so.. this post is late.. sorry dude!! but

happy birthday benji!!(yesterday)

his birthday was 9/11.. and i didn't get a chance to post or hang out with him. :( sorry.. i suck. but you know.. he never reads this anyways.. so it's not like it quite matters. hahha. i'll just have to take him out later.. and i got him a present.. that's what really matters to anyone right? jk.

hmm.. well .. what have i been up to? not really sure.. a lot of this, a lot of that.. randomness here and there. this week was work and hanging out with friendies, my sister and more work. friday night i went up to LA and did some work for my sister, except i am dumb, and did it wrong, so really i accomplished nothing. which sucks a whole lot of ass. i have to finish a video by saturday, but i am working two days, and softball game tomorrow, so that leaves wednesday and friday.... ack. we'll see what i can come up with. it's gotta be good though. fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck. i got to eat this really good chinese chicken salad at this place near my sister's - california chicken cafe. i've been craving it everytime i've gone there but haven't gotten to eat it. i was quite happy on friday :) afterwards i went back to her house for a bit and watched some tivo - the complex:malibu. that show is pretty interesting... or maybe i'm just too easily amused.

saturday - worked @ the gap. good times as always. we have this new promo tool, it's these "how do you wear it" bands that come in like 6 different colors that we can pick to wear. of course, my greedy ass picked to wear all of them .. but yay rainbow! it's just funny, because it seems like a knock off on the whole "livestrong" bands. freaking EVERYWHERE. in fact, if i wanted to be "cool" i could sport the yellow one and pretend to jump on the bandwagon as well, but that would be even lamer than jumping on the bandwagon itself. but i do like my rainbow bands. except they make my wrist super sweaty :P

after worked i hauled ass over to chino hills. whoo hoo... i was glad my car made it. and the drive to chino hills wasn't too bad.. so i was grateful for that. it was carlene's birthday celebration!! those kids are so freaking skillful. first they re-did their floors - pulled out their carpet alllll by themselves and put in wood floors. .. and then they decorated their house (it was just like a restaurant! haha. and made it into a supercool birthday party scene. i want to rent their house and hire them to have my birthday party there. haha. they decorated the backyard all pretty, had yummy food that they made themselves (and some they ordered from daphne's) and were the best hosts ever. haha. they even provided some real entertainment national geographic style. in the middle of the celebration we heard a noise and saw two possums on the wall, but then one possum fell off (i think the other one pushed it), but then was trapped in their backyard. apparently possums are nasty and they like to attack, so we all went inside to continue the fun. there was the hookah, old school nintendo, poker and lots and lots more eating. joe provided the poker entertainment :) and the girls beat out all the boys. niiice. thanks for the good time concepcions!! i ended up spending the night to catch a few z's before driving back to lovely torrance, but ended up playing super mario with nicole until like 6am or so. yikes.... actually i played until like 6:30ish after nicole went to bed. i so wanted to rescue the princess... but i didn't :( i managed to get the 100+ lives in level 3, so i played for quite awhile, and then left the machine on (on pause) for nicole to pick up where i left off. i passed the seemingly impossible level 8-3 for her, so she's gotta do the castle. hahah. god speed nicole!

today i drove back this morning, which wasn't too bad, but i felt pretty crappy, either from eating too much, or being bloated, or too little sleep (or all three) - but i managed to make it to softball practice. we practiced for 3 hours, and most of the team showed up.. wow. it seems like it'll be fun. except i got sunburnt today :( i'm a little red, i hope it'll brown and not crisp :P

okay.. i should get some dubbing done. my mom is watching deuce bigalow on tv and really enjoying it. haha.. too hilarious.

oh.. and happy birthday carlene!! :)

i got the right date today... she is the big ol 23. she has mad skillz in web design, home decorating and general kick ass-ness. happy birthday old fart! :)
