Thursday, October 21, 2004

i am in a particularly good mood today.. because it's "friday" :) i took tomorrow off because i'm headed to san diego tomorrow.. thus.. no more work! yahoo!! i am a teeny bit bummed though because there's a free pair of lakers' pre-season tickets (vs. the clippers) up for grabs, but i can't go since i'll be in sandy eggo. oh well.. some other time eh? but i am going to do my play tonight and benji, beth, keri and jerod are coming tonight.. so yay for that!! it's a good day.

i am a little bummed that it's not raining. what? am i crazy? no.. i am not. i don't totally despise the rain like people would think LA people do. and i'm not one of those people who get all crazy and can't drive in the rain.. (shut up and keep your stupid "asian driver" jokes to yourself :P) i think because it doesn't rain a whole lot i like when it rains.. but not the light rain that's on again off again, because that's just annoying and makes everything smell. tiny sprinkling is okay because it's like it doesn't even really matter. but i like really hard rain.. i think it's kind of fun :) especially if i'm inside.. but it's kind of fun to be walking through it too. plus.. it's a free car wash! i wear my bright yellow rubber rain jacket that i've had since middle school.. which is awesome.. although everyone stares at me like i'm a freak. plus.. i just bought a new umbrella yesterday too! (which is the real reason i'm hoping it rains..) i didn't really "need" it.. it had long stopped raining by then, and in fact i had an umbrella in my purse when i bought this one.. but it was so cute. haha.. i went to 3rd street again with my sissy-poo to return more stuff (credit card induced buyers remorse) and although the umbrella was a tad pricey.. i wanted it.. badly. so i figured i had returned enough stuff to justify buying this umbrella. i just can't lose it.. (like i lose every other nice accessory i buy :P)


how hott is this?


i think it's AWESOME. they also have it in black with silver writing, but i opted for silver because it's less like every umbrella out there, and has pink. now if they had black with pink writing.. that'd be perfection.

tomorrow i'm also going to get my hair cut in san diego. it's one of those student hair cutting things, but for paul mitchell. and by someone i know.. so they can't really fuggitup. plus there's teachers around and all. i had a good experience with my last "hair modeling" gig.. so i'm a little excited. i'm a little scared because i want to try for the hair cut like norelle's on america's next top model. not quite sure if i can pull it off. but i guess the experts tomorrow will let me know. cross your fingers.. i'm also a little scared because chopping off a few inches of hair is always daunting. i curled my hair today.. one last time for old times sake. :P

san diego will be exciting. i'm going for the film festival, but i am looking forward to carne asada fries, going out on saturday night (probably PB), my hair cut, and i think i want to take a trip to fashion valley. :) i lurve san diego.. i'm just bummed i have to come back sunday for work at 5am. BOO. hopefully with a cute hair style, and a belly full of el cotixan's in tow it won't be so bad. but i will be sleepless, that's for sure. probably just drive back at 2 or 3 and go straight to work. blah. plus my sister will be leaving for hawaii. lucky duck.. i wanna go. blah blah blah.. 29 minutes to go!! oh my.. only 10 days til halloween! what are you going to be?

my.. this guy at work is wearing a shirt that is awfully lime green.

i hate when i take lunch "early"... because then i have so much more work afterwards to sit through. and i say early.. as in normal. i'm so used to taking my lunch at like 1:30 or 2, so that when i come back it's 2:30 or 3:00 or so, and i only have 2ish hours of work left. i took my lunch early today to have lunch with my family before they went to the airport to send off my aunt.. but now it's only 3 o'clock and i feel like it's been FOREVER. blah.

