Expect the Unexpected…

for example, an empty, pointless post. hi joz!

See you on the other side!

Ok, it’s really sinking in that we have to be out of here in less than 3 days.

We’re going to spend our first night at the new place on an air mattress.

And I’m unplugging my computer & seeing if DSL works at the new place tonight…

…wish me luck!

Doh!

Just received in my inbox

Today the lunch truck was involved in an accident on the way to our location and was not able to service our lot. It maybe a day or so before we have a truck on site.

Sorry and thank you

I hope everyone was ok… No greasy fries for a couple of days, I guess…

Poor YoshiMobile

What do you mean you thought I said something dirty?!

What I said was:

“Ugh! I’m so tired! I was up until 4am packing boxes.”

(I don’t think I’m the dirty one here!)

Last day to vote for Sonya!

Don’t forget to vote for Sonya at this link TODAY!

I watched the clip of the competition yesterday (a cook-off)… did you? What did you think?

This headline caught my eye.

More voting to be done…

…yes, while there are still “questions” about the highly-contested results of the Joz-thong poll and the recent Taiwanese elections, I’d like you to vote on an official poll which will make a real difference to a friend of jozjozjoz.com…

A we heard from our friend, sharky the kid (who, by the way, will soon also be known as the official jozjozjoz moving coordinator™), Sonya Nimri was selected out of 3,000 would-be divas who submitted a 1 minute video and an essay in hopes having their own segment on the Today Show. Sonya, incidentally, is also sharky’s co-worker and friend…

Therefore, I officially throw my endorsement behind Sonya Nimri for Today’s Domestic Diva!

If you’re not convinced to vote for Sonya just because *I* said you should, then you need only to visit Sonya Nimri’s official website: dumpsterdiva.com for some great examples of her work. (It is also where I “borrowed” her picture from, since the one on the MSNBC website is so hard to see.)

The voting page is accessible via this link.

IMs tips from jozjozjoz

Do not start out an IM conversation they way I just did.

joz: ho
joz: hi
joz: I meant
joz: hi
joz: ho
joz: Ugh… this is not going well…

Needless to say, I did not get a response…

Sad realization

It occurred to me this morning as I was walking down the driveway that the reason I wasn’t being mauled by big, giant dogs with pointy toenails & wet noses is because they left this past weekend for Phoenix.

And we didn’t even get to say bye.

*sniffle*

I bought a gun rack!

For reals! at a yard sale today! it is beautiful. the lady that sold it to me said she found it at some antique store or something while driving around the Midwest long ago. and in the center of it she painted a cactus scene, which i just didn’t have the heart to destroy. so i used a crowbar and pried the wood off the back which it was painted on and replaced it with some plywood i bought at a hardware store which i first sprayed with my favorite spray-paint which turns anything into a chalk board. now i have a chalkboard and a gun rack in one! it is beautiful and i have two little cacti, which i purchased to put on the little shelf underneath it. i love my gun rack. now if only i loved guns… but i am gonna ask for one of those huge supersoakers for my birthday so i can fit it snugly on my gun rack (which is capable of holding 4 standard sized shotguns). jozjozjoz will have to come over and take a picture…

Don’t forget:

Spring forward & fall back.

(Or was it the other way around?)
:P

Vote! We need your help!

3,000 would be divas from all walks of live submitted a 1 minute video and an essay in hopes of being choosen to show their stuff.


A wonderful colleague and friend of mine from who works with me at the UCLA Anderson School (yes, Sharky is a Bruin for pay) Sonya Nimri is one of the 3 Deuling Divas!

She’s very talented and could replace big bad Martha in split second with her fabulous dinner parties, interior design, and famous “make something out of nothing” ideas.

But we need your help!

The 3 dueling diva’s will go head-to-head on Monday’s show, competing for the top spot and their own segment on the Today Show with our four favorite friends, Katie, Matt, Al and Ann! Voting takes place this Monday and Tuesday, April 5th and 6th at the Today Show’s Domestic Diva website after the head-to-head competition is over.

So let’s spread the word and help Sonya win her own segment on the TODAY SHOW! Go to the Today Show website on Monday and Tuesday and VOTE!

Send an email to your friends, family and even people you don’t know!

Thanks in advance to you all and …………….GO SONYA!!!!!

Kind of.

All the World’s A Stage (filled with women!)

Vox Femina Los Angeles presents 'All The World's A Stage'

There’s an exciting collaboration between two different kinds of women’s performing arts groups this weekend…

Entitled “All The World’s A Stage”, Vox Femina Los Angeles presents this unique concert of Shakespearean text set to music with scenes performed by the Los Angeles Women’s Shakespeare Company. Highlights include scenes from “Romeo & Juliet,” “Twelfth Night” and more.

Aside from the collaboration itself, what’s unusual about this performance is the fact that all the Shakespeare is being performed completely by women, either theatrically, or in song. If you’ve never been to Zipper Hall (located in the Colburn School of Performing Arts), it is a wonderful venue, directly across the street from the Walt Disney Concert Hall, next to MOCA.

So if you’re in L.A., are you coming? If you’re not in L.A., don’t you wish you were?!

I’m in L.A. and it’s raining outside.

I’m not joking…

… but it does seem like some sort of evil April Fool’s joke, doesn’t it?

if it had only been worse

then i would have a case against the stupid motherfucker (SMF) who left me sans one driver side mirror. but because i reacted well and managed to avoid a more serious accident, the highway patrol said basically it’ll be hard to prove who was at fault for the accident and therefore who is ultimately responsible for the repairs. if i had let the SMF push me into the divider wall or pin me between the wheels of his truck and the divider wall, my insurance would go after the SMF and i wouldn’t have to be dealing with ordering new parts for my car and then being without my car for two days while they fixed it.

i’m not even going to mention the lost wages from today, cuz there’s no way in hell i’m going to work.

NOT an April Fool’s Joke.

Yoshi just called and is PISSED off…

Yosh was on the way to work when a brand new truck with no tags sideswiped(?) the HunnyMobile and broke off the passenger driver’s side mirror.

Yoshi is PISSED OFF, but otherwise fine, but it was basically a hit-and-run & now we have several hundred dollars of car repair to deal with.

I’m sure Yosh will write about it/correct any inaccuracies shortly.

…my gratitude is that my Yoshi is OK!
