Conspiracy Theories...People are Strange
I attended a party with some friends on Friday evening. Parking in downtown is fairly awful when there is an event. A lot that is normally $7 goes for $20 just because of a Lakers game or other event. A little further and a spot can be found for $5. A little walking never hurt anyone. Once there, I found myself involved in a conversation about conspiracy theories--most of which was me listening and getting more stories. Some if it was rather tasteless musing about Disney being in the Il... Read Full Story
Back from the 80s, into the "Noughties"
Welcome back big hair, frilly clothes, cowl necks, big socks, rolling up sleeves, shoulder pads, baggy pants, and Depeche Mode! Being a girl who can't get rid of her curls, it's a relief.The 80s are everywhere, in true second hand fashion. 18 years olds wearing 2-tone ska inspired black and white check or mohawks with spikes hanging out in a group together made me wonder if it was 1985. High school students wear T-shirts for bands that my brother introduced me to: U2, Metallica, AC/DC, Le... Read Full Story
Nobody to Love
"Do you need anybody? I just need someone to love." the Beatles, All You Need is LoveI went to a friends Halloween Party. He is a wonderful guy. He's very sensitive, artsy and creative. He's also very social and has many friends. I was shocked when after a few drinks and jello shots that his tongue was loosened to express disappointment over his single status.Savvy: Woo hoo! Dressed like a pimp so you can show off your abs, hey?Darren: That's right, rock solid.Savvy: Yes, me too...un... Read Full Story
Sex Degrees of Separation
I've been saying this for years. And now there is an article saying that people should be aware that when they sleep with someone, they are in effect, sleeping with everyone that person has slept with. I first heard this concept at, of all places, my church youth group. The best prevention is abstinence or severely limiting the number of sexual partners one has. In other words, God's design of sexual intimacy being enjoyed in marriage and for procreation is still the best design. Solvin... Read Full Story
Cowboy UP!!
Sometimes even what seems like the tallest tale is true. I went country line dancing for fun on Saturday and dragged my friend Nikki with me for the meetup group. In case you haven't been in awhile, it's changed a bit over time. There are line dances for Men In Black and some rap group teaches line dances with their songs--71 North Boyz. Around midnight it's cowboys and girls dancing ghetto freestyle. I go for the lessons, a little exercise and to hang out with meetup people. And yes, I... Read Full Story
Another Night of Insanity
I am convinced that out of all the screenwriters out there who say they are working on a screenplay that 75% of them are insane. And don't get too mad at me because I haven't had a date in a few months and would never do this again.Screen: I just left my job to work on screenwriting full time.Savvy: Have you ever worked on a screenplay before?Screen: No, this is my first one.Savvy: Really? That is so coooool.A year ago after 2 glasses of wine, a glass of champagne and just having barely... Read Full Story
Happy Feet
One of the key problems with high heels is that they put so much pressure on the forefoot. Some high end designers understand how to balance the shoe so it has height and supports the natural arch. However, many attractive shoes very quickly become too uncomfortable to wear. When I was dancing alot, the standard was 2-3 inch heels. Even though mine were only 2.25 inches, I still had foot pain. My forefoot pain dramatically and noticeably diminished when I placed Insolia inserts in my sho... Read Full Story
Wired on Vacation
A vacation used to mean getting away from it all. But somehow, it really isn't anymore. We bring our wires with us whereever we go so that we are never truly where we are. After all, I'm writing this to you from Palm Springs on my netbook.We all used to get so angry with our uncle who had to be conscious of where the payphone was because he had to make a phone call for a business deal. Now there are cell phones for that. And we have to bring cell phone chargers. We all have to step away... Read Full Story
So Long, Seattle...
A new rom com, Love Actually is set in Seattle. I went to B&N and picked up a book called Table Manners thinking it would be about that. It turned out to be a novel set in Seattle. I got another nice email from Seattle, but it was missing a key element... Hi Savvy,Glad to hear you're recovering ok from your near-accident. I've had more than a few close calls in LA and even a few since I moved up here. Sounds like you're being patient and open to God's lead on your next career move. ... Read Full Story
