check out google...pretty in halloween decorations as usual.



i hope everyone can enjoy tonight, even though it's hard to party in the middle of the week. i'm excited to do the usual hanging out, dressing up (as rainbow brite!!), and answering the door for the cute trick or treaters. i made halloween cuppicakes last night (some have chocolate cat peeps and some have ghostie peeps in the top!!) and have the simpsons halloween dvds ready to go for tonight.

"Because we do not know when we will die, we get to think of life as an inexhaustable well. Yet everything happens a certain number of times, and a very small number, really. How many more times will you remember a certain afternoon of your childhood, some afternoon that is so deeply a part of your being that you can't even concieve of your life without it? Perhaps four or five times more. Perhaps not even that. How many times will you watch the full moon rise? Perhaps twenty. And yet it all seems limitless." - Brandon Lee during his final interview

all right kiddies, it's time for a little trip down memory lane. as a few of you might know, the crow is one of my top 10 favorite movies. i remember knowing it was coming out, and i couldn't wait for a comic book to come to screen before my eyes. that, and the whole hoopla about brandon lee passing away while making it. i actually remember taking my dad to see it for father's day at the super saver theatre in freakmont. i just haaaaad to see it one more time on the big screen. random!! it's such a great mix of darkness which i think the original story has, and sarcastic one liners like any good comic book.

every devil's night, i watch it. it's pretty cool to only watch it once a year, and on the day the movie takes place. i just finished this years viewing and made it through without any tears. i usually get chocked up at the end when he and shelly are together again. le sigh.

i think the first halloween after the movie came out, i decided to be eric draven. i was like 13 or 14 and so pumped. i remember i was walking down one street when i saw another guy dressed up like the crow walk past me. he was an adult, and dressed EXACTLY like the movie. he did a cute bow to me, and walked away. i always thought it might have been brandon lee.

in preparation for today, i listened to the soundtrack on my way to and from work. that might be the first soundtrack i ever purchased, come to think of it. it's so tight with the cure, henry rollins, and rage against the machine. only about half of the songs are good, but it's a great listen. :)

i think this movie sort of helped grow the idea in my crazy head that no matter what, true love will prevail. hold your special someone close tonight and don't ever give up a chance to tell them how much they mean to you. xoxoxo.

Yesterday
Love was such an easy game to play
Now I need a place to hide away
Oh, I believe in yesterday (yesterday, the beatles)

hee hee, so i forgot to mention my funny story from friday. i wore my super cool CANADA track jacket to work because i am that awesome. i guess it looks like i'm officially canadian or something an olympian would wear because someone asked me about it. this guy walking next to me said, "what team are you on?" why oh why did i allow myself to reply, but i told him, "the cuddling team." he nodded and kept on walking, maybe thinking i said curling.

wow, why do i say such random things?? so yeah, i'm officially on the canadian cuddling team. cause, you know, it's cold in canadia-land. what else are you going to do up there?? :)

Spend all your time waiting
for that second chance
for a break that would make it okay
there's always some reason
to feel not good enough
and it's hard at the end of the day
I need some distraction
or a beautiful release
memory seeps from my veins
it may be empty
or weightless and maybe
we'll find some peace tonight

You're in the arms of the angel
fly away from here
from this dark cold hotel room
and the endlessness that you fear
you are pulled from the wreckage
of your silent reverie
You're in the arms of the angel
may you find some comfort here (angel, sarah mclachlan)

when i was about 13, i thought i saw an angel in a cemetery. i remember i only saw her for a moment. i did a double take when my brain registered what i saw. when i turned around, she was gone. she was totally white, and in this same position.



i still wonder if she were real. and what would be so sad that would cause her to cry like that. i thought that she should be happy because that person is now in heaven with her.

Couldn't take the blame.
Sick with shame.
Must be exhausting to lose your own game.
Selfishly hated,
No wonder you're jaded.
You can't play the victim this time,
And you're too late.

