ahhhh! first concert evah!!

June 29, 2009

just came back from my first concert experience ever!! i had to learn that the trick to finding the ticket window is that it’s a hole in the wall, you hand a silly little triple-dollar sign to a person who then stamps one of your wrists.

carney, the pretty reckless, and the veronicas were all amazing, so the whole experience was quite satisfactory. and to think — i was considering not going. got home at 12:00 am exactly.

the girls were as impeccable and charming as always. lisa was describing how one of the upcoming songs was very personal, and threw in the word ‘douchebag’ (“i’m down with you americans”) to describe her ex. lisa: “is anybody in love with jess??” many responses. jess: “is anybody hoping to find love on the street tonight?” jess leaned all over george the guitarist for a bit, so that was funny. the equipment guy was cute; he was like, “we’re from australia” in what i think was a faked australian accent.

carney was also really funny. leader singer apologized for having starbucks today. the drummer bounced away two of his drumsticks, then jumped offstage (it was a really small stage) to bang on some crates and went back up again. and they sprayed silly putty on the pretty reckless after their last song.

also marched in the gay pride parade today, handing out beads on behalf of the methodist congregational church. i know, i felt like a hypocrite. but as long as it’s a benevolent organization, i’m cool with that.

tired. school tomorrow! yagh!

woman blocks ahmadinejad. what’s the bet they threw her in jail? reminiscent of the tiananmen square photo.

fox news likes to pretend that unfaithful republicans are actually democrats.

everyone is RIPping about how michael jackson died. what about the kid who was beaten to death by his father???

went through the first disk of the audiobook of ‘doppelganger’ by michael parker. yay. what a pleasant surprise to hear it narrated in an australian accent.

hey, i’m watching my fingers type on the mirrored reflection in the window!

i like my ME CAD class. computer-aided design is so cool.

blah

the more i write my personal statement, the worse it gets. i swear. it feels self-defeating.

exercising is depressing. it just is. my fucking right foot/leg. it’s a good thing my left leg knows what it’s doing.

vegan wraps!

June 19, 2009

i made some awesome little vegan wraps. guacamole, hummus, spinach, cucumbers, carrots, baby corn, rice cheese, and tofurkey. yes, rice cheese and tofurkey. i’ve been looking for rice cheese ever since i saw them in ‘jess’s vegan tacos’ video. it’s not as weird-sounding as hemp juice ice cream (i wonder what that tastes like). tomorrow: add tomatoes and avocados.

i think the fact that i learned how to wrap the burrito properly is my crowning achievement.

maybe some pictures next time.

embrace the slacker!

June 16, 2009

such mediocre grades this quarter. didn’t even do that well in 220, since i apparently bombed the final. x_x there goes my deans list streak. eh. actually, i did well enough, everything considered:

3-4 weeks spent watching ‘the l word’….

most relaxing term i’ve ever had….

(discounting finals week, which had little of everything — drama, nausea, ineffectual cramming, and lack of sleep)

overall contentedness…

if happiness was the price, then it was well worth it.

embrace the slacker!

radio 1 bbc acoustic version of ‘poker face’. surprisingly (not that i know much about her), lady gaga is actually quite talented. jazz piano — nice!
