Two screenings of a pair of comedy’s in 2 days! I’m happy to say that “Funny People” is FUNNY. There are lots of good laughs and the story makes sense, plus since there are so many comedians in it and it’s about their everyday lives (in a way) I also felt like I was sitting at a comedy club. Myspace makes a cameo in the movie, as do Rza, Eminem (Hip-Hop is EVERYWHERE!) and Ray Romano, to mention a few names…but let me not forget James Taylor – one of my Dad’s all-time favorite musicians, very cool and FUNNY to see him pop up! One of the things I loved most about the movie, besides the jokes, wit and sarcasm, is how the story had a heart and I could relate to the characters and situations. Don’t tell anyone, but I think I’m gonna go work on my “standup” now! haha
I had to take an “emergency” trip to Phoenix to handle some unexpected repairs at my house, and it turned into a 3-day marathon of home improvements. We’re talking new carpets, painting all the walls and garage door, as well as fixing, replacing and DEEP cleaning of the entire house…among other things!
Thank goodness my friends Reina, Christy and Angie were around to lend their helping hands and keep me sane. Reina even created task lists and kept me focused!
Reina and I also made several Home Depot runs and discovered “Stardust Building Supplies” in Mesa, where you can find things like replacement toilet tank covers (yes, I needed to replace a damaged one)!
I’m so amazed at what we accomplished in just a few days…I guess I should’ve filmed it and turned it into an episode of Extreme Home Makeover or something for HGTV! lol
Natasha Lipshtick can read lips…well “lip prints” anyway! So I puckered up…it was fun and insightful! Here are a few things she told me that didn’t make the edit: “when it comes to love you really analyze the person and decide if it’s right for you or not” and “a poem or write something to you, you would really appreciate it, it would means more to you than maybe spending thousands of dollars because you know that he really cares.” Awww… She also said I have “green” aura…I hope that means money! lol
Last week I emceed the Victoria Lopez Castro fashion show to benefit the Red Cross, Broward County chapter. She is a great designer and the show was fabulous! I was even outfitted in one of her original designs for the event. Here are a few pictures from the show…
So I’m jumping on the TWITTER bandwagon! I’m not really sure what it’s good for yet, but we shall see! I guess people just put random things to answer the question: WHAT ARE YOU DOING? You can follow me at http://twitter.com/aubreyanne
Deco decided to do a “year-ender” with clips from some of my more memorable segments throughout the year…funny but there seems to be a “certain” theme! I guess I gotta stay in the gym for 2009 too, if I keep doing THOSE kind of stories! lol Happy New Year…see ya next year!
