i finished the first season of the o.c. tonight. maybe i shed a little tear, maybe i didn't. maybe you'll never know. good writing, good acting, great storylines, great great music....all equals some darn good tv. smallville could learn a couple lessons.
i read some of huck finn tonight as well for one of my classes.....its alright so far....don't get the hype. i'm only about 75 pgs into it, maybe the best is still to come? bring it twain i'm ready
so i 'm ready for some new music. weezer has a new one may 10th. i'm really looking forward to imogen heaps next solo album. and the next o.c. mix around the first of april.
this weekend will be pretty good. work tomorrow from 10 to 4:15-ish....then dinner with brandie and my parents in sanger. sunday brings church, watching a film for a class, then karaoke at night with miki and arnie.
equal parts pleasure and mild torture makes for a pretty ok weekend.
goodnight

R.I.P Spring Break 2005
Authors note: i wrote a very long, intense, wordy, funny, awesome post explaining my spring break and i lost it all. i am very upset. so this post will be more concise because i'm not doing all that crap again.
Here's what went down on my last spring break ever.
sat. march 5: me, brandie, sean, allie and brian drove down to santa barbara for the afternoon. laura and sally were there for a wedding. we just walked along state street. ate some lunch. we never actually caught up with laura, but we had fun nonetheless. we got to newport beach around 10:30 that night we'd officially arrived in the o.c. baby. we basically just crashed. the day was long and we had lots of shopping to do the next couple days
sun. march 6: me, brandie, sean and allie were woken up by the goings on of the morning as brian, laura and sally got ready for church. we all went to lunch at claim jumpers at south coast plaza. my salad sucked, but everyone else liked their food. we walked all over south coast plaza. i bought paul frank shorts and a paul frank t-shirt. brandie loved sephora as usual. back at the apartment for dinner laura made some bomb chicken. mad props to her for her newfound cooking skills. we went to blockbuster and rented wimbledon. it sucked.
monday, march 7: we went to fashion island first off. i bought some awesome new vans slip-ons from the closet my new favorite store ever. then we headed over to the spectrum in irvine where we ate happy hour appetizer specials at the Yardhouse to celebrate sean's birthday. good food and a good martini laura bought me! then we went to cheesecake factory and we all got slices to take back home. we went to the virgin megastore when we got back. then i finally scored some paul frank sunglasses from the closet (it's not my new favorite store for nothing). back at the apt., we ate cheesecake and watched "bend it like beckham". then we stayed up really late playing phase 10 and watching britney spears and backstreet boys videos on dvd. lemme just say that brian had some mean indigestion goind on. one word: "spladaow!"
tuesday, march 8: our last day there. we got up, got ready, packed all our crap once more, ate lunch at baja fresh then headed on out. we stopped at the outlets in camarillo. i scored 4 new pairs of boxers: 2 from banana republic, 2 paul frank from a surf shop. i also scored majorly with a paul frank hoodie for only $17.99!! overall, everyone had fun, a good spring break weekend, it will go down in the books as one of the best.
wed march 9 and thurs march 10: wed. was sean's 20th birthday, we all celebrated at japanese kitchen that night. both of these days i worked 8 hour shifts, it was intense, but i needed to be earning some cash to pay off all the stuff i'd bought! thursday night sean spent the night and me and brian's apt: we ate ice cream, drank soda and played lots of smash.
friday, march 11: i headed back down to socal. this time to finish up the Ashlan album with chris. i actually caught up with laura and sally again for dinner because chris wasn't off work yet. but once i got to his apt. it was all music business. we looked over songs and decided on what we needed to work on the next day.
sat., march 12: woke up early to record. got it all done! now just for final mixing, mastering, artwork and pressing....we're getting so close to being done, i'm excited. i went back down to newport to hang with laura and sally the rest of the time. i ran some errands with them, me and sally watch from justin to kelly while laura wrote a paper, then at 11pm we went to the yardhouse where we met up with some of their friends. good, but very long, day.
sun, march 13: went to church with the girls. then we went to cheesecake factory for lunch at fashion island. resisted the temptation to go to the closet once more. that afternoon we watched "a door in the floor". kim basinger should have her oscar revoked for that performance, it was awful. Grade: D. then it was up to l.a. for the phantom planet, maroon 5 show at universal ampitheater. the show was so freakin' good. i'd never seen phantom planet, i was impressed. maroon rocked it as usual. main highlight of the night: i met the girl who plays teri hatcher's daugher on "desperate housewives"! me and brandie love that show, so of course i talked to her and took a pic with her! after the show we went to in-n-out cause we were starving. then back to newport where i fell right asleep.
mon, march 14: woke up early and headed out around 7:30. said a tearful goodbye to laura and sally. i made it back in time for work, but i ditched 2 classes, eh.
overall my spring break was the best ever. i want to thank brandie for being the best girlfriend ever. for putting up with me when i'm cranky, and for loving to shop and eat out all the time. allie and sean: thanks for coming along, it wouldn't have been the same without you. brian: sorry for your personal troubles that one night; you provided hours of entertainment, when you were both awak and asleep. and to laura and sally: you two are the best. thanks for letting us invade your apartment. i had such a great time when i came back down by myself, can't wait to do it more often!
