Hot as Hades

Man I take back everything I said about Mountain View being hot. Holy crikey it's hot in LA. Right now it's about 10:45 pm and it's still like 88 degrees. 88 degrees at NIGHT. Wow, I'm sitting in my parents living room in just a tube dress and I'm sweating. The fan is on and everything. Yeesh. Anyway, what the hell have I been up to?

Wednesday - work, then headed to City Beach for a mini work off-site! Yay!! It was SUPER hot in there but it was really really fun. To explain, City Beach isn't really a beach. It's an indoor sports facility. So they had volleyball courts, basketball courts, ping pong, pool, bocce ball, foosball, and indoor rock climbing! We were there from about 1-4 and then went to the local bar for a bit. After the bar, I met up with Phill to borrow his big backpack.

City Beach Off Site 8/29/07

Thursday - work, a few meetings, left work at 3:30 pm and headed down to LA! I got gas and washed my car in one of those automated things and hit the freeway. I hit traffic on the way down through San Jose, but the drive was traffic-free the rest of the way. WEE! I stopped once to use the bathroom, then stopped again to eat a quick burger at Carl's Jr and get gas. I got home around 10 pm and then just spent the night doing laundry.

Friday - woke up around 10 am, drove over to Susie's house around 11, got Coffee Bean (yum!), then drove out to South Coast. I was the navigator but I kept getting Susie lost. Oopsie! Sorry Sooz. Hehe, but we finally made it to the Costa Mesa rack! Yay!!! I got lots of fun stuff... I got a really cute jersey/cotton tube dress, a really cute stripey tube dress from To The Max (BCBG), and two pairs of cute underpants. After having a "snack" at Boudin's, we walked around Best Buy, then left to meet up my family for dinner. We had Italian food at Lascalia's or something in Whittier and then after dinner, Susie and I went to Old Town for PINKBERRY *yum, I got a REALLY cute thick grey jacket (even though it's hot as hell here, I can wear it in SF), and we walked around Urban. Now it's about 11 pm and I'm going to head to Dave n Buster's to hang out with Alan and David, I haven't seen either of these guys in like 3+ years. Interesting.

Woohoo Lazy Shopping Sunday

What a glorious lazy day. I woke up around 11:30 am and began doing what I normally do on Sundays. I started checking out the weekly online ads for Target and Best Buy. Best Buy didn't really have anything good and Target was only semi-interesting. But I had lots to do (read: buy) so I left the house around 2 pm and headed over to Serramonte Center in Daly City. First I had a loverly Panda Express lunch to start my mini adventure. Then I headed over to Hollister Co. and tried on a lot of crap but ended up with nothing... this happened again at Bakers and then Victoria's Secret.

But Target of course was the jackpot! I was looking for shorts and a strapless bra from Hollister/VS but instead I found much better (and CHEAPER) versions at Target. I spent so much money at Target... more than I normally do at least. About $150 but I did get a lot of stuff I guess.

Hmmm so what the hell did I do this weekend. Oh yeah, on Friday I was going to go to this Asian American band thingy in the Haight but since it started at 8 pm and I didn't get home until 7 pm, I was too lazy and bailed. So I just hung out on the couch for a few hours and around 10 pm Ellen and I drove down to SJ to hang out with Phill, Louis, and the rest of the gang. We met up at VIP on El Camino and drank until about 1 am. Then after we headed over to this karaoke place and was there for almost 2 hours. So much fun!! This place had all these new songs and some really random country songs that I like. Ellen and I finally got home around 4 am.

Saturday I woke up around 1:30 pm (niiiice) and Ellen made some delicious food for lunch (pancakes, bacon, scrambled eggs). Then we kind of just hung out around the house for a few hours. We headed out to Costco at like 4 pm and picked up the essentials (toilet paper and paper towels) and then went to Nordstrom Rack to look around for a bit. And again I ended up with nothing. I'm getting some bad luck in the shopping dept (except for today at Target I guess). Back home I just hung out on the couch and watched my netflix dvd (Wildboyz Season 1, disc 1). I headed out to Slide around 11 pm to meet up with Cheech, Stef and their friends. Slide sucked because we couldn't get in, so we headed out to North Beach to Dragon Bar and had a shot (yikes) and danced a bit. Then we went next door to Forty Four 3 (stupid name for a club) and were there till closing. It was pretty fun to just dance and hang out.

So that's my re-cap for the weekend. I also had a lovely long phone convo with Sooz yesterday afternoon which was nice. I'm so lazy when it comes to the phone.

Things I bought at Target:

Cute gray shorts $18, strapless bra $16, sports bra $8, Michael Buble CD $12, a new book by Marian Keyes, cotton rounds, contact solution, new contact case, gum, milk, a birthday card for my little cousin's birthday, toothbrush, nail polish remover, kleenex, tuna and crackers snack thingy, lean pockets, crystal geyser drink thingys (there are probably more little things that I forgot to add but I think this list is extensive enough as it is).

New Post for Mother-F'in Brian

yeah yeah yeah. updates! So today is finally Thursday. One day closer to Friday... thank goodness. This week has been... well not TOO shabby, but perhaps a bit stressful. Let's recap the week so far.

Monday - work, gym, Wal-Mart, home, Heroes!

Tuesday - (Ellen's Birthday!), work, home, Ellen opened her presents, Ellen made dinner (kimchee-chigae), went to drop off the rent checks

Wednesday - work, shopping, home. I was supposed to go speed dating but Cheech wasn't feeling well so we skipped it. I also watched the movie Night at the Museum at home. It was pretty lame, but semi-entertaining.

And I guess that's all that really happened this week. Nothing too spectacular. More like craptacular.

Things I Bought for Ellen's Birthday:

Black shirt from Express, alarm clock from Brookstone, blue shirt from AE, piggy bank from Urban

Things I Bought for Camping:

Two Coleman camping bags for only $18 each!

Things I Bought for No Reason:

H&M - PJ Dress $7.90, little stripey shoes $9.90, Black sweater $12.90

Urban - two pairs of Havianas, one black pair $16, one brown pair $20... but they were buy one get the 2nd pair 50% off.

Hopefully I'll have a more exciting weekend update after camping/rafting.
