everybody was kung fu fighting....

nobody@vox.com(donielle) — Thu, 05 Jun 2008 10:43:47 -0400

Now that boy works for dreamworks animation, we get to do all sorts of cool things. we've seen 2 private screenings (21, iron man) we've gone to the wrap party for kung fu panda, and the family screening a day later.

kungfu panda wrap party

now jon was able to get the book of artwork from kung fu panda signed by the artistic director and some of the artists. it's really cool.

I quite loved kung fu panda. it was one of the smartest movies to come out in a while. i think it's one of dreamworks' best movies yet. the art was fabulous, the story was good, and the jokes were funny. the movie was very consistent through out and enjoyable to watch, event twice with in 3 days.

i really see now how people get all caught up in movies, it is quite a seductive lifestyle. boy's job has free breakfast and lunch, including free icees!!! boy will have his name on screen in the next movie. i can't wait. i'm so proud of him for finding a job that he loves doing what he wants to do with computers and linux. he works in the rendering department, the works a queue of all of the scenes to be computer rendered to look pretty. in doing this he gets to see bits of the movie before it's out.

Why Did The Chicken Cross The Road ..

nobody@vox.com(donielle) — Mon, 02 Jun 2008 10:30:01 -0400

Why Did The Chicken Cross The Road ..

BARACK OBAMA:
The chicken crossed the road because it was time for a CHANGE! The chicken wanted CHANGE!

JOHN MC CAIN:
My friends, that chicken crossed the road because he recognized the need to engage in cooperation and dialogue with all the chickens on the other side of the road.

HILLARY CLINTON:
When I was First Lady, I personally helped that little chicken to cross the road. This experience makes me uniquely qualified to ensure -- right from Day One! -- that every chicken in this country gets the chance it deserves to cross the road. But then, this really isn't about me.......

DR. PHIL:

The problem we have here is that this chicken won't realize that he must first deal with the problem on 'THIS' side of the road before it goes after the problem on the 'OTHER SIDE' of the road. What we need to do is help him realize how stupid he's acting by not taking on his 'CURRENT' problems before adding 'NEW' problems.

OPRAH:
Well, I understand that the chicken is having problems, which is why he wants to cross this road so bad. So instead of having the chicken learn from his mistakes and take falls, which is a part of life, I'm going to give this chicken a car so that he can just drive across the road and not live his life like the rest of the chickens.

GEORGE W. BUSH:
We don't really care why the chicken crossed the road. We just want to know if the chicken is on our side of the road, or not. The chicken is either against us, or for us. There is no middle ground here.

COLIN POWELL:
Now to the left of the screen, you can clearly see the satellite image of the chicken crossing the road...

ANDERSON COOPER - CNN:
We have reason to believe there is a chicken, but we have not yet been allowed to have access to the other side of the road.

JOHN KERRY:
Although I voted to let the chicken cross the road, I am now against it! It was the wrong road to cross, and I was misled about the chicken's intentions. I am not for it now, and will remain against it.

NANCY GRACE:
That chicken crossed the road because he's GUILTY! You can see it in his eyes and the way he walks.

PAT BUCHANAN:
To steal the job of a decent, hardworking American.

MARTHA STEWART:
No one called me to warn me which way that chicken was going. I had a standing order at the Farmer's Market to sell my eggs when the price dropped to a certain level. No little bird gave me any insider information.

ERNEST HEMINGWAY:
To die in the rain. Alone.

JERRY FALWELL:
Because the chicken was gay! Can't you people see the plain truth?' That's why they call it the 'other side.' Yes, my friends, that chicken is gay. And if you eat that chicken, you will become gay too. I say we boycott all chickens until we sort out this abomination that the liberal media white washes with seemingly harmless phrases like 'the other side. That chicken should not be crossing the road. It's as plain and as simple as that.

GRANDPA:
In my day we didn't ask why the chicken crossed the road. Somebody told us the chicken crossed the road, and that was good enough.

BARBARA WALTERS:
Isn't that interesting? In a few moments, we will be listening to the chicken tell, for the first time, the heart warming story of how it experienced a serious case of molting, and went on to accomplish its life long dream of crossing the road.

JOHN LENNON:
Imagine all the chickens in the world crossing roads together, in peace.

BILL GATES:
I have just released e-Chicken2007< /B>(c), which will not only cross roads, but will lay eggs, file your important documents, and balance your check book. Internet Explorer is an integral part of the Chicken. This new platform is much more stable and will never cra...#@&&^(C% ...reboot.

ALBERT EINSTEIN:
Did the chicken really cross the road, or did the road move beneath the chicken?

BILL CLINTON:
I did not cross the road with THAT chicken. What is your definition of chicken?

AL GORE:
I invented the chicken!

COLONEL SANDERS:
Did I miss one?

AL SHARPTON:
Why are all the chickens white? We need some black chickens

BARACK OBAMA:
The chicken crossed the road because it was time for a CHANGE! The chicken wanted CHANGE!

JOHN MC CAIN:

run/walk for women

nobody@vox.com(donielle) — Sun, 11 May 2008 10:56:40 -0400

a couple of weeks ago i posted a blog about fundraising for a walk i was going to do. yesterday was the walk. Except for waking up at 6am, Jon and i had a great time. We met up with our team of my coworkers at the memorial coliseum and took some pictures

Then we walked over to the starting line to get ready to walk. we were just arouns the corner formthe start line. They let the runners get a 10 minute start before the walkers.

jon and doni

As we turned one of the corners we could see downtown

downtown

A small group of us got seperated from the team in the mass of people at the start and walked a little slower.

the ending line was pretty neat. we walked into the coliseum through the tunnelt he usc football team runs onto the field. we see the finish line. they were handing out roses to the Cancer survivors and medals to everyone.

I walked in memory of my Grandmother and my friend Carol. I made a tribute sign with these 2 pictures on it.

jill, Carol, and donielle

i'm going to this http://kings.nhl.com/team/app/?service=page&page=NHLPage&id=3076

Scheduled for Sunday, Feb. 24, 2008 at the famous Universal Studios Hollywood, all players, coaches, broadcasters and alumni - including Marty McSorley 700K and Marcel Dionne - will be on hand to receive a $1 “tip” for an autograph and/or a $2 “tip” for a photograph from their loyal fans. All proceeds benefit the Kings Care Foundation, the LA Kings award winning non-profit organization that provides educational and recreational opportunities for children throughout Greater Los Angeles.

The LA Kings "Ice Bike" will be up for auction at Tip A King 2008.

This is the single largest fundraiser for the Kings Care Foundation. Each year the entire Los Angeles Kings Hockey Club and its fans join together for this fun-filled celebration, which for over 16 years has raised more than $2 million for local children’s charities.

Apparently someone in the company couldn't use the tickets, so i'll be styling all VIP like. this free food, free amusment park, free alcohol LA life isn't too shabby.

nobody@vox.com(donielle) — Mon, 18 Feb 2008 14:09:51 -0500

My friend from high school came to visit and we've been going around doing some touristy thing.

first day we drove up pacific coast highway to santa monica beach

then we drove up malibu canyon road and it was breathtaking.

then we went to trader joe's to get some provisions and called it a day in watching movies and relaxing.

Day two we did a lot. We started out by driving by Youngwood court

LACMA was having a free weekend, so we went to the museum.

We also went to the tar pit museum

We walked about the grove for a bit.
