dvd. i think it actually stands for difficult. very difficult.

i have a pet peeve to share. i pretty much loathe dvds. i like the convenience of how small they are, and the fact that you can jump from one part of something to another rather quickly, but that is where it ends. They scratch easily, and it makes viewing a frustrating task sometimes. I'm almost afraid to watch any of my personal dvds for fear that they will scratch and become unwatchable.
Since i no longer have money to blow on dvds, i have been turning to my local library for seasons of my favorite shows. My recent favorites include sex and the city, six feet under, and queer as folk. I had been going to from start to finish of each series until i was forced check out dvds instead of vhs, since vhs has become scarce in the new millennium. So far, every dvd set that i have attempted to watch has been so badly scratched they barely play, if at all. perhaps my pet peeve lies with the inconsiderate slobs who check out the dvds before me, or with the library who fail to check the quality of their items, but i think ill just blame it on the the dvds themselves. the newest technology? bah! i'll take my archaic vhs tapes any day.

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

Self- Dstruction

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
