Blankey recently changed schedules so rather than getting off work at 7, he gets off at 6. It’s strange what a difference an hour makes. Last Wednesday, we already finished dinner by the time we would normally start so we were trying to figure out what to do with the rest of our night. He had the genius idea of doing something cheesy like going to the wax museum on Hollywood Blvd…which is exactly what we did. We went to the wax museum to walk amongst the famouses. I met all kinds of creepy celebs. It was great! And we didn’t even have to go to the scary side. Then we went to the Guinness Book of World Records Museum. There was so much learning to do there. Information overload. Though I think some of the stuff may have been a little outdated, but records are being broken all the time. I don’t blame them. It was still a really interesting place. I love going on adventures with ze Thomas Robert. :]

It’s rare that I really like any pop music that is on the radio post-’NSync, but Leona Lewis, I like. My ears always perk up a little when I hear “Better in Time” on the radio at work. Unlike most, I can listen to the same song over and over and over again and not get sick of it.
I’m gonna smile ’cause I deserve to.

I love the first single off Leehom’s new album, Heart.Beat!! I haven’t had a chance to finish listening to it yet, but he is so wonderfulll.
Here’s the video with English subtitles. They are a little hard to see but it’s a good vid.
I feel really restless right now. It might be because I just had this little milktea/coffee combo. Oh the wonders of powder drinks! I’m supposed to do homework but it’s just too hard to concentrate when I’ve got all these other things racing around my brainskis.
For a good hour or so, I was bumming around on the couch with my roommates. I really wanted to talk to them about everything, to just let it all out and tell them exactly what is on my mind, but I couldn’t form the words to do so and instead, every few minutes, I’d either bust out in song or go “WAAAAAHHHH!!” or “AHHHHHHH!” It was pretty meh. Also, it’s blazing hot in my apartment! The landlord is trying to cook us! But he’s using this “painting the building” excuse..
I can’t wait until this weekend. I just want one night where I can just go to sleep and wake up with no obligations. I would love love love it.
I’m going home this weekend!!! YEAH!! I get to see my famaree including Patchon!! AHHH!!! Who knew I’d be so excited to go home?
Speaking of weekend, I bought more dresses this past weekend. Hahah that’s five total just this month. How exciting!!
OMG I’m going to Skywalker Ranch!!!
So the Jonas Bros were one of the “and Friends” of Justin and Friends and they played this song at the concert. It’s cute…but they’re like 10. How often do they catch this “love bug”? It sounds life threatening. And the youngest bro is totally going through puberty or something because his voice sounded so strange and nasally live. Anyway, just wanted to put up the video because I saw a snippet of it in a commercial one time and I totally recognized Cicada Club. Yays! I love retro-inspired videos.
Anywho, HAPPY BIRTHDAY ROOMIE DEE! <3
BOING! HAHAHA

