myspace is the ultimate procrastination tool. dammit.. i spent nearly 1.5hrs searching around on that shiznit. it was interesting.. BUT.. pointless... nothing that i couldn't have done at work :P hahah. so... now i should really get to work. i'm SO unproductive during the weekends. probably because i put things off because i feel like i have soooooo much time... and then all of a sudden. i have none. sucks. i need more self discipline. and on that note.. time to go. have to have something flushed out and fedexed on monday. argh. let's see what i can pull out of my arse.

ack.. it's ONLY wednesday. maybe the week just seems longer.. but... i really need it to be friday or something. BUT... maybe it is a good sign that the week is moving so slowly, because i still need that time to meet the deadlines. grrr.. my powerbook was shipped out yesterday.. so hopefully i will get it thurs or friday. i can't wait :) it will be all shiny and pristine and i won't want to take the plastic off of it.. so asian. :P i got my new drive too.. it's a different version and a louder model. boo.. but i guess beggars can't be choosers, and if you want what you've already got.. don't effin drop it. stupid...
i am averaging about 1min a day.. at this rate.. i will NEVER be done. i guess the later footage isn't as complete and isn't as good for doing what i want to do which is slowing down the process. no fun. i am trying not to be too redundant, trying to be creative, but trying to cover everything at the same time... so.. we will see. there are parts that i like, parts that i don't, things that i hate, things that confuse me... and while i hate it all... someone told me to think about how good i'll feel once it's all done (assuming i am relatively proud of what i've completed) .. and so that's what i should focus on.
i was late for work today. overslept. oops. yet.. i have been eating free food all day - m&m's, cheesecake, peas, salad, rice, steak... i'm going to roll home.
day is half over. and the countdown begins.

so jason mraz was on jay leno tonight(last night/a hour ago)... you know what i was REALLY excited about? at the end of the show where they roll the credits on half the screen and the other half is showing clips.. they were showing a police chase!!!! BUT.. since i haven't been watching tv, and just checked it out on my tivo... i have no idea what was going on with the chase.. if it was an update or what... i dunno.... so now i want to know about the chase!!!
grrr..
mr. a-z in stores yesterday.. go buy it :P
back to work... arggghhh.
"a la la la la.. it's all about the wordplay"

i'm so excited... and i just can't hide it!!!
sorry for the cheesy 80's song... due to listening to it too many times with this "oh so fun" cki video.
BUT.. anyways.. i just placed the order for my new baby... a 15inch powerbook.
YEEEEEESSSSSSSS.
i kept waffling on the decision.. unsure of whether or not to buy it, whether it was justified, whether i should spend the money on it. i JUST bought my imac at the beginning of this year.. and while i still LOVE my imac.. i was enticed by the portability and sexyness of the powerbook. (more the former than the latter of course). i had been thinking about getting one for awhile.. maybe an ibook for the portability. all the people who work production at my work have one, and then this week with the crash of the drives, i thought i would need a second computer for when i was getting some additional help.. and it kind of solidified my want for another one. i can also take it home so we can conduct the iSights with my family and sister in taiwan (while my computer is at my sister's house.. or just elsewhere in general if i cease to live at home anymore.. which i hope will be soon.. but who knows now that i have blown my savings on this.. :P) ... i can take my lappie with me to many many places.. including when i go to taiwan for my new nephew.. (oooohhh!!).. so.. i think that even after this project is over.. i can make good use of it. if not.. carlene said she might buy it.
but.. i have a feeling i will adore my new powerbook. i won't neglect my sexy imac though.. promise. i spent a LOT of time and bugging a LOT of people agonizing over whether to get an ibook vs. a powerbook, the 12 inch vs. the 15 inch... and of course whether to get it at all. in the end.. i just decided to get it.. quick, rip off the bandaid so it doesn't hurt, just click and buy it before you change your mind again!!
BUT.. in a few short days i will have my friend and it will be apple central over here.
i am addicted like drugs.
PS... we won our softball game tonight!!! WHOOOOO HOOOO!!! :)

happy birthday linh!!!
*linh is into self-portraitism too :)
*linh is into self-portraitism too :)
linh probably thought i was the crappiest friend ever... because i didn't want to "hang out" with her or go to her company picnic despite that it was her birthday weekend... because i've been "working" on my project, but yet went out to other bday parties/work things. i couldn't go to her company picnic cuz i knew about her birthday dinner that night, and i couldn't go to both... but she didn't know about the dinner because it was a surprise, orchestrated by her bf, tony. aww.. how sweet. she thought they were going to go to dolce (ashton kutcher's restaurant).. and although she was sad about not getting the porterhouse steak, or the intimate dinner with tony... i think she was glad for the surprise and all of her friends there.... i think. haahah..
we ate at maggiano's little italy. the food was way yummy.. and while expensive by normal standards.. pretty average by birthday/special dinner standards. although.. not dolce's porterhouse steak.. their family style large party menu is a pretty creative way of serving.. i especially like it because you can share without having to eat off other people's plates, and variety is good for indecisive people like me.
*yay for turning twenty four*