Don't cry to me.
If you loved me,
You would be here with me.
You want me,
Come find me.
Make up your mind.

You never call me when you're sober. (call me when you're sober, evanescence)

i keep hearing this song on the radio, and thank goodness not in a bad way. the more i hear it, the more i sing it and just plain rock out. i finally google'd the band and found out amy lee is younger than me!! holy shit...i thought she was like 29 or 30. their stock just went up a little higher in my book.

i love how he's looking into her eyes and holding her. this is so breathtaking!!



oh yeah, it's a painting from a brothel in pompeii.

You've got your ball,
You've got your chain
Tied to me tight, tie me up again.
Who's got their claws
In you my friend?
Into your heart I'll beat again
Sweet like candy to my soul
Sweet you rock,
And sweet you roll
Lost for you, I'm so lost for you

Oh, and you come crash into me (crash into me, dave matthews band)

soooooo, speaking of crashes, i almost got into a huge one driving home today. there was a ton of traffic on 880, as there always is, and we were finally speeding up a bit. the car in front of me was going about 50, and i started doing that as well. all of a sudden, they slammed on their brakes, but veered off into the two right lanes because they were going to hit the car in front of them. all i see is that car going nuts, and all of a sudden a car in front of me!! i'm totally gonna hit it, so i slam on my brakes as fast as i can. um, can we say thank goodness that i just got my brakes fixed this weekend?? i was so grumpy about paying for things for my car, but now i see why i should be happy.

oh yes, so i'm about to hit the car in front of me when my car starts pulling to the right a bit. i'm trying not to go into the next lane, but i'm somehow forced to. in doing so, i miss the car in front of me, but now i'm in a new lane and i don't know if i'm going to hit anyone there!! it's the carpool lane, and not too many cars had driven by in a while. luckily the guy in the carpool lane had tons of room on the shoulder, and pulled over there as i sort of merged into that lane. i was pretty amazed that nobody else got hit in front or behind me. which makes me wonder...would i have been at fault for hitting that car even though the car in front of me jacked me up?? i wasn't too close to them, but them slamming on their brakes and going into two other lanes of traffic sure means they weren't paying attention. wow, i'm so thankful that nobody was hit or hurt, and especially for the driver in the carpool lane who saw what was going on. i owe you a beer, buddy!! :)

i'm not sure i have the words to describe how cute this is. i think there should be unicorns prancing around on clouds as hearts float through the air or something.

Here comes the sun,
here comes the sun,
and I say it's all right (here comes the sun, george harrison)

it is another beautiful and sunny day in the bay area today. no doubt that this is the most amazing place in the world to live.

i love that i have another weekend of enjoying the pool and soaking up some rays, yet still enjoying crisp fall weather soon.

i hope to enjoy this day by reading, swimming, reading, painting my toenails, reading, and going for a walk. i love my life, and so happy i can enjoy a whole day to myself.

because i hate it when sports writers are wrong...

my mom showed me an article in the sports section of the argus today, and i really had to laugh out loud. some writer basically said that stanford football isn't winning because they are an academic school. excuse me?? it's not like they've never been to a bowl game, stat boy.

i had to reply...and i did via email back to the paper. see below. (i had a limit of 100 words, or i really would have made about 400 other points. promise.)

Art Spander's article on how Stanford is "an academic institution, not an athletic factory" on Sunday, October 15, 2006 was laughable. As a true blue Cal fan, it pains me to point out that Stanford has won 12 consecutive Directors' Cup titles. The Directors' Cup is awarded to the school with the top overall athletic program.

Stanford football may not be winning games, but don't forget where Cal was during the 2001 season: 1-10. It's quite obvious that Stanford is going through a drought, and the blame does not need to be placed on such an erroneous generalization.

p.s. it was really hard not to type stanFUrd each time, but i was a good girl. :)

If I had a million dollars we wouldn't have to walk to the store
If I had a million dollars we'd take a limousine 'cause it costs more
If I had a million dollars we wouldn't have to eat Kraft dinner
"But we would eat Kraft dinner."
"Of course we would, we'd just eat more."
"And buy really expensive ketchups with it."
"That's right, all the fanciest Dijon ketchups."