Things are quite crazy right now. I am awkwardly trying to balance school, work, and something along the lines of a social life. This is hard! And my stomach is still so full of Tex-Mex appetizers. BLECH. Bad idear.
So much has happened since I last wrote. My dear friend Allison finally turned 21 and got drunk as a skunk, the lovely Bryan made an appearance in our lives again briefly (I’m certain he will have a recurring role), I saw my first feature length silent movie, strange as it was, I have crossed paths with quite a few celebrities at random moments, I have experienced some kind of weird delayed hangover-type deal that lasted three days (concurrent with Allison getting drunk as a skunk), went to some lame bar downtown but its money portal made up for it, had our first roommate outing in Hollyhood to watch Robot Chicken, experienced crickets in our livingroom (I am looking at one right now and it freaks me out because I pass out here all the time), watched Batman a third time…….yeah, it’s been crazy daisy.
BUT I am quite chipper. Aside from the overwhelmingness of balancing life, things are going good. I’m happy 
By the way, I forgot how awesome Pushing Daisies was until I saw the first episode of this season and all my gushy feelings came rushing back. Oh how I love that show.
Since we are on the subject of TV now, Henry vs. Gio!! Although I was rooting for Henry, I always thought she would choose Gio because she can still be young and spontaneous, whereas choosing Henry would tie her down, so I was almost sure she would choose Gio, only to find the season beginning with her choosing neither. That was a little disappointing because it was such a big deal and caused me much inner turmoil, yet it took but seconds for her to resolve that issue. But the decision seemed to make sense. If you’re choosing between two and you’re having that much trouble, maybe it is best to choose neither because apparently you do not love one more than the other if it’s that hard. I was looking to Betty for a little guidance, but she took too long to get here.
One more thing, I love Pam and Jim! And I saw Dwight at LACMA on Saturday. AH!
I love when a singer can be so mellow yet still knock my socks off. This is exactly the kind of performer Jack Johnson is. He came out, calm and cool, performed his stuff, and didn’t need to try to hype up the crowd like one of his openers, Rogue Wave, but got his crowd excited anyhow. This is why Jack Johnson is the man.
He opened his concert with “Sleep Through the Static,” title track of his latest album, and performed quite a few of the other songs from that album. He also performed some oldies like “Bubble Toes” and occasionally intertwining his renditions of others’ oldies such as “Just What I Needed” by the Cars with his own. That particular one was during, I believe, “Sitting, waiting, wishing.” I waited the whole concert for my faves and he did play a couple but what I wanted to hear most was “Gone” and “Angel” and he was not playing them. The stage got dark and all the band left. Everyone was screaming for an encore and he came out and did a Jimmy Buffett song. I thought that was going to be it so I was kind of sad…then….THEN he played “Gone.” I was ready to go home happy and thennnn HE PLAYED “ANGEL.” As if that wasn’t good enough, he went right into “Better Together.” I was ready to die happy. That was the best possible way for him to end the concert. Totally worth my time and pain standing there for four hours even though I could only see him half the time between tall people’s heads. haha.
I’m just a little surprised by his fans. I feel like the whole point of his tour was just disregarded by so many people there because as we walked away, the field was littered with thousands of plastic cups and bottles. It was kind of horrifying and I wondered how Jack would feel seeing that, thinking that maybe he isn’t really getting his message across. I don’t know. There were recycle bins all over and it’s not that hard to remember to pick up the one piece of trash you put on the ground. On top of these fakers, I never realized how rowdy some of his fans are. It’s kind of weird because he’s so mellow. I figured his fans would kind of be too. haha
But anyway, Jack Johnson was perfect and I love him and his voice and I would be Better Together. <3
By the way, opening for him at this particular show were Rogue Wave, Culver City Dub Collective, and my personal fave, Paula Fuga, who has an amazing, amazing, amazing, powerful voice.
The Edison Bar is amazing. The Standard could be amazing if I got to go upstairs. Jack Johnson is amazing. You are amazing. Life is amazing. I love it.
It never works out that I get to do choir for fall quarter, and this year is no different. Even though that quarter would be the best one to do it because I love Christmas songs, I just don’t get to. But it’s okay, I still love it just the same any quarter. I found this clip on YouTube of us at my birthday concert. Haha, jk it wasn’t for my birthday, that’d be kind of weird but cool. This song was the prettiest of the bunch and I had a lot of fun performing it. Try and find me! I know it’s really late but I am always late on my updates, remember?
CONGRATS TO EVERYONE WHO GRADUATED!! PLEASE DON’T LEAVE THE COUNTRY BECAUSE I HAVE FEW FRIENDS NEARBY AS IT IS!! I will especially miss my roomie, Heren, but we will have a ball in Europe soon enough. To celebrate (more like mourn) the “end of an era,” as Meeshella likes to put it, we shot a really touching video, which was put together by the talented M-Dub. Please watch it over and over and over again and then spread it amongst your friends.
Oh Hollywood, why must you always exploit good things?