anyways.. this weekend i'm going to the SAN DIEGO ASIAN FILM FESTIVAL! yay. some of the cherry sky shorts are in it. yay! and after looking through the program i found out one of my friends from high school have a film in it to. that's neat. if you're in or around san diego (LA is "around") you should check it out. it'll be way fun.. plus san diego is awesome. we'll go eat carne asada fries. yum. oh yea.. if you look on the festival page .. there are some 30 second shorts to promote the festival. the one with the yellow caution sign (cherry sky films) is one that i helped on!! go watch it!! the girl in it used to model for gap kids.. hehe.. nice huh? :P it's a play off the whole "pedestrian crossing" sign from the freeway near the border check for illegal immegrants running across the freeway. i know everyone in san diego and their mother has played off that sign, but whatever. it's really well shot though. so.... check it out :)

i did some googling, just because i was curious... and i found this:

torrance youth council history

look.. it's my name! it's my name! ... just among a billion of peoples..but still. hahah.. it makes me feel somewhat special.

i'm such a dork.
Show me that smile again
Don’t waste another minute on your cryin’
We're nowhere near the end
The best is ready to begin

As long as we got each other
We got the world spinnin right in our hands
Baby you and me, we gotta be
The luckiest dreamers who never quit dreamin’

As long as we keep on givin’
we can take anything that comes our way
Baby, rain or shine, all the time
We got each other
Sharin’ the laughter and love


so i'm pretty geeky. i watched "growing pains: return of the seavers" on saturday night .. just for old times sake. i knew it was going to be cheesy and all, but i found it searching through my tivo listings and wanted to record it anyways. it was cheesy, but good... because i'm easily amused and will enjoy almost anything. but i do love that cheese. at the end they had this girl band (i think is the ashley johnson "chrissy" and her real life sister singing.. but i'm not sure) singing the theme song and it was so cute and i got all nostalgic and warm and fuzzy. i think i've watched the end like 5 times now. har har har. hey.. i'm not the only one who loves it :P see i'm not crazy. it was really good... i wish i knew how to tape thing off my tv so i could make an mp3 of the song or something. help.. anyone? :)

my weekend was pretty uneventful. chilling at home, fighting with my mom, cleaning some, sleeping some and work a little. i've had a few weeks off at the gap and i think now they're expecting me to come back.. umm.. but i kind of want to, but i kind of don't. i dunno. it's just a bad time right now still.. once softball ends and once the play ends it'll be a little better... although i dunno if we're going to play again next season, but the play will be done and i can have thursday nights back :) not that i don't enjoy it... i just wish i could sit around and do absolutely nothing for like a month. that would be nice.

my aunt is in town before she goes off to taiwan. my mom likes to take her out to a bunch of places, so we've been going out to eat a lot. sunday was china buffet.. yes again. blech :P the only good thing about going to china buffet so many times is that you know exactly what to eat and what to stay away from. my favorites are the bean noodles and my own yummy dessert of donuts and ice cream. it's really good.. i can't explain it. haha it's just like on apprentice! last night they went to el torasco, but i couldn't go cuz of the game. well i guess i could have caught up with them because the other team forfeited because they didn't have enough players & enough girls... but we ended up playing anyways. we were worried about not beating them, because we won against them last time, but we had 3 sub-players because one girl broke her nose and her and her husband left for the hospital. we played them.. and they really were not that great.. so i guess that's good :) yay for us, we're not in complete last place :P we can move up in the rankings, we just have to win all the rest of our games. haahah. just like beth says, "every sports movie ever made says we can make a come back and win" that's for sure.

after the game last night i drove by the torrance inline hockey rink and just sat and watched for a bit. i watched the scorekeeper and the clock and the referees and a little bit of the game. i only saw the 3rd period, but they don't have stop time or maybe their goal deficit number is different. also i think they keep track of goal attempts or something. i'm not sure. i wanted to ask the scorekeeper, but i didn't want to be more geeky than i already was. i also saw some of the skate park, for the first time. it was dark and it was closed, so i just looked from beyond the gate.. but it was kind of a good feeling that i had helped build it and contribute to it's creation. i mean.. not physically put it together.. but i remember when we were planning in torrance youth council to get it done, get funding and all that other stuff. how we thought that it'd never happen, but some of the council members supported us, and now there is a teen center, there's a skate park and a whole bunch of stuff @ wilson park now. it's pretty nifty... it makes me feel like i had actually "made" a difference. although you would never be able to tell.. but i know :P when my sister was in youth council and gary was in charge, he used to always have holiday parties at his house and have old and new tyc people all get together. i always thought that would be fun to go to, but he stopped having them and then stopped being the youth council liason. i wonder what happened to all the people .. it would be fun to see them. more so my first year than my second... but it was good times. until that last year.. when i got robbed.. but oh well. hahah. bigger and better things huh? but i do wish i could have ridden on that rose float. :P robbed i tell you.. robbed. i still have my cool ass torrance youth council jacket. hah. i *heart* torrance.

