– went to deathcab show lastnight – i might write a review… might not. i like em but it didn’t move me. there – that’s my review.
– worked all day today
– worked tonite, had to cancel my plans to hit the tv on the radio/kill me tomorrow show
– working now and don’t have time to post
– got my zappos shoes, tried them on quick – but need to do it again w/ a pair of jeans on to really figure out which ones i like. 1 out of 3 is already nixed… so it’s between 2 of em. and really they’re not comparing to how great my old boots were :(
– i’m addicted to ajax’s blog, but that might just be me. i’m only telling you because i’m trying to “share”. i’m a share-er.
– kazoobie is *really* into his mouse. he keeps finding it and batting it around the house and then losing it. and then finding it again, and whipping it up in the air and jumping around! and then he looses it again. then he finds it again and zoom it’s across the floor! and he likes to chew on it. it’s hardly recognizable anymore. when he looses it he misses it and meows till i help him find it. i just love that fuzzy guy. (my kitty that is, not that mangey, wet chewed on toy mouse)
– does anyone have an extra 24 hours layin around they could lend me? i hate time.
As I sit here & eat my yummy turkey burger, I will post a little too.
First of all, I’m in love with zappos.com so much I want to marry it. I posted about that in the one that got lost – all about how f*in great this site is that it’s basically this site with a HUGE selection where you can find exactly what you’re looking for at a click(s) of a button and pick a couple out, get them sent to you – decide which one’s you like & send the one’s you don’t want back – no strings attached! Aaaand free shipping to you AND free return shipping! No JOKE!
Ya see, I have been looking for a replacement for these boots I used to wear all the time that busted back in February (and after 3 years the soles were kinda getting uncomfortable & such anyway), but I haven’t been able to find anything in stores… nor do I really have the time or patience to wade downtown in the masses, through the stores, that don’t have my size – blah blah blah. So I found some I like on there & ordered 3 different pairs and I hope one works out! So the COOLEST thing is they upgraded my shipping to 1 business day!! AND then they even wrote to say something was wrong w/ one of the boxes – so they credited me $5. Wow are they making me love them more or what!? I do. I want to marry them.
Except this is where I’ll add a relationship note – you HAVE to be funny to be with Willo. I almost went on a date with some cute guy last week (a fireman no less, some of you ladies probably get off on that eh?)… but boy was he BORING!!!!! How can I talk on the phone w/ you 2 different times and not laugh once? In fact, me being fairly chatty – so chatty I could probably hold up a conversation with a fence for christ sake – with this guy I was like, “Soooooo……. ” and – “Uh huh, riiiiiight… well then….” And I think on every call I was the one that was like, “well, gotta go!” thinking if I could just hold out for the dinner out (cuz like Kat says, “A girl’s gotta eat!”) that maybe he’d get more interesting through dinner and a few drinks. But I couldn’t do it. I thought I better save the embarrassment of me falling asleep in my soup – so I called the date off. I’m relieved, but my girlfriends who love firemen were sad – they were rootin’ for me to atleast get as far as having him naked in just his yellow suspender’d firemen pants and to take a photo for them. I admit that might have been fun… but there’s gotta be rental places around here that rent those puppies out? Hmm, I’ll just find a funny guy who also loves music as much as I do… and we’ll see if we can’t work that out ladies. :)
Alright – so we’ve covered my great lunch, the kick ass shoe site and a personality requirement to date Willo… The only other thing is I wanted to say is…
shoot I forgot. I’ll post it later if I remember. Time to get back to work!
i need to hire someone to come over around 11:30 every night to tuck me in. that way I’d really go to bed instead of staying up and realizing it’s almost 2am and I really should have gone to bed 2 hours ago.
Gravy Train wasn’t the show I thought it would be. Rick & I had bought tix after hearing that the show was hilarious and it sounded like a good time… especially after seeing their website.
