halloween

2009-11-03T18:03:09Z

i watched paranormal activity and it was legit stupid the last 10 minutes was good but other than that. i was originally going to have a movie marathon by myself on halloween but my roommate called me and invited me to this house party. when i was done watching paranormal activity our carbon monoxide detector fell from our ceiling so i had to go downstairs to file a maintenance report. while i was down there i swear someone smelled like weed. oh california how i miss thee. anyway i walked to the house party in my halloween costume and it was packed. i met this really cool dude though who's moving out to california or something. he's legit cute. anyway i was really hammered by the time my friends and i left and of course i didnt bring my id with me so i couldnt get into the bar that they were going to. so i opted to go home.
here is where i dont remember much. i remember walking home. but i dont remember actually getting into the apartment. i remember sitting on the couch and getting in the shower. thats about it. this is what my roommate said she saw when she came home. i was passed out on the couch in a towel she said she woke me up and i went to my room and got dressed. i remember skypeing with her boyfriend and his friends. i dont remember moving my purse and stuff into my room but i lost my cell phone for like 3 hours and couldnt for the life of me remember where it was. then i found it under a chair in the apartment. figures.
what a great halloween though.

say hello to the booties of my dreams

2009-09-22T20:11:52Z

sam edelman's knock offs of the balenciaga booties are, i think, sooooo much better. even if the price tag is steep $345 to be exact, eeep! i want these babys so bad ugh a long with about forty other things. but just wow what a beautiful pair of shoes.

on another note ive started using ebay last night at about 11pm. i need winter clothes and have no money. so i am going to use the couple of dollars in my paypal to find some good deals. but of course the first thing i buy isnt even for winter. damn. but i got a vintage caftan mini dress so excited to wear that around. its gonna look so good hot damn. i go back home kind of soon. 2 months. thats not too bad though. im kind of excited. im working on getting a nice camera so that i can start using my chictopia account. i wore such a killer outfit today. however walking 5 blocks in 4.5 inch heels for groceries wasnt a great idea. especially without socks.

hopefully ill have the time to explore the city this weekend. more importantly fill my tummy with dairy queen. mmmmm.

Golden Globes 09

2009-01-18T02:04:57Z

Alright so the post some people have been waiting for, my recap of teching at the 2009 Golden Globes!! :)

Alright so my dad and a friend of his have a satellite truck and do shit for news stations. They did the Critics Choice Awards this year as well. So I drove up on Saturday night at about 6.30 and it was a 2 and 1/2 hour drive up to Marina Del Rey which was where they were sleeping for the night. I got there at exactly 9pm and that was when my dad said he was going to be in bed by so it all worked out. We slept on the couch with the dog at my feet. We had a 4am wake up; therefore my dad and I went to sleep at about 10. Before going to bed he showed me some video and photos from the Critics Choice Awards. I wish I had gone to those because they were right at the barrier. It probably would've been really cool to go.

We woke up at 4 and had some cereal. The wake up call wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. I was up and energized and so were the other two. We left at 4.30 and arrived at the Beverly Hilton at 5am just in time to park in the back before they locked up the lot and closed down the street. I was sent on a mission to get 9volt batteries in which I had to drive my father's Escalade. I couldn't see over the hood and i didn't even get out of the lot because it was lock unbeknownst to myself and the rest of the crew. So I never had to go get those 9volts. Awesome.

they were parked behind us.

So for the most of the early morning I was running equipment from the truck to the two channels' spots we were working for, Channel 9 Australia and BBC. I also ran some wires from the box to our spots as well. That's all I was doing for the first seven hours. By the time 11am came around there were a lot of other channel crews there setting up. I met the cameramen and the correspondence lady. They had nice accents. 11am meant sitting at the BBC spot testing equipment making sure it actually worked. I worked on heatsets and earpieces mostly.

So I didn't have proper credencials which meant a badge which where I could and couldn't go because I had to have been up there the thursday before and they weren't willing to just make me one right there. So I had a wristband that let me stay on the red carpet until 3pm and when 3pm came around no one kicked me out so I was able to stay there until after the pre-show was over which was around 6pm.

I saw a lot of people go by on the red carpet: Tom Hanks, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, Debra Messing, most of the cast of the Office, Anne Hatheway, the Cyrus family, and a lot of people that looked familiar but I couldn't place. I'll definitely have pictures up that I took when I see my dad on Thursday.

All in all, I had a lot of fun and hope to do more teching in the future.

I had my dad run me back to my car in Marina Del Rey so I could drive home and be back at a decent time. The drive home was uneventful but fun. I always like long distance drives. Lots of Bob Dylan sing-a-longs and eating pasta I bought at Ralphs before I left MDR. I got home at exactly 9pm which was suprising.

the 405 at about 7pm.

as i am looking for internships and work in the music industry i am going to share with you one of MY favorite bands. These three kids went to my high school and I'm still casual friends with the Kelsea as I see her around here in San Diego.