If I had a million dollars (If I had a million dollars)
Well I'd buy you a green dress (but not a real green dress that's cruel)
And if I had a million dollars (If I had a million dollars)
Well I'd buy you some art (A Picasso or a Garfunkel)
And if I had a million dollars (If I had a million dollars)
Well I'd buy you a monkey (haven't you always wanted a monkey?!)
And if I had a million dollars I'd buy your love (if i had $1000000, barenaked ladies)

okay, just so everyone knows, i am moving to los gatos. with of course, my rich husband and we can make lots of babies. of course this may never happen, but it's now my new dream. :)

i got to visit the beautiful katy at her lovely parents house in los gatos. driving there, my mouth was open, just completely in shock at how pretty these houses were!! they were in the foothills with lots of land, and totally adorable. sigh.

we hung out for a bit, and she took me to a really yummy italian place downtown. my chicken artichoke was to die for!! mmmmmmmm!! a friend of hers said hi to us as he walked in, and then sat with another guy. after our meal, katy and i said hi to them, but right before we did she said, "oh yeah, this other guy is the qb for stanFUrd." i thought she was kidding, and we went over and chatted for a bit. i didn't remember what the qb looked like without his helmet on, so i decided not to say anything in case i didn't hear her right. turns out when i searched for him online after, it totally was. hee hee!! i prolly wouldn't have said anything mean, anyway. it's not his fault he doesn't have anyone to throw it to. he's just like favre this season.

after dinner, katy showed me around downtown a bit. the big, old trees all had white lights in them, and the streets were full of cute botiques and small restaurants. we walked by a candy store (that was still open at 9:30) and i pretty much had a heart attack. it was just like the saying, "like a kid in a candy shop." i went NUTS!! they had these really hard to find treats!! stuff they sell in england, belguim, canada, only in the northwest US...you name it, they had it!! well, except for dr. pepper gum, but i think they don't make that anymore. it was great to find all these amazing treats that i had enjoyed as a small child. i got a lot of things for halloween fun bags, too!!

so yes, in short, i had a great time with katy and i hope we can hang out again soon!! also, i am in <3 with los gatos. sigh.

if you haven't seen the stupid p. diddy clip on youtube about him/youtube/burger king...get your ass over there and watch it. be sure to watch the lisa nova clip totally baggin on p. diddy right after. that woman is HI-larious!!

i stuffed my face with some very yummy sushi tonight and my tummy is sooo happy. horray for maki and bonzai rolls!! i actually got it all to go cause i had to bring a lot back for the fam, and the lady gave me edamame and tea while i waited. they know how to keep this girl comin back for more!! :)

my perfect guy:

*nice forearms like johnny bravo
*sensitive, romantic, and a great kisser like luke wilson
*dirty like jason mewes
*wants me to shake my moneymaker like luda
*hockey smart and not afraid to tell the refs what he really feels of them like drew remenda
*hilarious like dane cook
*great smile like brett favre
*loves jesus like a good boy should
*a cuddler like elmo
*someone who won't rest until i'm in his arms like prince eric from the little mermaid
*fine like jonathan cheechoo

okay, i'll "settle" for jonathan cheechoo. siiiigh. if i have to. ;)

also, this dude must be able to run the gauntlet of like 20 of my closest guy friends/family before he's deemed acceptable. so take that into consideration before sending just anyone to my door.

thanks everyone!! hee hee!! :)

and on the walls
shadows play
twilight souls
anguished ways
lost adrift
severed seas
i await you
come to me (the bazaar, the tea party)

the sharkies are playing right now and i'm soooo happy!! they introduced all the players playing tonight at the tank, and erik and i were so pumped to see vlasic!! we saw him against van, and loved calling him pickle boy. you can imagine my excitement when i saw him playing tonight, and at the tender age of 19!! the only way to make that any cooler was seeing which number he was wearing. yes, sucka...44!!

