this time last year.

so decided to look up what i was doing this time a year ago and 2 years ago. i pulled out my old planners and here's what it said:

march 8, 2007, a thursday, i had a family resources class at kcc at 915 a.m., and then i did recruiting for the blood drive at school at 1030 a.m.

march 8, 2008, a saturday, i did orientation at work from 9-11 a.m. for new employees and then i worked an early shiftfrom 4-10 at the bar and made $153.

march 9, 2009, a sunday, i slept in until around 1130 a.m. since i stayed up until about 5 a.m. working on the aids walk stuff and then pretty much just lazied aroud all day and a couple friends came over before i went to work.

no sleep 'til brooklyn.

if you're ever in ny...you should definitely look for this little dive, it's pretty dope. can't remember the name at the moment.



and guess where the bar is located? [HERE}

gnu-gnu.

i am pretty dang proud of myself at the moment. i just speant the past few house putting together all the aids walk stuff for work. i'm actually pretty excited about it. for the shirts i think i want to do tye-dye. only red and black, and only on the bottom of the shirts. it's probably gonna be a lot of work that i'll have to do, but i'm sure i can find some friends to help.

work was good. i already got some donations for the aids walk fund. :)

i can't believe it's alreayd 423am...where does the time go?

Sagittarius - March 8, 2009

If people start to hassle you or give you a hard time about your appearance today, pay them no mind, dear Sagittarius. You have the right to live your life any way you want to. If that means you want to go around the house in a grubby T-shirt and twenty-year-old sweat pants that haven't been washed in months, then so be it. Feel free to be whoever you want to be.

yay, i'm totally gonna be a bum all day, as usual.

i finally remembered one of my dreams. basically all i remember is being somewhere that was supposed to be like my house and i had some friends over. outside the front screen door i hear, "diane!"...i walked up to the skinny figure and it was the cecenator!

come visit, papapaplease.

Sagittarius - March 7, 2009

Stop hiding behind the intellectual barrier that you may have established for yourself, dear Sagittarius. Playing games will get you nowhere. True strength is being able to stand up and demonstrate that you have the courage to say what you feel in any situation, especially one regarding a close loved one. If you feel the need to say something, say it. Don't wait until the situation escalates to an unhealthy argument before you finally get your feelings out.

MSN Astrology

hmm...idk, we'll see what happens today.

this was the song that originally got me loving mason jennings back in minneapolis...

some history:
at the university of mn in minneapolis one of the classes i was taking was geology. i never really talked much to anyone in my classes at that school, it was just so big with way too many white people,(definitely jk), but really, it was overwhelming. anyway, one day i was randomly taking pictures of the buildings on campus because they're all really old and very "neat-o" (haha). so this boy comes up to me and says he's in my geology class, what am i doing, etc. his name is ben, he was a korean-adoptee and was from iowa. he was very nice and pretty smart and did the whole "coffee shop" scene and he took me to a few different ones when we would study for our biology exams. (coffe shops- i was never really into. i mostly just stayed home because i was cold and lame.) bottom line, this guy was pretty cool and introduced me to mason jennings and to him i am grateful. (because i'm obsessed, remember?)

finally, here it is.
enjoy.

Sagittarius - March 6, 2009

This is an excellent day for you, dear Sagittarius, so live it up. Your ego is strong, and beautiful things are flowing your way in general. You should enjoy a good mood that will attract favorable people and situations. There is virtually no limit to the expansiveness of this day. One thing to watch for, however, is that you don't get too arrogant. Be proud, but don't be obnoxious.

