not in a bloggy mood

It’s the start of my much anticipated 4 day weekend — and so far, it’s been horrible.

Rob’s grandmother passed away — so he went home to Southern CA to be with his family. 🙁 I feel awful that I can’t be there with him. ::sigh:: But honestly, I don’t know what I would do if I was able to go home with him. I wouldn’t know what to say or what to do — I’d probably be more of a hassle than anything else. I just want him to be okay.

Anyway, I have to work at a Fourth of July festival tomorrow in San Jose — woo hoo. (That was supposed to be saracastic). It’s for the radio station I used to work at — I normally enjoy working at community events like this one but I have to work 2-11:30pm! That’s insanity. Not to mention that I have to act happy and enthusiastic the entire day. ::rolls eyes:: Plus, after last year’s event, I was left with a bad case of heat stroke. I was bedridden for a few days. Let’s hope that doesn’t happen again.

Oooh, I just got PhotoShop 7.0. 😀 Rob’s friend Jimmy (thanks again!) burned a copy onto a CD for us to install. It looks so confusing though! Well, at least I have the rest of my weekend to experiment with it.

yay for short weeks

Whee! Only 3 days of work this week. 🙂 Sooo happy about that.

Rob and I went to the local Old Navy today so he could get some boxers (heh) and I could look at shorts for our trip to Hawaii. It occurred to me that I don’t own a single pair of shorts. I think I have 2 pairs of gym shorts but that’s it. So yeah, I tried on a few but they were all super short! Grrr. I really don’t want half my ass hanging out. ::rolls eyes:: I will find a long-ish (but not too long!) pair if it kills me.

I also discovered John Mayer recently — I love his song No Such Thing. He has an amazing voice. ::swoons:: I must go get his CD. 🙂

dinner with an old friend

Posted on by

I just got back from having dinner with a friend I’ve known since we were like 3. We met cause our dads work for the same company — and still do. For like 25+ years, I think. Then we went to elementary school together. Yup, first through eighth grade. He knew me back when I wore huge eyeglasses and had braces. Oh, the horror. Anyway, it was really cool to see him and catch up (we both left sunny southern CA after high school– he went to NYU and I went to CAL) — we had a great time laughing at the memories of our younger selves. Ah, good times.

Hmm… plugging Amy cause she’s stalking me over here in CA. Just kidding — she’s on vacation and she’s like, seriously, 30 minutes away from me. 🙂

almost back to normal

So things are somewhat back to normal for me… Rob took out my primary hard drive which was causing all the problems and installed Windows onto my other hard drive. I still have to reinstall all my programs (which is such a pain!) but at least I have access to the files for my site and all the images that I’ve accumulated for fanart/website use. AND I was able to check my email! Woo-freaking-hoo! 😉 I have to plow through it though and who knows how long that’ll take. 😛

Gah!!! My guestbook *still* is not working. ::sigh:: Yet another thing to reinstall. Boo.

i feel fat

No more coke. No more sweets. No more junk food. I swear. Must exercise. I know I’ve been saying that — but now I have the motivation. I just tried on a cute skirt I bought about a year and a half ago and it barely fits! Grrr!

Anyway, I exercised my check card quite a bit earlier this evening — I went on a bit of a shopping spree. I bought 2 pairs of shoes at Nordstrom (hey, they were both on sale!), a belt at American Eagle and a cute tank at A&F. 🙂 I just got my paycheck today and it’s almost all gone, lol.

It’s been a looong time since I’ve answered The Friday Five — here goes:

Do you live in a house, an apartment or a condo? apartment
Do you rent or own? rent
Does anyone else live with you? yup, my boyfriend Rob and my cousin Warren — two boys! Guess who does most of the cleaning? 😉
How many times have you moved in your life? 4 times — I grew up in Southern CA and lived there until I moved away for college (I went to UC Berkeley in Northern CA). After enduring the dorms (and yucky co-ed bathrooms) for 2 years, I moved to an apartment close to campus with a couple of friends. Then after graduation, I subletted another apartment for a month while I was getting everything settled for my last move to the current apartment where I am now. Whew. I want to stay here for awhile (well, I have to cause I just signed a lease for a year a few months ago) cause last summer, I moved twice in the span of 2 months and it was a serious pain in the ass.
What are your plans for this weekend? Nothing really. Just want to clean the apartment, vacuum and maybe get Rob to watch Minority Report with me when he gets back home on Sunday (are you reading this? can we go please?)

