Life of Larisa or LOL

It really does pay to consistently and obsessively talk, write, Facebook , Yelp---about Starbucks. I'm just waiting for my Keanu prize to arrive now. I talk him up a lot too. The great thing (of many) about Facebook , is reconnecting with random, possibly long forgotten, childhood friends. It is definitely the case for me---I don't really know or hangout with over four hundred people. I do remember them though. There is a story that goes along with all of them (relatives excluded). The trip down memory lane via Facebook is always fun. You never know what to expect. In my case, it has been USPS delivered packages. The first was a package of good old Southern grits. Thanks to a post about, well, grits. I miss them. As if I were rubbing on a genie's lantern, magically a package of grits arrived in the mail for me and the boys to enjoy. Thanks Claire.

Hello Kitty merchandise, Twilight merchandise, and a t-shirt with Keanu Reeves. Wandering around aimlessly in Hot Topic pays off! The shirt is perfect for me, the bad photographer, as it is possibly the worst picture of Keanu in the world. But, love is forgiving...and blind. So, I'm happy.

I will be having my own birthday party in honor of my favorite actor/musician KEANU REEVES this coming Wednesday, September 2nd . I suggest you all do the same. There are a number of great movies that you can enjoy to mark the special occasion. I have listed a top five... 1. The Lake House 2. Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure 3. Street Kings 4. The Devil's Advocate 5. Point Break There are also two Cd's I can recommend from Keanu's band Dogstar: 1. Quatrro Formagii 2. Happy Ending For further Keanu worship, check out these websites: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dogstar http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000206/ http://keanuconnection.com/keanu/name/ Happy Keanuing!