happy birthday angeleeeeeeeeeeeeee!!


*these pictures are uber old.. but they'll have to do for now.

happy birthday to you.
i can show you the world
shining, shimmering, splendid
tell me princess now when did
you last let your heart decide

i can open your eyes
take you wonder by wonder
over, sideways and under
on a magic carpet ride

a whole new world
a new fantastic point of view
no one to tell us no
or where to go
or say we're only dreaming

aww.. yup.. last night i finally watched my aladdin dvd. which is actually a big accomplishment, because i have so many dvd's and cd's that i buy that i haven't watched or listened to yet, but i just had to have them :P i will slowly get around to all of them, but i just had the urge to watch aladdin last night. maybe it was the trip to disneyland last weekend. it was funny because i went and bought it on tuesday, and there were so many people buying the movie, and not the families or moms.. but lots of guys too, along with their free abu plush (anyone want mine?) i was surprised at how many people just love this movie.. haha, but i guess i shouldn't be.

i watched it.. and it was great.. and afterwards i watched the special part with nick and jessica singing the duet. they are too cute... sakura was totally wrong when she heard they were getting a divorce. and when i was watching the behind the scenes for the song and jessica was talking, she sounded pretty intelligent, like she really knew what she was talking about. :) i watched the original peabo bryson/regina belle music video.. oh cheesy 80's. hahah - the hairstyles, the fake sand dunes in the background, the fuzzy dream like filter over it. oh it was great. then i watched the nick and jessica version again. too too cute.. i think i was almost gushing, or tearing. i love disney. can't wait until the little mermaid comes out.. that's my faaaavorite.

i also watched another episode of my on-going felicity marathon. i'm still finishing season 2 and season 3 is waiting to be watched (as is seasons 2, 3, and 4 of dawson's creek)... see what i mean about buying stuff i don't watch right away. oh well... it looks good on the shelf :) anyhow.. i think i like felicity better than dawson's creek as a whole just because it ended the RIGHT way.. with felicity and ben together. they just had to ruin dawson's creek by putting joey with pacey in the end.... hello.. dawson's creek. anyways.. the end of season 2 is where ben and felicity get back together, but in this particular episode felicity goes clubbing, leaves ben a drunk "i don't need you and i don't trust you and that's why we can never be" message (yes, very friends like), ben dissapears, but when ben comes back he tells felicity he's been thinking about where is the point that he messed up, and what made her not trust him .. (nice.. how many guys do that?) and he remembers it was when they had a date to watch a silent movie in the park and he stood her up. so then he gives felicity this big thing and she unwraps it and he says:

ben: do you know what that is?
felicity: yea, it's a film cannister
ben: no... it's a time machine.


awwwwwwwwwwww. how CUTE is that.. all of my sappy girly aura was overpowering my room last night.. but it was too cute.. and then they spend the night watching the movie on the roof. that's just perfect. that's the way it's supposed to be huh?

la di da.. i'm bored.

sure.. nothing new. but the internet is down, the dsl died, and without that i can't run the reports on my other computer. thank god i work on both networks and have the internet on this one, because if not i'd just be going batty playing solitaire for 4 hours. there is also freecell and pinball. there's also minesweeper - but my mouse doesn't work right, so it's not so fun to play. hmm...

