RIP

always final
always sad

and here's your soundtrack:



song:in a manner of speaking
album:Nouvelle Vogue - Nouvelle Vogue

Hey, I'm just a whiner. I'm alive and so are those I love more than life itself. That's all I really want.

Merry Christmas!

Thanksgiving

Thanks was given. I'm thankful for life and love, for friends and family, for food and fun, home and health, for you and YOU and you and YOU.

But with all the good, I'm a little bit bored with life at the mo. I need some direction.

RSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

Yesssss I am a bit behind the times. I finally got around to subscribing to a few of my favourite blogs. Think I should subscribe to yours? Well tell me why! How about a subscription for a subscription? ;)

NIP SLIP!


In other news:

- I have an urge to brag about Luchi's blog and link all sorts of people to it, but ALAS. :(

- Kristina blogged a blog or 3. HINT: She's unconventional and likes to make finding new posts like a treasure hunt. UNO DOS TRES

- I had a thought that I should be a travel agent or work in some sort of low-airfares-as-a-benefit industry. But then what if the economy goes bust anyway? Also does anyone use travel agencies anymore? I know I don't, but if I was less edowed with marvelous electrosavvy brains (tsktsk) perhaps I would. Whatchoothink?


- My boyfriend is adorable. Nuff said!



PS. How's the font size? I thought it was just too small.

Home Soon!

Se, Jie

Watching this tonight at the Crest Theaters. (Beautiful 1940's style theater)



It's gotten some good reviews so let's see how good my Chinese is! =)

Perplexaration-al

And nothing does that more to me than half working internet connections that hauntingly bring back the days of dial-up. *shudders* See, the place we moved to *apparently* does come with wi-fi for all the tenants but it's been a bit more like apparently *doesn't* First something was wrong with the router for weeks, then that got fixed and the new password wasn't given for weeks, then the new password was given and now it's broken again. I know should just sign up for AT&T or something but I have this feeling that our *apparent* wi-fi signal is being tacked onto our rent ANYway. So, being the 1/4 Jew that I am in my right mind there is no way I could happily live knowing I am paying for 2 internet connections. I would rather be perplexed forever more actually.

Ah well. I am sure there are worse things than not having a speed of light signal, where you have to constantly walk around the house - laptop in hand - searching for a signal that you just lost, right? My perplexity is warranted mind you. Next week we are going on a ROADTRIP thingy and I NEEEEEED new musics. We'll be exploring the wilderness of the NorthWest =) and there's no way you can do that without a soundtrack. Gonna be all good times!!!

I discovered something that has helped me in this time of wireless distress. Basically it's this search engine www.shareminer.com that searches blogs and websites where people have uploaded full songs and albums onto file sharing sites like megaupload.com and rapidshare.com etc. I bumped into this girlie piece of ear candy: Nicole Atkins - Netptune City

I'll be taking pics on the trip for SURE so check back whenevah!

A FEW HEADLINES:

-- Lena and Jade will be coming down for Thanksgiving! Yaaaaay! We're just missing Manny who is still in France to be a full the formed Voltron. So we'll just have a buttless Voltron this year eh? *snicker*

-- I am listening to a song that keeps saying "yeah we can make sandwiches"??? I'm not a snob, nor do I need constant intellectual stimulation - but come on! That's just dumb!

-- Mom updated her blog! http://snowflakephenomenon.blogspot.com/

-- We are about to celebrate our one year bone-aversary. Self explanatory? =)

-- I love the fall!!! I'm going to go run and take pictures so you can see how pretty Downtown is right now.

-- I put some pink in my hair for halloween (I went as Emma, with a bit of pink hair) and it hasn't washed out. Which is sorta cool. Luckily I finally have a job that has no dresscode!!!

-- Mig took me out of his link list and for that he will be chastised! :D I have no links only cuz they didn't come with my template and I haven't figured out how to add them.

-- FIN --

Everyone and their mom has a blog...

Including me and my mom!:)

Miss them all so much!

When I was young...

Making love was just for fun. Yessiree! ;)

Home sweet home!

We has mooooved! Yay! No more annoying, noisy neighbours! We found a cute 6 month old studio a couple blocks away that has been seREne and peaceful to go along with this lovely fall weather that is creeping on us... as well as my latest musical obsession; a Danish band, called Mew, that makes an excellent theme music for this stage in my life.

So we have moved in but as of yet not put everything away (or better said have not found a place to put everything) so I am not going to take pictures of the inside just yet. Soon soon.

