Noorooz, the Iranian name for New Year, was rolled out at 10:48:19 PM, Wednesday March 19, 2008. This also marks the first day of spring which also arrives the exact same time as Persian New Year. The timing is all based on the occurrence of the spring equinox. I spent the evening at my dad's house where my sister, her bf Ryan, Neil, Nicole (dad's gf) and I plus all 4 doggies brought in the new year with an array of persian food. Dishes include Rice, fish, Kookoosabzi, Khoreshteh Geimeh and Gormesabzi, all along with some salad shirazi and mastemoosir. wow, I'm getting hungry talking about it. The evening was a lot of fun and we also got to watch some basketball too. I spent today again with my family and it was really nice because the weather was perfect for the welcoming of spring. Spring fever is coming soon and I can't wait. I have a jam packed few days ahead of me with dinner at my uncle Arash's tomorrow night, Golf with Ryan and Neil on Saturday, a Sa...

There are some changes in the Laali-Parry wedding front that I should tell you all about. Casa Real and April 4, 2009 are no longer a match made in heaven. For a handful of reasons, I have decided to push the date out by a few months. Some of the reasons include: weather, an unexpected surprise and timing. Don't worry Neil and I are still in-love as ever but I feel that this decision is for the best. I am looking into a new venue and will hope to seal the deal in about a month or two. I will let everyone know the new date and time but for now, its all a secret because I want to be certain before I blab on blog. I'm actually pretty excited because while Casa Real was a beautiful venue, it lacked some of the attributes that I was looking for. I will have to remove my countdown for now but never fear, determination and will is here :) Ciao!

When I first saw this article I was a little shocked because I thought, HOW CAN A VIDEO MAKE YOU FEEL SICK... CLOSE TO A SEIZURE. Well, now I know because after watching it I do kinda feel nauseatic. That could be for other reasons but I'm going to leave it at that. Here's the article and also a link to the music video. Watch it at your own risk!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qXSPqG2UV6s New Gnarls Barkley video too crazy for MTV 03/05/2008 4:00 AM, Reuters Jonathan Cohen The video for Gnarls Barkley's new single, "Run," may feature a cameo from Justin Timberlake , but it's still not quite ready to air on MTV . That's because of its strobe effects, which caused the clip to fail the Harding Test -- guidelines established to prevent TV images from triggering epileptic seizures. However, the video is available on various online outlets, and Gnarls Barkley member Danger Mouse was hopeful the situation could be resolved shortly. "I don't know exa...

As I've said in my past few posts, my job has been fairly hectic lately and while the end of this crazy project we're working on with Verizon is almost over, the end seems so far away. I fell asleep at 8:30pm lastnight and when Neil apparently tried to talk to me he told me I was mumbling about phone numbers and other crazy work stuff. He wouldn't understand because half of the shit I said was in acronyms but he still thought it was hilarious. Yeah, its so funny that I work when I'm awake and sleeping. I didn't get to post anything about my weekend so here goes. Peezy's Checkup : I am proud to say that Peezy Parry finally has his cast off and is currently rehabing around the house. Woohoo!! His leg is very small since it was not used for 2 months but he's been on it since Friday and its getting to get back to its normal buff ass self. I swear I catch him smiling every now and then... I think he's thrilled that he's back to normal. Peezy and Rocco...