Turned out Rick had tix to Cracker at Bimbos, so I brought Lyne & Rachel along for a girls night. Rebecca (of Becca’s Picks) even showed up later w/ some friends of hers, too!
Lyne took off after awhile, she had a fun party to go to and spending the evening surrounded by 15-17 year olds wasn’t her cuppa tea. Understandable!! She did however just love their little 80’s outfits. We saw some awesome ones… Even Rachel had to hold back from telling a few of them that she had that exact same outfit on in 8th grade (20 years ago!) :) It’s pretty wild to see trends cycle through again. We saw headbands, leg warmers, shorty shorts and some kid had totally sewn his own crazy get up. Quite creative really!
The most entertaining part of the night was Willpower, who’s basically Will Schwartz of Imperial Teen. Which means nothing to me, cuz I never listened to them.. but he was great. He sings and was totally on fire. His songs were really fun to dance too – and soo sexy!! He was so fun to watch – and he even had little back up dancers where they all did choreographed little moves in full 80’s regalia. It was awesome.
Gravy Train however was….. oy… I dunno… I mean I guess if I listened to the CD a lot and new the words already – and I’d had like 8 drinks, I’d have probably have had a better time. But instead I had these teeny bopper girls totally making out in front of me and waay to into my personal space to the point I had to keep yelling STOP-IT! to make them stop deep-throating eachother all over the place while I was trying to watch the show – not to mention the time the one girl was telling a story soo loud about “this one time she was so coked-up she couldn’t even… ” oy… kids these days!!
The most over the top part was the ultra-OUT black boy of Gravy Train who just has no fear in his little tighty whities, gettin up on stage and shakin his business everywhere. Which is fine and all – and most certainly welcome there in the Sea of Youth™, all of which seemed “queer cuz it’s cool” – but it got a little too much for me after somehow his little tighties got a rip in them, so the last 1/2 of the show was pretty much him shakin his assless underweared booty aaall over the place. Poll dancing and all. The boy’s got a future at one of the gay sex clubs downtown for sure… but that wasn’t what I had paid to see lastnight and just overall wasn’t that impressed.
I wish I had gone to the Cracker show instead.
Yesterday the Six Girls planned a day together: Brunch at the Embarcadero Farmers Market – (which is now called The Ferry Building Marketplace) & a shopping trip to the Red Dot Outlet. For me this was a TOTAL luxury, since usually my Saturday mornings are practically like every other day where I just get up & start working… (which I *should* have done yesterday, too since I’m still trying to catch up like crazy – but I let myself go anyway. Yes, I’m feelin the guilt!!)
In addition to us six, Ashley brought her lovely friends Marissa & Russ. Marissa is the most adorable pregnant woman I think I’ve ever seen :) They’re an adorable couple. We also invited Jane Pinkard along, who constantly amazes me how adorably sweet as can be she is.

CRAP!!!!!!!! The rest of this post just got wiped out :(
BLAH!!!!!!!!!!!
SOMETIMES I HATE BLOGGER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I’m sorry but I’m not writing it again.
f*** f*** f*** f*** f***
My fabulous friend, Jish (who’s been givin me some postcard lovin lately – wahoo!), just recently posted about his uber-metrosexual skin care regimen!! And I say, good for him!! Moisturizing and taking care of your skin isn’t for just the ladies! I personally ♥ LOVE ♥ a man with soft skin and one who cares a little about those wrinkles forming. I have encouraged many boys in my life to moisturize!
First of all, (as you may not be able to imagine) I was a total pizza face when I was young. Well, not total pizza face in high school, but it felt like it, as I battled greasy skin and breakouts for sure. But there was a stint between high school and in the first year of college – around that “Freshman 15” time when all we were eating was large greasy pizzas and beer till 2:30 in the morning? oh ya.. my face and my hips saw that action tenfold! uug! But I actually blame it all on that horrible skin regimen Clinique has that just dried my face out soo bad that it broke out even worse. It was horrible – and in college I had to get on major medication for it which gave me nightmares and my skin literally flaked off – it sucked! :( The happy ending to that was that I started working out like crazy… I had a lovely routine walking around Wash park in Denver every day for an hour w/ my walkman – and lost 20lbs!! My face cleared up and I felt great. Anyway – that was a dumb painful memory story way to get to telling you why I believe so much in good skin care…. here’s what I do now….
