After watching apple made Coda, I agree with the movie's praise with the amazing performances and wonderful representation of the actors in the deaf community!

FULL on ENDORSEMENT!!!!

Jacob Moran sang an astounding rendition of Katy Perry's Rise in front of Katy, Lionel & Luke in the most recent episode of American Idol & received a standing ovation from Katy (as well as a golden ticket)...wow!

Update from watching Mar 22 episode of The Drew Barrymore Show, I learned that this movie is a great showcase to people in the deaf community! What a great collaboration.
One sidenote is that I hadn't realized the difference between watching the film with captions as opposed to seeing and hearing the sign interpretor's (coda's) on Drew's show is breathtaking!

Excellent way to start the weekend... :)

Sunday evening update:

Enjoyed a wonderful sushi buffet lunch with mom
while dad spent the day working on a work deployment

Also caught 'The Adam Project' starring such recognizable names (not going to lie, it's the names that caught my attention...) of Ryan Reynolds, Mark Ruffalo, Jennifer Garner and Zoe Saldana; as well as Walker Scobell and Catherine Keener.

An intruiging storyline following a pilot who's able to time travel (to more then one time frame) which happens to weirdly give him the ability to encounter his younger self and change the course of history in order to destroy the ability to time travel and set future 'right'.

Definitely worth watching on Netflix!

International Women’s Day

In addition for a bit of unexpected excitment today...
After being picked up from work, driving along the street heading towards other appointments a car honked a warning and made hand signals that apparently we had a flat tire.

Interesting considering no car light signal projected anything.

Ended up driving a bit more, stopping by a plaza & calling CAA.
We've since had an Asian (as luck would have it, lol!) handyman stop by, fill the tire and now we're on our way to dinner at the Monte Carlo hotel before heading home.

First time for everything, I suppose.

Delightful!

No idea what this drink is called,
but enjoyed a caffeinated drink
with a sugar bear!

Another guilty delight of
one of my FAVS
dim sum dessert!
