movies movies movies

matthew (myself) recently subscribed to netflix in order get his movie fix on a daily basis. he is able to have 2 dvd's out at any one time and can watch certain shows/movies straight from his computer. he has taken full advantage of his subscription as him and his girlfriend have already watched bolt and the taking of pelham 123 and matthew has almost finished the entire first season of man v. food. he definitely recommends that you do netflix as it is AWESOME! and really not too expensive. plus blockbusters everywhere are going out of business

we love crock pots!

so yesterday, i went to wal-mart (ps i hate wal-mart now....long story), and i bought a crock pot! it's amazing and beautiful and wonderful! and right now, we are currently making pot roast and we're soooo excited! i've never made pot roast before (let alone use a crock pot) and we are currently almost an hour into cooking.

so for now, we're just sitting here, wishing and waiting. while we wait, i'll tell you about our wonderful date yesterday. we went to amarin thai in hillcrest and it was AMAZING. i actually found it through the help of yelp, and a lot of people recommended the crab fried rice, so we got that (and a curry...because matt has developed quite the taste buds for curry). the crab fried rice....maybe the BEST thing i've ever had. we love amarin thai and will definitely be going back, especially since the hostess wears mc hammer pants. afterwards, we went to golden spoon and they had SO MANY FLAVORS. we highly recommend cake batter with the butterfinger topping. after we got dessert, hillcrest got kind of shady looking, so we decided it was time to leave (too many hobos and drunk people)...


ps feel free to send up crock pot recipes :)

congrats yankees

you couldn't have done it without kate hudson in your stands.

the lakers are back :)

the start of the new nba season kicked off october 27 (same day as the release of taylor swift's fearless platinum album....really great day for me). currently, we are 4-1 with the addition of ron artest. that guy is a thug and i wish trevor ariza was still in la. anyways, i'm so excited to see what the guys can do this season :)

notes left behind

so i came across this story on the internet yesterday. it's about a 6-year old girl who had terminal brain cancer. this little 6-year old is amazing and her name is elena desserich. elena didn't survive, but she made quite an impact. before she died, she left notes for her parents and her little sister gracie all around the house. all of the notes they've found have been published in a book called "notes left behind." the money the book raise go towards The Cure Starts Now Foundation, an organization battling childhood cancer. Elena was only 6 years old, but she is by far the biggest little rockstar ever





ps. if someone wants to buy me Notes Left Behind, i'll love you forever :)
