Struggles by Jones

I do not run. I do not jog. I occasionally sprint on the treadmill due to intimidation by the Orange Theory instructor, but my sausage links do not scurry for a significant amount of time. Sunday, I ran a 5k. I literally felt like P. Diddy, episode one, when he trained for the New York…

2017- Year of the Gig

My New Year’s revelations appeared long before Mariah Carey decided to lip sync in Times Square on 12/31. It happened during the heat of the December, resulting in a nasty holiday hangover. Not because of all the pinot noir I was guzzling at the dinner table Nov-Dec, but because of the energy I was exerting…

Snaps For Sonoma

“How old are you turning this year? 32?” I nearly passed out. No, this was not a joke. Sweet mother of pearl. Get the dermatologist on speed dial and call me an UBER to Bedford Dr. I considered throwing myself onto Wilshire, but realized I would miss out on the numerous birthday activities I had…

Downtown.

There was a time when I despised DTLA. As in, I refused to go unless food or tickets were involved. I was invited to visit the Broad on Saturday morning. While we were sans rezzies, I had zero concerns, since we were going to be proactive, and wake up before all of Los Angeles to be the…

OLD A-F

In a setting that looked like the aftermath of a 21-year-old birthday party, I sat on the floor with my six friends scrolling through photos of the night before, while simultaneously picking at the birthday cake that remained untouched until the morning. Champagne was much more appealing than Celebration Cake at 8pm. “What should my caption…
