Cereal is yummy.

Did you guys know I have my own webcast series on PNN? It's called cereals, because it's a serial of stories.

This is so cute!

Go here if you are in the mod for a fun and cute news story.

I am a Geek.

Over night, Mohinder Suresh has become my favorite Heroes character. Literally, overnight. He was in my dream last night (just wondering around, occasionally saying something or otherwise making his presence known, like most people who show up in my dreams) and now he is my favorite character. Yes, I like him even more than Milo Ventimiglia's Peter Petrelli (gasp).

But really, it's no wonder I like him. He's an uber-smart professor. He's one of the good guys. He's tall and lean. I think he might wear glasses sometimes (though I am not too sure). And the kicker:

He speaks with a British accent.

Like, duh. Of course I like this guy.

I am also kind of wondering if he is going to turn out to be a hero himself. His power, I think is his blood. All us Heroes geeks know that it is an antidote to a virus that is infecting some heroes. His sister was a hero, and being a hero is a genetic condition, so it is possible.

Did I just geek out too much? Well, get ready for more.

I love how all the heroes on Heroes have very different powers, and I have been thinking about what my hero power would be for a few weeks now. I have come up with this one, silly ability that I have.

I can detect British men. Seriously, if there is one within a hundred foot radius of me, I know about it even before they open their mouths. Usually, it's all about the hair, the clothes, even the way they hold themselves, but sometimes I can't even really pin point what it is. I just know.

How can I use this power to help save the world? Ummmm, maybe the demon will turn out to be British, and all we will know is that he is British and where he will be within a 100 foot radius). Then I will be able to find him and thers can take it from there.

Right?

Confession: I Yachtied.

Gulp. I hate to admit it. But yes, people. I went to the Yacht Club this weekend.


For those of you who think that sounds ok and kind of posh, rewind. Think again. It is hugely ironic that this place is called the Yacht Club. It's the diviest of all dives I have ever seen, and a guaranteed Rancho Reunion. Not always people you want to see either. Thankfully, we only ran into one that night, and he was fine.


But I really wanted to see my friend Catherine and her sister/my friend Laura while she was in town. This is how the evening began:


Jaime drives home from work @winery rediculously tired but determined not to punk out on her friends. Watches Bend it Like Beckham for a little while on TV before changing for the night out. At one point she takes off the jeans she put on to put pajamas back on, but forces herself back into going out clothes.


Arrives at Catherine's house and has three glasses of wine. Three. Puts on Catherine's perfume before she goes out and Catherine keeps telling her how good she smells all night.


We go out. I down a Malibu and Coke right off the bat.

We take a few fun pictures.












I decide I need a shot to loosen up a little more. Kiersten buys me a vodka one.

Suddenly, it's a good idea to document how stupid I feel (and how much fun I am having) by taking a picture of myself in the wierd bathroom.





And another.





Gina buys another round, and I am unaware of the fact that I am getting another shot until no one knows who it's for and I realize it's probably mine.



We dance. I video it, but it's way too dark to see.

I take this photo though:





We're in the mirror.

I remember Catherine quoting Knocked Up "Now that's how you get pink eye" while two people bumped and grinded really stupidly, and stupidly close to us.

I am pleased to announce, that no matter how drunk I got all night, I realized how dumb everyone there was. And how unnatractive most were. Badly dressed. Not us of course, we all looked cute and fabulous.

Someone wanted Taco Bell, someone told someone to stop trying to talk like they were sober, and I giggled a lot.

And earlier in the night, Cath and I talked about how dorky we were in Junior High, how awkward we felt and how goody-goody we were in High School, and how awesome, cute, and confident we are now.

This is us:



I can't wait to spend more time with this girl. : )

Jaime needs a ride home. She sends Ashley a drunken facebook message, then goes to bed.

She has to go get her car the next morning (thanks roomie!) and ends up missing the craft fair in Golden Gate Park that she wanted to go to because she's running behind all day.

Damn Yachtie.

I'm a little sorry I did this

I thought this would be fun.

Where has Jaime been?

Sorry I've been scribbles MIA lately. This is what I have been up to:

1. Went salsa dancing with Neil and some other salsa pals at Seven on Thursday night, but first we stopped by the awesome restraunt Neil works at: Sizzling Tandoor.

2. Interviewed some way cool people at work. Yes, I have an awesome new job now; I create webcasts at PNN.com. Check out my personal page, and my webcast series Cereals.

3. Saw A Flea in Her Ear at SSU. Cool play.

4. Went to Beringers and Castello Di Amorosa in Napa. Sheila works at Beringers, so it was fun to see her. It is a very pretty winery too. Very different from my winery, but pretty nonetheless. And Castello was quite cool. I love castles. All the good pics for Castello are on Marissa's camera and she is asleep right now, so this will have to do until tomorrow.

5. Made dinner for all of my local family members. 8 is a lot of people.

6. Went shopping and bought fruit loops, bananas, rice cakes, cute clothes, a Rilo Kiley cd, and In'n'Out. Not all at the same place.

7. So yeah, I really did all the stuff I listed above (plus work) since I blogged last. But what have I really been doing?

Watching Heroes.

I freakin love this show. I finished the DVDs for season 1, and am now catching up on season 2 episodes online. By next Monday, I will be up-to-date in Heroes land.

I am kind of glad that I am done with Season One, as much as I enjoyed it. I was in Safeway with Marissa and I turned around to say something to her, but she wasn't there and I thought she pulled a Hiro and bent the space time continuim. Thank God I don't own a watch that I can name myself after.

And Peter Pertrelli is hot. Suresh takes a solid second.

100 means diamonds

Yay! 100 blog views as of right now. Thanks for the love guys. : )

I know it's not an anniversary, but the gift for a 100th anniversary is a diamond. I prefer pink diamonds, so that is what I am giving y'all.

Here you go:






Enjoy, my luvlies.

I love harvest.

Harvest has never been more fun than it is this year! Tours at work are fun, I am watching the winemaking process occur right under my nose, the weather is changing, the vines are changing color... I am not even sad to see that almost all the grapes have been picked off the vine, like I thought I would be.



Then, on Sunday, Marissa, mom, and Marissa's mom and I went to the Sonoma County Harvest Fair. It was my first time visiting this fair, and I adored it. We tasted yummy wine from lots of Sonoma wine vendors, ate pasta king pesto for lunch (mmm, garlic), and Marissa and I even managed to find some cute German interns to talk to (mmm, eurpoean boys. my fave). The wine industry is crawling with foriegn interns right now. It's a great opportunity to learn more about wine! I hope American wine students do it too.

We also saw giant pumpkins, all in line to win the prize for biggest pumpkins.





There were lots of different types of apples too.






And here is mini-mom, hitching a ride around the fair in my wine glass.



Still left to go for harvest celebrations? The pumpkin patch! I think I'll go this weekend. I want to enter the PNN Online Pumpkin Carving Contest.

yay.

PS. My mom is so much fun.

What are you doing on December 17th?

Random Awesomeness

Went to the beach and took this cool photo.

I am thinking about putting lavendar peek-a-boos in my hair. All those in favor say aye.

Also, I returned a DVD to the video store ON TIME today! No late fees for me! Yippee!

Disc 2 of Heros was checked out. Someone is one disc ahead of me. This could create trouble if this person doesn't return DVDs on time (like the usual me.).

Off to watch How I Met Your Mother (and you should too)...
