Weekend ramblings…

This weekend was full of friends and cleaning.

Saturday Nicolle came over and we got started editing Rusty J’s next music video!!

( I can’t tell you anymore about that, I’ve been sworn to secrecy, shh this is between us 😉

Sunday after church, Riley (my roommate) and I deep cleaned our floors, the kitchen got the most TLC, it looks so nice now!

Saturday – Thai with Lindsey and Riley!
Since I am trying to track calories more lately, I decided to try their incredible Garlic Salmon with sautéed spinach, yum! Ooh but when you try this place you should try this… Ice cream surrounded by cake batter and coconut, then fried, it’s incredible! (I was good this weekend, Riley ate it)

Then I had the silly puppy that thinks my face should be her pillow….

Baking the Snickerdoodles posted yesterday!

Plus there’s always silly little chickens around

What did you do this weekend ? Was it nice and relaxing, or busy busy? I’d love to hear!

After almost a year I finally updated my “About” & “Film Making” pages! They may change (for the better hopefully) but this is a pretty good look into who I am and what I do.

I would love your thoughts and constructive criticism. What else would you like to see included? What isn’t clear?

Rusty J Music Video day 4!

Here’s to another awesome day!!
Life is good, God is great 🙂

So we started off slow this morning, relaxing at the house together. I made up some scrambled eggs & home fried potatoes.

We headed on a couple errands, went to Malaga Cove (great views), by the Redondo Beach pier again, then met up with Nicolle and Nick to shoot!

This is Rusty J and Tom talking in The Sunshine Kite Company on the Redondo pier. (Also check out the video)

Later everyone came with us to shoot some awesome secret music video stuff, I really wish I could share but I promised not to!

Then dinner! I was going to cook up some chicken but instead we headed to one of my favorite places in Old Town Torrance, La Capillia

Here’s all of us earlier today in Malaga cove!

Nicolle, Rusty J, Sierra, and I

Rusty J Music video day 3!

Day 3 shooting Rusty J’s new music video went great!

The day started off with a trip to Hollywood Presbyterian Church on Rodeo Drive. We went to the contemporary service which was great!

After we got back to the house I stayed home to download and organize some footage from the Go Pro cameras (and do some much needed laundry) while the guys when hiking! Rusty J and Riley hit the gorgeous bluffs overlooking the Pacific Ocean in Palos Verdes. It was a perfect California day for hiking.

(Rusty will post about this for you soon, Rustified.com)

——————————————-

Since I cannot share many photos from the actual shoot here is some of Sierra and I running a Go Pro on Rusty’s awesome steady cam rig!

(I have no idea why I making a weird face but there you go)

After some more shooting we went to this awesome Hootenanny at the Urban Homestead in Pasadena, CA.

Long story short an awesome friend of Rusty’s invited him and us and it was a blast! Amazing people, great energy, relaxing, & fun.

They had wonderful, organic, non GMO food with vegan/vegetarian options!

Rusty even got a chance to play a few of his incredible songs for us all! Everyone loved it!!

Please check out Urban Homestead and their porch farm stand in the city!

So Rusty J music video day 2!

We started our Saturday meeting good friends for coffee.

Then filmed some secret video goodies

Then we met back up with Rusty’s awesome cinematographer (& one of my best friends) Nicolle and shot some more incredible footage! Here’s a sneak peek (shhh don’t tell Rusty I showed you these!) 😉

After that we got a much needed chance to relax.

Later Rusty J and I made dinner and shot a new episode of Rusty J’s “Lets Cook Something Good” We made my “Tuesday night” Tacos and Spanish Rice!

We ended the night around the fire pit with incredible people. We had Rusty J , Nicolle, Sierra (pictured above), James, Riley, Hannah, Jimmy, Nick, Lindsey , and Heather.

I have a drawer full of old scripts that needed to be shredded (cannot throw these away) so we tossed them in the fire pit

See you tomorrow! Have a great Sunday!!

Rusty J Music video day 1!

Rusty J is here in LA! We are all so happy and today we are shooting his 5th Music Video. Here’s a quick look at today!!

(This is in Redondo Beach, ca)

UPDATE: Around Midnight we headed into the valley for a late night hike in Laurel Canyon. Rusty J knew of this awesome spot where you can see the entire valley so we hiked up, got scared by coyote noises, and had a blast.