nothing much going on.. just waitiing for the clock to tick down. beth told me that once her company had no power, so her whole dept went to noah's bagels to chit chat. i guess because they couldn't just sit in the dark. but my boss likes to keep me here.. just in case i guess. i really wish i could go home and have them call me when the internet is back on.. i could watch my aladdin dvd, clean my room, or sleep.. something. but now i'm just checking my email every 5 minutes, logging onto friendster and myspace and just... trying to find ways to occupy myself. it's good times.

monday night we lost (again :( ) at softball. it was the number one team so i expected lots of pain, but it wasn't too bad. we were actually up after the first inning, but maybe they were just psyching us out, luring us into a false sense of security, and then beating our asses down. i don't feel too bad because some people at my work have a team and supposedly they've only scored like 6 runs in their four games combined. haha.. they also said they lost 60 runs to something before. is that even possible? they have cute shirts though, and i bet they still have fun. they just don't care cuz they know hockey, not softball, is their sport i guess. tuesday night was work. wasn't too bad.. i had to spew a little bit of attitude at this one girl (who really looks kind of manly) and i think people were either annoyed, shocked or.. i dunno.. something... it might have been a little mean, but i was sick of people yelling at me and whining about crap just because they were losing/had lost/might lose. be like us, sack up and own that you suck. haha.. don't blame anyone else.. don't be like the spoiled girl on america's next top model. don't blame others... :P listen to tyra.

another repeat topic.. i need to curb my spending habits. i got my credit card bill. ack.. tooooo much money. i used to be so careful when my credit limit was $500.. now that it's higher.. i am out of control. somebody take it away from me.. quick. i gotta find my receipts and go on a returning spree.. even my cute new shoes from steve madden :( my new picture frame i get to keep though because it's non-returnable.. hahaha.

anyways.. i'm just babbling because i'm bored. only 45 minutes to go!

who's coming to see my play on thursday... anyone? anyone?

Monday, October 11, 2004

yay!!! so my trailer is up at the cherry sky films site. which is exciting :) i watched it, and i don't know if it's my computer, but it seems a little jaunting.. or something. plus on my computer the sound is definitely bad since i'm using the built in speaker on the computer. but i still love it :) BECAUSE IT'S AWESOME.... it takes a little bit of time to load.. but you should most definitely check it out.

go to
www.cherryskyfilms.com
click on news
at the top right hand you'll see a link for trailer, and you can click on that.

the trailer should load and you can watch it. yippee!! i hope you like it.. a prize goes out to anyone who can identify all the songs i used :) who's up for the challenge?

check it out! and the rest of the site of course :)

let me know what you think!!
so this week has been a lot of up and down..but in then end i think that i have a lot to be happy about.. so ... yea. i was super overdramatic about last week, but i guess i was just having a shitty day in general.. and the first place i go to vent is they blog. so it's just unfortunate that you get all the emotional dribble that comes out when i'm first really angry without really asking. (although by coming here aren't you kind of asking for it?) anyhoo, nicole didn't beat my ass down and didn't kill me like everyone said she would, so i'm grateful for that. she even gave me a bottle of limoncello (lemon flavored alcohol?) from italy (yay!!) that i actually still have in my purse. mm.. work is going to be fun today. jk. she gave to each me and beth, except i got the one that's 35% alcohol, and beth got 20%.. man.. everyone thinks that i'm an alcoholic. :P

