what the what? or... ¿que el que?

shakira - she wolf?

sounds more like an urban outfitters soundtrack, not my dear colombian lady friend singer chick

lessons learned....

....from the midnight showing of harry potter and the half-blood prince

1. i can't understand english accents all too well

2. the actor that plays professor snape is a carbon copy of my 6th grade spanish teacher, Ms. Rooney (yeah, "Miss" as in lady-gendered teacher)

3. albus dumbledore's death has been added to my top three most dramatic deaths in a (child's) movie. in that list,

a. the death of Mufasa, 'the lion king'

b. the death of Artax the horse, 'the neverending story' (as you may remember from 11.18.07's post: "peace out, artax. stay strong")

and now,

c. the death of albus percival wulfric brian dumbledore, 'hp6'

EDIT

4. icees are delicious and texturally smooth

neat-o!

THIS link from yahoo is the most ridiculous thing i've ever read

first, there's this ridiculous picture in the article that was probably taken in 1956

and then these "cool" tips:

Dance around while getting dressed: Turn up the radio or listen to upbeat music on your iPod (if you can) while doing all your morning rituals—an hour of hip shakin’ can burn about 55 calories.

first of all, what does "listen to upbeat music on your iPod (if you can)" even mean...i was previously unaware that some people are only able to listen to non-upbeat (downbeat...?) music.

and "an hour of hip shakin' can burn about 55 calories"....i have never heard of anyone who takes an hour to get dressed in the morning. but maybe listening to upbeat (not downbeat) makes the whole process of getting dressed so enjoyable you can't help but spend an hour "shakin' your hips"

bottom line: you're weird, yahoo article!

(yeah i realize that article was probably for women....deal with it)

a lil' ill

sup people. 

my bad for being absent, and i'm kinda embarrassed that i'm breaking the blogging fast with the following post, but i can deal.

via uncrate,

this ruehl cardigan...

dang looks classy

as it should, for $118. that's straight up ridiculousness. 

that is all.

other than that, i've been with mild sickness for the past three weeks. like phlegmy times 24/7. i don't think i've ever experienced this before...sick enough to feel sick but still healthy enough to function. does that make sense? hopefully.

kcdc's going well. going by pretty fast...half over already! technically, i am contractually obligated to not post photos of the kids or of leaders, so i will not. apologies to all you stalkers out there

and finally, today is july 12, 2009.

a month ago i was...doing nothing

in a month i will be...in hawaii! holla!

it's hard to believe it's been one year already...crazy sauce!

and now you can blink on command, what a doozy, RKJ

such fortunution!

i'm pretty sure i've told a lot of people, but the other day i got to see Wicked again!

i was with nina that day and earlier we tried to go to the Academy of Sciences using my dad's membership card. but it took me a while to decide whether or not to say i was Randall (and when they would ask for my ID i'd say i left it at home) or if i should tell the truth (overrated) and say i'm randall's son. so i chose The Truth and basically lady denied entrance. rude beezy. why she gotta do her job like that. so feeling unlucky, we went to do other touristy things. like ghiradelli square. and city hall (which has legitimate bathrooms). and then at 5:30 we went to the orpheum to enter the wicked drawing. 

so you write your name on a sheet of paper, and you put it into this uhh...raffle machine? so we crumpled our papers and then flattened them to give them more bulk and dropped them in. and i turn around and who do i see? cindy chan and jeannie sun of cornerstone trinity baptist church! so i yell kinda loudly "JEANNIE SUN!" and good times ensue...for example, there was one man who just straight up lied down on the floor and took a nap. so we made fun of him. 

then they called my name! i was quite surprised. so we all yelled pretty loud. then i got my tickets. but jeannie and cindy didn't get called...which was sad. i was looking forward to seeing it with them. but they went "clubbin" instead, so they had a nice night too. haha

so our seats were for row C seats 5 and 7, and that was the second row (even though it was "C") on the left. and yeah, it was limited view, but i think the only things you couldn't see were the things that happened deeper on the stage. i think i liked this performance of Wicked the best because i think i have appreciation for detail (in costumes and facial expressions) and kinda behind-the-scenes things. so it was cool because we got to see the performers up close (we waved at them whenever they came to our side of the stage...but in a subtle way) and our angle also let us see into the wings. which i REALLY liked. i think it's pretty cool thinking about uhh theater magic and how the props glide in and out as if on they own! and you could see characters skip off stage in character until they know they're not visible then they walk and look tired. and the Roadies (? or stage hands?) they get into it too...one of them was dancing to the music in the most not-cool way. sigh...if i wasn't doing kcdc i'd apply to be a Roady. 

it was a good day. 

and in Wicked they speak in this really weird language that i really like...i'm going to try to copy it. for example, fortunution = fortune. 

it's gonna be hezza wonderiffic.
