i really am too tired to blog, but i feel like i should do it now, rather than put it off and do a marathon post to be haranged about... on top of my unfunny, vulgar, alcoholic, mean-drunkeness tendencies everyone already says i have. what do they know?

well i can't believe christmas and the weekend are over already. it almost feels like it's time to go back to normal life, but then i feel like i didn't to much anyways.. like there is no hoopla to begin with, so what do i go back to? anyways... friday i got off my temp job early (yay my boss!) and rested at home, ran errands and then went to do a night shift at the gap. got off a little early from that and stopped by benji's surprise housewarming party to drop off his gift, and then off to pick up beth and sakura for the concepcion after christmas extravanganza. we entered the house to find a large group and a band rockin out in the living room, so after staring back at the people giving us funny looks like we snuck into some private concert, so went around back to find a very "happy" nicole :) we ate lots of good food, drank a bit, chit chatted, and i am the speed toe champion - the BEST new game :) i beat out all the boys that were "with the band" the girls stayed behind, played tetris, watched dane cook, sex in the city and slept. i got to sleep on the wonder that is nicole's bed (are you listening boys?). the next morning we drove back home (after freaking beth made me turn around to get her beloved pillow) and i came home, ate lunch and went back to bed. only to awake to sakura calling me telling me she's going to be at my house in 45 minutes for jill's birthday party. ate dinner and got ready and off we go. (eat, drink, sleep, eat, sleep, eat... recognize a pattern?)

we went to the standard, a very swanky and expensive hotel with a roof-top bar. apparently it's the hotel where the sex in the city girls stay when they frequent los angeles. it was a $20 cover, followed by $90 on drinks, ice cream and american spirits + tip (not all for me), and fun card games and snacks in the room. the highlights of the rooftop bar was, of course, the ambiance and location, the pool, the waterbed domes, the lounge areas, the fun dancing guy who got me, jill and sakura to dance in order to ask us "who our gay friend was" (jimmy.. haha), and the company (aww...). the rooms itself were pretty cool, i'd say the "porn shower" was the best though. it was like most hotel rooms, except the wall between the shower and the rest of the room was made of glass. sexy. that must be quite a show. at least the curtain wasn't see through so people could at least pee in private. here are some pictures i stole... :) they're really cool though.

sakura drove me, sukhyung and jimmy home (thanks sakura!) so i could get back to work at the gap. good times. at least it wasn't at 6am today. watched tv tonight... do you know i had a dream the other day about using the tivo my sister promised me? the sole purpose of that dream was to relish in how great it was to have and use tivo. my mother thinks i'm crazy.
