I had to say Happy Monday to everyone because Denise may read this post and I know how much she loves that expression. ;) I laughed so hard when I learned that there are people in her office who actually say "Happy Monday" to their co-workers, and the building where she works posts notices in the elevator that say HAPPY MONDAY! I am reminded of Office Space where that annoying woman says "Looks like someone has the case of the Mondays," and does a sad face. Later, the lead actor asks his neighbor if anyone says that at their construction site where he works, and he responds that no one does and if they did, they would probably get their ass beat. I think that says it all right there.
As I reported last week we went to see Avenue Q at the downtown Ahmanson Theatre on Saturday night. I must say it was extremely entertaining and well acted. The actors had puppets on their hands and many of them played several characters. Even though at first it was a bit distracting to have this person standing there with a puppet on their hand, eventually you stopped really watching the actors and focused on the puppets. They performed such classic tunes as, "It's OK to be gay," "Everyone is a little bit racist," and "The Internet is for Porn." Overall, I really enjoyed myself. There was of course the typical female wanting commitment and the man fearing commitment storyline which I always find a bit nauseating, but I will overlook that because of the overall hilariousness of the show. So, I guess I would say, GO SEE IT if you live in LA or somewhere on it's touring schedule.
Justin's comedy improve gathering on Sunday was a lot of fun. After their performance they had a raffle of random things to raise money for their group. One item was a very large magnetic cheeseburger. Knowing Denise's love of burgers, I knew that I must get her this magnet. However, about halfway through the raffle, a man's name was called who was pressured into taking the burger. Denise was so bummed, but I sat there secretly hoping my name would be called because I knew I could get that burger from him. Finally, close to the end, my name was called. I jumped up and instantly offered the burger man a trade of an item left in the give away box for the burger. He and his girlfriend/wife were so nice and just GAVE me the cheeseburger magnet! Can you believe they would part with such a prize?! I begged them to let me give them something, but they would not have it. In the end, I got my lady her cheeseburger magnet and all was right with the world

We are beginning the 5th season of the Sopranos already! I can't believe we are almost to the last season. I'm getting sad because I know due to watching the Sopranos montage on the Emmys that Adriana is going to be shot because she has been speaking with the Feds. In the episode we watched last night she is beginning to break down because of the pressure...I guess I should know by now that no one is really safe on the show and expect the unexpected.... it is great. :)