anyhoo...last week was busy.. and i still have 6 hours of tv saved on my tivo that i don't have the energy or time to watch. mostly it's my own fault.. but i like to make myself "seem" cool that i have so much to do :P even though i've "taken a break" from the gap lately, since i'm stage managing, what i thought would be free time, has been quickly taken up. although since we opened last week we no longer have rehearsals, and it's just one show a week. i'll probably have to go back to the gap soon for holiday season, but it might be exciting... today is the first day for the new cross brand credit card :) nice huh? or finally. we had softball on monday (lost 18-9.. boo hoo), tuesday i worked, but beth came by to hang out and so afterwards benji, beth and i went to the kettle to chit chat, sneer at ladies we though were being mean to us, and eat lots of crap late at night. it was very entertaining to listen to beth and benji argue about gay marriage in the background of me trying to scorekeep. no particular reason why.. but just to hear them fight. haha. the only thing is is that sometimes they like to gang up against me and make fun of me.. and that's not so fun :P wednesday was the last day of tech hell before thursday which of opening night and then friday i got to just stay home and do nothing :) awesome. i was going to go to the "pain in the butt" class, but didn't, and actually went with my dad to china buffet for dinner.

i actually really dislike china buffet, i think it's pretty disgusting, but my parents really like it. my dad especially wanted to go because they had king crab legs in their buffet. my dad has been asking me if i wanted to go with him for a few weeks now, and i've always been not able to go, so i figure.. what the hell, and humored him. it was okay, not the best, but not as awful as the first time i went. the highlight was my dessert where i had these sugar donut bits topped with ice cream. yum. :) my dad was in king crab leg heaven (and for only $12.99) but not as much as the two ladies across from us who only ate crab legs and lots of them. their entire table was filled with plates of empty shells, and they kept going for more. but i guess that's pretty smart of them. it's definitely a popular item there, as soon as they'd bring out a tray, people would be swarming around, and sometimes grabbing a lot and it'd be gone within like 5-10 minutes. then they'd have to wait another 20 minutes or so for another tray and the process would start over again, while people circled around the area like vultures. this time there was no fobby happy birthday music playing every 10 minutes, i guess nobody wanted to go their for their birthday friday night. overall it was a good time with my dad.. and it ended with me spraying water all over him with my straw because he bet me that i couldn't hit him. haha.. it sounds weird, but we were having lots of fun :)

saturday i was supposed to stay home and be productive at home, but i ended up going to softball practice in LA, coming back to shower, going back to LA to have late lunch/early dinner with jeff-gu and joan. yay for olive garden and the never ending pasta bowl. and cheers to us for being asian and sharing our food all the time :) haah.. jeff suggested we give our leftovers to a homeless guy standing outside the restaurant and we figured why not. he needed it more than we did, although his pot belly would say otherwise :P we joked how it was from "all the carbs he was eating from standing outside olive garden" :P and then i remembered how i had two bits of half eaten breadstick in my box of leftovers. oops, that will probably seem kind of gross, but hey i wasn't intending on giving it to anyone when i did that :P we did a little shopping at expo - i helped my sister pick out a new mirror for her bathroom.. yay!!! her house is coming together so nicely :) it's purrtty. and then to best buy.. heheh.. the simple life on dvd for $5.99. awesome :) and a bunch of other dvd's. haha.. i am such a sucker for... everything. i almost bought seasons 1-4 of saved by the bell, but my sister stopped me.. which was probably a good thing :) then i sped off to work and worked two ice hockey games. which was fun, because sometimes i like doing something other than inline.. but sucky because i got yelled at and harassed by stupid people. dumb dumb dumb. i got yelled at a few times on tuesday, but i guess since i see them every week, they're a little nicer to me. oh well.. whatever.. people are just stupid sometimes.

sunday we were supposed to go to disneyland during the day, but the guy who was supposed to cover my shift at work never showed up, so i felt bad and delayed the fun and went to work for a few hours, left early and went to disneyland with beth and nicole :) we ate dinner, marveled at the redecorated haunted mansion for nightmare before christmas - which is pretty genious because it's halloween and christmas without having to change anything. nicole and beth gabbed about all the amazing art and facts about italy. we rode it's a small world, indiana jones and i finally got to go on the tea cups.. yay! haha.. and beth went on splash mountain with me. we got out just in time to catch the fireworks show (that's what they were all camping out for nicole.. not fantasmic :P) and did a little bit of shopping on main street. the heinous girl from rainforest wanted a receipt when i went to ask for validation. when did they start the crackdown? boo them. it was a fun fun night, except for the sakura couldn't come :( and beth and i got a little lost on the way home... oops.. but we were alright. we missed the 91 ... and we could have just got off and got the on the freeway going the other way.. except we just saw a huge car accident on the other side which caused a huge traffic jam.. so we just had to stop and pull out the map and figure out side streets. not too shabby.

