break entertainment

movies

devil wears prada: cute but not as good as ugly betty

talledega nights: not as funny as i thought it could be,

snakes on a plane: hahaha my best part was when the snake attacked the boob

night at the museum: cute, not that funny either, more action

mr. fix it: it’s angel, but just like hitch, how can they make movies with the same story as something that’s already come out

aviator: wasn’t interested, didn’t really watch it

feast: second time seeing it, wasn’t as funny

just my luck: teeny bopper entertainment

the notebook: watched it twice back to back, cried just as much the second time

inconvienent truth: what’s with the flashes of gore losing the election and of his childhood, focus man, focus

my super ex-girlfriend: really funny, recommended

the producers: oops, i fell asleep, look cute and funny though, need to see it again

accepted: alright, unrealistic

see this movie: strange but funny, damn that bi guy got so much action

books

shanghai baby: thu lied, there was some sex but she promised me so much more

guilty mind: of course jamie did it, duh, jealous boyfriend

discomfort zone: good overall, went on tangents though, favorite part – “what are you doing with that ladder” “it’s ben’s ladder dad” “i asked you what you were doing with the ladder” “i told you it’s ben’s ladder” “i know, what are you doing with it” “dad, how many times do i have to tell you, it’s ben’s ladder!!”

i’ll take my boat steamed

the snow wasn’t that bad so i got to go to steamboat, yay!! it’s so pretty there, the houses make it look like those christmas scenes that people get model figures of 

this is my sister hamen, the cowboy boots on the left were selling for 2g’s, damn!!

this was us at dinner, we went to cucino’s because hamen said the last time she went it was amazing, i got the godfather with clams, mussels, shrimp, calamari, in a pesto sauce, it was ok, not amazing though

 there were a lot of these gas stations hanging around, the g went out on this sign, tee hee

darn it, you snow

so i guess i can’t go to steamboat anymore because of the snow that’s going to be coming this week, the avalanche got the parents worried about mountain driving i think, i already couldn’t see lotus because of the snow, which i’m very sad about, and now i can’t go have some fun either, =(

wore my new shirt today, aeropostal clothes are 70% off, got a bunch of new underwear there too, and i got a new book, the interpretation of murder by rubenfeld i think, supposed to be good, we’ll see, it was in the suspense and thriller section, hopefully not too scary, i think i have a shopping problem, it doesn’t matter where i am or what it is i’ll always buy something when i’m out, it could be a crappy screwdriver or something i’ll never even use, i just get this impulse inside of me that says, oh come on you deserve this, you don’t have anything like it or at least in this color, it will make you so happy to get it, and it always does, material possessions can make me so happy

i signed up for blockbuster free trial last night, lasts for two weeks, got my free in store rental today, it’s really expensive now to do the movie pass, 2 movies for 27.99 it used to be around 15, the mail in stuff with 3 movies is 17.99, it’s too much i think, i’ll cancel after the free trial

as old as it gets

i worked today and this old man came in, said he was the brother of the lady that works at the mattress king, some stores down, he talked to me for a while, he was so cute, told me how he fell asleep on a tempedic mattress after only a couple minutes instead of the half hour it normally takes him.  he’s from minnesota and he says his sister’s son married a woman from hong kong.  i tihnk i really like talking to old people, when i went to katie’s wedding i didn’t know anybody so i ended up sitting at a table full of old people from her church, they were quite entertaining.  and had many valuable conversations, this lady next to me, barbara was 65, she was awesome, but her story is kind of sad, she’s been battling her sister for things after her mother passed away earlier this year, i don’t ever want to do that with my sister, money is just money, you either have it or you don’t, there’s no need to get nasty with family over it, this other man al said it took forty years to resolve everything after his mother died, can you imagine!! he invited me to join their church, said they love to have people like me their, whatever that means, he was staring at me a lot during the dinner, unless it was a coincidence everytime i looked at him he was looking at me, but he said we should discuss more chemical engineering things, so nice, i should volunteer at the home near where max used to live when i get back to boulder, old people have so much more to offer than people my age, and i don’t have to feel like i need them to like me

pic it til it hurts

pictures from the blizzard last week

this is right outside of my apt

we were shoveling off lauren’s car, there was quite a bit of accumulation

i got tired and sat down, i love you snow pants!!

the puzzle that i did, sure lauren helped, but i would say i did most of it

oh my goodness, it’s sarah jessica parker!!

