| Stuff Sucks |
| 09.30.06 (10:44 pm) [edit] |

All I want to say right now is that stuff really sucks.
And yes, I know getting married is a fun, joyous, blessed, whatever event that many people are attempting to make very plesant for me. However, stuff still sucks and those people would agree. Incidentally, how petty is it to use an offhand gift to try and teach someone a lesson? You must be some kind of passive-aggressive... In conclusion, stuff sucks. Don't worry. I won't be a burden on you people for much longer. |

I need to get caught up on my shower thank yous this weekend.
I also need to get caught up on my skeleton rendering, mushroom painting, and lack of figure drawing skills. Yes. Life is fun. |

Here is how full of shit my morning figure drawing teacher is:
Don't measure or worry about proportions, it will just come to you naturally... This afternoon with a different teacher: All of these drawings are only 4 or 5 heads tall! (Ergo, are complete and utter shit, and what the fuck is wrong with you, you dumbass?!) I hate myself so much. I'm going to fail again, I know it. And I have less than a month to improve. The damn Disability Resource Center refused to test me for a learning disability. I really hate me now. I wish someone would physically punish me somehow for being so inept. Yesterday was a fun day. I spent a gift certificate, which was fun (that is all I will cryptically say about that). And I watched part of a movie about whiny rich east coast white 29-year old people who are FUBAR because of their own irresponsibilities... We left early. Highlights are expensive! Try to think positive. Maybe running around at the last minute for Sven's Adventure to attempt to be in the CSU Media Arts fest will be totally worth it. A month into the semester, I'm no better than when I started...I think I'm worse! Current Mood:  nauseaous

I can't believe I have to be in at work at 11 today for a lousy 6-hour shift!
It's good and bad, I guess. Except I also have a stupid 6-hour mid-day shift tomorrow. And I had a 6-hour closing shift on Saturday, but I now have an 8-hour shift, but that was the day I was going to Muir Woods... Yeah... I don't think I'm going to get recipes off the internet anymore. Some of them, not all of them but some, you follow exactly, and the end result leaves you wondering if the person who posted it left out a step/ingredient or three. I wish I could draw... I've got this sneaky suspicion I'm going to fail the review again. And I'm really sick of my non-illustration teacher saying my drawings look like robots, and not saying something useful like "This here is disproportionate." He cares more about pretty pictures than acurate drawings. Current Mood:blaaah Welp, I'm going shopping after work! |

| Fun Stuff |
| 09.25.06 (10:14 am) [edit] |
|
Saturday was great. I had a shower with my great aunts and all the people on that side of the family. It was at this very old but very neat restaurant called the Riverview. I've seen it many times on the way from Sacramento to Antioch, but never gone. That was pretty fun. Had a great shrimp louie. Got even more fun kitchen stuff. I just wish I knew where I was going to put it all. Kelly came, a little late, but I was still glad she could make it. Then Kelly, Andrea and I took me to the King's Head Pub in Campbell. I had no idea where we were going till we got there. There is a Beatles tribute band that plays there (but they don't dress like them). They were very good. I danced and had fun with that (until I fell). And we drank, ate, drank, (in that order) and were merry. (Except my chicken was a little dry, but everything else was good). Kelly brought along a drinking board game with much drinking, naughty questions, and a lot of things most people would not want to do in public like talking to strangers sounding like an idiot, and other stuff. There is a lot of photographic evidence of all this. But most of it you can't tell what's going on. It seems like everytime I meet Kelly's new boyfriend I'm pissed drunk. There was a guy there dressed like John Lennon off Abbey Road for some reason; his name was Jeff (or Geoff). So much fun was had. Yesterday was a different story. I was shaky and slow when I started working. Plus my ankle was killing me from when I fell. Oh! And I saw Back to the Future for the first time last night! It feels like there is so much stuff to do! I have to draw and render a pelvis (which is not nearly as mind-numbing as a rib cage, finish a painting of my colored eggs, (it's almost "done" we'll see what the teacher has to say), I now have a whole new set of Thank You's to write and I'm not finished with the second set, on Friday morning I'll try and sit in on the LA Fly-Up guy's class to figure out why I suck, and Saturday morning, I'm going to Muir Woods for photo references for my new painting. Yep. Life is fun. Current Mood:  a little tired

| KFRC is dead |
| 09.22.06 (10:47 pm) [edit] |
|
Well, I wrote a semi-long entry about how disappointed I am that when I went to work this morning, for which I was late, KFRC was like I expected, and when I got off work it was playing new overplayed shit.
That makes me sad. And I don't know where my cell phone is so I can't call my mom. I have a shower and a bachalorette party tomorrow. I still don't know what the bachalorette party is. Current Mood:  disappointed.What's on: South Park - City on the Edge of Forever I hope Jeremy calls soon. I need to find that thing. I think Trey Parker and/or Matt Stone are old Star Trek fans. |

