Life is pretty awesome/ridic/crazy right now. BIRTHDAY WEEK STARTS NOW. It makes me happy to see my residents and coworkers share this great time with me. Plus the mail man is being all nice and actually ringing the door bell these days instead of throwing stuff at the door and running off.

So long story short, my computer died. Looks like someone yanked out my ipod cord and a spark caused the motherboard to fry up. (Or this is what I was told.) Had it for a good six years and never gave me an issues. It's time to step up and get a laptop, no more towers for me. I would be bawling over the lost, but thankfully two weeks ago for some reason I started backing up stuff. So I'm thankful for that. So if you don't see me on here, this is the reason.

Besides it'd do me some good to get off the net more and go live life.

A audio rip of Gaga's Bad Romance video. I love the opening and hand claps at the end. I wanted it so bad for my ipod and finally found someone rip it. SO GOOD. Sadly I have only seen the video TWICE because my computer screen is dead/dying. Right now, as I type I'm seeing all red and grey with a hint of livejournal.com and another audio is Kurt's Defying Gravity this is just Chris Colfer's version. SOOO GOOD. Enjoy.

PS - Might go friends only soon. There are faaaaaar too many people adding me these days with just created journals or just a few people added to their friends list. Weird.

While the week isn't over, I do consider Mon-Fri my task to listening to just jpop and I did rather well. I have ridiculous fond memories of Hello!Project and B'z and yet I CRINGE at both as I listened to it at work. Danceman (it was danceman, right? I can't recall) seems so unnecessary these days and Inaba just sounds so dated. DATED. Glay and SMAP bring so much nostalgia I don't think I'll ever stop listening to them. I think I'll be 64, in a Nursing home with my cds and I'll be rocking out SMAP and Green Day.. I ended up staying up faaaaaaaaar to late on Wednesday night listening to seven SMAP albums. Jesus. I was a zombie at work on Thursday. Some stuff just doesn't seem as COOL as I recall, mostly Koda Kumi and Namie Amuro come to mind. The two's r&b/hip hop stuff is so crude. But their pop is TOP NOTCH. Koda Kumi's early stuff is so much fun. Those five days were long and I made a bit of mess in my room digging for cds and singles to rip for my ipod.

So Space Cowboy did some great stuff with Lady Gaga, so after looking around for his solo stuff I have come across this song called 'Devastated' and it's basically POP ATE MY HEART. OMGOSH! Pop ate my heart is an actual song, asdfghjkl! While I don't approve of recycling her old beats for his new stuff. It's GOOD. There is an interesting Bad Romance remix floating around that someone thankfully ripped off youtube. I love listening to it, gives me an excuse to listen to more Gaga. Here is a remix of Paparazzi that I'm feeling at the moment, nothing special just another remix out of 23453453453's out there.

I really want to update my journal layout but so many layouts out there don't have the tags sidebar or custome headers. Anyone have any good places to share? I really need to update my userinfo, it's seems so dated and blah.

So to get back to my 'roots', I wanted to try to listen to Jpop (in reality it's jpop/jrock/kpop/etc...) for the week. I lasted two days. Today, I pulled out 21st CB to listen to. But after looking through old data folders that I have of jpop, I had to upload some favorites:

This is it didn't make me sad, I didn't cry, it made me happy and I think that is how MJ would have want his fans coming into this movie to feel. Seeing him throw down dance moves like it secondhand nature is so crazy. He says he wants to 'save his voice' and yet seconds later he sings the most graceful and beautiful notes in the film. They seem to cut through songs quickly but linger on ones that kinda felt flat. We spend SO much time with Earthsong (which IS beautiful and epic) but yet SO little time on Man in the Mirror. I felt almost cheated. Where was the moonwalk, the whole theater got giddy when Billie Jean started and yet, no moonwalk? Did I blink and miss? The scene with him having a gun stand off with Humphrey Bogart had me floored. OMG. Smooth Criminal is easily the BEST part of the movie. This would have been one hell of a concert, you crazy Europeans were loyal and he wanted to give back. Shame it took his death for American to realize they lost a rare talent. The perspective you get in this film is worth watching it multiple times, just hearing his vocal range (INSANE.) to his dance moves that come as simple to him as breathing is jaw dropping. I will seeing this again in Imax on Saturday. I have no shame. When it comes to MJ, none.



