my dad is currently driving to san francisco. "right now?" you ask? yes.. this very second. they left around midnight, and i guess are going to be there early morning. good for avoiding traffic i suppose. my dad has monday night because of columbus day a or something and city of LA employees get all kinds of extra days off.. like cesar chavez day.. haha. i hope my dad took naps and got lots of rest... i'm a little bit worried although i know he is a great driver and knows what he can and can't do.. i still worry a little bit. i think i get it from my mom. my dad used to make the norcal drive all the time. especially when my sister was going to berkeley and we'd drive every fall and summer to cart her stuff around. my dad was always fond of the long drives.. road trips. i remember once we drove to canada.

my dad also has to get home somehow (since he's driving someone else's car up for them). not that my aunt isn't willing to buy him a plane ticket back.. but my dad is insisting on taking the train back. the TRAIN.... from norcal. actually.. it's a train to bakersfield and a bus the rest of the way. bleh. you know how i feel about buses!! it'll take 7 hours or so but my dad keeps saying he's never been on a train (in the US) so now he wants to experience it, he's not just being polite.. he's really excited about taking the train. my dad is so odd sometimes. so funny.

i now have to go the chiro three times a week to "heal" from the car accident. and maybe now apparently i might also have TMJ. argh. it sucks so bad with all the time i have to take off of work and all.. and all the gas and driving that i will have to be doing now. bah. there are times when i feel fine, and time when i don't feel so hot. my jaw hurts so bad right now. and it seems like such a silly thing to say, but that's all i can think about right now.

maybe.. just maybe i should think about sleep huh?

my mom is thinking about getting a laptop... i think she realizes how convenient it is, especially if you are on the go or not at home. i don't think she likes having to share computer time with my sis, or imposing on her and just wants to have her own so she can be on it late at night in her own studio while she's watching her chinese soaps and writing out her 2 hour long emails. haha.. my sister told her apple's are better so i told her she should get an ibook. probably a 12incher. it'll be SO CUTE!!! i think i would have to occasionally steal it just to play with it and hold it. i'm sorry to cheat on you powerbook but i swear i still love you too. who knows if that'll happen.. but i got excited for a second. so lame.. i know.

i was going to start this great music reorganization (as angelee calls it).. and make sure all the songs i want are loaded onto my iMac and thus loaded into my ipod before i go to taiwan. but i got lazy and distracted by SNL and myspace. i can't believe they let ashlee simpson back on snl. well i can.. ratings and all. but bleh. i'm sure she sang live this time, can't risk not. but she is still super annoying. she was so pleased and giddy after she did "well" she was jumping up and down for joy.. like she had never sang a real song in her life. or maybe she was pleased she got away with the lip-singing this time. haha... the show wasn't as funny as i hoped it would be. the funniest was the opening monologue where they had cast members pretend to be people that napoleon dynamite was "supposedly" based on. i laughed out loud it was so funny. the neighbors must have thought i was crazy.

okay.. pretty tired.. tomorrow.. i dunno.. i hope it's super hot so i can layout by the pool. i've been wanting to do that forever but i haven't be able to. and lately the days it's been sweltering are weekdays when i am wasting away indoors. boo. if not i'm sure i can find plenty to do. we also have a softball game tomorrow... we'll see how that goes.. bah :P
