anyone else sick of the rain? i gotta get some more stylish rain gear, my bright yellow costco raincoat aint cutting it downtown

we went to see the warriors last night ("lisa doesn't like sports," said steve the ass who KNOWS i used to play basketball - and we did play one-on-one once at the RSF, don't you wish you were there) - have to say, it was pretty ghetto - not to be all highbrow, but you could smell weed everywhere - plus the guy behind me yelled "HOMO!" at a guy from the nets when he airballed a free throw - i had to laugh out loud; who says that stuff anymore??

anyone look familiar?

it has come to my attention that some do not recognize the fremont troll from the seattle photos from ten things i hate about you. see here.

RANCH
anyone else see the "i love new york 2" with the RANCH DRESSING fountain (a la chocolate fountains)? i seriously gagged when i saw it. basically, the suitors had to cook ny a meal that included a cup of ranch dressing since she loves the stuff. DISGUSTING!!


i just found this photo searching for the ranch dressing fountain. it elicits the same emotions.

but yeah this coming from the girl who zeroed in on the one and only m&m cookie at the holiday party today...

HALLOW

the tenenbaum boys, pumpkin, man, son of man (in front of mission bar)

in front of lingba - kimora, i'm practicing your pose for next year

JA

to the true puzzle folks out there, i give you the times' country club puzzle. i recommend printing it out and spending half a day at work doing it. it's hard, but will give you a real sense of accomplishment when you have been beat in five games of scrabulous (don't even get me started...).

NORTHWEST FOTOS

pike place market

space needle and gehry's experience music project (i played the drums!)

steve in the car of his dreamz (tho we couldn't figure out how to turn the inside light on and had to keep pulling over and opening the door to read the map at night - LAME)

seattle art museum sculpture garden
cool red chairs

biking in stanley park, vancouver

lily pond on our bike ride

supposedly the best lattes in vancouver

agent provocateur storefront

one of many apts that steve took a photo of (there are tons of new apt bldgs in vancouver)

the fremont troll (who lives under the bridge). who remembers this from ten things?

that's rain on his shoulders, not huge bird droppings or something. and yes that is a vw bug he is mashing in his hand!

"IF THE DEMOCRATS WIN THE NEXT ELECCTION, THIS IS WHAT BIN LADEN'S GOING TO BE DOING..."

I ATE MY TEN YEAR OLD ME'S DREAM LUNCH

it was spaghetti mixed with curly fries, and it was glorious.

welcome to my new traffic from facebook. yeah yeah mall madness, etc.

PLUMP FUCKING JACK, MOTHERFUCKERS!!!

PROTECT YOUR PINS

this was certifiably one of the worst summers i've ever had - i won't detail all the bullshit here, but sufficed to say IT SUCKED. this proclamation comes on word that $3000 total was stolen out of my citibank accounts last wednesday morning by some enterprising person from a branch near my office (that i have never been to). WHAT THE FUCK. i have no idea how this individual got a hold either my card (which i have now and to the best of my memory have always had in my possession) AND my pin number. now i have to put freezes on my credit scores, file a police report, etc etc FUCKING KERFUFFLE RARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

i will say tho the citibank folks are extremely nice about all this. also lest you think i am careless about my numbers, i have always been super protective of my bank information/pin (since my sister went thru identity theft a few years ago) - i shred everything, i am paranoid at atms, etc - FUCK

WHEEEE

jeff yang's column on hyphen in the sf chronicle

please subscribe already so we can put out our four damn issues a year

after two months, i have ventured to put the contacts back in. so far so good.
notes: everything looks HUGE. do i now look like those people when you see them without their glasses?
first order of business: plucking eyebrows, then trimming bangs (both much MUCH harder to do with glasses)

my new and improved site is live!

i caught jonestown: the life and death of the peoples temple on pbs tonight - my friend from high school chrissy turner was the assistant producer on this film - man, it is powerful - i actually didn't know much about this whole thing (like it was originally based at fillmore and geary), do check it out if you ever stumble upon it on tv or netflix or green cine etc etc etc - sidenote: way back when (ok 1998) chrissy and i coined the term 'biracial-dar' (or 'bd' for short) as in 'biracial radar' because we swore we could tell who was biracial just by looking at them - i still swear i am better at that shit than at least 85 percent of the population - we maintained we had this special skill because we were both biracial (chrissy is blackinese) - but now i know i am actually bi-ethnic (tho i find it really hard to believe my parents are the same race since they come from such different backgrounds/cultures)

gloria recommended i watch kicking and screaming (baumbach, not ferrell) a looong time ago, and i finally saw it a few months back - i did not totally love it right after i saw it, though i find myself thinking about it often now - mainly because of this badass song that plays at the very end that reminds me of circa 96 - i pray that someday i find a karaoke binder that has this so i can sing my little mid-90s-gen-x-slacker movie heart out

THE MILK TEA SMELLS SO ODORIFEROUS
if you want to know the full story about my eye problems, listen to this npr story — it is exactly what happened to me and involves the same contact solution i used

also, our websites relaunched - spiffy!

finally, i was looking for a good recipe for milk tea, and i found this delightful website



let me know if you have any tips on how to make it
