The Last Cemetery screening of the summer!!!!! Oh No.

And I didn't attend one screening this Summer.

Shame on me... well at least the hubby made it to one. I've been a busy Little Miss.... been working...and working on getting work.

Anyways, this coming Saturday is the last Screening at the Hollywood Forever Cemetery.... and its is a doozy. They will be screening Night of the Living Dead. Yep, a horror flick... not for everyone... but should be a lot of fun to watch in such a large group of people, in such a place!!!!

Its always a good time... gotta go early cause these screenings are popular... and I have no doubt this one will be as well... oh and when I say early... I mean at least 2 hours...

sucks I know...

but the good thing... you can bring in blankets, low to the ground chairs, food, beverage, and yes that includes alcohol. So, you can eat while you wait and chat and stuff... meet some new friends as they wait in line...in front and behind you.

Oh yeah, one suggestion... it gets cold laying on the grass at night...so bring layers!!!

Gates open at 6:30pm

Move is at 8pm

Tickets by donation (Suggested $10)

Check out their website for more info.

So... Malibu Wines.. in the hills north of Santa Monica
They do Wine tastings... ummm.. yummm...

They do tastings every day starting at 11am

The Movie nights are pretty cool... they are every Thursday at 7pm

Royal/T

Royal/ T
I want to go there. Now.

This space looks A Mazing!!!!

it is rather new to LA, actually Culver City.

Royal/T is a cafe/shop/ and art Space all rolled into one.

Okay, So Royal/T is modeled after some cafes in Japan, there is one called The Maid Cafe (Meido Kissa). At this cafe the wait staff (women) wear maid uniforms. Okay a bit pervy I know. That is so not why I want to go. I want to go for the experience. Royal/T has exhibitions in it, as well as artwork from the owners collection, all the art is very contemporary, very japanese focused.

The food in the cafe is japanese, with items such as Vegetable Gyoza, Tuna Tataki, Grilled Miso Chicken and Green Tea Soba Noodles.

But....

they also have High Tea!!!!!!

FUN!!!!! it comes with desserts and pastereis on a 3 tiered tray... I mean come on......

they bring you your own 3 TIERED TRAY!!!!!! I am a nerd I know... but that is soooo cute.

can you imagine a super cute maid bringing you a pot of tea and a 3 tiered tray with dessert on it? Not to mention you are surrounded by great art and fun things to buy.

Royal/ T,

Where have you been all my life?

Swap yo stuff this weekend!!

Okay,

So summer is here, and we probably did not do our spring cleaning.

Which means, you have stuff you want to get rid off.

This Saturday at the Noho PAC (Performing Arts Center)

will be a Swap Fest, The 2010 Frugal Festival Summer Swap if you want the official name!!!

Okay, so here is how it works

You got stuff: lightly used: shoes, clothes, CD's, DVD's, video games, jewelry, accessories, books, home decor

You want more stuff, cause we are human, and thats what we do.

So you bring your stuff, between 10am and noon on Saturday, and $5 and you can come in and swap stuff with others.

If you dont have stuff to swap... but you want more stuff.... then you bring $10 and you get stuff.

Everyone is given a reusable bag to shop with, YAY!!!!!

and there are a lot of prizes and such.

Not to mention this is good for Los Angeles.

plus many more items.

Oh, and click the link above for directions, address, times and any other questions you have!!!

Take A Hike!!!!

No Seriously,

Take a hike.

Why not, there are so many great trails here in SoCal there is bound to be one you have never been on before. There are some breathtaking views once you get to the top. Depending on where you hike you have great views of Mailbu and the ocean, great views of the city, great views of the Valley and beyond. One of my favorites is the hike up to the Observatory its a great one that is only about 3 miles round trip, and once you get to the top you have access to the observatory and all it has to offer. The hikes over in the Santa Monica Mountains are gorgeous, but tough. Once you get to the top though you forget about all the blood, sweat and tears you shed on your way up.

But the hike I am talking about today is I guess what you would call a destination hike. I have heard about this hike and have not done it yet, I plan on doing it this week with the hubby... cause why not!!!

Anyways, I am told there is a hike to The Giving Tree.

Yes.... The GIVING TREE!!!!!

I am intrigued...and now that the weather is super sunny I wanna go.

Here are the directions:

1. Off of Franklin turn north on Canyon Drive, it is one block East of Bronson.

2. Follow Canyon Dr. past the gates to Griffith Park, keep driving until you cannot drive any further.

3. Start the walking trail. ( I will update this with more info once I do the hike)

4. Apparently there will be a dragon on the right.

5. Keep going as you pass an open field.

6. You will see a small brook, follow the path as it winds around, you will be able to see the Hollywood Sign.

7.The trail should open up, keep going, just as you go around another corner on the right, on the side of the cliffs edge you will see the tree. The tree is overgrown, with branches touching the ground.

8. You know you have found the right tree when you see a red box at the foot of the tree.

9. Leave your thoughts, prayers whatever it is you would like to leave, with the tree.

I am super curious about this hike.

I dont think its a difficult one, but who knows I could be shocked.... I'll keep you posted on the hike.

I'm Excited I might take my book up there and read it to the tree.... but then that probably sounds a bit crazy.

Anyways.... Go take a hike!!!!

If anyone has any favorite Hikes, I would love to know about them, I'm trying to spend more time outdoors.

At work... on a Saturday

Hey all.

Hows things with you all?

If you havent noticed I have a hard time keeping up with this blog when I am working.

I really have every intention of hopping on...but when I work I am working like a million miles an hour, and doing this for 12 hours a day...and all I wanna do when I get home is zone out to a good book, or some bad tv.

Now I know what you are thinking... isnt the name of my blog... DO SOMETHING... why yes it is.

So I need to do something, and I will...but I am not going to promise you I will be better...we have all been there before... we know what empty promises those are.

I will not utter those words... I am going to do stuff though. I need to have a life outside of my job, and I will. I also really need to go to the gym... thats step one.

Do something... go to the gym!!!!!

Anyways, I hope everyone else has been doin stuff. Movies, theater, going to the park, the beach, hiking... there are endless things to do here in this massive city.

This weekend I am going to a friend of mine, Andrews annual Oscar party... its a dress up party...not sure I can do it... not sure I can get all pertty and watch the Oscars...

I need to be comfortable... maybe I can just throw on a tie and have that count?

Alrighty people....

DO Something this weekend!!!

Okay... I know I am a flake...

But I am between jobs right now... so I have some time on my hands...

todays post...yes its lame!!!

but it a promise to you...and myself.. because I need to make sure I am on board as well...

that I will not ignore my blog anymore... it is an important outlet for me...

A lot of cool stuff is coming up!!!!

So it is my duty to share it with you all.

So have a great rest of your weekend!!!

and I will be back later this week!!!!
