Alan's Psychedelic Breakfast it is not
Hey Champaign. Why are you not filling the tables for Sunday brunch at Cafe Luna? You are missing one of the greatest meals ever in this town. Seriously. Don't make me have to tell you twice. Go. Now? Sure, the tapas are damn good. But the brunch people, the brunch. Oy Vey.
Good times.
Did you say we were heading out for some peat moss?
Get out, that is so rad
I love peat moss!
Who got Lost Last night?<-------me
SOOO I was supposed to go this Premiere of this Indie Film and walk the red carpet last night right? It Sounded really fun, and I invited my friend Steve to come with me. I printed out my directions from Mapquest, and usually mapquest doesn't steer me wrong, but last night, haha yeah it just wasn't happening.
We tried to get directions twice, drove around and around in Huntington beach,CA looking for this obscure street that would take us to the theater for the screening. After an hour and a half of driving in circles we gave up!I used to live in Sunset Beach my first two months in Cali, and the traffic on the 405 was crazy, so we made a decision! Where the screening was supposed to be was really close to where I used to live, so screening premier night became food and movie theater night!
We went to CPK (Califorina pizza kitchen) and got Pizza and Eggrolls, then we went to The Golden Spoon and got frozen yogurt, and proceeded to take our feast to see Drillbit Taylor at AMC!
Sometimes you get lost, but it's funny how things always seem to work out! :)
Here are some Pics:
Me with Steve's Jacket at CPK cause I forgot mine!

Have a Sundae filled Sunday,Brittani aka Rhonda Anthony Tanner aka B-RAT :)

Big ol’ can of worms
The other day I was driving past 2 fast food chains side by side. The drive thru lanes were so backed up, they were causing an insane traffic jam, so I had time to pay too much attention to the people in these dive thru lanes and think too much about their behavior. The overwhelming majority of the people in the dive thru’s were mothers, in mini vans with 2-3 kids in tow, and they were all very noticeably overweight. It just made me feel sad. I felt really sad for their kids, who maybe don’t want to be overweight and so unhealthy but don’t really have a choice over their bodies because they are too young to stand up for themselves. Yet this pattern is starting which will most likely dictate their food choices and lifestyle for the rest of their lives, and it is a pattern that will most likely lend itself to a life of obesity, inactivity and major health problems. A child’s behavior, eating habits are totally molded by their families behavior, so what do you do when a families eating habits are detrimental for the child. Clearly this is detrimental, right? How do you break the cycle, and try to give these kids a chance at being healthy and not being obese? Can these parents be held accountable for their actions, should they? I guess I see this as a form of child abuse, which may not be a popular view in our society, but I can’t help but think that there should be some form of intervention on behalf of their children. People who have no autonomy of their bodies should be allowed to have the person in control of those bodies make sound decisions on their behalf, and if they are incapable of doing so, then there should be some way to intervene. This has really been bothering me, in the same way it bothers me when I see someone smoking in a car with the windows rolled up and children in the back. Ugh, I am just so unsettled by the way these things make me feel.
I LOVE HAIRCUTS
<------This is me this morning, pre-haircut! And man did I need one, it has been almost 3 months!! HAHA whoopsie! (And yes, I know, I am wearing a different tank top in the picture than I am below, but I like to change a lot, don't ask me why cause I don't know)
It is amazing how the hairdresser can get your hair just right, and you feel beautiful! What isn't amazing, is that your nice blow dry is wasted on a perfectly good weekday where you end up doing laundry, getting groceries, and not sharing your beautiful hair goodness with the world! Haha but atleast my hair looks good!!
Oh well, I vow to have plans after my next haircut with friends so that they can coo and compliment me on my Hairdresser's mad styling skillz!Love you all,

Easter Goodness!
Hey Hey Hey!!! I had an amazing Easter! I am a little sunburnt on my shoulders, haha totally my fault, but it was otherwise a very full day!I have never been to the Hollywood Bowl! It is kind of a must to go at some point if you live in LA! My friend Tyler invited me to go to the Easter Service there, and let me just say it was beautiful!
Afterwards we all went to Brunch, that is after Tyler's mom did some amazing navigating to get us out of the Hollywood Bowl parking lot, let's just say it was illegal but worked! Here are some pictures from my adventures:

She’s Alive!
I am finally feeling totally better, just in time to pack up and head up north for Spring Break ’08, only there will be no kegs off of hotel balconies this year (not that there were last year either), no, not for the grown ups. It took me over a week to get over this flu/cold/SARS/ebola, which is just crazy for me. I am normally and get in and get out kind of sick girl, I have never been really sick with a fever, the whole nine yards, for much more than 24 hours before, but then again I haven’t really been around germs so much while also being so sleep deprived. I blame this bout on the germy little heathens at the library baby lap times. Oh those “innocent” little babies are secretly plotting, Children of the Corn style, to knock us off one flu at a time. The scenario plays out something like this: the box of toys busts out and the little boogers make a bee line for their weapon of choice, they drool, chew, and slobber all over the lot, pass them around ensuring maximum coverage of their death juice, and then oh so sweetly, oh so coy they make their move…little Taylor holds out her sweet little hand to give you the ball she has been sucking on for the past ten minutes, thrusts it in your face while cooing and smiling so big at you, you take it and say thank you, thank you for sharing sweet baby, and just like that the SARS bomb has been dropped on you. The library is their war zone and they will take you down with their brand of gorilla, biological warfare, and you won’t even know what happened. The babies are staging a coup, along with the grey hairs in my head, and it is not pretty. I am on to their game now, though I have no clue how to engage in a counter attack or even a defense plan, but I’ll come up with something. There is no way I can continue to let something that runs around like a drunken drooling monkey babbling in sweet incoherent gibberish take me down like a sumo wrestler again, oh no, I will be on my A game next time.
Spring Break! Let’s go Minnesota. You little public library heathens be warned, we will be back, and then its go time.

My awesome friend Steve aka Julio aka my Krispi Cream accomplice's mom was in town. They kindly took me to breakfast.I have sadly never before been to Mel's Diner, which is right off of Hollywood and Highland.
Let me just say, I had the most amazing Oatmeal, maybe it was just because I was hungry and it had a lot of honey and bananas in it, but it was freaking yummy!
