last one

unf. i really wanna go see them.

oh shit

i completely forgot about this. what a sassy bitch.




A kid jumped on the stage and interrupted the show. Here is what Jack said if you can't hear it:
"Can we all quiet down for one second? I want everyone to be real, real quiet. And everybody stare at him. Where you going Papa? Where you gonna go now? Everybody's lookin' at you. You got the attention that you wanted. Did mommy and daddy drop you off at the rock concert? And did you come up here to give it to me man?...God damn! I'm real scared player. You like attention. Shall we continue the concert? You'd like that wouldn't ya? We ain't gonna. [the crowd boos.] Hey Eh, easy does it here. Don't worry. He'll get his come-uppance. Don't worry he'll get his come-uppance. I'm sure he'll do a lot of coke and beer (it's alright) after the show. [plays guitar] No more talkin' to him."

eugh

...what a buncha...

...no way...

i just found out that my boss passed away this weekend. i don't know how to feel about it. i think i'm most disturbed by the fact that she was only 34...

...but that doesn't stop me from being SUPER EXCITED about the tickets i got today. sucks i couldn't get echoplex tickets, but i was prepared for that. i'll take 3 of 4. that'll bring my final number to 33. heh.

i miss you.

fuck me! what a shit show!

loooooooooool. i woke up my dad laughing.

and apparently this hitler clip is a youtube phenomenon. there are TONS of clips of hitler finding stuff out. hitler demanding mcdonalds, hitler learning that his car was stolen, hitler finding out michael jackson has died. too funny.

target demographic fail

i'm watching queer as folk on logo right now, and a commercial for girls gone wild came on. WHO are they trying to reach? i highly doubt there are a whole lot of straight guys watching logo at 3 in the morning... and i can't see a lot of lesbians being interested. fail.

christian bale with a face full of makeup is the funniest fucking thing. i've seen this movie about a million times now, and i still laugh every time i see him with the blue hair & dreadful makeup, dancing around like a dork.

ewan mcgregor can really sing. i kind of wish he had been an actual rock star instead of an actor. and why doesn't he make more movies?

also, why doesn't jonathan rhys-meyers make more movies? he's stunningly beautiful and i guess an ok actor? i dunno. i've only really seen him in two things-- this and bend it like beckham. hard to judge.

something else i'll never get over is that thom yorke is singing up a storm all over the movie and it doesn't even sound like him because he's not whining and he's enunciating. but still, ewan's vocals > thom's vocals.

there are a lot of good tours happening right now. i want to see the dead weather (btw, i'm so envious of jack white's talent. he kind of reminds me of joey when joey would start playing piano and be like "what? i'm not good... i never took lessons..." and he could sing and play drums and a million other things... i hated him for being so fucking talented. ...but i guess i'm more in awe of jack's talent, and less jealous... k bye), regina spektor, placebo, and obviously trent. i know i'm leaving something out. (and i wish manson would tour NOT with that stupid "rockstar energy drink mayhem festival"...wtf? but just headlining in normal venues like a normal band). but it always happens this way. why do all the people i want to see tour at the same time? all the shows in end of august/early september. ARGH. and the thing is, trent ALWAYS takes priority and that's where all my money and time goes. and i'm ok with that. but still, i've missed out on some other good stuff because of bad timing. =/

also, it's pretty obnoxious because, like, regina and dead weather are only playing la. which isn't that far, but still takes a day away from me because it's not like i can just drive there after work.

ok i'm done complaining about this. i'm just waiting for trent to announce ticket prices and then i'll have a clearer picture of what i'm doing. i'm expecting them to be a helluva lot cheaper than the nin|ja shit, but you never know.

what's better than waking up to breakfast in bed on a nice, lazy saturday?

sleeping in and waking up to sushi in bed. :)



btw, the ticket situation for the last shows is really stressing me out.

everything is more miserable in sd

my interview wasn't an interview at all. i'm still confused.

i really miss sf. i had so much fun. and i really miss the weather.

the acquisition of scuderi and smyth, plus the way the last season ended, have made me very excited for next season. i can't believe it's only july. argh!

oh, and i hate trent. those extra dates at the end? so cool. except i won't be able to get tickets face value. i know it. i'm having flashbacks of when they played soma. although this time i'm sure scalped tickets will cost a whole hell of a lot more than 100 bucks. :(

