third times a charm.

sunday i helped sara work the 'young hollywood awards' for the third time in a row.

give me a photo booth & an open bar & i'll pretty much do anything...or sit outside in the blazing sun, checking in snooty people & celebs.

anyway.

it was all worth it bc i got to meet joseph gordon-levitt in all his gorgeousness.

i also met a couple other cool celebs...mario & miss usa.... honestly though,  there were some other respectable people there that made me excited.

my scanner is not working, keeping me from scanning sara & my photobooth pics.

man this blog is on it's way to lame town, i need to get some pics up of all my adventures.

i promise to get on it soon. my mind has been one million places at once 24.7 lately.

i am watching the daily show right now.

jon stewart has jimmy carter on & he is talking about how different campaigning was when he ran.  how little money was available to him &  how his family split up and each campaigned in separate areas to cover more ground.  as interested as i may be in politics and all the different elements of campaigns, one thing i will never be ok with is the ridiculous amount of money raised and blown on these elections.  i can't help be feel it is an absolute waste.  i would love nothing more than for a candidate to raise all that money and donate it to charities, using that money to illustrate this 'CHANGE' all the candidates of this upcoming election have promised.  I would love for candidates to gain popularity through free press & the internet.  I know, I know, I'm so naive and idealistic.

and one more thing.

i don't EVER want to hear the words 'miley cyrus' and 'vanity fair' in the same sentence again.

the fact that that has been considered such relevant news to so many news sources is nothing less than disheartening.

bleh.

& i've got you to let me down.

one day i will have a balenciaga budget.

today, as hard as it may be to accept, i do not.

however, i did find these, which just may be able to distract me for a little.

let me also add that i never in my life imagined i'd be advertising my interest in a pair of 'nine west' shoes but with that being said i also have no problem admitting i like something...even if it has caught me off guard.

anyway, these little guys are less than $100 and available on the ninewest website right now!

some days are better spent in bed

...and today was one of them. 

 

I pride myself on keeping my glass half full the majority of the time, but every once in a while there are those days where even my positive disposition runs dry.  

Today was definitely one of them.  I am in no mood to be charitable, no mood to answer my phone or hold silly conversations with acquaintances out of obligation.  To make up for the mistake of ever stepping out of my house today, I will sit on my couch with my bottle of wine and be completely useless for the remainder of my evening.

I still haven't uploaded pictures from Betsy's going away party.  Maybe I'll try and fit that in at some point this evening.  The semester is over in 4 weeks and as exciting as that is it also means an unbearable amount of work until then.

(An unbearable amount of work that will wait until tomorrow.)

Last night I started the Enron documentary, "The Smartest Guys In the Room."  It's absolutely ridiculous what these men managed to get away with.  Ridiculous and so frustrating for all of the employees and shareholders who put so much trust in this facade of a company.

Between that and finishing "The Kite Runner" in my 8am waste of a morning class, I can see how my sour mood has been nothing but encouraged.

Even though I shouldn't bc I've already blown all of my disposable income for the time being, I think I may try & go to Medieval Times with Ryan & some others on Thursday.  I need some excitement & since the possibility of Coachella is not looking good I will need some alternative fun.

blehhhhhhhh.

moving on,

here's today's 'i want this:'

(similar to the anya hindmarch's 'i am not a plastic bag' that everyone has been carrying around lately this is a playful, green alternative to the typical paper coffee cup & i need it)

 

make it may already

it's grand prix weekend in long beach which means parking in my neighborhood somehow manages to become even more impossible. this also means drunk people crawling all over town. driving back from work today i saw more people with red cups on ocean blvd then at the last house party i attended. while walking to my local liquor store about an hour ago, i was almost ran into the wall by a belligerent gay man and his posse of bro hos.  i wish i could get into an event like that, i really do. i mean, it's walking distance from me-but i can't. the closest i'll get to the races this year is my sliding glass door, which i have to shut to quiet the humming of engines just down the street.

betsy is gone & i'm sad.

it's weird to accept the reality of her being hundreds of miles away.

she's in SF with gregory-and gabby and soon sara too.

i'm hoping to book a ticket with in the next week or two.

cinespia screenings begin in may.  i'm very much looking forward to them & can't wait to find out what they'll show this summer.

in other news, i need this in my life.

for sara:

i'm not sure why the pictures are looking grainy? 

anyway here are some pictures from this crazy house party we went to almost 2weeks ago.

                 (why why why?)

on tuesday i went to a friend's bbq/april fool's day thing.  these are the only two pics i took for some reason.  it was fun, the boys bbq'd us yellow tail and made an excellent bruschetta. 

i took a taxi home.



i haven't posted very much lately bc i've done a horrible job documenting my adventures.

my springbreakk08 is almost over.  i've enjoyed the break but actually look forward to getting back to the grind.

i'm going to the body worlds exhibit at the science center today & am pretty excited about it.
