How Common Is Your Last Name?

I know my name "Jennifer Yee" is somewhat common, because I've met at least 2 already.

But how common is your last name, compared to the rest of the folks in the USA?

My future last name will be even MORE common. Is that good or bad? I guess it could be good... (More obscure? Easier to remember? Already mistaken for it anyway?)

TOPZ RULES! How They Became My Heroes...




I must give HUGE Props to TOPZ in Burbank
(Riverside Drive - (818) 766-9066)

Not only do these guys have Great Burgers & cool fixins for your food and drinks - BUT THEY RESCUED my PURSE, when i ditzily left it hanging from my chair.

I had returned with my coworkers back to the office... and realized i was missing it...

Meanwhile, a second group of coworkers who also ate there for lunch, was still there and heading back to their car... and because they remembered that these folks talked with our group, chased after them and asked if they could return my purse back to me.

A very horrible and scary ordeal was averted because of the honest folks at Topz... I owe them many more lunches for their awesome good deed! :)

Treadmill view of Beyonce in Person...

So, I trudge to work a little early this morning to get a quick morning workout...

I'm blasting my Muvo Music and suddenly see some camera guys walking past the window wall facing the back alley. Then i realize they're all pointing their lens at BEYONCE herself!



I think i let out a loud "WOW" but the only other person in the gym had her earplugs in and probably didn't hear me.

Beyonce looked great! There are some celebs that look a little less than perfect in real life... (like shania twain or charisma carpenter) but Beyonce looked Fabulous! And all smiles. :)

WRONG on so many levels...


Louie is a male Boston terrier/French bulldog mix who was recently adopted from Boston Buddies, Inc., Southern California Boston Terrier Rescue. Louie had been left at the gate of the Baldwin Park shelter like a piece of garbage. Boston Buddies bailed Louie out of the shelter and immediately took him to the vet where he was found to be infested with ticks and extremely underweight. Louie also had battle wounds on his neck from a previous dog fight. Louie was nursed back to health by his foster mom who found him to be especially nice with other dogs and a true lap dog who just wants to be with his people.

Louie was adopted by Paul, a nice man who already had Ellie, a beautiful female Boston terrier who was looking for a new friend. Ellie is the apple of her dad’s eye in her pink jeweled collar and she even has her own custom embroidered overstuffed doggie chair to lounge on. Ellie and Louie became the best of friends and were doted on by their new dad.

They were all on their way to Palm Springs last Friday, August 4, 2006, when Paul stopped at the AM/PM Mini Market at the Baldwin exit off the I-10 freeway to get Ellie and Louie some water – he left Ellie and Louie in the car with the doors locked but the windows cracked a few inches for air. While Paul was in the store someone reached into the window, unlocked the car, grabbed the dogs and took off in another car. In the 20 seconds that Paul heard the car alarm and ran outside the dogs were already gone. Witnesses got a partial license plate for the getaway car, but so far no real police work has been done on the case. Paul waited for three hours at the scene until a police officer appeared to take his report. The detective assigned to the case has left town on vacation and no progress is being made.

This is a terrible crime and the fate of these dogs is unknown. We need the media’s help to publicize the fact that this type of activity is occurring in our neighborhoods. We need to expose the scum who think it is their right to take the beloved pets of others for who knows what kind of horrendous activity, secure in the knowledge that the crime will receive no real attention from the authorities.

Paul has offered a large cash reward for the safe return of Ellie and Louie – no questions asked. He can be contacted at 310-498-4257. Or you can contact Boston Buddies, Inc. at 310-364-4543 or contactus@bostonbuddies.org.

Please help – Louie and Ellie’s lives are at risk!!!!!!!!!!!!

Creepy Cinespia?


So I watched a movie on Saturday night in Hollywood.

Not so unusual huh?

Well, what if i said the movie was Pee Wee's Big Adventure?

How odd, that's an old movie, You say.

Well what if I said I sat in line for an hour to get in to watch it?

Why would THAT happen for THAT movie, You say.


Well, what if i told you it was projected on a wall in the middle of the Hollywood Cemetary and thousands of people were camped out on the lawn with food and drinks and pillows and blankets, and we were surrounded by the dearly departed??

Bizarre?

Well that's only the half of it! We soon found out that Paul Reuben and the majority of the cast of Big Adventure came too, and talked to the crowd just before the movie aired. Only in L.A.!

This Cemetary Screening phenomenon has been going on for Five Years now! I guess it only happens during the summer and you can catch everything from the scary to quirky...

It was fun to watch and neat to hang out in the open to watch a movie... but we had to really squish up close to everyone because it was so full, and there were definitely some 'odd' folks there. And leaving the cemetary afterwards was like a scene from those zombie movies. We got a parking spot inside the cemetary, but to get out, we had to drive among the mob of pedestrians holding their lawn chairs and coolers and blankets. It was very very very bizarre.

Extra Mugu

Rick sent over his pics and he captured a great group shot from our June Point Mugu weekend...

Even Barklee is smiling! :)

Can't believe we've already hit August. There's still bad news trickling in and so it just keeps adding to the thought that the year of 2006 is just not a good one at all. But i'll keep the smile pasted on... keep the mind focused on the positive... and hope everyone else can make it through too.

I guess as you get older, life gets a little easier in some respects and a LOT harder in others. I know i'm being totally obscure, but that's all I can say for now.

Things to look forward to... the year 2007, good news about all the bad news that could become good news, my wedding (yeah!), nice vacation somewhere new.

Be safe. Live healthy. Shop at (insert advertising grocery chain here.)
