burn the nightclub down (old 97s)

i was mean toward a friend who acts kind of pathetic.

i shouldn't have -- i know it is very hard when your closest friends move away and you feel lonely.

it reminded me of one friday night last summer. at the end of the day, eugene suggested that we (me, him, priscilla) grab dinner after work. both priscilla and i were not enthused, but we went anyways. eugene was lonely; we were lonely too. it reminded me also of playing games with dan and john. their girlfriends had left for the summer, and i would hang out with anyone. (anyone who knows me knows that my top favorite social activites include dinner and board games. so it's not that i wasn't genuinely interested in hanging out!)

i guess the point of this ramble is: -1 point to carol for not acting with more sympathy. people have held out their hands to me, and i should only do the same.

my mom totally rocks

i think it's awesome that my mom has started spending more time on her artwork! dealing with two kids and a traveling husbund must be so hard, but she's managed to do it all. some slightly blurry photographs:

today, my sister and i saved the universe from king bowser's reign of tyranny. we liberated princess peace and restored freedom and democracy to all critters of mario galaxy. our eyes were tired, our thumbs weary, but our hearts strong. it was difficult, but we stayed the course and prevailed!

many things were said, like:
- "this is the moment to shine. oops, now is not the moment."
- "up is down and down is up"
- "RUN!"
- "eeeeee..."

high five!

happenings

things happen, but i don't do anything, at least nothing of substance.  the days just fall through me...

• i fought the law and the law won:  two parking tickets
  
• arts and crafts:  sfmoma with terry, west 32nd at the intl asian american film fest wtih garett and company.  my sketch pad and charcoal pencils still is on the table, unused.
  
• dinner at the beach with john joanna
• brunch with the girls
  
• roommate bonding:  band of brothers, dinner and drinks with michael
• yoga with lauren
  
• visitors:  manisha (how different our lives are), garett (moving on up), and coming up, katherine
• partee:  whalen's going away, rew's gathering, and heather-ravi-yuri's birthday bash.  a note so i don't forget, priscilla's birthday as well.

one for mr. freud

i dreamt that my lower retainer (glued permanently to the back of my teeth), fell out. 

 

okay, it didn't just fall it -- it was torn out (why?), along with some of my teeth.  broken wire remained in my mouth, though, and it scraped my tongue and the inside of my cheeks.  ouch.

 

a quick survey of the internets tell me this means i am a. worried about my appearance and b. worried about embarassing myself.

i get caught up on the internets sometimes.  my usuals are nytimes and slate.  some recent internet reading:

• the sartorialist, introduced by priscilla.  pictures of fasionable people.  fascinating.
• an off and on staple, bookslut.  they've got a list of nifty comics in 2007. 
  
• t-shirt design sites, threadless and shirt.woot.
• pg-13 celebrity gossip at popsugar from irena.
• a dominatrix's weblog at the smith diaries.  really fascinating.
• webcomics:  indexed, xkcd, perry bible fellowship, and sizematters.

i should really get away from the computer.  but the internet is endlessly fascinating.
