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
  • scissor sisters
    • 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!

    moving day

    as of 5:30 this evening, i will officially be a resident of willow glen i'm droping off the first rent check, picking up the key, and hauling the first of my belongings up to the apartment. My new roomie is a good friend, and I know we are going to have awesome time. Although I wasn't as prepared as I would have liked, and it will be a few weeks before I'm truly settled, I still couldn't be more excited. In the midst of all this moving chaos, I will be taking a short road trip to The Oregon Shakespeare Festival , to check out Othello and Our Town this weekend. I so need this little excursion. It's going to be a nice break, and a chance to catch up with some old friends.

    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...

    self-portrait tuesday: funny face

    Image
    it's self-portrait tuesday santa cruz beach boardwalk. february 11th, 2006 i haven't done this in awhile, but i thought the photo booth picture was worth a submission. i looooooooove photo booths. i love it when you try to jam 10 people into 1 small booth. i love it when unexpected moments happen between shots and they get captured. i love the linear design. i love the fact that you have 4 chances to get it right. basically i'm obsessed with photobooths. i'm totally going to get one for my "mtv cribs" house. ps. just note to all of my friends: if you come visit me, one of the stops on our tour will most definitely be the santa cruz beach boardwalk. their arcade has like, 20 photobooths, not to mention the best roller coaster in the world.
