The last thing I see before I go to bed...
…is the entire collection of CS Lewis’ Chronicles of Narnia.
…paved the way to 3rd place from 7th place.
…won a $10 gift certificate at our favorite trivia haunt.
Totally unexpected:
And lesson learned for the night: never eat greasy food on an empty stomach. NEVER AGAIN.
PS: FOTC concert tomorrow! I should be more excited, but I’m not. I’m actually more...

I never “LOL” at anything, but this is definitely LOL-worthy.
Why I hate my family, reason #13532
One of the dogs was making weird noises as Eileen was walking by. She pauses because the noise is odd to her, but instead of investigating, she walks past as if nothing happened!
What the hell?
I hope she never reproduces.
Target
Why is it never possible to leave Target without spending at least $50?
I bought:
5 packs of gum (special edition STRAWBERRY MINT Orbit gum!!!)
cat accessories: collar, sailor costume
Rogan for Target shirt
cat food
random toiletries
Yes, I have to admit that the shirt that I bought cost more than $25, but still! I am never walking into Target again…on a week I don’t get...
Damn you, TBS!!!
Just when I was about to get started on doing some work, TBS airs Feeling Minnesota, probably one of the worst Keanu Reeves movies I have ever seen. Vincent D’Onofrio is in it, so you would think it isn’t a complete waste of time. HOWEVER, any positive vibes he and Keanu (an especially beautiful KEANU) bring into this madness, CAMERON DIAZ cancels them out!
I try so hard to like her....
I have this song stuck in my head. It’s been...

This bitch is the real deal. Kind of makes me nauseous sometimes, but it’s pretty sweet.
Why do I do this to myself?
I think I’m the biggest procrastinator I have ever met. Seriously, as of right now this is what I have on my plate and due by the end of this week:
Four 1-page commentary essays (originally 6, but I opted out of doing 2 of them because they were really quite lame, and I don’t have time for that bullshit)
Essay on what I learned about…god knows what due Wednesday

I sold 2 of my FOTC tickets yesterday for $500.
I swapped the other 2 for a pair for Friday’s show. I am kind of regretting it now seeing that they’re shittier seats than the ones I originally had. Maybe I’ll sell these, too.
But my gut tells me to keep them and enjoy the show from my shitty perspective. There are a ton of people who wish they could be there even in the...
This is one of many conversations I have with my...
Gob: Mew mew mew.
Me: Daddy, are you Gob's friend?
Dad: Yes.
Me: Is Gob your friend?
Dad: Yes.
Me: How do you know?
Dad: He greets me.
Me: Well...
Gob: Mew mew mew.
Me: He told me he hates you.
Dad: Well, that's too bad.

NOOOOOOOOOO!
I was googling the lady who bought my FOTC tickets when my mom asked me to google her. Then I had the urge to google myself. When I do this, it usually comes up the same results, and they all somewhat refer to me. HOWEVER, today I saw this new one:

THERE IS ANOTHER PERSON WITH MY NAME OUT THERE. WHAT THE HELL?
And she’s super Taiwanese. I don’t know why I am...

The Perfect Man
OH GOD.
I don’t even know where to begin.
I think the main problem with this movie is that it tries too hard to be relevant that it dates itself. The instant messaging program they were using made me want to barf. And who the hell says everything they’re about to type? I was cracking up watching Ben Feldman and Heather Locklear IM each other. It was so ridiculously awkward, yet...
June 1
I hate my life.
I’m flying out to Minneapolis on May 31, and won’t be back in Los Angeles until June 2. I’m going to see Bert, Penny, the Minneapolis Zoo, Mall of America, the lakes of Minnesota, and of course, Annie! I was originally going to book my flight for next weekend, but then I remembered that I had a wedding—and I’m pretty sure Julia would not be too happy...

OMFG.

Get some.
WatchMacGruber! Yes, it’s from SNL, but this one is actually kind of funny.
PS: MACGYVER MOVIE. IN PLANNING STAGES. NOW. Also, how cool would it be if MacGyver and Rocky Balboa were in the same movie? Kicking ass—with their fists and smarts, but never with guns. Ooh, just thinking about it gives me goosebumps!
BUT OH MY GOD—what if you threw Jack Bauer in there?!
We’re all...
Gothika
Holy shit.
This movie was actually kind of freaky. I’m pretty sure TBS censored a lot of it, but not enough!
Halle Berry is the definition of “hot mess” and Robert Downey Jr is so amazing. And Penelope Cruz? She has really cute hair. She steals every scene in my heart—I want those bangs.
But did anyone else find it unbelieve that Halle Berry would hook up with a guy like...
Maybe the dingo ate your baby!
I always wondered why Elaine said that in an episode of Seinfeld. Sure it was funny and awkward, but I didn’t get the joke. Heck, I didn’t even realize that there was a joke.
Then I saw this:
Turns out there was this huge hubbub back in the 80s involving Australians, dingoes, the trial of the century, and a missing baby. I love Powerset/Wikipedia, helping babies like me understand...

Why does Jackie Chan speak to his sister in English? HOW DOES SHE KNOW HOW TO SPEAK ENGLISH?
But wait, how does Jackie Chan know how to speak English?!
Why is Jackie Chan wearing a wig?!
Did Charlie Chaplin really know Sir Arthur Conan Doyle before he was knighted?
And fucking, TBS! I stayed up this late just so I could catch the part where Owen Wilson screams,

Cocary Shabu Shabu BBQ
This past Saturday took us to Monterey Park, and to a restaurant that Sam “That’s Too Exotic for Me” Gin recommended. Yes, I was suspended in disbelief. Sam? Choose a restaurant south of Huntington Drive in the San Gabriel Valley? GASP!
We stepped inside, and were greeted with Asian people—EVERYWHERE. Except for the one or two white people, the restaurant was packed with...

Search Wikipedia articles. It’s kind of slow, but all kinds of awesome at the same time.
Why?
Not that I didn’t notice this before, but my right eye is definitely 12% smaller than my left eye. Sad times.

Mike & Anne's
So we went to Mike & Anne’s, a hidden gem in South Pasadena. I am sure a lot of hardcore Pasadenians know about this place, but for those of us who rarely go north of Fair Oaks, it was an absolute pleasure to discover.
They serve brunch until 230pm, so we got there around 130, but didn’t order anything until 2pm because of a certain lady named LOIS WU.
When she arrived, Selina...
Birthdays
Eileen turns…um, 16 today. So happy birthday to that fool.
But! you know who else has a birthday today?
Husband #3.
ENRIQUE (of the Iglesias nature):
He is 33 today.
Had his mole lived, it would be 33 as well.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
Who likes to rock the party?

Where’d the old blog go?
I broke it.
Really.
Wordpress sucked anyway, so I’m testing out Tumblr for now. So far it’s all right, but to be totally honest, I wish it wasn’t so simple to use.
Yeah, this is one of those nights when I should’ve just chugged down that NyQuil instead of attempting to kick the habit.
I’ve got surgery in the afternoon. I’m...
