why does cams have a yelp page? and do all high schools have one?

anyway, it's nice to hear these things from ppl cause i really liked/miss cams sometimes. NOT the work, but the community and relationships built there.

it's funny because i know i will forever keep in touch with my cams people, but sc? yea, not so much.

So I am seeing Regina Spektor FOR FREE (perks from the boy's job!) next week. Pretty excited. I am really loving this song right now (and her album for that matter).




Probably also seeing the Gossip cause Hugh has tix to that too. WOOP. Does anyone else feel old at concerts now?

Ahem, so Obama won a nobel peace prize, yet we are still in TWO wars and Guantanamo is still not closed...

The committee said he won for efforts to boost diplomacy and co-operation.

umm... okay. BUT he hasnt done anything! this snl skit is PERFECT for describing how i feel about obama so far. it was last weeks episode and found it accurate to describe my "stfu" attitude towards republican/right wingers against him and a call to action for those on the left to support him so things can actually get done.





He said he did not feel he deserved to be in the company of some of the "transformative figures" who had previously received the award

I agree, homie. I agree. At least you don't deserve it yet? (im still hopeful that change will come, damn you move on campaign!) but damn even Bill Clinton went to N. Korea and got the journalist out!

rude awakening

my sleep pattern is so thrown off right now. last night choco was barking up a storm at around 3am. I got home from the gym at 11pm talked to the boy till 11:30 took a shower and was so ready to KO by 12:30am. But I didn't fall asleep till about 1am, got woken up at 3:00am multiple times, and finally knocked out at around 4am.

Well this morning my rude ass neighbor and his loud self woke me up before 9am. I don't know how it is possible that my mom who went in to work an hour earlier didn't wake me up at all living in the same house but my horrible neighbor did. Constant battle. (his new stint: installing security cameras, bleh).

After about 20 minutes I dozed off again BUT then the house phone kept ringing. If it's Monday before 10am I DO NOT PICK UP. EFF THAT. it's usually all telemarketers or something. But this time it was actually our good neighbors/tenants. So apparently they were stopped by the cops and because they are undocumented they do not have their license. The cop made them bring someone with a valid license to get the car. Well they really had no one else except my mom but because she wasn't home it was up to me. Fortunately I finally have my license! I didn't realize how important this shizz could be. Anyway the cop drove over to my house with the keys, oh but made the guy walk to my house! i mean he was going the same way... and they usually offer a ride over to the car. whatever i didn't feel like being in the back of a police car again. so i walked it over a few blocks to where the car was and drove it back.

now i have a huge headache and can't go to sleep. i guess ill just watch youtube.

i love me some lady gaga and her SNL performance was pretty amazing! that thing hits her head at 1:07 HAHAHA


vacationing for 1 more week!

So I basically have a week left where I can relax and do nothing on the internetz! Im excited and nervous all at the same time. But also realizing that maybe I'll have less time to peruse my usual blogs and hit up the youtube.

It's been hard to just read the la/ny times like when I was in school. I just feel like lately there's been a lot of bad. But I need to pick up this habit again in order to stay informed.

These are some of my favorite blogs/blogs im addicted to:

dlisted.com
datinginkorea.tumblr.com
slashfood.com
thegrandnarrative.wordpress.com

yea, I need a life. im also gonna miss chilling with my dog everyday:




hyper active puppy!

p.s. My glasses broke (again) so that's getting in the way of my gym-ing :/ Must fix today!

my current guilty pleasure:

So I went to Europe and missed out (more like chose to SKIP OUT) on all the DJ/Techno/Tektonic movement and instead picked up a KPOP obsession.

I recently commented to my future co-worker/Hugh's friend that all I've been bumping in my car was K-pop. Her response was "we'll take my car!" haha. She asked me if it was all techno and shizz? And I was like "NO!" and showed her some BigBang.

So on to my current jam:

lately everything has been pretty calm. after so many months of freaking out! now i have to enjoy the next 2 weeks of relaxation. (and some major gym time!)

i feel like my mood is GREATLY affected by the weather. since it's now mild and slightly on the colder side, what Hugh calls "sweater weather," my mood is really pleasant. im waking up earlier and (trying) to sleep earlier.

yesterday hugh and i went to a taping of the Jay Leno show & afterwords decided that we needed more laughs and saw "Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs" in 3D at the grove. OMG! soooo good. I LOVED IT! it was really cute!

i hope this good mood continues because I haven't been so happy since i've been back home. minus the big ol mosquito bites on my leg that i got from mayra's wedding :|

oh yea, the wedding was good! we stayed at a real nice/cheap hotel. ive paid so much more for crappier. but the reception was outside near a lake w/ a swing! and a big tree that was lit up it was really pretty but IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE AKA IN THE MIDDLE OF the FIELDS. i really do not envy people living in small towns in the butt crack of california. eek!

is it wrong to feel WRONG about all these damn weddings lately?


so hugh and i are making the trip out to fresno for my friend's wedding on the 26th. our anniversary is on the 25th.... i dunno how were supposed to fit the two. it's not like we can club or have a nice dinner in the CV! or i just wouldnt want to.


another friend just got married too. i couldnt make it out to the actual wedding which was in hollister but i did make it to the bachelorette party. it was a total success! and no male nudity! i had so much fun and it was a total girls night out. then i thought to myself, why would anyone give this up so soon???


so both these friends are people i met at work. both of them live in small towns, im just wondering if there's a correlation or something because a wedding is NOT anywhere near my plans this soon. and the thing is both are extremely intelligent mujeres... i dunno i guess im being judgmental.

but if you truly believe youre going to be together ~*FOREVER*~ why cant you wait till you can actually afford the wedding?? im just saying, it's hella expensive!

omo! people are so annoying with the kanye talk.

how sad that more people are worked up over kanye than over joe wilson yelling at the PRESIDENT. and that there are threats to boycott kanye but joe wilson has been receiving tons of money from supporters.

:/

honestly, i think people need to jump off the kanye wagon and stop it with the mob lynching. yes, he was rude. but i think ppl are blowing this outta the water! back off! he didnt say anything wrong in my opinion. im not even a big kanye fan, but this has gotten ridiculous!

A new report from the AFL-CIO shows some stunning statistics about young workers.

* More than one in three young workers say they are currently living at home with their parents.
* 31 percent of young workers reports being uninsured, up from 24 percent without health insurance coverage 10 years ago.
* One-third of young workers cannot pay the bills and seven in 10 do not have enough saved to cover two months of living expenses.

And perhaps the most telling finding:

When asked who is most responsible for the country's economic woes, close to 60 percent of young workers place the blame on Wall Street and banks or corporate CEOs.
