Gloom, Procrastination & Dread

I'm not sure if it's the weather, or the fact that I've been listening to the Metric album on repeat - but gloom is seeping out of me.

Rain reminds me of Beyonce's Sweet Dreams:

I'm mid-way through Season 3 of 24 and still intrigued as ever. Chloe's humor makes up for the stunted momentum, and I'm excited that Sherry and Nina are back - conniving women are absolutely key. On another note, I've decided I cannot further delay my GMAT studies and have resolved to resume Monday. I have a lot of material to get through, even though I pretend like I don't. Oh math, how you vex me so.

BootieBootieBootieBootie, Rockin' Everywhere!

Last night was Chad's birthday at Bootie. My getup was not as piratey as I had visualized - corset with skinny jeans and knee-high boots. I forget who told me pirate ladies wear corsets, but I'm pretty sure they don't. I couldn't breathe normally, nor could I bend because of the boning. But aside from being restricting, it looked good. I decided not to wear an eye patch, but I did curl my hair and wear hoop earrings! On the way, Jon and I were trying to talk like pirates. THAT DIDN'T WORK OUT SO WELL but it was pretty damned funny! I had inventory at the crack of dawn this morning, and THAT didn't work out well AT ALL. I ended up only lasting three hours, the drive home was gruesome.

Spontaenous Soju & Catnapping

My friends showed up at my place and forced me out, damn them. Whenever this happens I wonder how they'll react the day I really don't come down LOL. We went to Playground where we were served corn with mayo as an appetizer, strange. The honey chicken was tasty, the potstickers were greasy. Everything seemed outrageously overpriced, but then again I don't usually eat at bars so I could be wrong. The Soju was yummy and I ended up having fun even though I started out a bit hostile.

SHARKS, SHARKS, SHARKSHARKSHARKSHARKS!

My first SHARKS game at Alex's! Hockey is A-MA-ZING!! As soon as the game started I was thoroughly captivated. I love how fast and action-packed hockey is. Fighting may be the best part, although Heatley's penalty shot was insanely INTENSE. I can't wait to go to a game, and I know there will be more hockey nights to come. Hurray for new interests, and awesome friends to enjoy them with!!

P.S. I got a chrome-splinter today at work. I think this further demonstrates how accident-prone I am. Cursed panda.

Castro Street Fair 2009

I had to choose between Bluegrass in GGP and the Castro Street fair today, luckily I chose Castro and got a little bit of country anyway! I want to learn how to line dance..

I got a sticker for making a donation! I also won a fake tattoo from the Monterey Bay Aquarium booth (the lamest prize possible). Candace won a paperweight so I took it! We had a beer each and walked around. The live entertainment was cool and the small stages were even cooler. There was a little rave area in one of the parking lots and the deejay was great! Other than being ridiculously cold today, it was a grand time!

Deeply Rooted : 5

At dinner, my mother mentioned that my great grandmother was a seamstress and she worked at a Navy uniform factory in Hawaii. Then the conversation led to counting generations - and my brother and I hadn't realized that we actually are 5th generation Americans! I thought I was 4th maybe, and my brother had always assumed that he was 3rd.

This really goes to show how little we know about our genealogy.