MSN Astrology

sounds like i have a good day to look forward to. i don't see myself being to arrogant lately...if anything i feel ugly and disgusting (new haircut, breaking out, eating a lot, not going to the gym, sleeping a lot, etc.)...but ok, i'll keep it in mind.

nothing too significant i can think of to mention about work. i served a lot of tables, made some money and went home. that was pretty much the jist of it. no hot boys, c.c. or anyone too exciting.

the days fly by; the weeks fly by. wasn't it just friday? and wasn't it just december?

i don't really have any plans for tomorrow night, but i'm honestly looking forward to just that: nothing. or maybe stuff like baking and taxes. sounds like a fine friday to me.

me and others are beginning to believe s.b. could possibly be gay. it's either that or he really has no game. i'm sooo over it. (then why do i bring it up?? idk)

ox.

i'm am the year of the ox in chinese zodiac. my element is wood. i like wood. i like the taste of popsicle sticks, too, since they're wood. i also like trees, which makes sense.
wow. i just realized both my parents (1961) are the same sign (ox) as me.
basically it said i'm going to go through a fine childhood and then encounter some difficulties with marriage, and also in the third part of my life. but, according to the passage, if i can smooth out the last few hard parts of my life my old life will be peaceful. that's good at least.

byodo-in temple

"At the foot of the Ko'olau Mountains stands a replica of a 900-year-old Buddhist temple in Uji, Japan. The graceful vermilion complex is surrounded by the largest Japanese garden outside Japan. At the temple entrance hangs a sobering three-ton bronze bell—ring it before entering the sanctuary to purify the mind of evil and temptation, then meditate to to the nine-foot-tall statue of the Buddha. More than 10,000 carp live in a two-acre reflecting pool and wild peacocks stroll the grounds freely. Admission: USD2 for adults; USD1 for children and seniors."

oi es thursday.

Sagittarius - March 5, 2009

Pay attention to the news today, dear Sagittarius. Be sure to check out not just the mainstream news, but the offbeat smaller, independent publications. Question what you hear and what you read. Take an active role in increasing your own knowledge of the world. Take responsibility for your citizenship by keeping a keen eye out to what is going on. Information is an important piece of the puzzle towards gaining power.

i did pay quite a bit of attention to the news today in news-writing class. i thought more and more about perhaps someday becoming a jourlanist and/or reporter.

i finally got a haircut today. i went to a salon near my house that i had never been to. i really liked the beautician, she was funny and talked a lot (although that is probably pretty common). i wouldn't say i paticularly like the haircut, but that's becaues i just don't like getting haircuts. (although i like how my hair feels more healthy and better afterwards, i don't like that it looks/feels to me...even if no one else can tell). i'm sure i'll forget about it in a couple of days or so though.

white-sided dolphin

the boy, k, told me there was some kind of whiteside dolphin (he's a marine biologist or something). my friend said he was probably making it up to get in my pants...but i looked it up and it's real:
white-sided dolphin

mmm...tofu chanpuru...

Sagittarius - March 4, 2009

You may find that an emotional issue is rubbing you the wrong way today, dear Sagittarius. Your tendency is to want to escape. Try to do so in a healthy manner. Go out and see a movie or read a book. Don't fall prey to the temptation to overindulge in unhealthly substances. This will only push the problems away temporarily. When they resurface again, they may be even harder to handle.

MSN Astrology

HA. haHAha. ahahah. funny.

i was pretty damned lazy today. i forgot to set my alarm last night i guess since none went off this morning and i woke up late. i decided just to skip all my classes since i'd be late for the first one. besides, it was raining, and i was tired and lazy.
i laid around most of the day. first i watched "summer of love", some movie i got at the library about everyone gathering to san fran in 1967 and hippies. it was good and interesting; i liked it.
next i put in rent. it pretty much put me to sleep right away and i would periodically wake up when a really loud and annoying song would play in the movie.
i didn't really do anything productive before work besides finishing one movie and napping. i managed to eat a lot, too.

i went to work and my first table was a couple and the lady was a bitch. first she complained about how the first stall in the bathroom had no t.p., fine, that'd understandable i guess. when she was walking from the bathroom she saw me in the kitched and i dropped a tea bag on the ground and then threw it aside and got a new one. when i went to the table and asked me what i dropped and what i did with it, blah blah, bitch. and then after they got their food i said "how's everything going guys?" (like i always do...) and she leans over towards me and says "don't call us 'guys'," like she was really affended or something, stupid bitch. and i didn't really want to talk to them so this other server checked on them for me and he said he had them before and that they're always like that...and anway, when he went over she complained about how one of the plates had a chip in it. when he appologized she said, "well, it's not your fault, you didn't drop it off to us...", obviously meaning it was MY fault. anyways, she was a fucking bitch.

