For My Roomate Cisco

Yummy.

My D Turned into a C Story.

::sighs::

Terrible news.

I got a D on my Philosophy test. Horrible right?

My professor gave us our tests back right before we went on break. To my dismay I see a 68%. I was like all sorts of pissed. Shocked, perturbed, embarrassed... A hint of self loathing...
It was bad and it was 9:30 at night. I look around and the entire class was going through the same thing. One after another- Scantrons all over the place. People mumbling "Fuck" "Shit" "Seriously?!?!" Finally, a girl raises her hand and says "Professor! I studied so hard there's no way I got the grade I got. I know the material so well." I managed to add "Me too!!!" (I love this class! I completely understand the concepts and theories!!!)

We went on break. 10 long agonizing minutes later...
Class resumed.

"OK class. So I read the statistics from the machine and it seems that most of you either failed or received a D or C. The highest grade was a B... So I've decided to grade this exam on a curve."

The man on the moon could have heard the sheer excitement and relief that came out of our class room. I was sooooo happy!!! Now I know how Michael Phelps felt!
I was on a pedestal with my final C grade. It was awesome.

End scene.

Sarah Silverman

Classic. Sheer genius!

if i told you things i did before... told you how i used to be...

I'm a loner Dottie. A rebel.

Is she serious?

Really Sarah? Really?

"Real Woman Hunt Moose" !?!?

Are you out of your damn Alaskan mind? Are you or are you not running for something...

You know what? I wish Tina Fey were REALLY Sarah Palin.





Amy: "Forgive me Mrs. Palin- but It seems to me that when cornered... You become increasingly adorable. Is that fair to say?"

Tina: "I don't know. Is it? Pew! pew! pew!"

Backstory/ Secret Time

So the back story on this picture is :

I've had this statuette of The Virgin Mary since I was a little girl. My grandma bought if for me at The San Fernando Mission in San Fernando - where I grew up. It means sooo much to me. I take it with me every time I DJ. It's not for good luck. I do not believe in luck. Not really into religion but was totally raised Catholic. The Virgin Mary is a huge part of my Mexican culture. She was always around growing up and I've always loved her. All her statues, sculptures, paintings, any kind of work with her in or anything that has to do with her- evokes an artistic inspiration and peace. The Virgin Mary is Art to me. I have all sorts of statues of her in my room. You should see!

So on my way to a gig on Sunday I stop by a liquor store and I put her on the counter to pay and my friend Michelle snapped a shot of her. Then posted it on my page...

Thus revealing my secret.

Atreyu totally effed up.

Have you ever seen this movie? It's called The Never (eva fo evah evah) Ending Story. It's sooo good. Takes me back to when I was a little girl wearing my footed pajamas and I was in bed by 9 o'clock sharp! ::sighs:: Those were the days!

Yum yum.

Oh Shannon.



Can you stop being sexy for like 10 minutes?
No?
That's OK. :)

Yeah I know it's almost 6pm...

But I'm totally in the mood for pancakes. Hardcore.

::heart beat::

"I don't quite understand how you can go from smitten, to falling in love, to being in love, to can you please pretend I never existed, and I'll do the same for you. But unless we could get that part of our memories erased a la Eternal Sunshine..it never goes away..remnants of their scent, touch and mannerisms don't go away. As much as we'd like them too. And this by no way means that we our still in love. We are still holding onto a time. A time in our life. That we can't get back. Can't erase and rewind. But take the good and the bad and somehow make sense of it all."

-Gloria P. aka DJ LF aka my baby ;)

right?

Another friend of mine is going through a break up. We all could relate to that heart wrenching ache that can't even be put into words. To hear her and see her upset is the pits. And she's at that stage where she thinks the whole concept of romance and relationship is completely ridiculous. Haha.