Despite knowing that I paid my cable/internet bill last month, late, yes, but paid, the latest bill says I didn't. And apparently there is no record of it on my credit card report.
I am tired of people telling me I didn't do things. Last night I went to bed thinking how shitty life is and how the world was ultimately out to screw you. Current Mood:  crappy

Rather than writing some political thing I was thinking about on the drive home from work today about uteruses being holy (maybe when I'm in a better mood you can be treated to that) however, instead, life happen (again) and I need to vent...
Well, let's see... Because I skipped class, and didn't do anything for a long time in my painting class, I am way behind. I didn't do anything mostly because I had to drive up to Sacramento twice, and was working the rest of the time. On Monday I work at 5, which beforehand is a great time to get things done. However, since Jeremy has the day off that is the only day we have to get our marriage license. In addition, I got a fun letter from the union I am apparently supposed to join and haven't done so yet, partly because I thought I had a month to do it, and apparently, if I don't give them approx. $300 by next Monday, I no longer have a job.... uuuummmmm....what? I have to pay to keep my job?! What sort of bullshit is that? Nobody told me this union thing was mandatory. According to them, somebody did, tho. But seriously, having to pay to keep my job?! WTF?! Welp, put it on the list of things to do for Monday...I guess... Shit. Life sucks. I want to go to bed. But I need to paint...or get up very early. I will convince myself that one day life will be better; we will be able to afford to live, we will be able to see each other, we will both have plan A jobs that we really really want, and we won't have to pay to keep them. And for right now, life just sucks. Current Mood:  distressed
And to contribute to the overall irritability I have been experiencing tonight, due in a large part to the fact that no one came in the store I have to pay to work at after 7:30 making the last two-and-half-hours seem incredibly long, and also due to the fact that there is nothing to eat in this stupid town (except for In-N-Out, who doesn't have a telephone, but instead, a mysterious call center which is probably some girl in prison, or in India but faking an American accent), I can't pay my credit card bill. yes, life sucks. |

I went home day-before-yesterday to try on wedding cakes. That was pretty fun. They gave us 5 good sized pieces of cake to try.
We ended up with white cake with rasberry moose and jelly on the bottom, chocolate and white cake with a fruit filling in the middle, and chocolate with mocha moose on the top. I got my hair done right after that. It looked really pretty. Then I had a shower with my neighbors at Bucca di Beppo. That was a lot of fun. If anyone has the opportunity to get married, do it; it's fun to be the center of attention and get kitchen stuff. I unfortunately had to drive back the next day (although I fortunately didn't have to work until 5). Right now it sounds like I might be holding my breath as to weather I get next Saturday off (which sucks). From what I am gathering, everyone for no apparent reason asked for that day off. I know I haven't been there long but I have a really really good reason for asking for that day off over six weeks in advance; it's a reason so good, I'll never use it again. I am really behind in my classes. It got cold all of a sudden. Jeremy's theatre friends believe that Denny's is some kind of Mecca. Actually, it's more like, one of Jeremy's friends wants to pretend she's cool by hanging out in the same place all the time like on Friends, and she just seems to have everyone else whipped. Hence, Denny's is their place, hence, they can't possibly bring themselves to hangout anywhere else, hence since Denny's is their place they still had to wait 20 minutes for a table and a long time for their food. I guess someone forgot to put the velvet ropes up around their table... Maitence needs to finish fixing the sink in the bathroom; I'm tired of brushing my teeth in the sink. My current figure drawing teacher first of all, can't teach, and second of all, he contradicts much of what the guy who flies up Fridays, because he lives in LA where is figure drawing school is, and spends hours and hours a week drawing, and studied for 20-some years with the best figure drawer of our times. The new guy contradicts the things that the fly-up guy stresses most. Plus it kinda pisses me off when less than two minutes into a 20+ minute drawing, he criticizes the head I just drew that looks like a basketball, only because it's a place holder that will be refined later. Like today (unless his intent was to exaggerate, which he didn't say) he criticized the initial drawing I had, and proceeded to draw a much stiffer and less accurate drawing on top of what I had. So usually I just sit politely while he does his thing and listens, and keep drawing the same way I was before. Current Mood:  fine

Taken from Associated Press:
A recent House of Representatives committee report on Iran's nuclear capability is "outrageous and dishonest" in trying to make a case that Tehran's program is geared toward making weapons, a senior official of the U.N. nuclear watchdog has said. The letter, obtained by The Associated Press on Thursday outside a 35-nation board meeting of the International Atomic Energy Agency, says the report is false in saying Iran is making weapons-grade uranium at an experimental enrichment site, when it has in fact produced material only in small quantities that is far below the level that can be used in nuclear arms. This is how all this makes me feel:

Any "tradition" that involves the restaurant Denny's deserves a closer inspection.
Friends is make-believe TV show. I know this because A. There are minorities in New York City, and B. Nobody with flaky/minimum wage jobs can afford those gorgeous apartments (even if they inherited it from their grandma). Drawing a rib cage is painfully mind-numbing. Current Mood:weird and negative |

| Stop Motion and ABC |
| 09.11.06 (10:22 am) [edit] |
|
Wow! Another movie that uses stop motion animation for its special effects. However, I have found that most directors that use SM tend to so to add to the surrealism as Michael Gondry (who did Eternal Sunshine) has here and whatizface...I love the guy...shit...Wes Anderson! did in Life Aquatic.
The art is not dead! I feel conflicted. I feel like I should ban and stuff ABC for telling outright lies in a so-called "docudrama" produced by hardcore right wingers, but at the same time, who owns ABC? And I keep wishing I could go to Disneyland! I guess it's ok, since that's not going to be happening any time soon... Does anyone else think it's odd that the Fox Network (not News Network) seems more liberal than ABC? I've never understood how Fox Network could have shows like the once controversial Simpsons, In Living Color, and Temptation Island and the Fox News Network. Follow the not-so-slippery-slope logic: Disney has to cater to the GOP. (Although Walt Disney was himself a republican, but that's a different thing altogether), because one of their most profitable assests in Florida, and who is the governor of Florida? And who is he very related to? I wish this country wasn't just one big oligopoly. Something tells me everything wasn't always owned by something bigger. One of the best things about being a media major is that when in doubt, say, "The 1996 De-regulation Act" and you will probably be right. |

They never taught me in training how to deal with a collarless-yet-owned wayward kitten coming into the store, looking for attention, but not particularly wanting to be contained in any way.
Had my fitting on...Thursday. That's the second-to-last time I'll ever wear that dress. Then later on that night my parents and I argued about music; I discussed the list I came up with, and my mom got mad at my dad for liking some of the songs I picked. Apparently, if she has never heard of the song than nobody has and my dad, uncle and I "will be the only one dancing." But what does one expect from someone who primarily listens to showtunes and nostalgia crap? Something about the sunny but windy weather, and taking a long drive Friday morning made me wish I was driving down to Disneyland. I really, really, want to go. My sunglasses broke two days before school started, meaning, since I buy them there is no way I will be able to get new ones anytime soon because I get them in San Francisco, and when I called them they wanted $10 just to ship them. I really miss my glasses. Something about driving north on the sunny day that yesterday was made me wish I was going to San Francisco. Must get to homework. Current Mood:  i don't know...
Edit: I feel like Jeremy and I are very, very, boring people... |

32 more days until the wedding.
And now, a quote, that I think applies to Steve Irwin: There are some old pilots, and bold pilots, but no old bold pilots. At the risk of having all sorts of nasty names thrown my direction from practically anonymous people, I think we are saddened and surprised by his death (particularly the specific circumstances surrounding it) but are we really surprised that he died young at the fate of nasty animal? Another quote: The future ain't what it used to be That one from Yogi Berra. If I do get that 2060 cartoon, and I decide to pump it on MySpace (sometimes, you just have to bite the bullet and become a very shameless self-promoter) that might be my quote. I read a truly disturbing article that I could really turn into something for this thing set in the future. The Spartan Daily sounds like it could be interested in what I may have to offer. That means I've got to get some shit together if I decide to go through with it. Might be good for me; get a taste of "what it's really like." Deal with deadlines, people who disagree with me but have nothing better than an ad hominem attack to come back with... Along those lines, I met probably the closest person to a media analyst that I will ever knowingly see at the grocery, a magazine vendor. (For those of you playing the home game, "vendors" are the people representing their a company who restock the shelves). I just couldn't resist asking her what her opinion was on the Enquirers, Stars, Us's, Peoples and other unimportant crap being right at eye level, but the magazines that just might have something important to say, Time/Newsweek are at knee level. She didn't have a good answer for that. Current Mood:  alright

| Send in your things, people! |

Unfortunately, no one who this frustration is aimed at reads this.
However, it feels like a significant portion of the people who have yet to send in their response cards to the wedding are... our friends. Only one person in my frat has sent his back in, no one else, the theatre managers and one girl from there have, but no one else. Yes, people say they're coming, but it's not hard to send it back in; it's pre-addressed, stamped, all you have to do is say yes/no, and write your name. Plus, I find out that none of those people have responded back to the e-vite to my bachalorette party that Kelly sent. This is why I can't have a good party, I guess. What is it about me, or us? How hard is it to send in your thing when it has been made so incredibly easy?! Why do there have to be so many stupid flaky people out there that just can't respond? If no one from the fraternity (except the one) comes to the wedding, or responds, I'm dropping out. Current Mood:   frustrated and depressed
Maybe people in general are just assholes. There's another girl at work who's getting married the weekend before me, she had a shower last weekend, invited 35 people, two said ahead of time they weren't coming, and the other only people that showed up was her immediate family. People suck. I also suck because I suck at my job. Or at least, taht's how it feels. One good thing that happened was I got caught doing the right thing by a supervisor; declining a tip. |
