Eureka moment

So I have a "EUREKA!!!" moment...as I was driving to the board to drop off some files for a hearing I came across the underpass on 4th and Grand, which is a spot they filmed at for the Soloist. Then, I finally solved the where was that from the movie 500 days of summer. its a small park over on 4th and olive. i had driven by it sooo many times, but i had never noticed it from that angle, driving from south to north, but today as i drove west to east i discovered it!!! im so happy. :)

The movies that I AB-SO-LU-TE-LY love!

I know its a bit early, but here are some of my favorite movies of 2009:

1. 500 Days of Summer

2. Law Abiding Citizen

3. The Soloist

4. Amelie (not a 2009 film, but a great film nonetheless)

5. Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs

6. Up

7. Ugly Truth

8. Fast & Furious 4

Just a few that I can think of that I really did love and enjoyed. I think my all time favorite for this summer is 500 Days of Summer. Especially since it was all filmed in LA and I know where to find the majority of the film locations in LA.

Life throws curve balls at you, you...

...learn to make the best of the situation and start all over again. I apologize for the lack of blog posts lately. I've been quite busy lately. I started working for a law firm here in Los Angeles after I got laid off from the non profit I was working at. I literally went a week without a job, then I managed to snag another one. I used craislist and was able to find one! Not only that but I also came across this other law firm that is based in NYC but have an office here in LA. So I applied and I got an interview. So I'm waiting for my date and time confirmation. Hopefully that goes well because its better pay and there are perks involved as well. So I'm keeping my fingers crossed that I get that job offer. And, yes I will quit at the current law firm I am working at. If not then I'll continue working at the law firm for the next 6 months and try to pay off my car and loans as much as possible. Still giving it a bit of time until I apply for the teaching credential and graduate school. I'm seriously reconsidering taking the GREs again. Maybe now that I am working I'll be able to afford them and possible set up a concrete date to take them and study for them as I should. I haven't had much time for sewing. :( I have a skirt to finish and I also need to organize/clean up my sewing area, which is really me having all of my sewing items on my desk. But this is it for now. I have a lunch date to keep. The fall here in LA is processing. Last night it got down to the mid 50s and I have to admit I was a bit cold. LA has made me soft again. *sigh* I miss DC very much still. I wonder if I'll ever get over the fact that I left DC after I had fallen in love with it. 

I have found the perfect pump & flat!!

yes, Marais shoes are amazing!!!! I'm about to order the two tone flat and the perfect pump. They are gorgeous!

Long time....

I know its been a while since I last blogged. A lot has been happening these past few weeks. 1. I got a new job at a law firm in LA. 2. I finally finished my first commercial pattern successfully. 3. I've been so busy with school and band boosters. 4. I've finally got my wireless up and running, which means no more fighting for the ethernet cord with my younger siblings! Will post more later on today after work!