tonight is softball.. apparently we're playing the best team in the league (which i thought we already had when we got our asses kicked in previous games.. but i guess i'll just have to prepare for slaughter tonight), tuesday is work, and thursday is the play. (i hope someone will come this week!) i'll probably take another week or two of break and go back to the gap. or maybe i'll get a job before then! (hah.. was that a joke?) but anyhoo....... maybe it's time to get back to work. blah blah blah.

happy columbus day.

Thursday, October 07, 2004

so i don't know what it is about asian adults and their need to be so frank with other asian people. i mean.. my parents always say a lot of crap, but my mom always spews some crap like "oh it's because i love you... i'll tell you the truth like your friends won't." with that said...

yesterday went to the last tech before we open tomorrow. i went straight from work so that i could be "early" but traffic and trying to find parking made sure that i wasn't too early. i got there and checked in and decided to get some stuff to eat. so i went to the pizza place because the chicken place was closed for some reason and got other people food as well. then i stopped into this store that has snacks and weird "hollywood" souvenirs for tourists and junk. it's run by this korean couple and today the korean man was there. i walk in carrying two small boxes of pizza and a bag. and i ask him if i can set it on the counter while i get some drinks. and he makes some conversation...

korean man: "are you chinese?"
me: "yes"
korean man: "you're very beautiful"

or at least that's what i thought he said.. i wouldn't second guess my hearing except for what he said after that.

me: (laughs) "oh thanks"
korean man: "how old are you?"
me: a little creeped hoping he doesn't ask me out or something "twenty two"
korean man: "ahh.. only twenty two?"
me: courtesy laugh.. "yes"
korean man: "you need more diet" (making large hand gestures demonstrating my obesity)
me: *blink* *pause*.. another courtesy laugh.

what the heck was i supposed to say? i mean.. i guess i supposed i could say "you're right" or "i know" or "shove it asshole" .. but i had no idea. like he made me feel good with that first compliment and then just shot it down like it was open season on my self-esteem. did he think that all those pizza boxes and bags of food and two drinks were all for me? or is that just how older asian people are with the "younger generation." i know my mom's friends used to say stuff like that to my sister and she would be really upset, but never complete strangers. and it's not like he was trying to be mean... i'm sure he fully expects me to come into his store again tonight.. he asked me where i lived, if i was a visitor.. or whatever. or maybe he felt he could be that frank since he'd never see me again. i should go in there every thursday from now on... who knows. it's a little embarassing telling you all this, but it's also a little funny as well. so have a laugh at my expense.

Monday, October 04, 2004

i just totally majorly fucked up. before nicole left for italy she put me in charge of registering for this mouseplanet thing we wanted to go to. i said that we should register before she leaves, just to make sure it's all taken care of. those are possibly the smartest words i've uttered, but yet i didn't listen to myself. last week i checked and the registration fee had gone up from $12 to $20. dammit. there was an $8 i was thinking about eating for my 'teammates' since it was sort of my bad i didn't remember. i thought about what a good teamname would be and sort of forgot about it again. i didn't even think about the possibility of it getting full. who knew these things were so popular. not me... but i'm also quite dumb. so yea.. i checked today.. and it's full. i fucking suck right now. maybe beth is right.. i am totally unrealiable and an unpleasant person. rad. and everyone laughs at me because they think whenever i say a time to meet.. it means 1 hour later. no wonder i'm such a loser. grr.
happy october! well a few days late, but you get the point.. whatever.