...i can't wait to see harry potter next week, though. :)

i just wrapped up an itunes shopping spree (had a gift card) and can't wait to lay down and listen to my new stuff!

my feet have turned into blisters

dude, it's so fun here. i only have two complaints:
1. i forgot my walking shoes and san francisco involves a lot of walking. whoops.
2. there is definitely inadequate signage when it comes to public transportation. it can be very frustrating.

this place is like heaven. i haven't seen any douche trucks since i've been here. you know, the really ridiculously big ones that have gigantic wheels and angry men driving them? the ones that you can find in abundance in san diego? yeah, they don't exist here. love it.

also, it's the land of cute dogs. we hung out in the castro yesterday and today, as well as in the mission district (i think it's called) and i've never seen so many cute dogs in my life. and i love that a lot of the dog owners are happy men and when you say something like "omg your dog is adorable!" they get excited with you and say "isn't he?!"

another thing i've noticed is that everyone smiles a lot. and says hi. i'm used to accidentally catching someone's eye and then both parties look away awkwardly. here's it's like "OH HAI!" it's nice.

i really liked the nordstrom's cafe in union square. it's really high up and you can sit right by a window and look out at union square. and it's fancy and not really expensive. i got a goat cheese and leek tart with an herb salad... which is not something i'd even heard of before, but it was great. yay nordstrom's cafe.

japantown was fun as always and i may have to go back tomorrow to pick up a few things i didn't buy last time because i didn't feel like carrying them around.

we went to the japanese tea garden today. it was really beautiful but a little bit crowded. it made taking pictures annoying because i wanted pictures of the scenery without random people in the way. oh well.




tomorrow's my last full day here and i'm going to be by myself... which is ok, i guess. i just really don't know what i want to do. i haven't been to the wharf yet, but i always go there so i can probably skip it. we drove by the whole haight & ashbury area but didn't stop, so i think i'll visit tomorrow. i want to see what's going on in the amoeba. i've been told that it's better than the one in hollywood. although it does look a lot smaller from the outside, so i don't see how it could be better...

i kind of want to go back to castro... or maybe chinatown? but only if my feet feel a lot better because chinatown is pretty hilly from what i can recall. ugh i don't know. ok sleep.

Just landed in san francisco. It's weird travelling alone.
O.o

where's waldo?

nhl network is re-airing a game between dallas and anaheim from the 2008 playoffs. that's the series where i was able to get REALLY GOOD seats. i just saw myself on tv. i was just sitting there looking delighted. heh. k bye. :D

remember the time when it was four in the morning and you were like, "let's go."

it didn't matter where.

so we went.

turning point.

pffft

my mom wanders into the kitchen while i'm cooking for my dad and i and goes "what's for dinner?"

and i say "rice with yogurt and tofu"

and she made the most disapproving noise ever. pffffpbtht -ish.

needless to say, she didn't want any.

whatever dude. it's good.

"i'll give you a cervical exam"

in the running for worst pickup line ever, y/y?

i just picture him diving in there, head first. EW!

you know what's absurd?

that marijuana is illegal. legalize that shit and then tax it. allow the gays to get married. and then, guess what california? your money problems definitely shrink.

:D

things that never fail to make me crack up:


1. pavel datsyuk speaking english. and this clip of him, too:



2. jack white's vocals live. especially on the older songs, because the older the song the more he jazzes up the vocals. i was listening to "black math" live on the way to work this morning, and i swear he's squawking more than he's singing for most of the song. when katie and i saw the white stripes twice a few years ago during their week at the greek, i remember that parts of "ball & biscuit" had transformed into some sassy soul singing. i've yet to find a live recording of that song with jack doing that, but i'm still on the hunt. SO ENTERTAINING!

3. still on the live vocals thing... nine inch nails back-up vocals are pretty damn funny. the jeordie/aaron tandem was great (it was mostly jeordie that was hilarious, though, because aaron's actually not a terrible singer), but robin finck takes the cake. listening to him scream "MY GOD I DON'T THINK I CAN LAST HERE!!!" never gets old. he's too funny.

4. the jim mora playoffs clip. lol. PLAYOFFS?!?!?!



5. this silly ho. i love how she crossed her legs for the picture.





ok and that sums up my morning. BYE!
