FREEDOM!

I GOT OUT OF JURY DUTY!

HA-HA!

DEVILS.

I mean.... CHILDREN.

Remind me in the future (hopefully not anytime near) if I ever intend to have kids to remember the Music and Arts Festival. I think after that, I will seriously reconsider.

So they're cute and all, but only for about the first 15 minutes or from far FAR away.

Some have attitude. Some scream really loud. Some are divas. Some don't talk. Some crawl around on the ground. Some are annoying. Some are attention whores. Some ask too many questions. Some think they're the shit. Some are smart asses. Some fight with each other 24/7. Some are just plain mean.

I don't remember being like this when I was a kid!

RAWR. I think I just have no patience when it comes to kids -_-

PMS much, weather?

today it....

rained. hailed. shined. poured. (in that order)

talk about weird weather.

Waiting.

So it's like 3am, and I'm waiting for my hair to dry.

After a few hours of dancing at DaTonka's place for the DCON talent show, I really didn't wana go to bed all sweaty and gross :( So i decided to take a shower.... at 3am. and here I am... waiting for it to dry (which takes about 2 hours to FULLY dry... but FUCK THAT. I'm just gona wait 'til it's pretty dry and SLEEP.) and since JEFF LANUZA claims that I don't blog enough, I might as well do it now while I wait.

1. War, Inc.

The most ridiculous satire of a movie I have ever seen. It makes me cringe, laugh, and cry hysterically all at the same time. There's this scene with Hilary Duff (yes, she's in it. and no, she's so NOT a kid anymore, especially not in this movie), who plays a central Asian pop star named Yonica. She sings this song called "Blow You Up." I watched it while Jennie was in the room and she couldn't stop singing it after that. Then Joe hopped on the vocal train and now he won't stop singing it either. I'd like to introduce this madness. Please observe:



omfg. I'm gona shit myself. but I love how Joan Cusack is dancing to the song. HAHA.

2. Akira

I watched this movie in my Film 108 (Asian Horror Film) class and it totally blew me away. I think I'm starting to kinda get into anime movies. They can definitely delve into crazy science fiction and fantasy stuff that live action films aren't able to. And of course, the animation is amazing. The images have so many layers and the some scenes are just so... grotesque. It's awesome.

(this is the English version but oh well...)



3. The Double Helix

I really need to read this effing book. DAMNIT.

I'm such a nerd.

So we watched this video in my bio class about a week ago, and I think it's like the coolest thing in the world.



HEY... no judgments.

Listen.

As I walked home from the Movement meeting, I not saw, not smelled, not felt.

I heard.

The laughing of someone in front of Dwinelle.
The rushing stream water to my left.
The scrape of skateboard wheels on the pavement.
The loud drumming of taiko.
The clack of their drumsticks.
The car door closing in the parking lot.
The scuffle of shoes on the bricks.
The creaking of the door to MLK.
The steps of feet on the stairs.
The steady ticks of the spokes on a bike.
The whoosh of the wind as he passes.
The indistinct murmur of those walking by.
The click of a woman's heels.
The rev of a distant motorcycle.
The zip of a backpack.
The crackling gravel beneath the car tires.
The drone of an older car.
The smooth hum of a sleek, new one.
The yelling of a man on the corner.
The jangle of dangling keys.
The bark of a dog tied to a pole.
The chatter of customers at Chipotle.
The buzz of the glowing neon lights.
The distant drumming continues.
The DINGs of the ATM machine.
The jingle of change in a cup.
The song of a bum at Asian Ghetto.

My front door slammed shut as I entered.

And all of it disappeared.

Cravings.

I love lemon bars.

I don't know what happened. It started on a bright Monday afternoon. We just finished closing the table and I was having my typical date with Tiffany (plus 3 other people -_-). I had already polished off a quesadilla and a cup of horchata but.... I wanted more.

So I went and bought a little piece of a random thing, wrapped in cellophane and not particularly attractive at all. It was insanely expensive for being so little, but I felt like buying it.

And now I'm addicted.

I want to eat lemon bars for the rest of my life.
