MIMOSAS FOR ONE

oh boy, trey parker and matt stone totally did it this time ! whatever! those guys have soooooo done worse things...like the episode where mr. garrison gets a sex change, or lemiwinks, or christopher reeve eating the brains of aborted fetuses, or....EVERY EPISODE THEY'VE EVER DONE! i am soooooo pissed! i missed what will probably be the only showing of this episode. god damnit, dude!

i happened to notice that the old camera one theatre in downtown sj was taken over by anno domini , so i went to go check it out on my lunch hour friday. they had some really cool stuff. i absolutey loved this: but did not have the $200 to buy it. the artist's name is devon holzwarth. you can view and purchase some others here . aren't they great? this is the gallery space filled with all kinds of wonderful stuff. After mosey-ing around for awhile, i purchased this: the 2006 naked souls calendar, featuring this piece by yoly stroeve and this: my very first bukowski. i was initially drawn by the cover, but then i was overtaken by my fascination with what the big deal is with this guy. So far i have read two stories, and i find him both amusing and apalling. i'm not quite sure how i feel about him at this point i am however very taken with anno domini. if you live in san jose, check them out. i put my name on their email list, and i can't wait to someday purchase an ...

my good friend emily and her sister have got me thinking. if you spend money on rent for a place, why not spend money on a mortgage for your own house ? i realize that not everyone has the kind of money needed for a mortgage payment by themselves, so why not find a friend to buy with you? then when you turn around and sell the place, you split the profit. i know it's not as cut and dry as all that, but it sounds mighty appealing to me right now. my grandma made all of her money with real estate. i don't think it's such a bad idea to think about doing that myself.

this is corona. she is staying with me and my mom while my sister and her husband are on their honeymoon. i abosolutley love her because she is cute, cuddley, and has been extremely well trained. Also because she does things like this: which totally reminds me of molly shannon's sketch on snl where she played the licensed joyologist who screams, i love it, i love it, I LOVE IT! while kicking her leg in the air. I see this as a test run of sorts. we'll see how it goes ;)

i shit you not people. rob reiner is here for an event the ceo of my company is hosting. i believe it's politcally motivated, but you know me, if it doesn't happen in pop culture, i probably have no idea. i haven't been invited to meet him yet. i guess i'm not important enough. details at 11. update: so i met him. i told him what a big fan of "when harry met sally" i am and he thanked me and told me to go and see "rumor has it..." when it comes out. He seemed very tired and was probably bored to tears. poor guy. although not very exciting, i now have my "i've met insert name of famous person here ." story.

oh i am so sad. my little cellphone slipped out of my fingers and down into the toilet water tonight. i really liked my phone, but more disapointing is that i lost a whole shit ton of my friends numbers. gimme them again, won't you? i will get a new phone, and keep my number, but until then contact me via email, myspace, or at 408-259-4639 thanks!

1) okay i'm a poser. i've never been to tokyo, but someday i will. i fell in love with the images i saw in Lost In Translation , and i must see them someday for myself. 2) i took these mostly because i was bored, but also because i habor a secret fantasy of being a plus sized model. all those fabulous clothes, shoes and makeup you'd get, and all the exotic locations you'd get to visit. That would cure my fear of flying for sure. I must sound so full of myself, but oh well! i'm damn cute ;)

lately, i have become very fascinated with mae west. i know a few things about her, but i want to learn more. she is responsible for "why dontcha come up sometime and see me", one of the most famous catch phrases in movie history. She was both outrageous and tongue in cheek sexuality personified in the 1930s and 40s. She was not getting any good parts, so she wrote her own! i picked up her i'm no angel recording at my local library, and have been listening to it non-stop. I may even have a future halloween costume in the works...god bless mae west.

my maternal grandparents circa 1936 i just love this. when i get married ( which is still a long way off) i want my dress to be more like this than current trends in bridal fashion. If i see one more blushing bride in a tube top style wedding gown, i'm going to puke. I can't blame the brides entirely, however. Going with my sister to every bridal boutique in San Jose last year made me realize that tube dresses were practically all they had. it's just a preference, but that doesn't look classy if you sport over a b cup. i just admire how people dressed in the 30s, 40s, and early 50s. i think i must have lived a past life during that time.

i have never been the kind of girl who has to "put her face on" before she lets the world see her, but occasionally, i like to get done up real purdy like....hahahaha! bad joke. anyways, the big problem with most makeup is that close up, it looks totally gross and unatural. plus, you need to use heavy duty chemicals to get the crap off your face at the end of the night. bad news for your skin, especially if it's already sensitive like mine. after several failed attempts at finding makeup that would naturally enhance my features, i came across Benefit , a skincare and cosmetics company based in San Francisco. One day when i was shoppping in Macy*s i let the sales girl do my makeup for me. i told her that i favor a natural look, and she obliged. She then handed me a mirror, and when i checked the final result, i was pleasantly surprised to find my skin rosey and glowing. It was me, only better! needless to say, i made a hefty purchase that day with my new Macy*s card, and ...

as i was loading the washing machine with a few weeks worth of dirty laundry last night, i looked down to discover an old book of poetry that my father's parents had given me when i was very young. This then reminded me of one of my favorite poets of all time, Shel Silverstein. At one time, i owned copies of a light in the attic where the sidewalk ends and the giving tree I was especially attached to my copy of where the sidewalk ends , because it contained my favorite poem of all time, sick , that i memorized and would recite for whomever would listen. Sick by Shel Silverstein "I cannot go to school today," Said little Peggy Ann McKay. "I have the measles and the mumps, A gash, a rash and purple bumps. My mouth is wet, my throat is dry, I'm going blind in my right eye. My tonsils are as big as rocks, I've counted sixteen chicken pox And there's one more-that's seventeen, And don't you think my face looks green? My leg is cut, my eyes are blue,...
