baby, it's cold outside

christmas in the park
some friends and i braved the cold (it was like, 50 degrees out. for california, that's cold)on friday night to walk around christmas in the park in downtown san jose. basically, everyone and their grandmother decorates a tree and they have all these cheesy, slightly creepy, outdated, anamatronic displays, not to mention overpriced food and novelty items. However, it's a san jose tradition. it's the same thing every year, but we keep going.

a friend of mine gifted me with the new amy sedaris book,
  • i like you: hospitality under the influence
    • . It's a guide the thowing dinner parties that i can't wait to start reading :)

    i finally finished the complete series of
  • six feet under
    • , and i am still in awe. that show has deeply affected the way i view death, and this year, i needed that. the characters and storylines drew me in completely, and the last few episodes(especially the last 10 minutes of the finale) had me sobbing.

    considering it's so cold, and because i am without homework due to my hiatus from classes ( with 2 out of 4 grades posted, i am at a 4.0 GPA!), tonight is the perfect opportunity to curl up with a blanket to watch the breakup with jennifer aniston and vince vaughn. i've always had a crush on vince ever since swingers. what can i say? i have a thing for smart asses.

    OMG, I'm not even through the first season of Six Feet Under and I am already feeling severely fucked up. Not necessarily in a bad way, but not necessarily in a good way either. I think the show is meant to be watched one hour a week, not for hours at a time for days on end.

    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