today started off to be a good day... this morning i woke up a little earlier to get to work at a decent time.. but i dillydallied a little and then got a phone call from NICOLE IN ITALY!! yay!!! i was sad because i missed her phone call on friday due to my not getting reception at work. boo.. plus since they changed my desk i don't get any of my phone calls since they haven't transferred the line yet. argh. oh well.. we chatted for 30 minutes while i was supposed to be at work (oops).. but it was nice chatting with her.. she told me how hot her tour guide was, how great the italian men are and how she's whoring it up and down and all around town. just kidding on that last part. as we were getting off the phone i screamed "hook up with some guys!" and she said okay. i expect exciting stories when she comes back :P

i interviewed for this pretty big special effects company and didn't get the job. boo hoo hoo... argh.. i hate this. i feel like it's never going to happen.. i should just give up and work at the gap for the rest of my life. or fine some clerk or cold calling job somewhere. totally unrelated to anything i want to do. how do people make it.. it is even worth. just like that msn article said.. do what you love and you'll starve. blech.

i am stage managing the play again. they called and really needed someone.. and since nothing else is working out right now.. i said okay. it's fun and funny.. you guys should come out and see it (if you're in the LA area).. hopefully everyone will come out. i know i'm not actually in it (on stage/acting etc).. but it would still mean a lot to me if you came. and the show isn't bad.. so there's a plus. i'll post more info later.. or ask me! :)

i don't really follow baseball that well.. but i think it's cool that there's a chance that it could be a "freeway world series" or whatever they call it. dodgers and angels.. yay for so.cal pride! but then it's harder to choose who to root for.. haha.. maybe the one with the cuter team. jk.

friday a bunch of us girls went out for sakura's early birthday celebration in hermosa. it was a lot of fun :) we drank those big fish bowl size buckets of mixed drinks.. and danced a lot. we went to the union cattle for sakura to ride the bull but didn't quite make it all the way to the bull.. oh well.. she promised next time! it was a good time. except when i woke up at 6am feeling like my stomach was going to hurl itself out of my body. oh my.. i felt so horrendous for a good hour. i stood over the toilet and up against a trash can for a good while, as a preemptive measure.. but nothing came out. i forced down some water, and finally managed to get back to sleep and woke up at 9am feeling great. thank god for water :P i was so relieved that i was feeling really good when i woke back up though. went to rehearsal and then to hang out with my sister. whenever i hang out with her now we always go shopping and i always end up spending a TON of money. i'm not in debt, but i'm not saving any money.. but i have lots of cute stuff! hah. we ate at this greek place on 3rd street, which was pretty yummy but pricey.. went back to chill at her place and played a little bit of poker. after losing all my chips i went over to venice to celebrate luz/vi's birthday! i don't see her all that often because she's in santa barbara now.. mostly just for birthdays.. but it was fun hanging out with her and her lifeguarding friends :) the sucky part is that i didn't notice the parking lot sign that said no parking from 11pm-5am. funny thing is that i parked in that lot at 11:48.. shouldn't they close it or something? damn.. that's a $45 fee for being a dumbass.

sunday i napped, ate, shopped a little, browsed the sunday ads and went to tech rehearsal. since i came into the show a lot later, it's harder to adjust because i don't know everything so well. i'm losing a night of tech for softball too.. i hope wednesday's tech isn't too painful. the booth is different too and a little spread out, and there's a lot more light cues than i anticipated.. i hope i can pull them all off. i guess that's my job right? we'll see how it goes tonight... i'm going up to test some stuff out and then coming back in time for the game. i hope we don't lose, but i think we're playing a really good team again. i've lost a lot of confidence in my abilities as a pitcher, and i keep having really awful flashes of me getting hit in the face/head and going blind/getting knocked out/brain damage/dying. that doesn't help too much. i gotta get over the hump.

it's almost halloween. almost a year since i've had this temp job. it's funny how so many things can change in a year... and yet some other things don't. oh well.. life is change huh? haha.. stupid ICON motivational speaker.. it's so cheesy.. but so memorable. i'm hungry.. and i want to go home to sleep. anyone want to be my sugar daddy?
