happy st. paddy's day!

wear green and pinch people who aren't.. especially if they're cute :P i heard a funny joke on kroq this morning. lisa may was announcing from advertisement for lowe's.. and this guy (maybe ralph) was like..

did you know lowe's is irish?
because they sell paddy-o furniture (patio).

hahahahah.

anyways... monday i went on a impromptu dinner date with benji. he was being all flashy about his entertainment book, so we chose a place out of there. i saw an ad for that paradise place where i always see their sign off the the freeway, but never knew quite what it was. it's a pan-asian place.. or at least it seems like it from the ad.. we didn't go there. there was also a steakhouse which sounded pretty good, but instead we went to this place called bruno's in gardena. (ghetto-dena). it was in the shadier part of town, but not the shadiest, so that's okay. it was very very empty though.. which should have been a red flag in itself. there was one other couple dining and a few people drinking beer at the bar (but i think that they were friends of the workers). i saw a sign that said the lions club met there.. so i guess it couldn't be all that bad. the food was mediocre, i think the best part was the salad and the bread. but it was all stuff i definitely could have made myself with no effort. afterwards we trotted up to ucla to get dessert.. (mmmm...diddy reese). spent a bundle on cookies and ice cream sandwiches and then went to go say hi to benji's new girlfriend. (what?! benji has a girlfriend? i know....) well not really new..but new to me. she was nice.. she kind of reminded me of shirin.. i don't quite know why. but anyways. i read the US magazine with meredith and ian on the cover... (quality reading) aww.. the bachelorette... yesterday i just did some downloading madness. i came home and plopped myself in front of the computer after work.. and didn't get up until dinner time like three hours later. haha.. oops. it's so addicting though! plus i was rippingcd's into my hard drive. and then i sort them all and transfer them to my ipod. hooray.

i watched average joe: adam returns.. i think it'll be pretty good. watching girls fight over this.. girls are drama dude. hahah. although it's not quite as endearing as watching the nerdy guys cry. he kicked of this one girl.. and she was bawling, and was so sad because she wanted to spend her life with him already. so sad. but kind of freaky. there's still another girl who is bordering on stalker too... we shall see. and his "perfect match" from computer compatibility test results got booted too... but she didn't have that great of a personality.. she doesn't mesh well with adam (who's last name is mesh.. hahah). but i do think he's still that average joe who wants the really hot chick (duh.. isn't that all guys) so i think maybe he'll pick heather in the end. that's my first week prediction. oh and they had jason come on in drag to "infiltrate" the girls to see if they were here for adam for the "right" reasons. please.. you could tell he wasn't really a girl.. he was probably making out with them all on the bus :P but oh my he is a cutie. that "i wanna be a weather man named jason storm" thing kind of ruins it a little. dude.. that would fan-fuckin-tastic if they brought melana back on to compete. i think he still wants her.

while watching tv, i also started to make my sister's birthday present. i think the first part turned out pretty well. yay! i hope it stays put... i got buy some more materials to finish it up.. and i'll post pictures (if you can even see them!!!) after i give it to her. her bday's not for another week and a half, but she's going to taiwan because better luck tomorrow is showing at a film festival there so we're gonna do an early celebration. but i was very proud of myself.. it's pretty cute so far. i'm so handy!