i am so.freaking.screwed.
and not just in the ordinary "oh i have so many projects due and so little time to do them" but in the "i dropped my external hard drive and lost ALL of my information/footage/work" kind of way.
yea... idiot.
it's gone.. well.. i'm not in total hysterics just yet because i have that SLIM glimmer of hope that some super awesome tech guy at my work can possibly fix it. i am an idiot and brought the drive home to try and see if it'd make a difference which cord i used... now it's not only not working, but now making extra funny noises.
S.C.R.E.W.E.D.
luckily (sort of) my program autosaves to my computer, so i have the bare bones of my piece.... but none of the footage to fill it in.. so everything is "offline"... re-digitizing will possibly have to occur if i can't save my drive. and i will have to be meticulous in matching everything up exactly to be the same... if i even can get it to point to the right place... which at this point i'm thinking it's impossible. crap.... it's like in sex and the city when SJP's computer dies... except i'm an idiot and dropped it. i might as well have threw it in the street and ran over it with my car at this point. maybe throw myself in the traffic along with it. sorry.. don't mean to be melodramatic but i just think about all the work lost. about the deadlines. and about what still needs to be done and/or now re-done.
i'm weeped a little bit.. as i sat on the floor of my work. not much of a huge crier in situations like these.. but now i'm in that state of shock/self-loathing. sorry if i left you a frantic message and don't answer when you call back... my phone is on silent. not really feeling like talking to anyone anymore.
if i get through this and get all this shiet done.. i will be amazed with myself.
i know that there is a reason for why things happen.. i am just wondering about this one.

this is for philly.. who was sad that she didn't read about jude law here first.. but it wasn't my thing... but i will say this... how hot is his fiancee (ex?) and he still cheated on her? dammit..... and what's with this?
elsewhere.. maybe mandy and zach are no more? sad.. they were cute too.. basically i love mandy moore.. and i'd be sad to see her break up with anyone.. unless it was someone she was way too good for. maybe secretly i'm hoping she'll get back with andy roddick :P
and wtf man... frankie muniz is engaged? there are no words...

good lord... i have almost forgotten what "all-nighters" are like. sort of. i mean.. i guess i stayed up all night for no good reason.. but to stay up to work.. different all-together.
i have like 7min44sec done of the first cki video (1 out of 2). it's supposed to be 10 minutes long, but i am only in the mid 90's and with at least 6 conventions worth of footage to finish highlighting. pain in my ass. yet i enjoy it a little or else i wouldn't be doing it. but i am totally screwed. due today, but i have some sort of an extension, but i have another video to do.. which i have less footage for which means harder to make the story for piece. argh. and i have a day or two to do it? before i have to ship it out to the jefes. bleh....
my mom gave me this concentrate of red tea (the kind they make boba with) and it helps.. i think i've drank almost all of it tonight.. i need to go home and get some more! tea works on me more than coffee does, but with the amount of caffiene i've put in my body i think it's almost getting used to it. next i will be a slave to the caffiene... bad bad news. i haven't yet resorted to red bull, so at least that's a good sign. and i haven't caved in to buying 6 packs of mountain dew. i wonder what works best.. or if it's all in my head.
another down side of staying up so many hours is that i get really hungry at odd times. like now... but i don't know what to eat... i don't want a full on meal. i want some cookies.. mmm.. but i don't have any.. boo.
crap.. i am starting to get tired. i want to finish this piece by tonight (this morning).. not sure how that's going to happen.. tonight it's taken me.. oh.. 6 hours to do 3 minutes. argh. and that's just slapping things together.. not even perfection. i think i'm kind of over it.. but shh.. don't tell them that. i took a little nap and while constantly pushing snooze, nicole called and got me to wake up. thanks nicole! now it's 4am and i am watching cki videos. whoo hoo....
tiiiirrrruuurrrrrd.

so i think i saw jessica simpson this morning... but i'm not sure.
this morning on my way to work i saw this really pretty blonde who looked a LOT like jessica... hair pulled back in that way she does it, big glasses, really cute pink top and the fluffy brown dog (daisy!!) who is a lot bigger than that puppy she first got. (how weird/sad/scary is it that i know all these details about her life....)
anyhoo.. it makes me wonder just a little bit if it was really her because she was driving this red cadillac lookin car .. (lincoln?).. and not some huge fancy car or her bmw's that they show on newlyweds.. but maybe those are her "tv cars" and she drives the other ones to be incognito. but it totally looked like her. maybe as she was turning left i should have went straight and hit her.. just to find out. haha..
...jk... now that's just crazy talk..

the best thing about living by myself (aka... living at my sister's house).. is that i can turn up my itunes allllll the way up, have madonna's holiday blasting and i can have an improptu dance party anytime i want.
:)
*i made sure to close the shutters and stay clear of all mirrors.
okay.. back to work :P
