a perfectly prepared breakfast
a clean house
dance parties in your boxers
a sunny day
britney spears, nsync, tu pac and spice girls blasting in your car
frolicking on the beach with puppies


as ice cube would say "today was a good day"

i found this surprise on my photobooth.

hey so... i should be sleeping because i have to work tomorrow but i thought i'd share some pretty reeeediculous events of the evening/day, in bullet form! yay!:

• Woke up and called Angel at 10:30 am (she's back from Asia) and girl was still waking up, but of course i understood, just having gotten over jetlag myself
• Went over to her house and compared treasures from Asia. Bitch got a new delicious chocolate leather purse with secret zipper/clepto compartments, knockoff marc jacobs coat, and etc. For my birthday/souvenirs she got me some tea from San Francisco (when she took her trip to Berkeley before China) and a bead bracelet from China!
• Took secret love polaroids with scott's camera of us in sketchy parking lots and in front of the overtly sexual Abercrombie and Fitch billboards
• Found my future kitty at the Pasadena Humane Society. She is a 3 year old Calico who is very social, active, and affectionate. All qualities that i was specifically looking for. I have to still ask my mom if i can have her, but good chances i will. I'm bringing in my application tomorrow.
• Took a cat nap (zing) and passed the fuck out
• Scotch came over and said i looked like shit and that i needed to put my face on. He says he only says it because he cares and he is my husband
• Scotch, Angel, Paloma, and I head over to Birds for dinner before hitting up Upright Citizens Brigade for Facebook night
• Immediately as we start heading towards the door, who be sitting in the front patio?! SHIA LEBEOF
• what started as a joke of sending him a drink, turns into a master plan. I speak with our waitress and she discourages us from sending him a drink. And not because he's mean or anything but because the restaurant wants him the fuck out of there! haha apparently he has been soliciting/smoking cigarettes/ drinking coors light for the past 2.5 hours. wow he has basically has lived up to all my expectations of him. Though this info does nothing to me and i am relentless. I decide i want to send him a glass of milk. It's decided. and then right as i was going to the bar, he finally leaves the restaurant. so... i'm sure you're all curious.  i thought he was looking good, but shouldn't he be laying off the sauce especially after the recent DUI? i guess not.
• then we head over to UCB for comedy. we are late. bitches at the ticket counter. we enter and a smile immediatley appears on my face. paul sheer, and other fellas from VH1 are all on stage. they project facebook profiles and subject volunteers to hilarious hot seat roasts. i wanted to go real bad, and next time i'll be prepared and on time!!!
• Cafe 101
• We laugh about how creepy i am

sorry i needed to just write this out so i can laugh at how ridiculous and shameless, my friends and I are.

is it just me but choosing classes seems to always be better than actually taking them?

spring 2009

what i will probably end up taking:

experimental film and video (with david crane, the best dressed dapper suppossedly charismatic man in santa cruz/probs the bay area)
intro to film production and technique

what is feasible:

history of french culture, 19th century (with angela elsey, who is sort of a hard ass, but good teacher)
chinese/mandarin 1
jewish personal narratives (i really want to take this! it's a porter class and it's taught by my old core teacher, who i think is nice and a very generous grader) ** edit jewish personal narratives on film (documentary. hmm more reason)
artists and issues (anyone take this, is it any good?)

wishlist:

russian structures (interesting)
sound art

i'm heading home today. i've been homesick for the last few days, missing my friends and small details about home (like driving in car, my two dogs, fast food). But now, i'm sort of sad. even though it's only been nearly a month, i feel like i've lived more than i have for the last 6 months. i have met the most amazing and interesting people. seen the most wondrous things. tasted new flavors. took risks. even though, i am sad now and almost unsure how my return to the states will be, i am very grateful for this experience. especially because i learned to take full advantage.

i think i am ready for santa cruz.

see you soon.

it has taken me over 1.5 years to grow my hair the length that it is now (just above my boobs). i want to grow it longer but i'm getting restless. when i'm over having too much hair i'm cutting it this short (just below the chin, with layers) a la Alexa Chung
