Transformers

So the last few days have been pretty eventful actually! Got to do some cool stuff over the weekend. I even met Annie Wersching, who plays super hot Renee on 24!















We actually had a legitimate conversation for about five minutes or so about 24's upcoming season, baseball, etc.. haha. She's super cool, funny, and even hotter in person, so that was definitely the highlight of my weekend.

Last night was the Transformers 2 premiere. They went all out with the set up for it, and it was SWEET. Giant Bumblebee, the Optimus Prime truck, etc. Linkin Park played after the movie was over, and they sound JUST as good live as they do on their tracks. It was awesome. I guess some of the funnier moments were that I saw Borat's sidekick walking around after the movie was out, and I was taking a video and right at the end he sort of points at my camera haha.

I saw these two dudes who basically should have been paparazzi. They were chasing around one of the Playboy girls trying to get a picture with her. It was kind of funny to watch, but I don't know if they were successful in their attempts or not.










Red carpet area pre-famous people arrival










Shia Labeouf's Camero on the red carpet










Giant life-size Bumblebee (like this was literally the size of a real Transformer)










Setting up for the Linkin Park concert (I've got vids but no pics so I'll put those up on facebook at some point! Great concert!)

So today I went to Trader Joe's for the first time (a grocery store all my co-workers told me was a lot cheaper than Ralph's). It's a pretty cool place. A lot of stuff is organic but it's not expensive so I might shop there a lot more often. One nice thing about my area is that literally everything is in walking distance, and considering parking is awful around here, it's nice to not have to drive. My parking spot here is $100/month, but it's totally worth it cause there is no way I could deal with looking for street parking everyday, especially considering people get tickets all the time with "street cleaning" on different sides of the street at different days.

Til next timeeee.

They have one in Naperville by Colonial, my mother is obsessed with that store cuz she is addicted to organic products....What did you think of the movie?? Omg I loved it!! I thought it was better than the first!

  2. Hey, you don't know me and I don't know you. I get google updates on Annie Wersching and this happened to be one of them. I was just curious where you met her at? That is pretty awesome, you are lucky!
