Jauregui - An Architectural Inspiration

Jauregui - An Architectural Inspiration

One of my architectural inspiration websites is JaureguiArchitect.com (I actually found the link to their website when looking at Cantera Doors, a manufacturer of iron entry doors.) Pronounced "HOW-reg-ghee" they are a Texas design/build firm with locations in Austin, Houston, Dallas and San Antonio.

I love their "signature" of tiled groin vault ceilings and their use of Roman and eyebrow arches in both exterior and interior details. Take a peek at their portfolio by clicking on the pic above...it's definitely my version of eye candy! :)

Here are some fast facts about Brittany Murphy:

  • Born in Atlanta, Georgia (11/10/1977)
  • Died in Los Angeles, California (12/20/2009)
  • Actress, singer, voice artist
  • Started acting in Hollywood at age 14
  • Voice of Luanne on King of the Hill in 1997
  • Dated Ashton Kuchter in 2002
  • Spokesmodel for Jordache jeans in 2005
  • Voice of Gloria in Happy Feet in 2006
  • Married Simon Monjack in 2007
  • Set to appear in Sylvester Stallone's film The Expendables in 2010

I loved her character Luanne on King of the Hill...especially how she said, "Uncle Hank..." May she rest in peace.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

From Wikipedia:

Brittany Murphy (November 10, 1977 – December 20, 2009) was an American actress and singer. She starred in films such as Clueless, Girl, Interrupted, 8 Mile, Sin City and Riding in Cars with Boys, and performed vocals on a range of films and with dance musician Paul Oakenfold, together garnering a number one dance music hit in the United States in 2006.

At 8:00 a.m. (PST) on December 20, 2009, the Los Angeles Fire Department responded to "a medical request" at the Los Angeles home Murphy and Monjack shared. She apparently collapsed in a bathroom. Firefighters attempted to resuscitate Murphy on the scene, and she was subsequently transported to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, where she was pronounced dead on arrival at 10:04 a.m. after going into cardiac arrest. Cause of death is yet to be determined, but Assistant Chief Coroner Ed Winter told the Associated Press: "It appears to be natural." Full results will not be known until an autopsy is performed, and experts have looked into her medical records and toxicology reports.

Bijan Restaurant - Fremont, CA (Alameda County, California)

Bijan Restaurant - Fremont, CA (Alameda County, California)

Bijan Restaurant is located a couple miles west of I-680 on Mission Blvd. in Fremont. It's in the Lucky Shopping Center behind the ARCO gas station and you need to make a u-turn at the next light if you're coming from the 680 freeway. Bijan Restaurant has belly dancing on Friday nights and it's pretty cool when the belly dancer balances a sword on top of her head while she's dancing!

If you feel like eating Persian food in Fremont, I recommend going to Bijan Restaurant...they have good food, good service and a clean restaurant. They also have outdoor dining with a covered patio, which is a nice option.

The last time we ate at Bijan Restaurant, we shared a Hummus ($5.95) and it was a generous portion for two, which we both really enjoyed. I ordered their Koobideh Kabob ($10.95) with rice, a grilled tomato and veggies...mmm! My husband tried their Prawn Kabob ($16.95) with grilled onions and green bell peppers...it was also delicious!

Bijan Restaurant
39935 Mission Boulevard
Fremont, CA 94536
