I feel like the moment I post this I will get a phone call offering me a job back in Michigan and I will have to change the title of this blog back to "Michegoss"...
That's silly really. It's 1030pm on a Wednesday. And I'm a PA. Jobs don't get offered to me. They get begged for. By me. And honestly I'm not going to turn down a job offer solely for causing me the hassle of changing the name of my blog. I just did it and it took all of 2 minutes. I could handle that again. I just couldn't handle the weather in Michigan. So, it's decided. I'm not going. Wait... it was a hypothetical option. Never mind.
Meanwhile, I am watching The People's Choice Awards and I gotta say this... Kristen Stewart is just plain awkward. Always.
Oh, and the whole point of this post... "Bloggywood" was the unanimous favourite and the blog shall therefore be called so henceforth.
Delightful.
Um... Queen Latifah, award show host fail.
Ok, that's it for now. I've lost my voice. That's actually a non sequitur but I do need some rest.

Please note that now the name has changed so has the URL - bloggywoodjess.blogspot.com

What's in a name...
It's been, like, 2 and a half months. I'm shit.
Honestly, it's mostly because I haven't been able to figure out a new name for the blog. Seeing as though I am no longer in Michigan, Michegoss doesn't really fit. And for the life of me I just can't seem to come up with a decent play on words involving my whereabouts and an apt term for writing about ones experiences. Just try combining "LA" and "shenanigans" and see if it takes you less than 2 months. Here are some of the least stupid ones I came up with (yes, LEAST)...
Chatterfornia
Los Adventureles
Me.S.A. (get it? Instead of "U"...? Urgh.)
Bloggywood
See? It's bloody hard. I am taking suggestions. Although, Bloggywood is kinda growing on me.
Anyway, there is a second reason that I haven't written for a while. I don't have much to say. Seriously. I moved from Michigan to California and that's about it. I have been having a lovely time reading, writing, taking long walks amongst the palm trees... not too shabby.
A little bit of excitement today, though. Due to a delightful stroke of "right place, right time" I am making the move from Orange County, where I have been living with my dear friend Lauren and her lovely husband Oren (yes, for those of you who don't know them, it rhymes), to Van Nuys. It's pronounced Van-eyes, if you were wondering. And seeing as though we are still on the topic of pronunciation, let's go back to Lauren and Oren... hehehe. Ok, 'nough of that. (sorry Tanzers, I love you)
Van Nuys is part of the San Fernando Valley... yes, "The Valley"... like, totally. I'll be there for a few months unless a job takes me out of town. But, for the moment, it's perfect. Very close (at least, as close as you can be in Los Angeles) to lots of things that make me go "oooooh"... Big studios, shiny people and that little old Hollywood sign.
It's a bittersweet move... in the short time I've been in Costa Mesa, I've made some wonderful memories. Holiday parades, family visits (other people's families, but still...), hot tubs, interviewing for a job at Starbucks (a real highlight), Christmas browsing (shopping is for employed people) and Wilson. I think I will miss him the most. (sorry Tanzers, I love you)
WILSON
Christmas was a mixed bag. White Christmas - awesome. Lung capacity at high altitude - rubbish. Presents - awesome. Sick as a dog Christmas Day - rubbish. Learning to snowboard followed by a one hour full body massage on birthday (thank you Tanzers, I love you) - awesome! Muscles after day of snowboarding and massage - rubbish.
I'm not really complaining, it was delightful. I will get around to posting some photos/video soon.
Right now, though... it's, like, time to head to The Valley.
I've missed you. Help me out with a new name. And HAPPY NEW YEAR... good 2011 to you all!
