i’m definitely NOT a fan of sex and the city. honestly, i’ve watched maybe 2-3 full episodes and didn’t care to watch all of the seasons. however, i did watch the sneak preview today..courtesy of kim. free is free! apparently, this was a big affair. there was a red carpet entrance, cocktails were served, ladies dressed all glamorously [who dresses up to go to a movie??]…and estrogen levels were dangerously high.
the movie wasn’t a let down. i semi-liked it. it was easy to follow without having to watch the series..and it was pretty humorous. i actually got teary-eyed in some scenes, mainly when miranda got cheated on. it hit pretty close to home. it’s not a surprise that this movie evoked a lot of emotion out of me, since i CANNOT SEEM TO CONTROL my emotions anymore. blasted emotions. i need to go relieve some tension, perhaps do something manly…like chop some wood or throw some axes with my feeble arms.
i hate how emotionally dependent i am now. i need to free myself from this because these emotions are causing me to have these expectations that i truly do not want. if that makes any sense.
Memorial Day Recap:
Interestingly enough, after 30 years, my mom was reunited with her cousin. They’ve been catching up a lot being that he lives in Austin and on Monday, he brought down his eldest daughter (my cousin) whom i’ve never met before. it’s great reconnecting with family members. we literally spent the whole day stuffing our faces. we ended it off at kirin’s japanese/seafood buffet. that was amazing. probably not as good of quality as say..miyakos or azuma but it was really good for a buffet. there was sashimi!! i indulged on endless amounts of oysters on the half shell, seaweed salad, salmon/red snapper/tuna sashimi, and other things..a total of 10 plates if you include dessert. i guess that’s not really endless…
i absolutely love this song. the lyrics..are questionable.
‘High-maintenance’ means You’re a gluttonous queen
Narcissistic and mean.
Kill me romantically
Fill my soul with vomit
Then ask me for a piece of gum.
Bitter and dumb
You’re my sugarplum.
You’re awful, I love you!
i’ve always loved and still love the cure. i don’t know if it was robert smith’s crazy hair…or his dark demeanor..but i love how their happier songs are still kind of somber. and most of their songs, especially friday, i’m in love brings back memories of my youth..sitting in front of the television..hooked on music videos.
i decided to be brave and try the fruity pebbles as the topping. should have opted for the fruit but it wasn’t bad. i love fruity pebbles..but i think i’ll just reserve that for breakfast..not on my yogurt.
i’ve also been listening to the sondre lerche albums. absolutely amazing. very partial to his jazz album. love it. i highly recommend all of his albums.
summer has officially started for me. i can finally SLEEP and bum around. there’s also lots of things to look forward to:
- piano. i finally have an abundance of time to work on some new pieces and continue working on my skillz. with a z.
- dtown. i’m going, going, back, back…to dallas! at the end of june and for two weeks at the end of july to visit the boyfriend and friends. kimmie and i have already decided to spend countless days in a drunken stupor. i’m quite excited. quite.
- byc. 2nd year with the camp, first time at the bodhi center for me. it’s going to be bigger than last year! can’t wait!
learning how to cook [and actually cook], customizing munnys, labbits, and dunnys, and catching up on my novels and friends…are also on my agenda…as well as gaming! the land of azeroth awaits for my return.
i’m using a lot of exclamation marks!
pictures from 5.9 at the buffalo bayou stargazing event. too bad there were no visible stars…because it was in the middle of downtown!
i watched the much anticipated Ironman today. it was AWESOME to the nth power. my favorite marvel movie so far. i thought the role fit robert downey jr. perfectly [not to mention he's still hot]. and i’ve been waiting to see gwyneth back on the screen for awhile. she’s one of my favorites…a very humble, classy actress..who happens to be married to chris martin and still manages to keep a relatively low-key private life. i love that song he wrote for their son [moses]..it’s such a great song..check it out! i also got extremely teary-eyed when yinsen died. just another thing to add onto my pansy list.
looking back, i’ve noticed a particular change in my character. prior to february of last year, i was depressed.. i became so numb with pain that i was completely emotionless. i went really cold and refused to cry, feel, smile…literally became a robot. and it worked for me because i could no longer feel anything, which to me..was better than feeling hurt. as soon as i ended it with my ex, it seemed like the floodgates completely opened and i became so flipping emotional! never before did i used to cry during touching scenes in movies, or in books…but now i do damnit. i absolutely despise feeling vulnerable. i cannot believe how often i cry now and how easily i wear my heart on my figurative sleeve because i don’t usually wear shirts with sleeves. and i’m incredibly mushy now…i usually hate the sweet talk but i think i’m an avid giver of it now. ugh. so this is what’s been hiding underneath all this time……a gay little pansy. i love the cheese. wish i had more of it.
also ate at miyako’s today for their 24.99 all you can eat sushi special. my god…willis and i are in a food coma right now. it was great! and this lychee sake we had…sooooooo goood. mmmmmm….orgasm in my mouth. eww, that doesn’t sound right.
long distance is incredibly hard. it’s been a bit easier than before and i have adjusted but it’s still very difficult. there’s just so many things that i want to do and things that i am doing without him..and things he’s doing without me. really sucks.
i think it’s the pansy in me that’s talking…usually peaks around this time
Thursday – i actually went out. amazing isn’t it? i went to bambou to check out willis’ and stevie’s event. i really enjoyed the setting. the lights were trippy! i was fixated on this spotlight that made little stars in a circle around the room. very modern feel inside. also had a adios motherfucker (which is equivalent to a long island but sweeter and blue) and some VERY potent jager bombs. gross.
Friday- had my birthday dinner with the family. i was craving bò 7 món, so we went to eat at saigon pagolac. mmm so good. it was nice having dinner with my parents and brother, i rarely eat dinner with them..so it was great catching up. my brother wrote me a very touching memo:
“First, I hope you have a wonderful birthday, you deserve it! I ask only one thing of you sis, live your life with passion–you have the ability, courage, and intelligence to chase any dream you want. Be fearless in everything that you do and great things will come your way. I love you always”
made me cry
Saturday- after work, went over to connie’s to meet up randy and carol….to go all the way to tomball for charlie’s crawfish boil. so far! my goodness. the drive was torturous. we stopped by spec’s on the way there to pick up some drinks. randy purchased this supposedly top notch vodka [that happened to be on sale] and according to the owner was distilled 250 times. sounds fishy eh? so, we were excited to taste it and upon arriving at charlie’s..we find the same exact vodka in the cooler. must be good right? WRONG. randy and the other guy who bought it got duped. needless to say, it was put to good use though…they concocted a ‘crawfish shot’ which consisted of a crawfish tail..and cajun seasoning in the vodka. gangsters.
for some reason, we were talking about fauns and to my understanding…i always thought that was a baby deer but it’s a mythical creature [half-man/half-goat] that’s similar to a satyr. we were also talking about how we used to play bloody mary as children and candy man..ugh..creepy. we were telling ghost stories on our drive back from tomball. ever played blue baby? don’t do it!
geez we ate so much crawfish. and miracle whip is a poor substitution for regular mayo. all i could taste was the miracle whip. gross. we ended the night at crome. surprised to find almost everyone there [including cabangbang and JACKIE!]
all in all, a great weekend. im looking forward to sushi today!