Also: *Huge* thanks to Dirty Rob (:P) for sending The Black Hawk Down DVD! 🙂 You totally made my face light up — Ewan and Josh! You’re the best. Take care of yourself when you’re in Korea.

exercise bites

So I’ve finally decided to start exercising again — cause I figure if I’m going to Hawaii, then I might as well look cute. 😉 But geesh, after only like 20 minutes on the freaking exercise bike, I seriously thought I was going to pass out. I used to be so active and in shape while I was in high school and college — I’m such a lazy couch potato now. ::shakes head:: How depressing. I could barely even manage the short walk back to my apartment from the gym. I was seriously shaking from weakness.

Computer update — still broken. Rob’s still working on it — we bought more RAM today in hopes that that would do the trick but it didn’t. He thinks he’s going to have to reformat my hard drive. ::sigh:: This sucks. I hate not being able to use my own computer. All my stuff is on there! Waah! ::glares at computer::

i’m baaack

It’s so good to be back in the Bay. I love visiting my Dad and my family down in Southern CA but I don’t know what it is, I just don’t feel like it’s my “home” anymore. Sure, I grew up there and it’ll always be a part of me but I can’t relate to the culture or way of life — something. I can’t really put my finger on it but for the first time, it really truly felt like I was visiting and not returning home.

Anyway, I didn’t really do much of anything — just had meal after meal with my family and went shopping (of course!) with my Dad and my cousin. They’re like my official shopping buddies when I visit. I managed to get my Dad’s Father’s Day present while he wasn’t looking and also bought a few tank tops for my trip to Hawaii.

When I got back last night, I discovered that my computer still wasn’t working — the last time I blogged, which was Thursday night, my computer started running reeeeaaaally slowly. And this annoying little window kept popping up that says “Disk Error. Please insert disk… blah, blah.” Grr! I don’t know why it does that — and then when I try to cancel it, it just keeps going and going and going… like the damn Energizer Bunny. Humph. So Rob is looking into the problem for me — and I’ll be taking his computer hostage so I can still blog, update and make wp. 🙂

going home

I’m all giddy right now — I just saw The Strokes on Jay Leno! 😀 They sang Hard to Explain and they were awesome. Julian looked really nice and tan and his hair is doing a cool flip thing — Cat, you would have been so happy. 😉 I also saw Sarah Michelle Gellar on Conan O’Brien. She’s so gorgeous — she had a really radiant and glowing look to her. She just looked so happy, it was great to see her smiling. But I’m not too sure about Scooby Doo — I really can’t stand the sight of Freddie Prinze, Jr. with blonde hair. It seriously freaks me out.

Anyway, this is my last blog until Monday night probably. I’m going home to Southern California to visit my Dad for Father’s Day — fun! 🙂 And I don’t even want to attempt to use my dad’s computer cause it is the slowest thing in the universe. I would probably get fed up and kick it to high heaven or something. AND he has dial-up — I’ve been so spoiled with DSL that I am so impatient when it comes to surfing the net nowadays. So yeah. Hope everyone has a lovely weekend. 😀

scorching over here

Ugh, it’s so disgustingly HOT over here. My apartment is all stuffy and the air just *sits* — there’s no wind whatsoever. Bah. Go away stupid sun!

Anyway, Rob’s back! Yay for me. 😛 I know I must sound like ever the codependent girlfriend but I really miss him when he’s not around. Awww. 😉

slow saturday

Wow, what a slow Saturday — it just felt like it was going on and on and on… geesh.

Let’s see, I woke up this morning (or *cough*this afternoon*cough*) and I was immediately bored. So I dragged my lazy self over to Borders, which is across the street — cause I really wanted to buy The Strokes CD. I’ve been listening to Last Nite non-stop for the past week. Can you say addicted? hee. I found out that they’re going to be performing at the KROQ Weenie Roast in LA next weekend — the very same weekend that I’m going home to Southern CA to visit my dad for Father’s Day. Just knowing that I’ll be close to them makes me happy. 😛 Anyway, the entire CD is great — I especially love Hard To Explain, Someday, When It Started and SOMA. whee!

Hmmm… I also caught the MTV Movie Awards again. It wasn’t all that great — I liked last year’s awards much better, but maybe I’m biased cause I adore Jimmy Fallon. 😉 My favorite parts were the Spiderman and LOTR parodies, when Freddie gets jealous of Jack Black and SMG, and Ewan (::swoons::) and Natalie presenting Nicole with the Best Female Performance award. I now have the biggest crush on Ewan. 😛
