Do You Believe In Magic In a Young Girl's Heart?

The ingredients to an awesome Saturday night consist of the following:
1. Great company;
2. Great food;
3. A little magic; and
4. A spoonful of sugar.

I had a great time last night hanging out with some awesome peeps. These awesome peeps and I went out for some chow at Fogo De Chao, a very delicious Brazilian restaurant. The food was great. Myle getting her chow on, Fogo de Chao, that is. =p
And of course dinner is always better with great conversation and lots of laughter.

Next we met up with some more awesome peeps at The Magic Castle. Oh Man, the magicians there are so talented. They can read your mind, they can make things move without touching them, they can make things appear and disappear. My thoughts in one word: WOW!!!

And to top off the night we went back to Myle's place to have some be-lated birthday cake for our dear friend, Siannah. Happy Birthday, Si!
Thanks everyone for an awesome Saturday night! =)

No More E.L.A.


I am no longer working at the East Los Angeles Court. My 90-day-rotation ended on September 5, 2008. I learned a lot in E.L.A., and I met some great people. I miss E.L.A. already.
Here are some memorable E.L.A. moments:
1. Sharing an office with Melissa. ("Hey Melissa, what plan are we on today?")
2. So many 1538 Motions in Dept. 2
3. The judge granted anoher 991?
4. Lunch under the Coffee Bean Umbrellas
5. Tuna at Quiznos and carne asada tacos
6. Defendant throwing a chair at the judge
7. The earthquake
8. My first prelims
9. "Oh, so now you found Jesus so you want to tell the truth?"
10. Edgar saying, "I want her to be my baby's mama."
11. "Sir, are you pleading no guilty or no contest freely and voluntarily?"
12. Don't forget to ask for a stipulation
13. She is crushing my spirit
14. Mr. Hollywood's glasses
15. Cynthia's ELA jury duty

This is a lot of "inside" stuff. Sorry to those who don't understand. It's an E.L.A. thing. =p
