to be fair, i am a little bias. but who could argure with that mug?

teenagers....pfft

friends, i fear that i have become an *gasp* adult overnight thanks to spending a few days with my 13 year old niece this past weekend. i always assumed that i would remain the cool, young aunt in the eyes of my beloved nieces and nephew. maybe i just don't understand teenagers as much as i thought i did....humph. it wasn't so long ago that i was there, so how could i be so out of touch with their ways of thinking? i think i'm just sad because C, the thirteen year old, used to be such a happy child, but now she is just a moody teenager. At any rate, the thought of having kids of my own some day and dealing with them when they become teenagers suddenly makes me want to run off and join a convent..... my mother's fondest wish come true! Don't get me wrong it wasn't a bad weekend. we: went to johnny rockets, saw Tim Burton's Corpse Bride , and shared some music on Friday night did abosolutely nothing on Saturday except watch: The Nightmare Before Christmas A Bo

i love big rings. i feel it's one of the things that denfines my "style" if there is such a thing as far as i am concerned. i am so very relieved that the person who robbed me doesn't care for large rings.

dive bar detours or san jose is for lovers, your choice

i was born and raised in san jose, california. this is a large city, but most people have never heard much about it, because, well, there isn't much to tell. it's about 45min southeast of San Francisco, and 35 min northeast of Santa Cruz, so at least it has great accessability. after 5 years of college in northern california, i moved back last year to persue a carreer in.......whatever job i could find with a degree in theatre that didn't actually involve theatre. After a few months of retail hell, i took over for my friend at her old job when she got a new one. This was way different for me. i had never had a desk job before. i like it a lot, and it just happens to be located across the street from one of my grandmas houses that she rents out, so a few months ago, i began renting an apartment in this house. how convinent! so here i am living the "single in the city" fantasy. most of time i stay at home and drink seeing as how paying rent makes me pretty broke, bu

i'm happy to report that one of my favorite shows of all time will be around a little longer to up the ante on politically incorrect humor and mediocre animation. that's right, kids.....comedy central has renewed South Park for another 3 years!!!!!!!! oh, and the new season begins Oct. 19th @10pm.

season three-hee..... here we coooommmme!

some of my friends say that season 2 sucked, and while i agree that it wasn't up to the standard of season 1, it by no means "sucked". I have high hopes for season 3, though, and from the previews i've seen so far, i don't think i'll be disappointed. I have a friend who has been working on the show a bit and what she has told me(from what she can gather about what's going on plot-wise, she doesn't watch the show) indicates that the drama only gets better! Here's what i know: -Marissa will be attending a new school with *gasp* minorities. okay, so i'm not that cool. That's all i know, but i feel like i hit the jackpot. a good friend of mine working on The OC ? yes, i am a total dork.
