New POLO shirt

I saw this in the June 18th TIME magazine and I have to admit, its pretty niceee. Its called the 'POLO Match Shirt'. What's up with the general polo logos and symbols today? Didn't EXPRESSmen uplifted their 'royal lion' logo into a larger on their polos? As a matter of fact, I recently bought one just like that from EXPRESSmen. It was on sale too. Oh yeah bitches.

Acrata's Oyster Fest

Today was the Oyster Fest in Arcata. (did you know that there's a town law that was passed a while ago that stopped corporate businesses to not come into the town anymore?) they still have some businesses like Bank of America that opened before that law was passed.

Welcome to hippie-ville.

Anyways.. I went with jeff and his co-workers.. We mainly just walked around the vendors selling food and types of oysters, like grilled, fried, raw, etc.. I had a fried prawn sushi roll. I love it. I've had it before when I went to Roy's in Orange County. It was cloudy that morning.. But the sun came out later, thanks to the gusty wind.

We all went to Healthsport gym afterwards and played my first racquetball game. Its actually pretty fun, I was good at it, since I made a bunch of points and I used to play tennis..

Yeah. And I didn't eat any oysters. Yuck.

Eleven '7-Eleven' stores become Kwik-E-Marts to sponsor The Simpsons movie!

As part of The Simpsons Movie’s marketing efforts and promotions, the convenience store chain 7-11 proposed a plan to change eleven of their 4700 stores into Kwik-E-Mart imitations, which would even feature and sell Simpsons products such as Buzz Cola, Slurpees served in Squishee cups and Krusty’o cereals.

Kwik-E-Mart, a fictional chain of convenience stores on the animated series The Simpsons, is owned by the Indian American fictional character Apu Nahasapeemapetilon. Over the years, viewers have watched various story lines that have taken place on the highly priced convenience store. Even though the items are quite pricey, Homer and the gang consistently drop by and patronize the said store. Now, avid Simpsons fans can enjoy edible Simpsons commodities in an accessible and convenient manner.

Other promotional strategy of The Simpsons: The Movie is the hosting of a contest which would determine in which Springfield city The Simpsons: The Movie will premiere in.

The much-awaited Simpsons movie is scheduled to open in the United States in July. Meanwhile, avid fans can catch the whacky family every Sunday at 8/7c on FOX.

"Don't you know that you're Toxic?"

(hahaha.. a random dance video i happened to spontaneously record at that time..)

WTF is a Lotus doing here?

Yeah, I was a bit surprised today to see a Lotus car parked near starbucks. I thought to myself, the reason why its here is because the owner probably lived down in south cali and couldn't handle the traffic and couldn't handle the car. I thought it was funny how it parked right in front of some fucked up pickup truck. I admire the car, one of the reasons why people buy them for.. But to bring it in this small hippie town is just for some cheap ego-boost.

There's another "Washed-Up" californian for ya.

Panhandlers are IDIOTS.

I saw this Eurekan walking to our car. We immediately closed & locked our doors. She came up to our window and we just shooooed her away. She's going to every person walking in the parkinglot. The employees at Staples said she's been doing that for 6 months telling the same story. Her family died and she needs money to travel. Yeah. Totally working out for ya. Get a job you meth-head.

"TAR-BUCKS"

I'm in Target. At the "licenced starbucks". I'm on unfamiliar and very bad territorty. There's one barista working and it seems she doesn't even know what she's doing. She couldn't even repeat the woman's order, as the woman gave weird glances at what the barista was doing while making drinks.. There's a long line of people waiting and a few are leaving. Probably going to a REAL starbucks. Good choice..

Another drug bust. How typical..

After picking up jeff from work. Its 1:30 late at night. It's so quiet that you can hear the ocean (and any type of loud noises.. Such as drunken fights between couples out in front of their houses, the loud 'vrooming' exhaust/tailpipe sounds of cheap cars as they go 20mph down the streets, etc..). We drove down old town Eureka on hwy 101 and passed by a police car with 2 sheriffs, a suspect handcuffed and laying on the trunk of the policecar. There was a black Scion tc, I think, with the trunk open and clear plastic wrapping paper (or saran wrap however you spell it) literally everywhere. You can tell that the cops checked for everything. I thought the cops in this town were leniant on the 420 and drugs.. But after seeing that tonight. I'm glad they're doing their jobs..

I'm allergic to this place..

*cough* *cough*

i knew something was wrong the moment i got off the plane when i arrived back in Humboldt County here in North California. my coughing started. my throat wasn't irritated at ALL during my trip in North Carolina.

now i'm back here, and my coughing is really bad. i don't know if it's bronchitis. my tonsils aren't swollen. it's just that whenever i breathe (apparently i must do this to live..), i cough. then another cough. repeated coughs until i lose my breath.

i can't live off of HALLS Fruit Breezers forever.. although, i've been eating them like candy for the past few weeks.

i'm allergic to Eureka. i was told that it might be the pollen, the mold, the paper/pulp mill (that spews out white clouds [maybe toxic vapors?] from it's towering smokestack near the Samoa Beach area). i'm not allergic to anything. *knocks on wood* But being here has made me sick very often. unusually more than usual. Jeff has been sick at least 5x. and i rarely get sick. the last time i was sick was probably more than a year ago since i've moved here to Eureka.

