Football Sundays are back

Currently listening to: Sunday morning football

Well I am up to the same-o same-o. In the middle of school and work and boy does time just fly by.

Last night went to eat at Thanh Long with some friends...boy I never get tired of that place. Yummiest crab you will ever have and the garlic noodles ain't too shabby either.

Night before I checked out SuperBad. Pretty funny IMO. Did some laughing out loud in the movie theatre and that's all you're looking for with movie like that isn't it?

So I am currently participating in this football suicide pool. You pick a team each week to win but can never pick that team again. You are alllowed up to two entries. This week I picked Dallas and San Diego. I'll keep ya' posted on how I do. Needless to say, this is the only way you are going to actually get me to pay attention to football.

Wow, long time no see. Ok, so Europe was fantastic although we probably caught a pretty bad heatwave. In short:

Venice: Nice to see once, but we won't be coming back

Florence: Beautiful, our favorite city visited. We hope to come back and see other parts around Florence

Rome: Flippin' hot...besides that, all the major landmarks are here and it is quite surreal to see them in person.

Athens: Same thoughts as Venice (was also VERY hot)

Mykonos: Beautiful and relaxing

Santorini: Most beautiful of all...can't even begin to describe the sunsets here.

Have a short weekend trip to Seattle coming up. Never been, but I am sure it will be fun. I am stocking up on my vacations now as I have a full load with school (15 units!) and work next semester...ugh.


I'll just try and remember these images as I suffer in homework hell:


The beautiful city of Florence



The best Cappucinos ever!



A Santorini sunset...



Okay, one more Santorini sunset...



Feeling this relaxed and content :)

Ah - and so finally Europe in sight

Currently listening to: Bubbly - Colbie Caillat

Yep - FINALLY...we get to go to Italy and Greece. Yay!

Here's the breakdown:

Three weeks - longest vacation I have ever had...or I should say will have.

I better get my ZZZZ's...

Sunsets can set your mood

Currently listening to: The Blower's Daughter - Damien Rice



It's great when you have a long weekend. What can be greater than that? A sunset...



Here's what I saw tonight about 7:04pm:


Awww... puts you in the right mood doesn't it? Had to pull over and capture it.


So glad we get tomorrow off...

Wow - long time no see my friendly blog. I'll try and be better...no guarantees though.

Let's see - two movies watched this past weekend: Spiderman 3 and Shrek the Third. I'm sorry to say folks, but keep your money and wait for DVD... or TV for that matter.

I saw Spiderman on the IMAX, and although the action sequences were good...the rest could have used major help. Not enough build-up of the villains...and too many villains. Shrek was entertaining and had it's funny moments - but not much of a storyline to hold it together. Oh well - we had our movie popcorn and that's what counts.

School's out and I am taking the summer off. We plan to vacation to Italy and Greece - I can't wait.

Weird Dreams

Currently listening to: Fidelity - Regina Spektor

A Happy President's day to all and belated Chinese New Year....

I slept in today until 9:40am and it was great. However, had some pretty weird dreams. Like I was going to college and living on campus in a dorm room that looked like a hotel room and one of my teachers was Claire Huxtable....yeah you heard me right.... Don't know what to inerpret from that one.

Today I really need to get my presentation together for my Abnormal Psych class but I am in a lazy mood. Maybe I just need a good dose of caffeine.

Coast to coast and back

Currently listening to: The TV in the background...

Wow - so glad to finally be home. Took a trip last night on a red-eye flight after class to Charlotte, North Carolina. Had a couple meetings scheduled there today. Unfortunately when I arrived, what was forecast as "flurries" turned in to a few inches of snow - a record as a matter of fact for Charlotte and surrounding areas. All schools were closed and so were most businesses. Seeing this on the news, I still tried proceeding to my meeting. So while most of the residents were having fun on their snow day:

This is what I was enduring while trying to still cling to hope that my meetings were actually going to happen:

I did make it to the client safely - but the meetings were cancelled as most people stayed home because of the weather. I did see about 8 accidents on my very short trip from the airport to the client.

I quickly decided to book a trip back to San Francisco right away instead of staying the night - afraid it would freeze over. That was an ordeal in itself - barely made a connection in Phoenix running like heck to catch my flight. Screaming kids sitting behind me. And for all my flights, I probably slept a total of 2 hours. Cranky cranky...

So here I am, back home. Spent a whopping four hours in Charlotte. They want me to come back next week for a reschedule - I think I need to rest before deciding on that one....

We are Dreamgirls...

Currently listening to: Fergaliscious - Fergie

Just saw Dreamgirls tonight... It had much better acting then I thought. However, I am puzzled as to why Jennifer Hudson would be considered a "supporting" actress? She's the main chracter in the movie! Interesting. For those of you a little weary about seeing a "musical", most of the music in the movie is in the performances. So yes, they do converse - no snapping singing and dancing the entire time.

Yesterday went to see Babel... and after seeing a movie like that last night - you need something musically uplifting like Dreamgirls for today.
