This is what happens when you ONLY have the big hunker camera.



All your photos from events you want to remember but at which you don't want to lug it around end up documented by the blackberry camera. Can you sort of make out Koby Bryant in the first and maybe mine and Ross' faces in the second? What would you have seen if I had had my zoom lens you ask??

-a close up of Torrey Spelling who was way cuter in real-life than I ever thought she was on tv (but today I saw her on the cover of some magazine claiming she was 98 pounds... so I hate to support her eating-disorder by supporting the look it produces, but to her credit, she ate nachos like the whole time I watched her. And I watched her for a while...)

-Jack Nicholson with his glasses... looking just like he always does, court side.

- Lots of shots of the back of Zac Efron's head ,since he was directly in front of us (so there were like 9 or 10 rows between us but besides that, I could have reached out and touched him) which doesn't actually excite me like it would if I were 13, since I only know him from a silly summer show he did with Becky from "Full House" that we watched when we were that bored. But supposedly he's all the rage these days. I texted my 11-year old sitter (shhh she's almost 12) thinking she'd be excited and she said she'd be sure to tell her 9 year-old sister who would REALLY be excited. Phew. I knew SOMEone would think I was cool for seeing him.


- Chuck from Chuck. I don't know his real name but we actually watch the show... (it's not that good but it's in the DVR cycle and Ross just starts it when I'm on the computer and have no say). But since we do watch it pretty regularly... he was pretty fun for me to see. And he looked exactly the same. Like a cute/nerdy/almost BYU alum looking kid. I was excited about that one. I darted between him and Torrey for a while. I mean with my eyes, not my legs. THAT would have been embarrassing.

-Rick Fox, right after he smiled pretty sincerely at us (in response to Chad's wave). He's a handsome man isn't he?

- Our cute friends from Corona, Chad and Amber. Amber who looked far too cute to hang with me in skinny jeans and boots while I wore a staple t and flats. Oh when oh when did I lose the ability to dress up? Honestly, it's like I don't even own a pair of heels... and I'm almost certain I did once upon a time... Did I donate them all while I was pregnant and the thought of them made me angry??

- Oh and maybe a few pictures of those guys on the court. Let me rephrase, those ENORMOUS guys on the court. They were SO much bigger in real life than I imagined. I may have forgotten to watch the game until about the third quarter, but by then, the game was far more interesting than it was in the beginning... and I wish it would have lasted a bit longer.

-Maybe a picture of my devastation when we got back to our car and the battery was dead and we had to wait for AAA while our sitter waited 1 1/2 hours away expecting us exactly 1 1/2 from then. But it all worked out. They showed up in record time about 10 minutes later. Thanks for the late night Brit!

All in all. SOOO worth the drive, and feeling SOOO lucky to be friends with people who get killer free tickets to Lakers games. And we're more than willing to be any body's plus two next time they go. The end.

The new car had the dead battery? Better go after the dealer!

How cool! I would have been freakin' out if I saw Zach Effron. My 4 year old, Miya, loves High School Musical. It sounded like lots of fun!

Yeah- I think Irene and Kira would have tackled him (Zac Effron).. and they're in their mid-twenties.

Oh I love it, it's like you're having a total conversation with me. Or at least I like to think that you're only talking to ME. I can seriously HEAR your voice when I read your blog, I love it! I always get laughing so hard! And what are you talking about with your 'non sense of style'?!!! You're like the icon of hot mamas, even if it is in a t shirt and flats. And oh my goodness that picture of Sophia down below...priceless. You need to blow that one up and put it on the wall by your stairs. Wow. I want your camera skills so bad, I wish I could just pick apart your brain.