not a whole heck of a lot is new with me. i'm trying to keep my ankles extra warm to see if that helps the achiness. i'm not sure it's helping, but it's always good to be extra cuddled up!! uhhh, what else. i gave blood on saturday, donated my hair yesterday...who wants a kidney?? :)

and on that note, i bring you your moment of zen. brought to you by the beautiful rebecca. i told her i had to donate at least 10 inches of hair. this was her reply: Never heard a complaint about an extra 10 inches. athankyouverymuch.

ON WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON AND WEDNESDAY EVENING.

blah blah blah, i took a bunch of crap out

IF THUNDER IS HEARD...SEEK SHELTER INDOORS OR INSIDE A VEHICLE.
LIGHTNING KILLS MORE PEOPLE EACH YEAR THAN HURRICANES AND TORNADOES.

oh holy crap!! lightning lightning lightning!! i said it three times so it's true!! hee hee!! i really hope we have some today or tomorrow. but i hope it doesn't kill anyone. i had no idea it killed so many people!! stay indoors and grab your favorite stuffed animal!! ahhhhhhhh!!

She was a fast machine
She kept her motor clean
She was the best damn woman I had ever seen
She had the sightless eyes
Telling me no lies
Knockin' me out with those American thighs
Taking more than her share
Had me fighting for air
She told me to come but I was already there (you shook me all night long, ac/dc)

which reminds me of a simpsons joke:
otto: hey lisa, how do you spell: ac/dc?
lisa: a-c-d-c.
otto: naw man, you forgot the lightning bolt.

i just came back from crazy-time at safeway. if you shop at the one next to 5 corners, you know what i'm talking about. they've been remodeling for what feels like years, but i'm sure is at least in its second month. the first thing i noticed since the major changes have now been completed is that it looks just like the one i shopped at in vancouver!! the cashier randomly told me that they're all supposed to be universal now. so you can walk in one in canada, and know which aisle the cupcake mix will be on. fantastique!!

and since i'm being totally random in this post, i noticed that i'm more forgiving than i thought i was. i actually will go out of my way to be really nice to people who have wronged me and i think this has been going on for quite some time!! this does not apply to assholes who cut me off when there's nobody behind me. i usually grumble mean things under my breath and then forget about it. hee hee!! :)

i am turning into such the selfish baby...but this is what i really want right now. and damn it, it's my blog so i can say whatever i want!!

*someone to tell me everything will be okay
*someone who will give me a hug and a backrub
*someone to make me a cup of tea and cuddle with me for a bit

gah, i'm incredibly tired and drained and i need someone to take care of me!! :(

Don't cry to me.
If you loved me,
You would be here with me.
You want me,
Come find me.
Make up your mind.

You never call me when you're sober.
You only want it cause it's over,
It's over. (call me when you're sober, evanescence)

i heard the above song for the first time a week or two. i remember first thinking, "you never get calls when this guy is sober?? how much does that suck??" anyway, it's such a great song to sing in the car...when the radio can drown me out, of course. i have no idea why i like singing it so much. maybe it's because the melody is so powerful. i sure haven't had much experience with someone not calling me when they're sober, though. i have had someone only tell me his true feelings when he was drunk, but that's a whole other nightmare.

for some reason, i am really looking forward to fall!! i usually hate fall since it signals the end of pool use, cute skirts and flip flops...some of my favorite things. but i do love the cloudy mornings, crisp air, and halloween!! unfort, my ankles are already starting to feel this colder weather and are a bit sore. nothing too painful, but enough to notice!! i'll just have to try to keep them extra warm this time around.

well, i've got a shitload of work to do, and i'm not too happy about it!! it's a beautiful day and i'd much rather be doing things i enjoy. hopefully i can get most of this done now so i can maybe get some reading done tonight. maybe some coffee will get this girl going today. :)
