so its my friends birthday so she invites us to play some laser tag. I was delayed due to an accident on the freeway, but i made it in time to get one game in then after the games, we head to her house to celebrate.

I mozy around meet some of her co-workers and of course her long time friends and I end up speaking with a gal about the strange type of foods we've eaten in our lives (just visit japan once, and you get to experience a lot of strange food). This very tall, older gentleman joins in our conversation as we spoke about raw squid liver and im thinking to myself "why does this kind sound a LOT like Ben Dixon from Macross"

It was Richard Epcar (Ben Dixon, Lunk from Robotech).

It gets better. As Im setting up the tables to accommodate the food, I look up to see this man enter the kitchen, and Im like "why does this guy look familiar." My attention is distracted for a bit, and when I hear him speak, it starts to FREAKING bug me.

It was Marc Handler.

I was dumbfounded. Haha, and I didn't even say anything because by the time i realized it was him, he had left the party.

Dangit.

IM
A
Dunce.

That's it, my upcoming vacation in Hawaii will be to get my brain in order. All this cold weather we've been having in Los Angeles has been affecting my memory and judgement.

*Puts a dunce hat on Arus' head*

I'll be needing that cap for the next 2 weeks. I'll let it melt in the hot hawaii sun.

Poor Arus... voicestruck dumb on the cusp of a great party.

The irony of it all.

Some pics (shh!!) ^_~

WOW!! What a deal! You met them both and didn't even know it??? SWEEEEET!! I would love to have been there, Arus! That's so cool!!

Looks like a lot of fun!

I do believe it's the smog that affects people's thinking in California. I mean how do explain the actions of Winona Ryder, Paris Hilton, and Britney Spears? Something is definitely in the California air! (Just kidding! )

I
CAN
NEVER
WIN!

Omg, went on vacation back to Hawaii and to attend our annual anime convention. catch an early flight out of LA, so of course im hella hungry. walk into the mcdonalds after going through security (had a TSA agent step on my freaking foot, since you now have to remove your shoes). Phasing out on the menu, I stand behind a guy, who had an UNCANNY familiar voice.

I
SO
totally
can
never
win.


Yup it was Marc AGAIN!!!


And to make it even MORE interesting.

HE
Catches
the
same
plane
as
me
to
Hawaii.


Someone, please give me a dunce hat, and a toy gun that pops out a big DUNCE Flag when you pull the trigger.

*hands Arus the requested items* Oh, you'll need this too dearie. *hands a Homer Simpson "D'Oh" sound maker*

Wow, the luck of it all.

AGH! Im just going to have to have my friend just freaking introduce me when she has the chance to. He's probably going to be like 'you look awfully familiar'.


I think i'll need a bigger hammer K2

Wouldn't it be funny if it's a sign that you two will be working on a future project together?

haha I can only dream, Mark. ^_~
