BENDER'S BIG STUDY BREAK

a tv show that is funny is nice and all, but a tv show that sponsors a study break during finals-season by giving students some tasty eats is awesome in my book!

so when futurama decided to promote the release of the fifth volume of it's shows on dvd, andrea and i happily went and ate the tasty Dr. Zoidburg-ers and Philip J. Frys (courtesy of Chuckbox) and Bender's Blenders (from Juice it Up) that were provided :)

this was actually a pretty cool thing they were doing all over the country at quite a few universities. and if i wasn't already planning on getting the dvd's myself i think this little marketing ploy would help me make up my mind about it. thanks futurama!

Celebrate good times COME ON!

It’s no secret that the best pizza in the valley can be found in a little place called Oregano’s. Cracker thin crust, fresh toppings, and it doesn’t even seem bad for you! Well, in celebration of Andre, my brother Christopher, my Grandpa Frank, and my Mom being borned AND in celebration of me getting the super-awesome co-op described here, WE ALL WENT TO OREGANO’S!!!!!!

This was awesome for several reasons:
Celebrating is fun
Time with grandpa frank is always special
WHAT MORE DO YOU NEED

Fun times included my mom’s favorite antipasta salad, my FAVORITE pizza (sproccoli pizza [spinach, broccoli, and garlic] on a thin crust WITH roma tomatoes and sliced meatballs added) as well as my grandpa’s favorite (numero one-o) and even art time with the pieces that fell on the table

Mmmm mmm mmm. Good times in Tempe, Rock City!

I GOT THE CO-OP

From the beginning of January til the end of June I will be the happiest little helper over in the Marketing Department at the Neutrogena Corporation in Los Angeles.

Supposedly I’ll be working on artwork, product launches, and in cross-functional teams with other departments. I’d be lying if I said I was excited. I’m ECSTATIC!

I really can’t think of anything I’d rather be doing for the next 6 months… especially since they’re paying me… and I’LL BE LIVING IN LA. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t have unreal expectations or think Los Angeles is my favorite city in the world or anything, but I think it’ll be awesome to live there for 6 months as a newly-married couple. There’s plenty to do, and we’ll be there just long enough to get used to it and get tired of some things I’m sure.

ANYWHOOO… that’s where we’re going for now, and then probably grad school for Andre’ WHO KNOWS WHERE! So if you wanna see us anytime soon, get with us before we move OR come visit us in Cali while we’re someplace relatively cool : )
