Not so Pretty in Pink
Well, sometimes it seems my life with Melissa is constantly interconnected. Due to the Comedy Night we run at Barneys Beanery in Pasadena every Monday night, we were asked to ‘host’/bartend an 80’s themed birthday party last weekend. We may have been a little too overexcited for the job.
Melissa already owned a lovely peach-colored, full lace dress. Hideous is too light a...
"Man on Wire"
Having come back from a near tv/movie void, I’ve been excited to see some movies. Sadly, a title like ‘Bangkok Dangerous’ gives me little to be excited about.
