list-less in downtown san jose

i have never been known for my great ambition. i always joke with my mother that my older sister Tricia took most of the ambition supply allowed to our family, or at the very least she took all of mine. i don't know what it is with me, but getting me motivated is harder than finding an honest politician. Now, this could all fall into the cliche that i am lazy because i am fat, and all fat people are lazy, right? but instead i'll tell you the real reason.....i don't have one. Somehow, i have just always been able to float on through life doing the least amount of work possible. i don't dislike hard work. In fact, there is something gratifying about it. However, if you don't have to, why bother? I refuse to get caught up in the details and get all stressed out. my life could be summed up by the "c-student" mentality. in other words, most stuff i do ends up being "satisfactory" like the grades my teachers gave me in elementary school. All of this being said, i came to the realization today that i need to make monthly to-do lists if i ever want to get anything done.
so here for your viewing pleasure is my to-do list for the next two weeks and beyond:

-FINISH MY FUCKING BATHROOM
-read at least 3 stories a night from "Dress your Family in Corduroy and Denim"
-Get the ugly rolled up wool rug out of the middle of my living room.
-really clean the house (vacum, sweep, dust, disinfect)
-wash the damn car. good.
-save money and get out of debt. NO MORE FRIVILOUS SPENDING!!!!!
-get the pilot light in my oven lit.
-limit my tv viewing to 2 hrs per night, and only AFTER i have finished other things.
-help maintain the backyard. it really could be that cute.
-Take more walks downtown. it's only a matter of days before it's dark by 5:30. boo!
-pay bills on time.
-develop the pictures and send video of wedding to be put on DVD.

i'm sure there's more, but that is a start.

Cinequest Film Festival is taking over Downtown San Jose as we speak, and last night I went to the California Theatre to check out Tenacious DTour , a documentary that followed the D on their world tour in support of The Pick of Destiny . A funny thing happened when my friend and I went to pick out seats. We ended up sitting right next to Kyle Gass and his girlfriend. for those of you who aren't familiar with who he is, he's the other guy in the band who's not Jack Black. We had our momentary silent freak out when we realized it was him, at which point I quietly leaned over and told him he was awesome. He quietly thanked me, and normalcy was restored until a few kids came over asking for autographs. He obliged but soon realized the mini pencil he was given to sign with wasn't going to work. Thanks to my new Andy Warhol Happy Bug Day tote bag, complete with handy organizational top compartment, i had easy access to my pen. I handed it over with great joy, and he was abl

awaiting the arrival of the great pumpkin

happy halloween everyone! tonight is the night that all of the little ones have been waiting for all year. i remember being going trick or treating as a kid and the smell of mixed candies and pillowcases, the stomach ache you'd get from consuming 1/2 your bagworth an hour after you'd get home, and protecting what was left of your stash from the hungry hands of those around you. I used to hide a lot of my candy, and then forget about it and find it a year later, gooey and stuck to a notebook in the back of my closet. Now that i am older, however, my halloween usually takes place at a party the weekend before the big day. This year, i once again ventured to Pasadena to celebrate with my friends Liz and Melanie. here is a short re-cap of the trip highlights - to combat my discomfort when flying, i had a few drinks, became very relaxed and accidently left my id on the plane. i needed a new one anyway. the picture on my old one was from, like, 8 years ago. -i re-aquainted myself wit
