I’m a jackass
Posted by Aryiel on Oct 25, 2008 in Embarrassing
Just….take the journey with me, if you will.
So, of course, i work at this antiques store on Saturdays. pay is great and i usually don’t do anything. So today we had one couple come in with their dog (annoying) and that was it….until 1:30. A lovely British man strolled in and began talking with me about the furniture….i was trying to be polite and leave him to his business because you can’t usually do the annoying salesgirl routine in an antique store where everythin g is $3,000 and above. So I offer to show him the second showroom, where all our goodies are hidden. We’re walking and talking about, you know, furniture, and as I’m walking back into the store I introduce myself to him with “Hi, I’m Aryiel. I’m the new Saturday girl.” He says hi and shakes my hand and I say,”What’s your name?” And he replies back “Scott? Ridley Scott?”
Yeeeeeeup.
Then after that, not only do I fumble on the computer, but I end up not finding the info he needed. He said it was no problem and he would just have his secretary call on Monday but…..really. I’m on the computer printing out information and all the other nonsense, when two guys come into the store as well.
As I’m comforting myself, telling my brain that just because i didn’t know what Ridley Scott looked like, it’s really no big deal and i’m sure that happens a lot….I overhear one of the guys say to him “I just want to say you’ve made a lot of incredible movies…..”
Well shit.

For me, this is love…
My favorite movie on the subject of matters of the heart. If you have not seen “Before Sunrise” I highly suggest it. It’s by far my favorite love story. It’s not epic, or overpowering, or unreal, or far-fetched. It’s simple and it’s beautiful.
For me, this right here is love:
….and this…..
…….this too…..
…basically anything Julie Delpy says in either movie (Before Sunrise or Before Sunset–heartaching) is spot on what I feel like. It’s a beautiful, smart, lovely account of the beautiful somethings that can be shared between two people.

Obama…you had me at “I may be too awesome”
Posted by Aryiel on Oct 18, 2008 in Political, Video Clips
I love this man. I really do. I was a big hillary supporter but obama really has grown on me. And forserious, we just need a democrat in the office, and we were blessed with having a poised, talented, wise person as the democratic candidate.
This video is fabulous. I also posted the mccain speech because…..meh. Does anyone else think mccain looks like a giant baby? I’m not trying to be mean or insulting, I think he genuinely looks like a toddler. Both in diapers. Awww.
OBAMA!!!!
“i hear from the Waldorf-astoria, you can see the Russian Tea Room.” Priceless.
McCain….bah. Toward the end he actually gives obama some great praise. Worth watching for the sight of mccain being humble.
Part two.
All in all, I’m very pleased that these two men were able to come together, especially after three ever-heated debates, and laugh together and even compliment each other. It really makes me proud of this nation, for the first time in…oh, eight years…..to actually be a part of this country where two great men are fighting to lead. We have been given the choice between two such worthy candidates, instead of the usual “lesser of two evils”.
Speaking of which, does anyone else wish Sarah Palin would get eaten by penguins?

Oh so much goodness….

“Place your hands above the handles. They’re magnetized.”
“And if you’re hands were metal, that would mean something.”
This is my childhood. Which explains a lot, doesn’t it?
“You know, if they make love in english pound notes, their sex is 50 % better.”
This is one of my favs. “I didn’t mean to turn you on.”
Other good ones to look out for are the special German edition of Hamlet.
“Hey hamlet? Why don’t you cramlet?
“Yeah, whatever ClaudiASS!!!”