It's about time for pumpkin spice latte again no? Mmmmm. I found a recipe for that which leaves your tummy satisfied and your wallet $5 richer! Whoever thot that it's ok to pay $5 for coffee at Starbucks is completely insane... but I guess the habitué's continue unfazed which makes Mr Starbucks just a good business man.

Enjoy!

Oh Dang!!

My blog liveth!

Thanks to everyone who commented. I wasn't really about to throw in the towel, but I suppose making it seem that way I invoked some sympathy and compassion for me from you. :)

Thanks for all the comments. You guys are simply the best! It's encouraging to know that even we span the 4 corners of the universe and we seldom talk. Stiil, we aren't entirely forgotten to each other.

I am without internet at home for the time being so that is why you don't hear much from me these days, but hopefully I'll have that back up shortly.

Till then.....

QUESTION!

Does anyone read this blog anymore? Please sign your name in the comments if you occasionally stop by, even if you never usually comment. I'm just interested.

Lunar Eclipse Tonight. All the Luna's need watch! :)

A full lunar eclipse will happen tonight making the moon turn red as earth's shadow passes across it.

If you're in the PST then the eclipse will start around 1:51 am, be completely black around 3:30 am, and finish around 4:22 am.



Here's the link

Lake Tahoe Beach Wedding

The newly weds getting their married on!!

Hey, see how all the girls jumped out of the way?? It was a setup I swear! ;)

The war vet who had a little too much to drink.

Bailandooooo

BailandooooOOOO

Nothing like laying out on the warm sand taking in the beauty of Tahoe

Handsome man poses. He's the latest Calvin Klein model!

Smoochy pooo

say cheeeese!

Time still exists

I don't know why I like this so much. So dramatic and emotive. Dancing, music and art are the truest, most honest forms of human expression, the expression of our souls. Plus I'm drawn to the beauty of tragic love I s'pose.

Bound together in a love that will torment them, she's died in his arms....

My sister is so silly, she said that she enjoyed THIS one much more. Sigh, she's a gemini - that's all I have to say about that....

:)

Facebook is teh shizznit

It's just really been so cool to find friends from my distant and VERY distant past that I'd all but forgotten about. And yes, even a couple of family members who fell off the earth or so it seemed. This site actually makes a lot of sense to someone like me. Ahem, "someone like me": vagrant, homeless, wanderer, drifter, traveler, wayfarer. etc.

I would like to challenge anyone of you who finds the notion of a cyber social network to be cheesy and lame to offer me a simpler, more concise and straightforward means of keeping in touch with friends and family that span... 1... 2... 3... wait 4...NO, 5 CONTINENTS and I can't even count how many countries. My immediate family alone is situated in Seattle, San Francisco, Iceland, France, Switzerland, England, Australia, Zimbabwe. Tough to keep track!

So yeah, maybe if you never left the state you were born in. If you never had a friend with a different nationality than you. Perhaps I can see how very loser-ish you might be if your social life revolved around a website. But to the many who have left homes and family, by personal choice or perhaps by the actions of an evil dictatorial government [ie Robert Mugabe], this is just a means to share with friends and loved ones, a relationship that might have otherwise been lost.

If you don't make an effort to keep up with friends - and talking only when you need something doesn't count - then it all just fades away. It really does. But you know, I have also come to learn that in time it doesn't matter how good a friend you thought you had, or how well you thought you knew a person. The only ones who will be there for you through thick and thin all the way till the end is your family. Nobody else gives a real shit anyway.

I can has facebook?

Facebook... I has it!

After a year in therapy, my psychiatrist said to me, 'Maybe life isn't for everyone.'

The weather has been unusually cool lately. I thought we were supposed to be freaking out about global warming... I'm almost saying bring on pollution and toxins - if it's gonna help make my summer comfortable, bring it on! =) ..... pause..... NOT! Or maybe ... *ponders*... why not!?.... ok .... NOT! lol. Alrighty, moving along.

The B-Meister got a promotion and last night we celebrated at the lovely Tapa the World here in midtown. (pics were taken which I will post at my most nextest convenience) I love that place, it's all traditional Spanish cuisine and tasty goodness. I actually managed to make it a bit of a surprise celebration and called all his friends without him knowing to meet us there at 6:30 - success! He was uber touched and we all had that same feeling you get when looking at cuteoverload.com. So yes, I think I scored some brownie points as all his feeling touched led to me being touched and since we both were busy feeling so touched we figured, hey maybe we should be touching! HA! That was a good one! :)

Hallelujah!

Tickets bought and arrangements made for the visiting of BEAUTIFUL San Diego

that's some tremendous news!

Townhouse

There's a new-old divey club-bar-thing that just resurrected from the ashes of a very dead Sacramento night life scene called Townhouse. Let some Friday night debauchery begin.