it’s cool, we got way back, she looks cold, it’s winter out and this is all she has on, here girl, you can wear my jacket

my mommy’s new ride, i don’t know why the picture came out like i’m in some inferno, wierd

snow, snow and more snow

second huge snow within a week, how crazy it that, i wanted to go to the lotus show so bad last night, i wonder if they even played, they were scheduled for tonight too but of course i can’t go, boo it was that last chance i’d get to see them if i move out of colorado, well i guess not necessarily if they tour where i’ll be living next! my friend katie is supposed to be getting married tomorrow, i wonder if it’s still going to happen, i still have to get her something, i was thinking of just getting a gift certificate maybe to target, i was thinking of nice home-y places like restoration hardware or pottery barn but isn’t target more practical and i don’t have to drive all the way to park meadows, there’s not really nice stores at southwest plaza, see i was think with her marriage, i really want to get married, but do i really, i just always feel behind when people my age are doing things that i’m not doing, like all the people with jobs and school plans after graduation, but then i think of all the people that havent done nearly as much as i have, and i was watching sex in the city, carrie didn’t want to marry aiden because she wasn’t ready and she was having a panic attack, i was think, goddam woman you are forties, i think you are beyond ready to get hitched, but i guess different strokes for different folks! things will happen when they happen and if they don’t, then it wasn’t meant to be right, i got pictures i wanted to post, but i could get my flash drive to work with anything anymore, it might just be a piece now, i lost the cap for the end of it a while ago and maybe something got in it, when you plug it into a computer, you still detect it but you can’t open it up and see the files, so use anything that’s on it already, sure they’re cheap now, but i bought it for 50 and it’s only 256mb, now you can get a gig for 20 or less, i want a laptop, i want it so bad, but i don’t know if i should because i guess i have a computer now and don’t really need one

oh yeah for christmas i got a couple of puzzles, one has larges pieces with a square cut out in each piece, it’s advertised as a puzzle inside of a puzzle, the other one i got has wooden pieces shaped like people, i think that one is going to be hard to put together,

what am i doing with my life?

i’ve been so bored today. i get this way every once and a while, and lately more and more, i went on all my time wasting site, this, myspace, facebook, yahoo answers, i need to do something more productive man, i went to sushi zanmai tonight with caitlin, max and jon, it was ok, i got the death roll, big mistake, it was so spicy, i couldn’t even eat it, my mouth was on fire, that’s probably why they call it the death roll, i just didn’t put two and two together, i’m excited to get a manicure tomorrow, i haven’t got one in so long, a computing student gave me a gift certificate to this place call ten2o, clever name huh?? like ten fingers or twenty for fingers plus toes, that’s good marketing right there

this year, i’ve been getting so many cool presents from people totally unexpected, i got some chocolate nips from another computing student, then i got a gift certificate to borders from sandy, the advisor for tau beta pi and i got 20 bucks from dan schwartz, the guy i ta for, so sweet, people are so nice when you least expect it.  if only i had money, then i could be nice too

so i’m applying to mit, penn state, univ of florida, univ of calif santa barbara, state univ of new york buffalo and vanderbilt; i hope i get in somewhere, i need to get in somewhere, i just have to, it’s going to be so exciting to move to a different city and experience new things, it’s going to be the first day of the right of my life, hahahaha, well something like that, i think i’ll miss colorado, everything is familiar and comforting, i signed up to interview with shell on career services today, i think i’ll upload my resume on monster.com to see if i can’t get other job things, that’d be cool if i got offered a really cool job for really good pay, how sweet would that be….i can dream

grad it

grad school applications are so draining, i spent all weekend on them, i gave two professors the info for my letters of recommendation but i have one more, he wasn’t in his office yesterday, and i got them all a little present, which was kind of heavy, i got them some tea, honey, a mug and some little chocolates, it was the mug that was heavy

i went to career services yesterday to have someone look at my statement of purpose, but even though it said, walk-ins welcome, i had to make an appointment for wednesday, tomorrow at 1, i hope it was worth waiting, one of my deadlines is for january 1st and i’m waiting to change my statement of purpose before i finally submit it.

 went to islands restaurant last night with kyeonghee, it was ok, caitlin said it was excellent though, talked it up too much, but pam did say she didn’t like it, i got a pina colado, it was so strong, well i know i’m a wuss about alcohol, but this was so strong, i couldn’t handle it

went to campus afterward and finished my grading, i’m bored, i’m bored with life in general and i’m confused about was other people tell me about grad school, everyone tells me different things about my chances of getting in, who knows,

don’t panic!

i went to the panic/jack’s mannequin concert last night with caitlin, john and lindsay, what a bad night for it, so snowy, took an hour and a half to get from boulder to denver, our seats were ok, john and lindsay were on the floor which was not that great because we got there late, jack’s mannequin already started playing, we missed the first opener, the guys that sing the snakes on a plane song, but what can you do, weather difficulties

me and caitlin when we got there

we planned to eat dinner before but that didn’t happen so we both go the phoenix combo, a beer and the phoenix hot dog, i got a canadian molson, it wasn’t half bad, i might be coming around on beer, but yeah, that hot dog was not messing around, enormous, just how i like it

my camera didn’t take very clear pictures of the stage, sad =(

i thought panic was pretty good, the show was very strange, circus theme, people did a bunch of acrobatics, ppl on stilts, very performance art and bizarro at the same time

holga holga

i just bought a new camera, the holga, i’m so excited, it says one day shipping but i forgot to change the shipping address so it’s going to my house down in l-town
   

    

it was made in hong kong 1982, just three years before i was born, it really should have a chinese name “ho gwong” meaning “very bright” i’m so excited, you have have multiple exposures on a single frame and the camera leaks light making cool frames, muahhahahhahahaha
