R.I.P. Marukai 98 cents store...I will miss the individual sushi containers, Pocky, Hello Kitty, Pooh cell phone charms, and cleaning supplies with smiley faces on them...thank goodness the Marukai market is still in Costa Mesa and the Ebisu center is still here!

I forgot to mention

A week ago (couple weeks ago? I lose track of time) I saw Jamie Lidell perform at the El Rey in LA. He is fabulous, and since I was right up against the stage, he gave me the microphone (I freaked out ha ha) and then I touched him! Here is a video of him performing if you haven't heard of him. He sings that song from the commercial "a little bit more, a little bit more" but has some other really amazing songs. Jamie, you have a voice like butter:

New Weezer album on June 3rd? I don't know how I feel about Weezer anymore. I was obsessed with them from 6th-9th grades, had all their B-sides and bootlegs, etc. Now, I dunno. After "Make Believe"...not sure what to think. Saw the music video for "Pork and Beans" and it seems too gimmicky. Of course I'm still gonna get the Red Album though! It's Weezer!!

So I got my first sunburn of the summer on Memorial Day. Not good. But...it was the most gorgeous day, one of the prettiest beaches I've been to in Orange County.

P.S. I love the 'cuzzi.

Yep

I wish things were different; things are hard for me to forget. The disappointment that I feel about many people and things is too immense and saddening at times.

I seriously am amazed right now. KIDS INCORPORATED!!!! I watched this show religiously when I was little...then my parents refused to pay for the Disney channel and I couldn't watch anymore, very traumatizing. Holy crap though I just YouTubed a bunch of episodes, the theme song is the best though. I seriously remember this...I must have been maybe 4 or 5. Note Fergie...she was my favorite too! Although I knew her as "Stacy"..lololol

Nostalgia to the max:

Loved it, had to post

Today my religion professor explained the Brahman/Atman relationship in Hinduism perfectly:

"Imagine we are all like holiday cookies...all different shapes and decorations. However, we are all made out of the same cookie dough."

I loved the way she explained this. She is so cool, this really sharply dressed white lady who's fluent in Hindi, knows Rajasthani, and has spent years living with different families studying Hinduism in Rajasthan. She writes in books and is the head of these religion conferences where all these religious leaders meet from around the world. My favorite class this semester, hands down.

I have always loved this song. It is so inspiring and positive, not to mention groovy. I listen to it before starting my day. Download it and enjoy if you don't have it already! (Kayne sampled it...but the original is sooo much better)

"Move on Up" by Curtis Mayfield

Hush now child,
and don't you cry
Your folks might understand you
by and by
Move on up
towards your destination
You may find
from time to time
Complications

Bight your lip
and take a trip
Though there may be
wet road ahead
You cannot slip
So move on up
and peace you will find
Into the steeple
of beautiful people
Where there's only one kind

So hush now child
and don't you cry
Your folks might understand you
by and by
Just move on up
and keep on wishing
Remember your dreams
are your only schemes
So keep on pushing
Take nothing less -
not even second best
And do not obey -
you must have your say
You can past the test

?@$@???

So I'm not taking French anymore, what was I thinking?! Too ambitious. I filled it with a different class and I'm hoping it will be better. Honestly, taking a French class right before my Spanish convo class would have been way too confusing.

I got some recipes (rice pudding, tres leches cake) from my aunt and I'm excited. She catered for a really long time (even during WWII) and can whip up anything and it will be the tastiest thing you will ever eat. I really admire her. I wish I could just whip up food like that with such ease. It would really come in handy. Forget Rachel Ray or whoever. SHE is my favorite cook.

I'm going to complain but I'm really annoyed at my brother. He didn't come home last night and his freaking alarm went off at 7 this morning...

It's cold and windy outside, and my mom and I rented a movie to watch...classes start tomorrow, after a lovely 6 week break...bye

Ah I love Rami even more now he was reppin' the Quiksilver shirt in tonight's episode! I feel silly for writing about this right now but I got so excited I had to write it somewhere!

Damn I'm groovin right now...thanks to Indie 103.1 (Jonesey's Jukebox in particular) for introducing me to one of the grooviest bands, besides Jamiroquai, of course.

Well today I went to Ho Sum for lunch then major Target shopping, so tomorrow the job hunt will have to continue...

I really wish I wasn't sick. Not seeing the outside world really dampens my spirit. I miss my friends, a lot of them are already going back to school and I've maybe seen them like once because I've been sick. Missed New Years and other events, which was probably the thing that has gotten me the saddest. Nobody likes to feel like they've missed out on things. All I do all day is get up, lie in bed, watch TV, sleep, and drink Sprite and water, and also go on my computer. Getting people to cover my shifts at work really sucks ass, I hate it so much. I know there's nothing I can do and "I shouldn't feel sorry for myself" but it's just so depressing, not to mention painful. Each cough hurts so bad. Doc said it lasts at least 3 weeks, if not more. This was supposed to be my time off to enjoy myself...and there's been little to no enjoyment so far :( It's just really frustrating to me. I can sense myself getting better but I just have to keep resting or else it will flare up again.

On the bright side...I've watched the entire 9 seasons of America's Next Top Model. No lie. Tyra's nuts.

Also...so weird...there was a very slim possibility of me going up to Sac next month...which of course didn't work out but I thought it was very odd. It's funny how people are.

Well, off to use my inhaler...I've never had one so it vaguely excites me to use it :)

Techology these days

I like my new mattress pad for my bed :)
I don't like the annoying people iChatting while sitting at the same table next to me at the coffeehouse
I like running, it makes me feel refreshed and clear-headed
I don't like feeling sick and dry weather
I like seeing friends like I did this weekend :)
I don't like being hungover and seeing texts I sent people the previous night :(
I like the people at my work
I don't like work and they keep scheduling me ridiculous shifts

Currently I have a huge to-do list, mostly involving shit I have to get done for my study abroad application. It's like applying to college all over again.

Last weekend was fun, I got to see many people, it was so nice. I also ate a cricket.

I miss certain people :(

Gotta go get stuff done!