i got off really early with decent money and decided to go to savers. while i was there a friend and co-worker, called me to see what i was doing. she decided to meet me over at savers and then we decided to eat at a near-by okinawan restaurant we had been wanting to try.
i was so happy to have veggie and tofu chanpuru. it's basically like stir fried vegeatables and tofu, but it's soooo delicious. we even got coffee jello. surprisingly, it was good, too.

i got a few more than a few cups...and a couple of plates and another cool elephant thing at savers. they will get photographed eventually.

tomorrow was going to be my day off until i remember i picked up a shift at ws. hopefully i only work a half day...

i need to get this aids walk stuff organized for work. asap. probably tomorrow night.

and taxes.

the list could go on, but there's no need because i have it written down on like 10 sepereate to do lists right now.

i still have not gone to the gym in maybe almost 2 months now for no reason, just pure laziness. time flies. i feel very sluggish, disgusting and i sleep a lot and still don't have much energy. i know i feel better when i take care of my body and do work out, it's just the making myself do it part is hard. i DO have the time tomorrow.
i'll try.

sadly, still, i haven't been able to remember my dreams much these days. i can remember nothing at the moment.

"K"

an old co-worker/friend of mine whom i don't see very often came in while i was working the other day. about a 1.5 years ago he told me about a friend of his who he thinks is my type...but the friend lived in the mainland.
the friend is moved back, now, and came in with him the other day.

surprisingly, i guess he sort of IS what my "type" would be. we hung out for a little bit late the other night with my other co-workers at a korean buymedrinky-bar. he'll be away for a few weeks and then we're supposed to hang out, so we'll see what happens...

his name: K

beef. it's what's for dinner:

Italian Beef
(got the recipe from: my mama)

1 thick round steak (or roast)
1 pkt. dry italian dressing mix

put meat in crock pot or slow cooker fat side up. Sprinkle with dressing mix. Let cook overnight or all day (low). meat will be very tender. pull apart with two forks to shread meat (remove excess fat). leave juice in cooker and put meat back in. keep warm until ready to eat. serve on rolls with mozeralla cheese slices.

and that, folks, is what's for dinner.

hey, ft.worth, how 'bout a hamon?

for some time i have been occasionally thinking about being a surrogant mother. i've researched about it only a bit.
basically you've got to be healthy, between 20 and 31 years of age, and drug and alcohol free. and the compensation is $5,500.
basically you're getting:
$600ish/month or roughly $20/day. that doesn't seem like very much when you break it down. are my calculations off or something?
oh well.
work went well. nothing significant, though.

Sagittarius - March 2, 2009

Say what is on your mind today, dear Sagittarius, but don't take any personal offense if it seems like no one is listening. Don't bulldoze through with your point. No one likes a whiner. Concentrate on your own goals and aspirations and feel free to push them to the limit. You might have been doing a lot of talking lately and for sure, getting those ideas out there is a great thing. Now is the time, however, when you need to lay some solid groundwork for those ideas to actually manifest.

here's some more ben folds. blast from the past for me.

and dear mar, if you ever read this, this one is for you tiny dancer!

it is now march.

i was kind of grouchy at work last night, not for any particular reason, maybe i was just tired.

Sagittarius - March 1, 2009

A heightened level of intuition and ESP abilities could lead to some interesting conversations with those around you, who could be a bit blown away by your insights into their thoughts, feelings and desires. You could also be feeling more expressive than you usually do, dear Sagittarius, and might want to channel some of that inspiration into writing, speaking, or some other form of self-expression. Reading could also prove especially valuable at this time.

MSN Astrology

agreed.