There is a film coming out (came out?) in the UK that seems to give some sort of justice to the John Lennon story. The teddy boy look is amazing and they included important women in his life like Aunt Mimi and Julia (usually when people talk of Lennon, then mention two other people, Macca and Yoko) so it's nice to see this side of the story. ANNND I think there was a Cynthia in the trailer? I'm very interested in this film and really want to see it, I hope it is released in the US.

I noticed I started to get lazy in the morning and grab the first headband or clip I see and go, usually I'll pick up what's closest and either throw it on the floor or put it in my purse. Lately I have been wearing the same handful for the pass month and I should organize it so I finally torn everything down and got ready to organize my stuff.

If you have time on a completely different topic, this blew my mind.

Britney Spears: Megamix 2009 (DJ Max Oliveira Pop Mix) Someone actually took most of Britney's GOOD music (i.e Blackout-era) and mixed them with the Circus stuff. So good, I listen to this all the time when I'm at work.

Glee: I could have danced all night from the latest Glee episode. Emma singing really blew me away, is that really HER? She sounds like a Disney princess! I wish they had a longer version available on itunes, this is just a tv rip.

AFI: Medicate I really, really want to like the new album and single, but I just can't. It's so trendy/clean/safe. This isn't the raw vocals that I'm use to hearing from Havok. I finally saw the video today and even that couldn't win me over. But here is the new single if you want to give it a try. Meh. Maybe it'd grow on me.

Lady Gaga: Bad Romance She's done it again. I really wanted to wait and avoid but I couldn't. It's oh-so-good. Such a hit. My girl is doing me proud, just download it, a winner track for sure.

BSB: Straight through my heart Eep! Totally in love with the new album, imagine BSB-top-notch-vocals with a eurobeat. Some people are saying this is a little slow, but I l.o.v.e it. LOVE it. So good! N'Sync, who?


Allison Iraheta: Friday I'll be over U Uh.. Any song that has "u" in it, I just can't take seriously. I had high hopes for this chick, but I'll pass. This is like a poor man's Tisdale! Basically I'm putting this up here in hopes for someone giving me the new Lambert track.

Daughtry: Pokerface Cover I collect pokerface covers, this one is amusing.

WHAT IS MY LIFE. COULD LIFE GET ANY BETTER. SO BEAUTIFUL AND SO WELL DONE. I WANT TO CRY AND ROLL AROUND AND JUST DIE, BECAUSE IT'S PERFECTION.

I hate to be such a creeper, but damn, this is GOOD. I need to get xbox live and actually figure this out because I want NEED this. I'm not an Abbey Road girl, (White album all the way) but this is sooooo good. Can you imagine how much I'll be dying if/when they release the White Album!? OHMYGOSH. Rocky Raccoon, Happiness, Revolution #9 (LOLZ) Ahahha. Dying. DYING.

Glee tonight. You know what that means.


Kurt and Quinn. The more I watch, the more I love them both. Not together mind you..


Another entry for the drama-lama at work. Oh it's bad, they did me dirty.

I AM READY FOR 'THIS IS IT'. BE JEALOUS. THIS JACKET IS AMAZING AND ALL MINE.

I have the weekend off, TWO DAYS OFF. OMG, try not to sleep too much. The plan is:

#1. Hair cut and color. Coloring it black again, totally getting new fringe. Mine have been grown out and sloppy since May-ish. You think I have shame? I take care of my roots asap, but not my fringe, I just let it get all messy and shot to hell. I pray I don't get a shitty cut.

#2. Look for a jacket and some shoes, but don't spent too much. I want to blow all my $$$ in SF next week. I hope my car is ok, the engine light is on and off and giving me hell. One day it runs jerky and the next it's perfect. So close to hitting the 200 thousand mark. (In FIVE years, no less.)

#3. Catch up on evvvvvverything. No really, I have avoided people, not returned calls, I should swing by the other departments to say hello, return some emails, watch all the kevin rose stuff he's in this month, pay some of my bills and just do the little things. I also want to give my dog a good bath, I did trim his hair a bit today. But I really want to sit and soak him.

#4. SNEAK in a viewing of Paranormal Activity, Stepfather and go to Gyro's.

Some spam of the cutest thing I have seen in ages. WHAT IS MY LIFE? Why it's A++ right now.

I love days off, I really do. Was able to sleep in (until 8AM!!!!), play an hour on Wii fit, watch six episodes of GLEE and finally update my playlist. PLUS it's raining! How exciting, I love rain, I love this kind of weather. I want to buy decent boots and tuck my pants and walk around in the puddles. I ordered a ton of Zombie dvds off ebay and I hope they come in soon because I want to crash on the sofa and watch as many as I can stomach.

About Wii fit, what is everyone's favorite thing to do on the game? I'm addicted to the hula hoop move. Do 15 mins of it straight and your legs burn. BURN. I'm not a fan of any of the balance games, they bore me. I love free run but there is really no point in that, you can cheat easily. The yoga stuff kicks my ass, I'm not use to do anything like that. No wonder people who do yoga are toned! It is hard! I like the little Mario's that are hidden on the running tracks. How cute! I made a mii of my dog so he can get weighted and he weights a little less than 17. SO FAT. But my sister's cat is far worst, he weights in around 23! OMG.

Oh, I uploaded 22 tracks from GLEE, if anyone wants them:

Some photos of the last couple of weeks. Welcome to my life. ( Read more... )

Hello world. Been working. NO LIFE FOR ME. I've spent more time at work in the last seven days than I think is legal. I wish I could do 24 hrs shifts, but no. 18 is the max I can do. A bit of drama with paperwork and residents throwing themselves on the door for attention but it's all good. The only downside is I EAT SO MUCH AT WORK THAT IT IS RIDIC. Everyone has food, so it's always some free for all at work, and damn, working on all the shifts means me talking to everyone and sharing food. I brought in 30 egg rolls from King Eggroll just because I was in the mood and my buddy Brenda swore up and down that she would try it, so I can drag her there and make her eat there with me every day. I love that place. The cabbage that they slip in the egg rolls are sooooooooooo GOOD. I can't get enough. I want it now.

Um.. So I'm working and I will be happy with this paycheck, but what does it matter because I won't get getting my Sgt. Pepper outfit that I wanted made for Halloween in time and that just bums me out. I really, really, really, really, really wanted it since our theme at work is "Famous People". I don't want to do MJ because everyone is going to be MJ this year (that and Gaga, you know it's true.) so I figure just be a zombie. If I had skill with horror/gore makeup, I'd be a zombie that looked like it came out of a Lucio Fulci movie. So we'll see, if I'm not lazy and actually get out there and go shopping. There is a giant new Nordstrom Rack opening up this Friday, I figure I'd buy clothes from there and rip them up. But knowing me I'll be a lazy fuck and bum around taking pics of everyone else on Halloween. Grr.

I was suppose to go to the Casino for another overnight trip on the 20-21st, but I lost SO MUCH MONEY when I went on the 4th, I played won and lost xxx3's more than what I won. Blah. But I had lots of fun, great swimming, great spa area, great eats, great company. *_* So I figure that I might as well as skip it and work, so I can make up for lost $$$. Use that money to go shopping when I drive down to SF on the 24th.

Been listening to Macca like as if my life depended on it. TONS OF ALBUMS in my lap. So beautiful, just digging them out of boxes and relistening to them makes me so, so, so, so, happy. FLAMING PIE IS SO MUCH BETTER WITH AGE. I remember walking to Tower Records in the 90's and buying the album for around 16.95 and there was a listening party and I sat around with old white men talking about the albums. I was a kid in the 90's and went to tons of listening parties and clubs when the anthologies and all the Macca stuff came out. I always went alone and always went on foot. I think I was 15 back them, how odd I was. I never really made any friends, besides the old white dudes, but never really anyone my age. (I say white, because it's what stood out to me in my mind, the straight laced white dudes in suits and ties who listen to Macca, I dunno. Old school-beatle fans?)

.. LOLZ. And people say music is expensive now! 16.95 was and still is a lot for a cd and this was back in 95-ish, when my parents would give me a 20.00 every once and a while and send me on my way to Tower Records on Blossom Hill where I bought my first cd, ever. (It was Magical Mystery Tour.) I had a big cd player that I kept in my pocket and it would skip when I ran home so I could sit and read the liner notes.

I will cut this entry short because my sister just came back from LA and I have been waiting endlessly for her.

Zombieland A++++. You have to see this movie.
The Nightmare on Elm Street Trailer was SO good. Jackie will do great.
THE PIE last night was delish.

As for sad news.
http://www.beatlesfestwest.com/

WHY HAVEN'T I HEARD ABOUT THIS SOONER!?!? F-M-L. I need to actually search around and find out about these things! It makes me so sad that I have to work fri-sat-sun when this is going on. I want to go SOOOOO BAD. It's right by the SF Zoo and I could have done two in one. Damn, I wish this was going on in November, so I can use it as an excuse for my birthday. (sadddddddddddd that I can't go to this.)

Totally bummed.

Going to celebrate my Grandmother's birthday, she is 61 today and in better shape (and pain free!) than me. WOW. I hope to make it to 61.

Going gambling tomorrow, wish me luck!~

Been watching a ton of lives on youtube and finally ordered the Space Within US tour dvd of Macca and the audio on youtube sounds so good, I had to hunt for a dvd rip and someone provided it with me, so I MUST SHARE. GOOD RIP. Macca does a TON of Beatle tunes. I wish he did more of the Flaming Pie-era. THAT ALBUM IS SO SOLID AND GOOD. So tour audio for you:

Paul McCartney - The Space Within US (tour 2005 dvd audio rip)


Motown Sings the Beatles (lolz, this collection is EPIC.)
Sendspace: hxxp://www.sendspace.com/file/e4ypra

(The above is a silly album that I had on my ipod for a while. So many motown voices covers Beatle tunes. SERIOUSLY the Supremes cover 'Come Together' AHAHAHA)

^_^ OCT TOMORROW! Really looking forward to this month, SO MUCH to do. Overnight Casino trip (two of them actually!), the Cobra Starship concert, Disney on Ice, Gyros haunt, the American Idiot musical and the Halloween party (my friends birthday is actually on the 31st..) I put in my measurements and photos for my outfit, I hope it works out, it will be epic.

Back to work, laters.

OMG. Who would have thought 4chan knows their stuff. I saw this AND DIED.

I have been obsessed with roll on's. You know the perfume to carry in your purse? The rolls on are just so nice and so easy to carry around. I bought Stella McCartney's, Marc's Daisy and a Juicy one but I really, really, really want Kenzo's FLOWER which is sold out at the two Sephora's I went to. I WANT. That scent is my favorite. I should order it on but I'm lazy, I use my CC too much. I will never pay this thing off. No matter how much I pay off, I almost end up using it out of laziness and treating too many people.

I went to the bookstore yesterday and met a nice lady who liked MJ and the Beatles, she was much older but we talking about the stereo mixes and how certain songs aren't listenable anymore! Some of the white album is a bit hard on the ears when you listen to it with headphones. Like While my Guitar Gently weeps sounds crazy-loud with headphones! Wild Honey Pie I have to skip. We talked of MJ and how her husband is over the glorification (and it's true, it's a bit much now. I love MJ with all my heart but really now..) It's a shame it took his death for people to take a step back and realize his talent. How many legends we really have left? I mean we have Macca, but the guy is turning 69 (68?) next year? DAMN. Might as well make it 70. I told my sister no matter what, we are flying out if he tours again, the setlist for the few shows he did this year was crazy-good. CRAZY GOOD. CRAZY-GOOD.

Sadness at work, I was really close with one of the residents' wife who use to come down and visit her husband every now and then, she was cool, she had an awesome dog who looked like mine and I would always vent to her about my dog and when he hurt himself she was the first person I went to, to ask what I should do. For an old white lady (and I mention the race because most of the White ladies at my work take forever to warm up to me, or are always cautious because of my hair, tattoos or age.) she really liked me right away, never judged me or my dog and we were cool. But she fell the other night at home and died that morning. SHOCKED BEYOND BELIEF. I wasn't at work but my friend told me, the whole crew went it to tell the husband who flipped out and I know he is going to shut down and refuse all meals. It's going to be tough, but I tip my hat to Mrs. Grey. Classy lady.



A photo of my dog half way on the sofa. Awwwww~

Warfield, San Francisco, CA, 13th Oct 2005
Also, since I'm reliving some of the BEST moments of my life with music, I'll share with you another, the BEST Green Day show I've ever went to. The Network + Green Day at the Warfield. They played American Idiot in it's entirely and two encores that was close to 30 songs. The setlist is under the cut.

One of the fanfics that really stood out and that is still up on the net (most were posted on geocities and geocities is pretty much gone.) is "In name Only a BSB fanfic that is #1 het and #2 Howie-related. I know, crazzzzzzzy. It's also 101 chapters. @#O$*#UOI$U! WOW. Re-reading it I cringe that I liked this stuff, but some of it is funny.
