celeb house thing.. it was secretly awesome!

  
Also went by The House Of Blues, Viper Room, Whisky Go-Go and things like that. Oh, the star gate is Ringo Starr’s place. 

I TOUCHED THE PACIFIC for the first time. I’d never been to CA before. Again, it really was a great trip. The weather was gorgeous and my friends who I went to see were awesome. I had a great time with my 4 year old bestie, JJ too

Then in early February I went to see Fun. at Radio City Music Hall:

  
  
  
  
It was a good show. Later that week I went and listened to Charles Grodin and Art Garfunkel talk about the Songs of America documentary (which we watched first).
And of course there was blizzard fun to be had at my place during Nemo. We made snowmen, played with Play D’oh and frolicked in the snow…
  

Happy 2013!
