• Aaron and I went to Balboa Island just so we could be near the ocean for a little while. Needed a little beach therapy. Unfortunately the beach stunk like garbage so we cut our trip short. As we drove home through Newport Beach, I had the a feeling that my brother was nearby. I started looking at all the restaurants and bars that we drove by for him to be on the patio, but I didn’t see him. Then two blocks later I saw his car parked on the sidewalk.Turns out he had just moved to that Newport Beach neighborhood, and I had no idea until I mentioned this to my dad.



• Went to a Dodger game on Star Wars night with CoCo (my amazing neighbor) and Oliver (one of my longest and bestest frinds). Ollie and I went on a hunt for snacks and beer together, and as we were leaving our section and entered the throng of people in the hallway, I had a feeling that Oliver was going to run into someone he knew right then and there. But… it didn’t happen. So we got our pretzels, hotdogs and beer unimpeded. And I didn’t make mention of it, because who cares about things that didn’t happen, right?

  Then the second time we went to get MORE beer, we stepped into the hallway and right then and there Oliver ran into someone he knew.

  Also, on a side note, I was really disappointed by the lack of Star Wars on Star Wars night. So I just started substituting “Star Wars” instead of “Dodgers” any chance I got. “Here we go STAR WARS, here we go!”

• A couple days ago I came into ownership of a really cool houseplant. I won’t tell you how I came into ownership as it involves a little b&e, but I’d rather call it “adopting” than “stealing,” Aaaaaanyway. The problem is, I have no idea what this tree is!I wanted to know what I was getting myself into and how I could properly care for it, because it’s SUPER cool! But Googling things like “Dr Seuss tree” or “squiggly tree” brought me no good results. I thought about Twittering it, or blogging it, but I don’t have enough followers to hope for positive results.
  On a slightly related note, I’ve been getting really into interior design mode lately. Been adding more and more interior design blogs to my Google Reader. And the night before I had found a new design blog called The Brick House to add to my design blogs. And the next morning the first post I see from that blog is this: Question. And the question just happened to be about identifying that exact kind of tree!

  It’s a Dracaena Marginata. And I love when this kind of shit happens.