The Wrong Trousers is their name and they are immensely unique in their sound and an amazing band to see live. I love them to death.

my unfortunate life.

ich liebe dich, i'm sort of sick of your shit.

2007-11-28T01:41:15Z

i've been busy. my first semester of college is starting to wind down and i'm pretty excited.
i've finally put a schedule together so my dog is now getting taken care of properly. i'm so sore from this morning's walk.
my thanksgiving was hard, which i was sort of expecting. i've picked up sutblities recently. my aunt taking jabs at my mom (they were sisters, that never got along). it angers me.
i'm trying so hard to pick through what i want to do and what other people think i should be doing. everyone around me has opinions that i don't like and i ESPECIALLY don't like the fact that they are trying to discredit my mom. Or trying to change what i think is fine and what is or isn't appropriate.
my lexus no longer is driveable so it's just sitting in front of the house. i miss it. i drive a jeep now.
i did get to see some of my friends that were away at college over the break. it was refreshing to talk with them.
my brother came home as well. it was great to get away from the insanity of the people i live with.
i've missed photography and taking pictures. looking to get right back into it.
i watched six hours of the kennedy's on the history channel last weekend. didn't sleep at home.
i need a new icon picture.
the end.

mark twain (besides huckleberry finn)
kurt vonnegut
charles dickens
walt witman
chuck palahniuk

suggest anything in terms of books, movies, music. I need new stuff to indulge in.

trying a new hair style . . .

these are just my bruises from falling on the stairs. . . my feet went out in front of me.

tran. . .

QUESTION: whats a good job to work at? or a way to obtain an internship.

my cousin, best friend, and i all went to hollywood/L.A last week. it was just for the day since i had to work and my cousin was leaving the next day. He had come down for my mom's funeral which oddly seems quite long ago. but with it being shark week this week and 3.30am i am going to edit this in the morning with pictures and what not. aka more information and stories.
i kind of wore the dumbest looking outfit, but my dolce and gabbana sunglasses made me look hot. :[ haha. the drive up there was kind of cool, totally hard though because after like an hour and a half of it all of our asses started to hurt. Everyone ( and I mean EVERYONE ) called my cousin while we were still driving and asked WHY we were going to LA and just for the day like it was a really weird thing to do. But he hadn't seen it and I told him I would take him while he was here even though he and a friend were going to drive down from portand oregon in about two months. So we got right on into Hollywood/Los Angeles and had to take my best friend's dog to piss. Yes, we took her dog. haha. It's a little dog, but we were also thinking of taking my golden retriever, chuey, but obviously decided against it as she would've taking a huge crap on top of one of the stars on the walk of fame. Honestly how embarrassingly fun would that be?
So, the first thing we did was GO TO VONS. Oh my god, I just about died when we pulled into the parking lot. My cousin had to get deoderant or well more like just use it and dash out of there. He likes to wear axe and some of them are good smelling, but most are just gross. Anyway, we dashed out of there I'm sure it's on camera, and went on to sunset blvd. The other two ate while the dog and I had water at a small restuarant in which the bathroom was awkard because it was unisex. It actually had a urinal in there. I was freaked out when I walked inside. While we were in LA we only had about four hours to explore it since I had to work that night. We headed onto Hollywood blvd and parked on one of the side streets and walked around 3 or 4 blocks of the walk of fame. We only took a couple of pictures; one of my cousin and i with the hollywood sign in the backround, me with winnie the pooh's star, me with the olsen twins star, and me with bob barker's star. these are all on myspace if you want to look at them. Then there's a picture of my cousin and i with elmo and tigger, which was awkward cause they're just people that dress up like them for a living/to get money so they were like afterwards, "we live on tips! we live on tips!" and i was like "dude i dont have any money." but at least the other two did haha. Also while we were there we went to coldstone creamery and you know how they're supposed to like chop all the shit up? WELL APPARENTLY AT THE ONE THERE THEY JUST COULDN'T SEEM TO DO IT. It was beyond disgusting to eat that much cookie dough at one time. I was pretty mad, but we had gotten too far away for me to complain to someone worth complaining to. My friend wore her coach slip on wedges and by the time we had to start walking back to the car, her and i had to trade shoes and i've never walked in anything that's raised unevenly so i almost died like twelve thousand times. As my friend was tired and my cousin desperately wanted to play on my sidekick, I got the privilege of driving my friend's car back. It was pretty awesome once we got out of the traffic. I belive we're gonna go again some time soon. But our next road trip is to Vegas, for obvious reasons.
