hahahahahah!
i’m listening to… “the circus that has brought us” by the fall of troy, “no cigar” by millencolin.
4:25 am — HAHAHA.
a few days ago me and lenny decided to go eat @ old country buffet. THE PLACE IS FUCKING SICK. but at least they had a poster saying, “RIBS WORTH THEIR WEIGHT IN NAPKINS” - A TESTAMENT TO THE NASTINESS.
okay. first off. yesterday i woke up, ran some errands, and then went to watch “charlie and the chocolate factory” with lenny. the new one, with johnny depp. it was FANFUCKINGTASTIC. the beginning was better than the end, but it was visually amazing. the set of the inside was actually made using real taffy, which is just nuts. visually just awesome. and that is enough for me. because that’s the only reason i like movies anyway! partly kidding.
afterwards we did blahblahblah stuff. and then at night we went with cynthia to the aquabats, epoxies, and phenomenauts show. wow. what a show. the phenomenauts were okay, because we couldn’t really see them. i couldn’t see the epoxies either cause i’m short… somehow i managed to get lenny and cyn both in because i was supposed to be on the list +1 but i wasn’t, so i called the tour manager and he let us in and gave me +2. so that was rad. the show did really well and sold really well… packed house. never seen el corazon so packed, that’s for sure.
for the aquabats, we moved off to the side front and i managed to see a little better. damn, what a show. it was great. definitely one of the best i’ve seen, although a little too long. it was like… an hour and fifteen minutes long. but so good because it was so unconventional. the aquabats’ music, for one, is weird as hell. they sing about mechanical apes and fashion zombies. they also wear spandex superhero suits and these facemasks and helmets. the crowd was nuts too. considering they haven’t put out a cd in like five years, i dunno where the hell these fans came from, but they were all decked out in aquabats gear, doing hand symbols, singing along, jumping up and down. but unlike shows like metal and hardcore shows, it was happy jumping. happy moshing. very happy. very.
they also had these between song skits where they beat up monsters, and commercials for “pudding belt dispensers” and weird crap like that. it was definitely, definitely a rock show in the best sense of the term.
after that we came back and despite being pooped, attempted to watch the “spongebob squarepants” movie… although i could not stay awake for most of it so i’ll need to watch it again. :/ after that we just hung around and watched tv while liz and cyn and alex drank. and it’s all good.
damnit i just typed up journal and accidentally deleted it. fuck!
anyway, today at night at like 6:30 i went to andy [chen]’s place, and there was some bbq with enchi ahyee and emily [chen] and some of their friends. not the best meal i have ever eaten. today is a poor day for food - a poor day indeed. it was slabs of meat, cherries, potato chips, kimchi, and potato salad. now… i’m really easy to please foodwise. but this was just the weirdest and most uncomplimenting combination of things… slabs of meat is just plain gross. cherries make my mouth and ear canals itch. potato chips were good - they were BY tgi fridays and tasted like potato skins, but you can only eat so many potato skins for dinner. kimchi is gross by itself (i was forced to eat it with potato salad because there was nothing else to eat it with). potato salad was good at first but since that was the only really edible thing i ended up eating so much of it, and it was made from scratch with tons of miracle whip, and it is really just gross both in thought and in edibility. *gag. also just ate a piece of pizza @ jake [reeves] and brian [nelson]’s, and it was really freaking gross. it took like 2 and a half hours to get there. as always when they order pizza where they live in swear. WTF.
anyways, after the bbq i went to meet up with jake [gravbrot] @ b&o in capitol hill. like i wrote on my xanga: “this guy cuts hair for bands. sounds like a weird job, but he’s so passionate about cutting hair that it’s awesome. you know, as i’m losing faith in doing a magazine and shit, it’s nice… fantastic, really… when i meet people like this who are so willing to help out (even though it is because he gets something out of it… but in the end, i’m pretty sure he’ll be of more help to me than i of him) and seem so into what they are doing. granted, it’s not a normal profession or anything, but from doing this magazine, if there’s anything i’ve gotten out of it, it’s meeting people who are definitely passionate, whether it’s music (a lot of it is music), art, or cutting hair. i’m so privileged to meet people who know what they’re doing and what they want to do… and aren’t living for money or fame or whatever, but rather the pursuit of achieving their goals. it’s definitely a rarity, and it makes me happy to know that people like this do exist within my immediate realm.”
moving onwards… then i came back and hung out in the living room with liz for a bit and arlen and farm came over and we all played a bit of puzzlefighter. then alex and i went over to fremont to the triangle lounge because it was roldan’s birthday. hung around for a while. this one guy who i guess slangs kept busting out all of his bills. he wanted to get some drinks and it was like closing time, so the bartenders kept saying, “we’re not going to serve you, man,” and he kept pulling out wads of bills and just could not understand that they wouldn’t serve him because he had all this money. and later he was complaining about all the money he spent even though he kept taking it out the whole night. and none of it was even in order or anything, it was just each singly-stacked piece of shit notes. so easy to lose. he dropped like twenties a bunch of times. stupid. so stupid. people like that are just asking to be caught.
also at this bar this lady was standing outside when we first got there and she started telling me she was wasted and she was standing outside because there was no room to stand inside. then someone said something about how i just came back, and she asked me where i just came back from, and i said russia. and jake was like, “she wants to see the sights. where should i take her?” and the lady went off from pike’s place market to the waterfront, to the trolley, to the monorail, to downtown, to the space needle…” and the whole time jake kept saying stuff like, “NO WAY… the monorail… does that go to westlake center? i’ve heard a lot about that place.” in the end she decided jake was an ass. she was like, “are you fucking with me?” and he’s like, “no! i’m from minnesota!” and then she resumed going through the whole sights schpeil, saying how she grew up in seattle. and he was still asking these stupid questions, so finally she concluded he was lying and he was an ass, but was still like, “she’s a nice girl. make sure you take her to see all of the sights while she’s here.” lmao.
a couple of people called me adria too, cause i guess that’s another asian girl. wtf.
anyway. later we went back to jake’s. some girl really wanted to have a threesome with jake and his brother alec. i don’t think she was kidding. X: that’d be weird - having a threesome with your brother. weird.
sigh.
so some guy (the drug dealer boy) passed out on jake’s bed and alec took off his pants i guess. later he was trying to take off all of his clothes. so he gave up, and me, alex, and the girl tara went into jake’s room (by this point, jake had passed out next to the naked dude) while alec started to finish taking off his shirt. he got one arm off and was going for the other one. it was still around his neck too. so there were four of us standing around in the room, and as he was pulling off the last arm the guy kind of woke up and all of us just fell to the floor really fast HAHAHA. and the guy was like, “wow” and he WAS on his backside with his ass facing up but he turned so that his frontside was up and then grabbed a pillow to cover up his peener lol. me and alec were laughing so hard… the guy just went back to sleep!!! WTF! i can’t imagine being that drunk that you’d pass out and not wake up from people stripping you, but HEY, WHATEVER.
