weekend recap

Had a really mellow weekend. I took some random snaps so thought I’d post them here…



Wicked on Friday! (I know you hate it, Ricardo. :P) I loved it but overall I don’t think the singing voices of this touring cast (save for David Nathan Perlow as Fiyero) are as strong as the LA cast I saw a few years back at the Pantages. That’s ok, though. I totally have the original Broadway soundtrack on repeat right now anyway.

Rob got really sick on Saturday morning so he pretty much slept the entire day. I hung out with Diesel and watched The Romantics (it wasn’t very good – Katie Holmes was miscast; her role needed a more subtle and nuanced actress — she and Anna Paquin probably should have switched).



I recently downloaded the Instagram app for my iPhone and LOVE playing around with it. Diesel is my favorite subject. Of course.



Another Diesel pic from last week for good measure. He can be such a lazy bum sometimes.



Rob felt much better today so we ran some errands (Target, I love you!) and picked up frozen treats at Pinkberry.



To close out the weekend, we made a really yummy gumbo for dinner. My friend Jason used to cook this on cold, rainy nights in the Bay Area and while it was neither cold nor rainy here in SoCal today, this gumbo really brought me back to those days. Love that food can evoke good memories.

And that was my low-key weekend. How was yours? 🙂

  1. Diesel is so cute! Sounds like you had a great (low-key) weekend! Mine was filled with cycling (watching not actively cycling) and partying. 😉

  2. BTW, I remember the Fiyero from the time we watched it wasn’t very strong, so at least this one made up for that 🙂

  3. Hooray for Jason’s gumbo! We miss you! Any plans to come back for a few days anytime soon?

  4. I’ve said it before…I LOVE WICKED! Going to see it FINALLY on Broadway next month too! 🙂 Woohoo! I want to say when I saw it LA, that cast was my favorite too. 😉 Ask me again after I see it in NY tho. 😉 Still DO NOT understand RL’s dislike for it…he doesn’t know what he’s missing! 🙂

    Have yet to try a Pinkberry (they don’t have them in HI). What’s your favorite flavor there?

    How was Dianna Agron in The Romantics?

  5. If you suddenly can’t find Diesel it’s because I have dog-napped him and brought him to live with me in Canada 🙂 He’s so cute!

  6. Hi Ruby! Yes! I’m supposed to travel up to SF sometime in April — I’m hoping the week of 4/11. I’ll let you know when it’s all confirmed. 🙂 I’d love to see you!

  7. Oohhh! So jealous you’re going to see Wicked on Broadway! I’d love to go to NY (haven’t been there in probably 20 years!).

    I love Pinkberry — but it is slightly more expensive than other yogurt places like Yogurtland. My fave flavor is the Original but the Pomegranate and Chocolate flavors are solid too. They have a special Lychee flavor now that sounds yummy. If you see one when you’re in NY or CA, you should definitely try it out.

    Dianna had a pretty minor role in The Romantics — she was only in a handful of scenes. But I think she did a pretty good job with what she was given. And even though she still played a teenager, it was cute to see her be a different character than Quinn. 🙂

  8. um, i DO know what i’m missing, cuz i didn’t miss it! well, i guess technically i missed the first half cuz i fell ASLEEP!!! BOOOORING!

    We missed you guys at Erica’s bday party!

  9. I’m watching The Romantics right now. I like the cast interactions but I agree that Katie Holmes is miscast.
