Hello Sinister, I'm waking up to ME--in the subject line of sinister posts! Whoohoo! I've been called out of the woodwork again by Mr. BRIER RANDOM, Thanks for the shout-out! This post should prove to be A STAR-STUDDED AFFAIR since I haven't had the chance to name drop in so long! BEN APPS (BAPPS) was in *so much trouble* last night!!! We were listening to ANDREA KITTENMOUSE's B&S from A to Z (which was highly entertaining) and playing Scrabble with the cat, RHONDA, who is Kittenmouse's biggest fan. When suddenly, Ben's attention was diverted away from the game at hand and he was glued to the computer (like usual!) I was frustrated cos not only did I not have letters or space to spell out T-W-A-T or D-O-R-K, I couldn't find ANY words to make! Then the instant message chimes started sounding from the computer speakers! I angrily asked "Who are you talking to?!" and then he had to spill the BEANZ (Get it--Beanz! ha!) about the dedication. It was when I heard the dedication that I felt happy again! It was "There's Too Much Love"... awwww! I am a bad RACHEL. I haven't mailed our �VIVA RACHELS! mix tape to JUDGE KEN CHU yet. I have it in an envelope with a letter, I guess that's a start. I also have started copying tapes for the participants, but have yet to mail a single one out. I will make it a goal to complete the task by summer's end. Just a mere 8 or 9 months after the mixtape's completion! Speaking of Goals, my husBEN has a season ticket to see the L.A. GALAXY soccer team play at their new stadium in Carson, and his seat is right next to another Sinister fellow named ADRIAN RUDLOFF (Mr. GLURP). I went to the matches on the last 2 Saturdays with them, and it was really a lot of fun. After the first match, we went to Adrian's and had a sing-a-long with a few b&s songs being tried out. It wasn't half bad, either! I can't really beileve how quickly I've been converted to a football lover (though I can hardly call the sport that is played out here "football"; it still qualifies as "soccer" in my mind!) The most exciting thing is that we have tickets to see MANCHESTER UNITED play in L.A. next month!!! I hope I get to see my United boyfriend, OLE GUNNAR SOLSKJAER, in action. I also hope that little ANDREEA of Sinister chat fame will still be able to join us. Congratulations to Andreea for her graduation from college! Also Happy Birthday to her on Thursday! GUESS WHO'S COMING TO DINNER!!! Ben and I returned to the site of our wedding reception in Santa Barbara, and you will never believe who we met up with!!! MARK CASAROTTO and SARAH GARRETT SONNER (Ms.SGS!!!) Sarah was embarrassed when someone suggested she made a mess on the floor, but that can happen to any girl when presented with a barrel full of nuts. I, myself, had my own embarrassing moment that night with a yummy Santa Barbara Blonde (don't worry, Ben watched!) It was so much fun seeing Mark and Sarah again. If any of you have an opportunity to visit that town, you really should cos it's gorgeous. SGS and Mark would contest to that, I'm sure. As would the locals, Brier and PHIL (hi Phil!) A few days after that meeting, we found ourselves at a surprise birthday party for a friend (who is actually the boyfriend of Ben's boss.) It was at a restaurant in Hollywood called Falcon, which is a little TOO posh for "our kind". It was *so* nice, I didn't even have to work very hard to pry the money out of Ben's hands at the end of the evening! I think he was distracted by the fact that LUKE WILSON was in our dinner party! I said "hey guy, I like your nurses uniform" and he said "These are O.R. scrubs" and I said "O.R. they?" and Ben choked on his food. Not really. I said "Hi I'm Rachel" and Ben said "Hi, I'm Ben" and he shook our hands and said "Hi, I'm Luke". Turns out he is the boyfriend of a model that is a friend of Ben's boss. Who knew! I was almost as google-eyed as I was sitting across the table from SGS and Mark! *swoon* They're cute!!!! I know some of you must have been flipping through the pages of PEOPLE MAGAZINE last month, and you were captivated by a SEXY HAIR CONCEPTS ad for the Healthy Sexy Hair shampoo. You probably weren't sure what it was about the ad that you liked so much... was it the model's flawless complexion and hairdo? Was it the gorgeous foil milk box that the bottle of shampoo rests in? Maybe so. More than likely you were entranced by the ad because your SINI-SENSES were tingling and you knew that someone from this list must have designed the ad! Well, rest assured, you were right! It was my piece of design work I was most proud of until... KATRINA HOUSE mentioned that I worked with STUART MURDOCH on the new footie shirt design!!!! *chuffed* In closing, I'd like to say that sometime soon, Adrian would like to have a SINISTER GO-KART RACE!!!!! Anyone interested? Southern Californians stay tuned for more details as they develop(and feel free to make suggestions!) Shout-outs to STINE, GRAINNE, JIM PURPLE TROUSERS, BUS STOPPER SARA, JOSE, MICHAEL VANCE and ALL THE RACHELS! Until next time... love, Rachel fruitloop-Apps __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? SBC Yahoo!