Do you think that people here are dying? I suppose. Slowly dying.. the stores are closing and moving down. i saw an auto dealership that used to be full of cars suddenly abandoned (like who can afford nice cars here? everyone has 'dinged up and fucked up' looking cars).

hopefully there will be a chance for me & jeff to move outta here right after this summer. i hope. i seriously can't take it.

a day or so ago, a regular came in and we started talking about how i ended up living here from North Carolina. i get this question SOOOO MANY times. it's not fuckin' funny. and of course, i can't tell strangers something like this: "well, to be honest with you.. my boyfriend was hired for job here and i happened to come along because we are obviously in a relationship". Well, that's pretty awkward to tell someone. I'm out, but i'm not like FLAMING out. i don't play that homie. i still act professional, whether you know that i'm gay or not. Anyways, i usually tell them that he's my roommate who got a job here and i 'spontaneously' wanted to experience California since i've never been here before. that's partially true.

well, i lost track of what i was writing about. i'm taking a break (again) just to type this. sipping on a cup of orange juice, and that's soothing my throat. i haven't coughed since i've started typing this entry. so that's cool.

that's it for now.. i really don't want to spend my entire summer dealing with classes. i'm starting to feel like i should just temporarily stop my online classes at NC State for this Fall. until i resume classes again ON campus and in a REAL classroom, where i can fall asleep in class.. haha. I'm also thinking about transferring to a new college once i move somewhere different back on the east coast.. maybe in Miami? i wish. i really don't know. i can only hope..

CHANEL Cruise 2007/08 Fashion Show

..and to think, you thought that fashion shows involved a runway walking to 'point A' and back to 'point B'. well, this show was definitely in the runway category.. at the Santa Monica Airport in Los Angeles.. haha.

On a break again..

I really like the pic of me slightly smiling above. Its cute :)

I'm on a 10 min break. Sippin' on a dulce de leche frapp again. Not a light, heh. Way to ruin a great workout after going to the gym huh? Lmao.

There's nothing interesting going on now that I'm back here in California. I did have sooo much to talk or write about during my NC trip though, as you can tell from my multiple posts from last week..

Break's over. g2g.

Green Tea Lattes & Hanjia!

Yumm.. I save a bunch of cash when I buy thai noodles from Target instead of going to Subway each time I'm on my lunch break at starbucks. :)

Reno, Nevada copies NCSU wolf mascot logo!

In the News & Observer newspaper, an article about this copyright lawsuit about a college in Reno, Nevada using a similar wolf as their school's logo. In this case, it is NC State's wolf used with a tophat instead of the NCSU cap. Their team is called the 'wolf pack' with 2 words and NC State is one word, the wolfpack.

Well, that's lame. Get your own wolf design Reno.

Dolce & Gabbana 4018: my new obsession

this is what i fucking want.

the Dolce & Gabbana 4018 sunglasses.

it's so hot. i love it. and with it's interesting shape and design, it's perfect for me and i can definitely pull it off, unlike typical ppl.

i compiled these photos from the Dolce & Gabbana website, since the ones on eBay weren't photographed well.. and my 1st choice is obviously at the top!

and i happened to fall in love with it after i tried them out at the Dolce & Gabbana store on Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills. believe me, they're sooo much better with the Swarovski crystals on the D and G. especially the brown frames. i wonder if they have a Swarovski style for each of the frames..

it's like priced between $200-$250, but costs a lot more with the Swarovski frames. (which is why my Chanel 5085-b's are wayyyy expensive and RARE too!!! they're finally DISCONTINUED!!! .. you can't find something like mine anywhere. and if you're lucky, you manage to see someone wearing it. but i doubt it.)

NEW Juicy Raspberry at Starbucks!

Overworked and no time for Myspace..

i'm a bit scared to check my myspace account. i haven't logged into it since before i left for my trip to North Carolina. i actually tried to resist being actually 'online' during my trip. i didn't want to do my online summer classes & homework. i didn't want to do myspace. i didn't want to do anything other than fiddle around my Treo phone and post blog entries. that's about it. haha.

i do want to go on myspace. but if i do, i'd have to devote a couple of hours to respond to everyone and accept the friend requests. i'm guessing i'll have more than 13 pages of friend requests (which was the amount the last time i was gone for a week).. and about 6 pages of messages.

oh shit, i feel lightheaded as i type this. i just finished watching some video lectures from my philosophy class and realized i have to re-read about 42 pages from my textbook and like 65 pages of an PDF article again because in order to do a good job on the quiz, i have to know what im being tested on. LOL. so i guess you've guessed it, i've already forgotten what i've read.

im telling you, i have like a limited amount of space in my brain. i have like 60GB of brain storage. i gotta delete the old files to make room for more interesting ones. like porn. hahaha. im joking.

Calculus 2, Philosophy & a Math lab. those are the 3 classes i'm taking this summer. it fuckin' blows because i wish i WASN'T taking anything. i just want to relax and work at starbucks. to NOT have to wake up early just to do hw during the summer is desirable.

my feet hurt. i've spent the last few minutes during my philosophy 'class' rubbing the arch of my feet. i wish i had some foot massager from the Sharper Image or Brookstone. heh. or maybe a foot massager/spa thing from Bed Bath & Beyond. my mom has one. i should probably ask her if i can have it, if she doesnt use it. heh.

anyways. time for a calc 2 video lecture. i watch em thru dvds. recorded back in 2003. to teach a class without having to actually teach. it's genius! and i still pay tuition for doing this class. cheap lazy bastards. haha. but that's how college is.

damn calculus 2. i fucking hate you.
