a month later

its almost over.

tomorrow,we have prisca's dinner and karaoke.
friday, saturday and sunday. then to silverlake and downtown la.

my last month in westwood. its been better than good.

thank you to justine, prisca, abner and jason-i love you. how is it i meet the chillest people? luck.

YESS

It finally feels like a LA summer.

moved out of my shit hole of an apartment. happy would be an understatement. now i am here at justine's. its super chill--forgot what its like to live with my people.

today: after losing my car keys. i decided not to go in for my last day at asakuma. best decision ever. instead watched wanted and kungfu panda. with dinner and spontaneity, it had to be the perfect summer chilling.

i am going to cut back on work. this year-off was suppose to be fun, not stress reincarnated.

I wanted you to be one of the first to know: on Saturday, I will hold an event in Washington D.C. to thank everyone who has supported my campaign. Over the course of the last 16 months, I have been privileged and touched to witness the incredible dedication and sacrifice of so many people working for our campaign. Every minute you put into helping us win, every dollar you gave to keep up the fight meant more to me than I can ever possibly tell you.

On Saturday, I will extend my congratulations to Senator Obama and my support for his candidacy. This has been a long and hard-fought campaign, but as I have always said, my differences with Senator Obama are small compared to the differences we have with Senator McCain and the Republicans.

I have said throughout the campaign that I would strongly support Senator Obama if he were the Democratic Party's nominee, and I intend to deliver on that promise.

When I decided to run for president, I knew exactly why I was getting into this race: to work hard every day for the millions of Americans who need a voice in the White House.

I made you -- and everyone who supported me -- a promise: to stand up for our shared values and to never back down. I'm going to keep that promise today, tomorrow, and for the rest of my life.

I will be speaking on Saturday about how together we can rally the party behind Senator Obama. The stakes are too high and the task before us too important to do otherwise.

I know as I continue my lifelong work for a stronger America and a better world, I will turn to you for the support, the strength, and the commitment that you have shown me in the past 16 months. And I will always keep faith with the issues and causes that are important to you.

In the past few days, you have shown that support once again with hundreds of thousands of messages to the campaign, and again, I am touched by your thoughtfulness and kindness.

I can never possibly express my gratitude, so let me say simply, thank you.

Sincerely,

Hillary Rodham Clinton

make my day

i have no sense of time now. my days are so busy that yesterday seems weeks away.
bay to breakers was two weeks ago but i swear it happened last quarter.


as usual. it was super fun.

hanging with lauren and kyle is always hilarious. plus david in his element is quite impressive. and mable dressed up as a hybrid of chinese fob and hippie doesn't let me down.

i really really really like san francisco. now i see what every nor cal person raves about. people there are way cooler (and chiller) than the los angelenos i have to look at every day. there's something about los angeles that specializes in making neurotic jerks. i should know i serve most of them.


currently, i am at three jobs. its what i do. work to play.
more importantly, i graduate in two weeks. not quite sure what to make of it.


Us finishing the marathon. or semi-marathon as kyle would call it. 8 miles running without breaking a sweat. impressive, i know.

just because

my type is...boy.

a new buzz

i love movies. i visualize my month around movie releases. and plan my weekends according to movie times.

my two favorite movie buddies would be my mama and jeanne.
heres why.
1) they let me choose the movie.
2) they don't exist loudly. i.e. heavy breathing, restless feet, smacking
3) they notice the funny little things. and make interesting/humorous comments
4) both have very charming laughs. so when they laugh it makes me laugh.
5) AND, they don't get annoyed when i talk during the movie.

in my wildest dreams I am a screenwriter or even better, a DIRECTOR. the first women director to win an academy award. sigh. so cool. long shots without cuts would be my director trademark.

this may. there is a lot to cover.

Back from Seattle

and i LOVED it.

nice people, trees, waterfront, tulips, flying fish market, the cutest houses, fremont, the troll in fremont, diversity, downtown seattle.

the only thing i would disagree on is the weather. it really does suck.

some highlights of my trip
- somehow getting into the private opening of the Jimi Hendrix exhibit at the Experience Music Project.
- calling to see whether our tour guide's name was actually Claire Buoyant.
- Fremont and the troll.
- La Rustica and Sangria. plus the super cute neighborhood of West Seattle
- Kurt Cobain's house. because it meant that much to Lauren and Kyle.

on a weirder note.
i hate passive people.