Last night, I drank absinthe in a cemetary…
Posted by Aryiel on Oct 18, 2008 in Performance, Real Life Stories
While that title probably perked up your ears and got you thinking “holy shit, is this some crazy, bohemian chick who wanders around in cemetaries drunk, thinking that the alcohol sharpens her oh-so-keen senses so she can contact the dearly departed?” the answer is….no. No that is not it at all. But thanks for giving me so much credit. :)
Last night I went to go see two of my friends perform (the same who I was just performing in New York with). All I was told is that they were performing at the Hollywood Forever Cemetary and that there was a full absinthe tasting bar. I really did not need to hear anymore. Would you?
We drove up into the cemetary and they allowed us to drive all the way up beside the strange lake that is so serene and beautiful during the day; but at night with everyone dressed in black 20s formal wear, with the moon large and almost full behind the mausoleum, everyone and everything that reflected on the lake became instantaneously haunting and gorgeous.
Walking inside felt like a dream. Tombs all aound us, I wafted in in my brand new red, polka-dotted black dress I manifested yesterday (I’m not kidding!! :) HIPPY-DIPPY SECRET TIME!!! I was just telling my friend Sarah yesterday how I wanted a new dress, a halter dress, with a banded waist, …..and polka-dotted would be awesome too, since I love them. And yesterday I just happened to pull into a random store after I got off set, and as I was looking at bras….there it was. Just lying out of place with the bras. I grabbed it and looked at the tag. “Awww, this isn’t my size” I thought. It’s a 6 and I’m normally a 7. But I figured what’s the harm in trying? Honestly? It fit absolutely perfectly. It looks like it was tailor-made just for me. And hey, awesome news I can fit into a 6 now. :) But I digress……) …..where was I? Oh yes, after thinking about how awesome my dress was :) I decided I need a glass of the beautiful glowing absinthe and a cigarette…naturally. We walked through the halls, down the long tomb-encapsulated corridor to the bar where they had light pillars with hors de oeuvres on top of them. “Thank God!” I said “I always say that food is better when lit from below” (By the by, that’s just another example of my oh-so-charming sarcastic wit. I actually have no preference as to how my food is lit, unless it’s lit on fire, and then (unless it’s creme brulee) I do have a slight problem….Stay tuned for the next installment on my thoughts about food lighting).
Now I had called my friend at the last minute to see if he wanted to go with me to this lovely event. He was on the 405 and just hopped right on over because let’s face it, if you’re on the 405 and someone says you have an hour to get somewhere, you’ll barely make it there. Lesson: 405 = death. Anyways, he wasn’t so dressed up. Just jeans and a shirt (and a jean jacket which I made fun of him mercilessly for. Sidenote: Guys? Xnay on any and all forms of jean jackets. Honestly. It’s not 1992 anymore. Girls? it’s still sortof ok for you to wear them still, but I mean…..come on). So we met up with my friends performing, Tara and Mitchell, outside as we were walking in and Tara and I started talking burlesque (as we always do since she was in the Velvet Hammer troupe. Jealous) and I told her I was making my solo debut the 24 of November and so was my guy friend who was with me. Right after that, she looked him up and down and said “Oh……comedy?” Not meaning to come off like it did, but it did, he laughed and made fun of the fact that it was a hilarious notion that he might be doing burlesque (he’s actually an accomplished magician and will be doing such on said night….not stripping……at least Idon’t think so……). As we walked away from the absinthe bar we were standing around looking at the tombs after being rejected by the bartender (only cash accepted? Where’s the blasted ATM in this cemetary?!) and this girl came up to the bar, looked him up and down, and said “So…how’d you get passed the semi-formal dress code?” (which I had no idea about, mind you. Otherwise I would have told him. Come on, I’m not a completely heartless bitch). Again, she didn’t mean it the way it sounds but we laughed again (I think he was laughing to stop from crying) and to help heal the wound she offered to buy us a round of absinthe (I drank both. What? He doesn’t drink. I was just trying to be economical. Jesus. Soon you’ll all be calling me a lush too. (I love that I’m having a comversation with myself right now)). We walked around, swing danced to the lovely 20’s singer that we had seen previously at the Cecada Club downtown (if you guys have not been there, GO! It’s completely like stepping into another world. It’s all very 20’s but 30’s and 40’s are usually there too. Full bar, absinthe is a big hit, lots of dancing….it’s gorgeous. And no cover charge! Just valet your car and hop in!! :) ) then we saw my friends perform. It was a mime satirization (which is actually SO MUCH cooler than it sounds, I swear!!) of the Nosferatu movie. Tara was the victim-turned-vampire, and Mitchell was Dracula (duh).
They were fabulous, the venue was fabulous, the food was fabulous, the absinthe was fabulous, the night was fabulous.
And Scott Thompson from Kids in the Hall was there. Awesome? Answer: yes.
Oh, and I would just like to say thank you to the amazing woman, Lisa, I met outside while filling ourselves with a lil bit o cancer: You dropped into my life at the perfect time and said some incredible things that I truly needed to hear right now about…well…..yeah. For that, thank you. And, as she said, “Thank you absinthe”.
And for you three I was there with, all I have to say is…
normal viewwwww, Normal Vieewwwww, NORMAL VIEEEEEEEEWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!
For those of you who get that, thank you and I love and cherish you. For those of you that don’t, fuck off and die.
Have a great day! :)

Oh my, I’m at home, working naturally, and I’m watching “I Love the 80s 3-D” and saw this and couldn’t help but post this. For those of you seeing this via the archives or are an early viewer of this blog – well I figure I don’t need to post too much considering that at the time of this writing, I’m still using standard blog format and have told rarely anyone about this site. But, for those of you who are seeing my new layout – how awesome is it? Do tell. Maybe somehow send this into the past so that way I can not have a brain block about the new layout. :-P

Aryiel Hartman, soon-to-be-famous actress, and Tiffany Rose Roberts, soon-to-be-famous photographer.
Hello, welcome to the T & A Show, the absolute best place to be if you are the type of person who constantly presses “F5″ to refresh and see something else to distract you from work. This blog features the photos, writings, musings, interests, what-have-you of Aryiel Hartman and Tiffany Rose Roberts.
So here’s what you need to know about us: We are >>deep breath<< liberal, groovy, artistic, strong willed, tryin’ to “make it big,” very silly, ridiculous, inside jokes-makin’, tangent talkin’, peace-lovin’, classy, freedom fighters. Aryiel is an actress full time with a big ol heart (Awwww), and Tiffany is photographer who dreams of being a celebrity portrait artist.
Currently, Tiffany lives in Orange County (Costa Mesa) and Aryiel lives in Los Feliz (Los Angeles.) Tiffany will be your guide to Orange County, whether it’s hip places and things to see you’d never think of, or just enjoying her bar snapshots (maybe you found this blog through that very method!) and Aryiel will be your L.A. storyteller.
This blog is the pre-cursor to our podcast, The T&A Show (properly named after us) that should be coming out within the month, but as that will be a monthly show (or bi-weekly), this will keep people who like our snarky rants, raves, and writings fulfilled. Keep hitting “F5″ and you’ll be perfectly satisfied and never at a lack for funny clips and interesting reads.
