GREEDY

(Look at the date! 1/10/11. 1+10=11! Yes I'm nerdy like that.)

This past weekend has been amazing. I wasn't sure how amazing it was going to be, but it was DAMN AMAZING.

I ran errands on Saturday morning. Dropped off my boots at the shoe repair store--alas, they will not be ready for pick-up until Thursday. How sad! After a short nap, a quick shower, and some last minute packing, I headed down to Irvine to meet up with Tasha. She let me recover from the long drive (which thankfully only took around an hour) before dragging me on an errand. But I was made happy after that because we went to Crepes de Paris and shared their Normandie crepe (read my Yelp review). YUM! We went upstairs to the sticker picture place but their offerings were pretty disappointing and the one machine we wanted was broken so.. forgetaboutit. I wanted to go to 85 Degrees and finally try their Sea Salt coffee but WHOA that line was long. So we just left. We spent the rest of the day watching old Psych episodes (which I had never watched), eating the Curry Chicken and Yam rustica from zpizza (yum), and then watching the beginning half of SNL with Jim Carrey! Very enjoyable Saturday afternoon/night.

Yesterday morning I drove back to LA with Tasha and we attended church together. Afterwards we met up with Christina at Urth Caffe in downtown. (And wow, a lot of YNCCers go there for lunch!) I ordered the Egg and Prosciutto Panini with tomato dipping sauce and it was pretty good. We shared the Matcha Tiramusu for dessert--that was amazing. So delicious. It was really fun hanging out, the three of us--we had not done that in a really long time. We parted ways with Christina and headed back to my house in Arcadia. Watched an old episode of The Pretender together and then I watched the last episode on my disk of Dirt while Tasha showered and got herself pretty for James. We headed over to Zelos for dinner and got their corn and potato pancetta. Hello deliciousness. Then we zipped off to El Centro Theatre for a performance of GREEDY.

OH.EM.GEE. That was such an awesome night! We got to the theatre around 7:15PM and they let the audience in at 7:30 (the performance started at 8). It was creepy because we passed by what looked like a statue on the way in, but it turned out to be one of the characters! Who has the amazing ability to just stand still and not move. At all. The play was definitely a lot different than what I had thought it would be--but definitely for the better. It was dark and shocking and twisting and captivating and just blew me away. Great performances from the entire cast--I thoroughly enjoyed the performance and would love to go see it again.

Afterwards we waited outside the theatre and managed to eventually get everyone's autograph! They were SO NICE. I cannot say that enough. SO NICE! I also got pictures with Kurt Fuller (who was very appreciative that I watch and enjoy Better With You), Brad Raider, Maggie Lawson, and a group picture with James Roday (taken by Maggie!). Maggie was such a sweetheart--she apologised to me twice for making us wait to talk with her! I also unexpectedly got a picture with Diego Klattenhoff and Patch Darragh! They were shocked that I knew who they were and had enjoyed Mercy. Very sweet, both of them. John Landis was even there too! But I was too intimated to ask him for anything.

All in all, it was an AMAZING NIGHT. I look at my autographed playbill and I am filled with overwhelming happiness. ♥