In general I try to use more natural products… and as many of my friends (and long-time readers) know – I LOVE LOVE LOVE Origins. I can feel (reasonably) good about their ingredients since they try to gear their stuff to the more au-natural! For YEARS I’ve sworn by their Fine Tuner moisturizer, which they don’t display anymore, but it has so many long time users, you can go ask for it by name and they’ll get it for you. It’s the best for combination skin – I just recently stepped up the moisturizing ladder and now I use their Look Alive moisturizer during the day – and their Night-A-Mins moisturizer at night (it has this yummy tangerine smell to it!) and sometimes I use the Starting Over and the Eye Doctor. See? I’m a *nut* for Origins!!
I use Aveeno Skin Clarifying cleanser face wash and LOVE it. It takes of makeup in a breeze (which I’m sure all you men need right? :p ), a little goes a long way, it’s inexpensive and it doesn’t dry out my face horribly bad like some. (It’s soap-free and oil-free!) I have tried some Neutrogena SPF Moisturizer and am currently using an Aveeno SPF Moisturizer (that is if my skin *ever* sees the light of day, which these days isn’t too often sadly enough!)
Every once and awhile I’ll exfoliate w/ those little scrubby pads, too. It’s pretty basic – but the older I get I am so serious about moisturizing and SPF protection. Make sure you take your makeup off at night, too – someone I know sleeps in hers every night and that’s so bad!
So there ya have it. Now go out & MOISTURIZE!!!
p.s. While I’m just being totally girlied out – I just HAVE to add, Origins makes this great product called Underwear for Lashes and it’s the BEST!!! It really does make such a difference in making your lashes fuller & longer. You put it on under your normal mascara – which I used to use Lancome for years but just recently coverted to L’oreal’s 3D Architect Mascara – and love it! :)
Keep BART running till 3am!! SIGN THIS PETITION!!
I could have been at an AWESOME show tonite* in no time and come back all on the safe lil’ BARTy-poo if the damn thing would run after midnight!!! But noooo-ooo-ooo… somehow a long time ago the ol’ farts on the BART commitee thought nobody needed a ride after 12am… What kind of insanity is that!? There are TONS of Bay Area peeps that want to go to & from SF/East Bay for concerts, the airport, bars, theatre productions, dinners, friends houses and more. The worst part is that it’s *no doubt* MANY people drive drunk to/from SF to East Bay due to the lack of alternative transportation.
That’s why this petition is a great way for us to speak up & request that they atleast run one train an hour till 3am. Please go sign it & pass it on!!
YAY for the petition people for getting this started – please help spread the word and let’s make some change!
*Well, I was gonna go if I wasn’t sick AND BART would ride my tipsy booty home! So there!
I’m making turkey burgers & watching Orange County tonite (finally). Should be pretty funny. Funnier than the last movie I saw, Punch Drunk Love… boy was that wierd and nothing like I expected it to be.
I *still* haven’t seen Lost in Translation yet either! I might go tomorrow – even if I have to go by myself. But that’d be no fun – anyone wanna go?
Didn’t hit The Rapture show tonite due to being “under the weather” – and I’m saving my energy for some ridiculous good times standing around with a bunch of 16 year old girls at the Gravy Train show this weekend. ha! I’m 16 still, too!! :p I only know that there’s gonna be a bunch of youngins there cuz when I mentioned it to the kids at BAM, they said 1/2 their school was gonna be there. It’s actually become quite common us standing around in a sea of youth. (that should be a band name: Sea of Youth, prolly already is.) Well, we have the drinking stamp – so there – hah!!
Ok – off to get a little more work done & then it’s finally chill time.
