Varnish

Save the artists...

Down an alley lined with urine, varnish is a small warmly lit gallery space showing the work of Rob Reger tonight.

Black Man, White House

The sign on the counter of the fish taco shop says, "Black Man, White House"

I'm in the alley waiting for my fish tacos. My feet are freezing because i'm wearing open toed shoes to try to show off my pedicure from the wedding, but these shoes aren't very open toed and don't actually show off my toes as well as I thought they would, so now i'm freezing for no reason.

I want to go back to Hawaii! Oh wait, I will be in like a month. : D

My best friend's wedding!

I just got back from Stacey's wedding!! She was absolutely gorgeous and she had a beautiful wedding, and I was so honored to stand by her on her special day.

I have never seen such a patient bride-to-be. Stacey had many last minute things she had to get done, but she did all of them with patience and grace.

I had so much fun, made some new friends, saw some old friends, and just had an all around wonderful time!

Congratulations to Stacey and Todd!!

Supershuttle!

I'm heading to Hawaii for Stacey's wedding!! Yay!!!!!

I drove into work today to park and then grab CalTrain/bus/cab to the airport. Whatever would be the easiest. I looked up some routes before I left, but all of the options would change depending on when I arrived at the garage, so I thought I'd just wait until I got there and ask the parking guys what they would recommend. They said the Supershuttle!

I figured I needed a reservation, but I called and was picked up within about 15 minutes. It was just about the scariest ride i've ever had to the airport (scarier than the taxis in Beijing), but it was only $17! Woohoo!

UFC

I took Josh out to a bar for the fight tonight to celebrate his birthday - which was earlier this month. We invited some of his friends and headed to the 2nd best sports bar in the country (voted by sports illustrated in 2004) in San Leandro.

UFC is a strangely compelling sport. Not something I ever would've thought I could enjoy - but something I find myself enjoying somehow. I don't know that I would still seek it out if I didn't have a boyfriend who was an enthusiast, but who knows? It's always interesting to watch people fight. Why is that? When a fight used to break out at school, everyone would stop what they were doing and watch.

In UFC, it's a little different from a schoolyard brawl because it's organized fighting done (usually. ...er, sometimes) with a lot of respect for the sport - not just the desire to beat the hell out of someone. But, yeah... It's like watching genres battle it out, (you'd probably have to watch it to really understand what I mean) and that's strangely interesting in itself.

Sculpture garden

When I was 11, I decided that when I graduated high school I would move to California and attend UCLA to study theater.

This is the sculpture garden outside of the UCLA theater department.

I love NYC

There's way too much to tell... I was there for work, but did my best to soak in everything I could when I was free. I barely slept. At one point, I actually felt like I was hallucinating from lack of sleep.

I love New York!!

The highlights include:

The soon to be famous Holly Chou.
My brilliant and talented friend John Mok and some great live music.
Hanging out with Pattycake, my favorite baker's man.
Upright Citizen's Brigade Theater.
The Ninja Restaurant.
The Roommate Grace Hotel.
August: Osage County the play.

Hello NY!

Just landed and am in a taxi heading to the city. I was surprised to find all of the *ahem* foreign looking service people in the airport speaking clear English. Hehe, it's just not something you usually find in SF.

Colorado Springs

They keeping changing the roads in this city. Add my terrible sense of direction to moving roads and I'm perpetually lost. The strip malls on repeat don't help. If it wasn't for the mountains giving me a point of reference, I think I would lose my mind trying to get from one place to another.

It's nice to see my family and old friends, the stars, and open space between cities. I love the forest and the way people smile at you from passing cars, and the customer service can't be beat.

The dry air is making my face breakout, although my hair looks amazing. I can't seem to sleep at this altitude, so i'm always tired and always attempting to nap.