I'm so ladylike and charming =)


Favourite kissy pic!


The Footloose!


Da ladies, Lainne and Nikki


Umm, what on earth??


Pompi


......

6 months?!? unofficially 8!?!?

Time doth fly!

This is not a "ohh it's our 6 month anniversaryyyyyyy" post, cuz believe it or not I am not gay like that. And besides, today is in fact not any special day, just Friday. :)
Anniversaries shmanaversaries. What's a day? I remember one of the only times I tried to celebrate, I thought it was expected - we both did I suppose. We both fell asleep! (lol, remember that Migz?)

I like to think that everyday is an anniversary!! :) Every time I see my boo after a long day at work feels like a celebration. (a glass of wine and some PG-13 make outs usually follow, quite

regularly - teehee) Then it's probably off for a relaxing bike ride around the town. Oh yes! I got a new bike, an awesome bike, a stunna bike, the type of bike that's so sleek and fabulous it gives other bikes complexes... eh. I will have to take some pics! What better a way to enjoy a summer evening than cruising tha citay with a breeze blowing in your face and your cares behind you somewhere - elsewhere.

So now, YOU! Get off the internet, turn off your computer and go give your hunny s big kiss and a hug - make sure they know you are crazy about them! :) Cuz hey, you never know what tomorrow may bring.

Crazy for catz...lolcatz

And thus a small taste of my artistic talent

BEHOLD...



Bwahahahahaha... I laugh out loud with no shame! Join me in my hearty chuckle by visiting this grand site. Your life will never be the same again!

Tahoe by Summer in pictures.

you know you're no longer a blogger...

when your own blog's URL is no longer saved in the cache on your own computer. All I have are little-thots.com, lavaginaworld.blogspot (heehee, honestly I always miss-read it that way) and beuribek.blogspot - but yes no insigndlfljsd-esfsjdkhfjs.blogspot... it's 2 million degrees outside, can't type!

So I've decided to peep my head out into the cold, darkness of the abyss that is cyberspace and see if I have anything at all to live for anymore. Kiddang! Course there's stuff to live for, just not so much on the internet. I was talking to Danny the other day about this and I figured out I think I just prefer good ol' fashioned conversation face to face, with a beer or two, telling odd stories, laughing about time's past and scheming our tactics for world domination. Gosh, I've got so many now and nobody to tell them to! Well, there's a few coolcats 'ere and there.... but but but but BUUUT. Hey it's 2 million degrees outside! I'm allowed to be whiney with everyone else.

So it's 2 million degrees outside. tOO mil-lee-on, I sheizer you not! And our AC is that many years old presently which makes it just plain old spoiled-american-nasty. Kinda reminds me of the good ol' days in MTY when it was 120 and humid and we were oh so frugal that we tried our best to get by with using the AC. Instead, we'd wet towels or sheets, get drenched in the shower, run to our bed by the fan and pray we fall asleep before we dried off. Normally the process was repeated 2 or 3 times before finally fatigue would settle in and we'd dream of a better life in igloos or some such fiddle-faddle. Yeeees, those were the days. How it was survived and continues to be survived by my successors baffles me, but kudos to them. *starts a wave*

Forgot about this

Me looking cheesy as I pose with one of the R2D2 mailboxes downtown. I guess Starwars is celebrating its 30th anniversary, thus fancy shmancy mailboxes. I think it's rather spiffy if I do say so myself.

This song takes me back

And I would like to dedicate to crazy times with Angie Luna. Love you girl and miss you! Perhaps we will be able to relive our Karaoke days of glory one day soon.

Isle of Ewe...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!!

Weather Alerts n Such

Tonight we have a Tornado warning/alert/watch/what-have-you. A first for me! I've never been close enough to anywhere that would have one. It's thundering and lightening-ing... kinda exciting and thrilling. I like crazy weather at night, though I suppose if anything really serious developed I might change my mind. But for now I am pretty content listening to the rain beating down hard and the rumblings in the distance, with 4 furry felines up on the bed with me. My mom and Domi have a little bit of a problem collecting cats. ;) But they are soooooooooo sweet and beautiful!! I've had one sleeping at my feet most nights so I'm getting pretty attached.

Oh well, this is my last night and if I survive it (hehe) I'll be back in Sac this time tomorrow. YAAY! I love these guys a ton, but I am excited to be going home. Missing a certain someone... sniff sniff :( It's good tho, absence is making the heart grow waaay fonder and I'm just happy I have something so great to look forward to.

Bedtime for me kiddos!

Goodnight and sweetdreams

Lazy Sundays

Sisters sisters! 4 outta 5
