scissor sisters 9/29

september has been a strange month for me filled with fresh starts, unexpected events, and tearful goodbyes. that being said, i could think of no better way end such a crazy month than with a crazy night out in san francisco to take in a concert by the glam-disco-dance band, new york's

    • at the warfield. first i must say that the warfield is an outstanding venue. a large theater that feels like a small club, it boasts classic decor and kick ass acoustics. you can feel the history when you walk through its doors. the atmosphere was dramatic and so were the people in attendance. as for the main attraction, they may just be the most fun band out there right now. for me, they are most easily described as the love child of early elton john and abba, with just a dash of the bee gees (mostly due to the strong falsetto of co-lead singer jake shears). they are funky, flamboyant, and altogether fabulous. i danced my ass off during the opening band (a fun killers-esque quintet called small sins ) plus their entire set and the encore, and i know it was just what i needed. many thanks to emily, my partner in crime, for yet another super fun night. i highly recommed that if you want to have fun and dance the night away, check out the scissor sisters when they come to your town.

    on a few unrelated notes:

    1) thursday nights are set for me. grey's anatomy continues to wow me, and now ugly betty has caught my attention as well. america ferrera is adorable as the awkward and nerdy, yet determined betty. vanessa williams is evil perfection (botox! eek!) and selma hayak's cameo's as the telenovella star are hilarious!

    2) school is going well. i experienced a moment of clarity about my goals, and i feel determined to accomplish any and all tasks thrown my way as i begin to join to KFJC family. ( for those of you in the bay, you can find them on the dial at 89.7 FM or on the web at KFJC.org....also the metro newspaper just named them best college radio station in the bay area for 2006. way to go, guys!)

    3) be on the lookout for a new set of duaflex shots in the coming week. i should be getting back my first set of black & white prints any day now.

    4) and last but not least, i want to send a BIG thank you out to all of you who sent me your thoughts and love over the past week. it has been a tough one, but all the support was very much appreciated. you guys are the best. muah!

    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

    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
