outlet for random comments, rants, and, of course, emotional outbursts..

think about puppies when you think of herion, really. the past few weeks, i have been waking up and watching MSNBC while laying half asleep still in bed or as i am making-eating breakfast. listening to the stocking exchange, tops stories, politics, business news, etc. it's great. one of today's stories was on the prosecution of drug smugglers in New York.Columbian drug smugglers have been surgically placing bags of herion into little labrador puppies' stomaches. ten pups were found. six of them with three kilograms in them, while three died due to infections after the removal of the herion. so yeah, think about the poor puppies that died so these herion addicts can get their fix.

online radio. the greatest thing ever. being away from KSCU, i miss out on all the great new music. this past week, i went back to online radio. loving it. i was thinking since KFRC sucks now, i ought to check out the online oldies stations too. i found this one station [the music file] that plays indie rock and some 60s & 70s [cass elliot, charles wright & the watts 103rd street rhythm band, nouvelle vague, van morrison, iron and wine with calexico, the decemberist, etc.]; the only problem is that the host didn't do such a great job shuffling the tracks - three rilo kiley tracks played in a row! currently, i am listening to Echoes of Sounds which plays downtempo, jazz, indie, shoegaze, hip hop, etc. so far, i have heard sigur ros, four tet, daedelus, and a bunch of other really good artists-bands. live365, check it out.
pros: 1. no commerical [well, only an ad or two] and PSAs! 2. viewable playlist

cons: 1. limited playlist  

i'm the greatest sister ever. i gave my little sister a copy of Delia's to look at.
she said to me, "are you trying to hide me sometehing?!?"
i responded, "maybe?" 
she gasped and replied, "hey!"
no, no. much love to my little sister. she's not as girly as me at that age [10, she's turning 11 in February!]. she's into here own thing which i let her be. i give her pointer here and there, but i want her to be herself and develop her own thing. as adult, you are to show paths, open gatways, and help guide-advise them to the paths where there is light, but you ought to not force them to take certains paths. you give and show them options, and it is up to them to decide on their own. my little sister dresses a litle corky, but she doesn't care. why should i? today, i gave her a bunch of catalogs to look at, so she can see and create her own style. she's in the pre-teen stage now where i think dressing a "certain way" might be essential to her social life in school. everyone goes through different phrase in their life where they feels likke them have to fit in. later on, they will look at it and think, "why did i care so much about that?" i put it has a learning experience.it helps us develop as a person as long we move past it. although as adult, we go through it too, but we just dono't realize it at times. it all occurs in different ascepts. what do you think?

tonight, chicken sonoma coop and the sharks game! yay!

Cache [translated: Hidden]. tonight, i went to see the french film Cache with Tyler which has won several European film awards. i walked out asking myself what the film was about. being quite relieved when i heard an elderly woman asked one of the camera 12 workers if he has seen it because she had no clue what it was about. i must say that the film made me more angry than touched. or maybe, outraged is more of the term? how could a person be so uncompassionate? as i told tyler, the movie is up there with Brown Bunny [minus the 10 minute blow job scene] on the level of confusion. reading some of the reviews on the movie, i think Tyler is right though. the point of the film is probably showing you that the actions you took as a young child which you didn't think much about could have such a dramatic effect in the long run. [i.e. Garden State, Andrew pushing his mom because he was mad. he didn't think it would have made her fall and end up paralyzing her.] i have some other hypotheses on other points the movie is trying to show, but it's too much for me to type. check it out and we can discuss it! hopefully, i haven't said too much to ruin the movie.     

What is a person to do? so here's the deal - please, read first. after reading the article, i was thinking of boycotting Macho Taco. it wouldn't feel right to eat there. thinking really hard about it, i wanted to check it out still and i did. i know, it's awful. here's the dl for all y'all peeps:
~ workers are very nice sincere folks who don't know their 'ish like they ought to  
~ i rocked the veggie and fish taco. veggie taco had refried bean yo! fish tacos, rubio's is still the best. right after it, taco surf! [fyi: chicken tacos, best joint is super taqueria. go veggie if you want and minus the chicken, still damn good. they hook it up with the avocado slices. don't forget to add cilantro and hot sauce.]   
~ no condiments! no diced onions, lemons/limes, minced cilantros, pico de gallo, or most importantly HOT SAUCE! weak. it's like going to a pho place with no hoisin sauce, the red rooster hot sauce, or satay. tsk, tsk.   

THE VERDICT: you can pass up this joint. also unlike me, you wouldn't have to think about by eating there you will be supporting and generating revenue for folks with no conscience.   

Project Runway. i truely do look forward to Wednesday nights. not only do i get to watch new episodes of Project Runway, i get to eat good food [brie, bread, fig jam, chocolate fondue, etc.]!
i love, love both Daniels! i love Daniel Franco because he is so adorable, nice, and pungy. but lately, Daniel V. the boy can design! he's also a sweetheart; i love how in episode 8 he told nick to suck it up and focus.look at that hair too, all nice, brown, and wavy.

i thought Kara's dress should have won though. oh, Santino has mellowed down a little. thank goodness, it's for his own good that cocky lil' bitch. he's a total crack up though with his Tim impersonations. this episode [#9] was probably by far the funniest and one of the best designs, i think. here are my predictions for top 3: Daniel V, Chloe, Santino [?], and Nick [?]. it's too hard to decide between Santino and Nick. if anything, it might be 3 of those boys. Kara, she has not improven to me that she has what it takes to make it to the top 3. all her designs has been plain, nothing new and creative. although, her last design was amazing. as for Andrae, tough love baby.
