i feel naked without you


without a pair of glasses on my face i feel lost. like something is missing. it's as if i'm not quite myself. I have been wearing glasses since the second grade, and after a nearly 5 year hiatus from contact lenses, I finally got the proper eye exam using conacts requires, and ordered a couple of boxes. I mostly did it so that I could wear sunglasses on sunny days. I have been buying various pairs of sunglasses over the years in the hope that one day i would go back to contacts and be able to use them. eyewear for me is as much about fashion as it is function, so having just a pair or two won't do. At last count, I own at least 10 pairs of sunglasses and 5 pairs of fashion frames, along with my very stylish perscription glasses. a few days after getting the contacts and ordering new glasses, I couldn't help but model my way through my sunglass and fasion frame collection. people at work kept asking me if each pair were my new glasses (which hadn't yet come back from being made). my boss at the time jokingly quipped that only I would get contacts just so I could wear other frames for fashion. He was partly right. I got them so that I could wear my sunglasses, but I realized that not having glasses on my face made me look 1)tired, and 2)I constantly was tapping on the brige of my nose, pushing my non-existent frames back into place.

I am a glasses girl, always have been. always will be

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