I'm trying to tell her that she only feels this way because her heart is broken. But she's convinced by the power of infinity. I said "You know what? I'm totally down for another heart break. Being in love is totally worth it." Her response "You're fucking crazy bitch. Totally out of your fucking mind!" and I said...

"I know right?"

"tonight we are talking about the connection between love and the senses; your lover kisses you and you feel a tremor in the back of your knees. the synapses fire sending orders move your legs, move your arms, she's the one for you... she's the girl of your dreams, she's your one and only. and you know because the smell of her makes your head swim because you get a physical jolt everytime she sends a glance your way... i mean she touches you here... you feel it here... you touch her anywhere and you feel it everywhere and then... boom it's six months later and she's touching someone else"

-Leisha Hailey in The L Word

i'm going to thumb you.

I want this.

But I want mine to read: 'Snugglepuss Supreme' or maybe 'stoli vanilla w/ ginger ale'.
Cause that's mah drank. That's mah drank!



::sighs:: marriage. commitment. aye! can't we all just go to truck stop and forget about it all?

marriage

It seems like everyone around me is either about to get engaged, engaged, or just got married.

So this morning my good friend tells me she just got engaged last night. I saw it coming. I did.
But still... It's so surreal. I'm like... "Wow, really?" But when you love someone- a friend... You want whats best for them. Whatever makes them happy makes me happy. She's reading this and probably thinking "Ariana! You're not supposed to say anything!!!" I'm not baby. I'm keeping it hush hush.

I'm just shocked, scared, happy, worried, and elated for you. That's all.

Oh my God. You lesbians drive me NUTS!

You are my electric girl...

babygirl...

The Coppola's

This family is synonymous for great films. Francis Coppola's Godfather trilogy, his A for amazing daughter Sofia directed The Virgin Suicides and Lost in Translation. Most recently Marie Antoinette. I love Sofia Coppola to no end. Kiss kiss Sofia. Kees kees. Seriously.

Oddly enough they're in the wine biz. Have been for some time.

I bought a bottle of Sofia Sparkling for my house warming party last year and it was delish. So I can't wait to get my hands on these...

"Sofia Minis are very popular amongst that trendy set who enjoy the occasional bubbly and want their own "pop". Coppola reports Sofia Minis are a blend of Pinot Blanc, Sauvignon Blanc and Muscat, with less than 1% residual sugar.

Tasting Notes: Color: Pale wheat with a slight celery tint, showing copious bubbles. Aromas: Green apple and ripe pear with hints of honey. Lively on the tongue with lots of bubbles, the tart apple strudle flavors seem just a bit off-dry, balanced with nice acidity that keeps it light and refreshing.

Excellent value ($18 /4-187ml. cans). Alcohol content: 11.5%."

I want some!!!

Philosophy

Fredrich Nietzsche

October 15, 1844-August 25, 1900

Last night we learned about Fredrich Nietzsche. If only I could I express the pure joy after he passed out the lecture sheet and I read his name.

I was ecstatic!

Unfortunately the lecture on Nietzsche was short and sweet. Like a midget with a crush.

My professor went more in depth on this mans character and discussed his insanity. Insanity has always intrigued me. It scares me. The idea of someone who is seemingly normal (what is normal anyway?) suddenly going ape shit one day. It's fascinating. So the back story on Nietzche is that one morning he woke up and walked out side to a man beating a horse. Nietzche watched this for awhile and fell to the ground and lost his mind. On top of that he suffered all sorts of mental illnesses and strokes and his sister was a nazi and what have you. But bottom line is this man was the last great philosopher in history and the last great philosopher to the 20th (and now 21st) Century. So now I'm even more all about him. Google him.

"There is always some madness in love. But there is also always some reason in madness."
-Fredrich Nietzsche

I want.

I want to own a loft downtown. Pasadena would suffice even.

Hell, Silverlake. Do they have lofts in Silverlake?

I just want a damn loft. Honestly. That's over the hill.

This song has been in my head since Saturday. Thanks Gloria ;)
