3 day weekend + the devil

Friday posed as the perfect start to Memorial's Weekend as I drank the past week away with a couple shots of 151, 7 crown, & Skyy Vodka. In general attributes, it's so great to be young & irresponsible :) A happy belated birthday to Josh Kun! ps. get hotter girls. 

Saturday was drama. Worse comes to worse, I've got your back Ash. There's not a single bitter fat bitch I won't fight with you. & when we both finally have our macs (I'm picking mine up by the end of this week!) we'll ichat about how we miss our boyfriends. :( btw. fun boys night at Danny's house. Plus with Jessica, Laura & I, which without us, Garrett would not have a chance in hell getting alcohol. 

Sunday hits & it's off to Six Flags Magic Mountain with my boyfriend Jon, & birthday girl Donavie. It was so amazingly packed that we didn't even have a chance to ride all the new attractions, like X2 (which broke down after every rotation), so to not let the day go to waste, I managed to get both Jon & Donavie on Devil's Dive ($45 for 3 people) with probably the most scariest 30 seconds of my life on the way up to 145 ft. with nothing to look down to but gravel -_-. It was so worth it though. I'd do it again in a heartbeat. After meeting up with Donavie's friends Kat & Steven, we watched Batman Stunt Show & headed out totally haggard from all the walking. I knew I shouldn't have worn boots. We soon headed up to North Hollywood & ate a perfectly deserved hot dinner at Sanamluang. We got yummy Tom Yun Goon, Shrimp Fried Rice & Spicy Pad Thai. Thanks Donavie for being our Mama for the day :)

"Is this a musical?" At home, my babe & I spent Memorial's day as a tribute to Johnny Depp as we watched Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street & Pirates of the Caribbean at World's End. Helena Bonham Carter & Johnny Depp are such beautiful gothic Burtonesque couple. In comparison to the play live (I saw it with my girls at the Ahmenson) it actually complimented each other. The movie stayed true to the soundtrack & the movie made me understand the play better. Bravo Tim Burton, you've paid an amazing tribute to classic horror films. 

"as unpredictable as the weather"

I never really took that saying seriously, until of course it went from warm, to gloomy, to raining, to raining belligerently, to thunder & then finally to windy, with scattered sunshine. Los Angeles has some crazy people in it, but the weather's acting up like it's Denise Richard's & Charlie Sheen's divorce issues. Frankly, I don't completely care if people are pro or con on the issues about global warming & green house effect, but someone, somewhere in a large scale is fucking up. No matter what it is the reason that it's snowing in San Gabriel, people need to stop looking the other way and start taking action to lower down the amount of green house gases each & everyone one of us is contributing to our own environment.

Here's a list of what you can do to lessen your green house gases & help prevent global warming from getting worse:

Change a light. Replacing a regular light bulb with a compact fluorescent one saves 150 pounds of carbon dioxide each year.*

Drive less. Walk, bike, carpool, take mass transit and/or trip chain. All of these things can help reduce gas consumption and one pound of carbon dioxide for each mile you do not drive.

Recycle more and buy recycled. Save up to 2,400 pounds of carbon dioxide each year just by recycling half of your household waste. By recycling and buying products with recycled content you also save energy, resources and landfill space!

Check your tires. Properly inflated tires mean good gas mileage. For each gallon of gas saved, 20 pounds of carbon dioxide are also not produced.

Use less hot water. It takes a lot of energy to heat water. Reducing the amount used means big savings in not only your energy bills, but also in carbon dioxide emissions. Using cold water for your wash saves 500 pounds of carbon dioxide a year, and using a low flow showerhead reduces 350 pounds of carbon dioxide. Make the most of your hot water by insulating your tank and keeping the temperature at or below 120 degrees.

Avoid products with a lot of packaging. Preventing waste from being created in the first place means that there is less energy wasted and fewer resources consumed. When you purchase products with the least amount of packaging, not only do you save money, but you also help the environment! Reducing your garbage by 10 percent reduces carbon dioxide emissions by 1,200 pounds.

Adjust your thermostat. Keeping your thermostat at 68 degrees in winter and 78 degrees in summer not only helps with your energy bills, but it can reduce carbon dioxide emissions as well. No matter where you set your dial, two degrees cooler in the winter or warmer in the summer can mean a reduction of 2,000 pounds of carbon dioxide a year.

Plant a tree. A single tree can absorb one ton of carbon dioxide over its lifetime.

Turn off electronic devices when not in use. Simply turning off your TV, VCR, computer and other electronic devices can save each household thousand of pounds of carbon dioxide each year.

Meat+Potatoes

Who knew that the hours of slaving away in yearbook and a.o.a.t. would make me the youngest intern for one of the most modern low-key design studios around? Hell yes, it is pretty damn amazing. Don't get me wrong, this isn't completely a glamorous job, but the people, including the big man are all pretty boss. Not to mention it's in a loft (so posh) complete with all my favorite fixtures, brick walls, high ceilings, big soft couches, & furnished with a couple thousand $$$ of apple computers and hardwares. It's the geek squad jack-pot.



I just got a napkin with Eva Longoria's lipstick kiss.
(never mind that I don't particularly like her, nor do I watch Desperate Housewives)
I fucking love my job.

So Indiana Jones comes out tonight & chances are, the lines are going to be about as long as the freak show for Star Wars. I shouldn't be the one to say anything, considering the fact that I just recently watched all three on SciFi the past weekend, but it is, I think, completely insane how they've turned this childhood hero into several series of Lego figurines. No one who grew up watching the real Indiana Jones should still be playing with the Legos coming out today. Yea, there could definitely be arguments to this like, "What if I raised my kids on old timer's heroes like Indiana Jones?" What I say to that is, the moment your child starts fraternizing with German Nazi spies & whipping everything to his liking, we know who to blame (:
