one more thing
rock on, big girl. love beth ditto.
and
fafi, the amazing french graffiti artist has teamed up with le sport sac to create the above bag. how much do i want it? so much! but, when i calculated price+shipping+tax i thought again. ahhh!
hello muda...hello fodda
hello!
yesterday after a hellish morning of school/work i drove over to my grandparents house to have dinner. i sat in the living room and updated my grandparents on my life, the weekend, anything really. they told me stories that i could never get tired of hearing. stories about new york, old jewish customs, family etc.
we then had a dinner. left overs from when my grandma hosted a big dinner party for the family. chicken, corn, salad, and carrot souffle. by the way, carrot souffle is the best thing in the entire world. it was so delicious. and of course i ate my corn on the cob with the little corn dish/holders my grandma has had since i was tiny.
after dinner my grandma and i watched housee hunters (a tradition for the two of us) and then we watched Tevye the Milkman. Its an old yiddish movie I found at Vidiots and I thought my grandparents would enjoy it. It was actually pretty good and most of the enjoyment came from seeing how much my grandma enjoyed/identified with it.
My great-grandparents immigrated to NYC from Russia in 1926. My great-grandfather came first illegally through Canada. He worked as a dress maker until he could afford to bring my great-grandmother, grandmother, and three great uncles(who I never met). When my grandma came to the US it was in the steerage part of the ship. I guess my great-grandfather had saved enough to buy them all first class tickets, but bc they were coming illegally, the people who brought them over stole from them and they ended up in steerage. I could not imagine.
Anyway, my great-grandparents were orthodox jews who spoke yiddish and came from the old country. I never completly realized how important those ideals, which seem so antiquated, mean to my grandma. The story is about Tevye, a milkman, whose youngest daughter marries a gentile man. The family is destroyed by it and considers her dead. Take away all the melodramatic stuff and I began to understand why it was so important back then for Jews in Russia to stick with Jews. Towards the end of the film Tevye is asked to leave the countryside he has called home all his life, because he is jewish. This is set before WW2 and even before Hitler took over, so not only do you see how much people hated jews, but how they really are the wondering people. I dont know where this is going...but i understand why religion was so important and keeping their idenity. I realize how a sense of place is crucial to people. I consider san diego my sense of place, my moms house, my dads, my grandparents etc. To not have that would be odd, and what do you hold onto? Thats all these people had and I dont understand it as well as my grandmother does because she came from a time when her family was forced to leave because of who they were.
i probably make no sense. im not a zionist or anything, this isnt some pro-israel pro-judism or what have you kinda rant. for my great-grandparents, grandparents and those before them judism and the jewish community was a sense of belonging and place. they were the wondering people and they needed some foundation. Okay, no more im just ranting about this. but thats what the blog is for.
the night was great. i love my grandmother so much. she has always been such an amazing woman, such strength and love. i cant imagine life without her. id believe in heaven just to know i wont be without her forever.

Oh man!
Disneyland was amazing. We had so so so much fun. Had our romantic anniversary dinner at the restaurant thats at the beginning of the priates of the caribbean ride. It was so expensive and so not that good. I think the best part was laughing about how silly the entire thing was with Justin.
We rode all the rides, I almost shit myself on Space Mountain. I was laughing and screaming so much! I will post photos later.
The rest of the weekend was just so nice. We had Korean BBQ and went shopping on Saturday. So soo sooo much fun. If you havent done Korean BBQ than you really should! Later on that evening I went out with Lisa and Guilliana. Hit up some gay bars in west hollywood. danced and drank fancy cocktails. It was awesome. A good ladies night.
As fun as the weekend was, I have neglected the homework I needed to do. How does this happen? I am so tired and nervous. Nobody to blame but myself. I need to kick this procrastination bug!
Okay, I am going to get coffee and do homework. Blargh.

To laugh often and much;
To win the respect of intelligent people
and the affection of children;
To earn the appreciation of honest critics
and endure the betrayal of false friends;
To appreciate beauty;
To find the best in others;
To leave the world a bit better, whether by
a healthy child, a garden patch
or a redeemed social condition;
To know even one life has breathed
easier because you have lived;
This is to have succeeded.
~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
i am feeling sappy, okay?
A co-worker, pretty healthy guy, had a heartattack this weekend. He has been on life support. I dont know him as well as my bosses, but it still affects me. Life is so precious, it really is. He is in my thoughts, I hope he recovers quickly and well.
Disneyland! Thursday! I am so in love!

a studio is not a proper place to entertain over night guests. no matter how hard you try. believe me.
justin and i had a lovely lunch at mr. cecils ribs followed by an even nicer nap time. he is at work now and i am clearly putting off my biggest responisbility this weekend: finishing my paper.
it was nice to have jenn and jackie stay with us for the day, but it really threw me off my scholastic schedule for this weekend. now i am pushing off a possible panick attack at the thought of just how much work I must do between now and 5pm tomorrow.
cold is almost gone. no drinking until it is.

Mbote!
Thats how you say hello in Lingala. Lingala is a Bantu language spoken throughout the northwestern part of the Democratic Republic of the Congo (Congo-Kinshasa) and a large part of the Republic of the Congo (Congo-Brazzaville), as well as to some degree in Angola and the Central African Republic. It has over 10 million speakers.
I have decided I have to move back to Mexico. My spanish is sliping and everytime I think of life from 0-6 years I get nostalgic because I was around the things I now appreciate so much. I miss my abuelita, and wish I could have spent more time with her. Maybe this all stems to my concern with my dad. He isnt doing so well, and he has me worried sick. Everytime I call and he doesnt answer I automatically assume he is slumped over in his bathroom dead. Its horrible.
Anyway, I want to reconnect with a part of me that I know is always there...but its just harder to find it these days.
Dukakis project was pretty productive today. Spent a few hours walking the streets of North Westwood. I must have taken hundreds of photos of illegally parked cars, sidewalks, roads, parking structures and street sweepers. I left all the counting to my team mates! Anyway, lunch with Justin this afternoon and then some sleep. I feel my cold coming back.

Feeling so much better today! Still cant breathe out of my nose, but I am coughing up a bit and my snot is much thicker and less frequent which is all very good.
Even though I know I could easily go down to San Diego, I wont do it. Feeling fine now doesnt not mean I am feeling 100% better. Besides, better to be competly cured for the up coming weekend than semi for this weekend. repition.
Justin and I are celebrating our 2 year anniversary! How exciting! 2 years of an amazing thing and it only keeps getting better. There are so many little and big things that I love about him, us together that I can never really articulate. I am just happy. No big thing about it, and that is something that isnt very easy. I know whatever we do, we will have each other and no matter how annoyed we get, we always end the day laughing and getting over whatever it was.
Oooo! We are going to DISNEYLAND! I am completly thrilled, Justin isnt so much. We will have a good time, I promise you!
Back to work

Bangawoyo!
Thats how you say hello in Korean. Thats the nice thing about Flickr, everytime you sign in you learn a new way to say hello in a different language! Amazing.
I am in my feminist theory class. We had to do some group project this morning which irritated me. One of the girls in my group was getting way to into semantics and I wanted to slap her. Then, when it actually came time to presenting, they dump it on me. Psh, she couldnt keep her mouth shut the entire time we were working in a group and now she suddenly cant talk. Bullshit.
My cough is pretty annoying as well. I almost didn't go to school today, but I decided it was probably best that I do. I have to go to work, finish my section for the UP 120 and finally get to that research paper. This quarter is just not doing it for me.
Cant wait to have grilled cheese and soup with my french fry
:0)

Wow
So after 3-4 years I have decided to cancel my myspace account. I was sick of spending hours glued to the screen checking myspace constantly to see if I had any new comments/messages. I dont think lurking peoples pages is very healthy either. Nor is starting a sentence with "I was on myspace the other day..." I havent been keeping in touch with people the way I had hoped I would months before when I first decided to delete my account. I was sick of "top 8" sensitivity, reading into comments too much, myspace trackers the whole lot.
Time to start living, not being obsessed about some web page that is largely a creation of petty high school drama.
Over it.

this weekend was pretty fun. on friday justin, ramon, marbrisa and i went to sushi deli. we didnt have to wait very long at all. i had two large crazy milks which pretty much set me up to get pretty trashed. one beer later and a few joints and i was feeling more than fine. i still have to post the last 2 weekends up on flickr. anyway, hung out at maries house and really got comfy on her porch. its such a sweet little house. very happy for her, colin and katie.
the next day i didnt feel so great. now when i drink i am pretty much out of commision until the day after. a sign of age? doubt it. more like i actually do something besides party these days and i am overall more tired than a few years ago. that doesnt make much sense.
faith, justin and i went to farmers market and chicano park. went to some art gallery where i purchased loteria cards with illustrations done by posada. pretty awesome. went to a panaderia and bought some goodies (which i left in faiths car) and then headed to bustos and sarahs house for a bbq. when we got there bustos was drunk and there was no food. i wasnt feeling so well, so that kinda just irritated me more than it would have if i had been feeling great. anyway, faith and i left, i came home and chilled. dad and i went to a cinco de mayo party in the building. gross mexican food and old rich white people. oh, and free beer. i only had one and a half. i didnt even want any, i just felt like drinking because there wasnt much else to do. some people thought i was my dads girlfriend. gross. we left and hung out at home for a bit. thought i would go out but i didnt. i passed out at midnight instead.
the next day i woke up way to early and went to my moms house. my mom, max and i saw spider man 3. my mom liked it and my brother and i liked making fun of it. we went to fudruckers afterwards and i caught up with my mom and brother over some burgers and steak cut fries. afterwards i went back to my moms house and she showed me these awesome photographs from cuba she bought plus this great dia de los muertos pin she got me (she has a matching one on her bike)
drove back home to la and felt like crap. so tired and sleepy. came home and worked on a paper. took a midterm today and i doubt i did as best as i could. procrastination. i hate when you get a midterm and you realize you didnt have to read 95% of the shit you did, but it just so happens that the 95% you did read wasnt even on the fucking test. I hate school sometimes.
So torn about what to do after college, before grad school, blah blah blah. There is always this pressure from inside myself to be wild and crazy and move far away and be insane. Truth is I love my parents and grandparents and I hate being away from them for too long. I can finally appreciate what I have, i guess and having recently obsessed over life and death I dont want to miss any minute away from them. I just dont know what to do. Honestly I think I'm depressed. This is too long of a blog entry. At the moment all I can think about is feminist discourse and updating my flickr.

Today has been great! I went to school and made up a spread sheet for Don Spring. That man is such a creep, but oe of our biggest customers so he needs special care. Anyway, made him his spread sheet and hauled ass to my feminist theory class. It was a pretty interesting discussion today and I actually enjoyed the group presentations. I got my paper back on Cixous and got an A which is always exciting. Left class and went to work again to finish up some odds and ends. Did that and met up with Justin on his lunch break. We went to some italian place on Santa Monica and ate some delicious sandwiches and salad.
We spoke about moving to Barcelona in January of 2008. I know, I always go back and forth, but Barcelona is something we have talked about for the past year and half and this time Justin actually looked interested. Hah! He is the more practical one, whereas I am the more flighty head in the clouds one. I hope we make some sort of big move. I wouldnt mind living in LA or even moving back to SD, but I want to do something with my youth that doesnt make sense and is exciting.
Anyway, after lunch we dropped the rent check off and I dropped Justin off at work. Drove to the tire place up the street to get my back right tire patched up. Justin discovered a screw in my tire monday morning! Just last week after my front right tire blew out on the 101 North (no shoulder, lots of traffic) I got all new tires and a week later one gets a screw stuck in it! Just my luck. Actually, it isnt that bad. Dropped the car off and walked to the 99 cent store where I bought some new ice trays, plastic bags, candles and 6 of these awesome rose drinking glasses.
Walked home with the goods and opened up all the windows to air our shit out. It gets so stuffy in our apartment. Interesting fact, our apartment (well, more like attached cottages) were built in the 1940's to house the air force troops during the war. It makes perfect sense since we live close the the Santa Monica airport. Anyway, back to my day...
Walked to the record store down the street and picked up some Beegees cd's for Aldren. I have no idea why he wants those cd's but he is so sweet to my grandparents I wont even question it. Picked up some records as well and spoke to the owner about possibly going in and seeing his stash in the back. Such a bummer that this place is closing. I guess the owner just had enough of retail and decided to close up shop. First the awesome vintage store and now the record shop. All we have is trader joes now. Hah!
Walked to the atm to get some cash and almost walked away without my atm card. Got change at Trader Joes to do laundry and when I arrived home and put everything away someone yanked the laundry machine. Great. Time to clean and take a shower. As you can see, nothing really exciting happened today, but it was just a good day all around. It is so beautiful outside today I just couldnt spend it at work all day.
Going to San Diego this weekend, midterms next week, I cant wait for summer.

Walked to the record store down the street and picked up some Beegees cd's for Aldren. I have no idea why he wants those cd's but he is so sweet to my grandparents I wont even question it. Picked up some records as well and spoke to the owner about possibly going in and seeing his stash in the back. Such a bummer that this place is closing. I guess the owner just had enough of retail and decided to close up shop. First the awesome vintage store and now the record shop. All we have is trader joes now. Hah!
Walked to the atm to get some cash and almost walked away without my atm card. Got change at Trader Joes to do laundry and when I arrived home and put everything away someone yanked the laundry machine. Great. Time to clean and take a shower. As you can see, nothing really exciting happened today, but it was just a good day all around. It is so beautiful outside today I just couldnt spend it at work all day.
Going to San Diego this weekend, midterms next week, I cant wait for summer.

ska ska ska
Selda...man those songs have been stuck in my head all day. That was the most intense thing I have heard in awhile. A record that I obsess about until I have it (because I HAVE TO HAVE IT) and then I just listen to over and over again.
So many things to do for school, and then so many job applications for a job, and then so many grad school applications.
I just want Justin and I to get away and do something fun for the both of us.
