Things that suck:
-spam
-the Grove tree lighting ceremony

Ok, let me just say that out of my last 20 emails, only ONE was non-spam. Absolutely ridiculous. Want a taste?

Needless to say I DID NOT purchase any Viagra.

Today was actually tons of fun. I did more today than I have in the past two weeks (unless you count sitting on my ass -- I did lots of that).

the game
We weren't shut out. That's all I was really looking for. And when it came to the last two minutes of the fourth quarter, I was really hoping that we'd break into the 22-point spread. That didn't happen, but few pipe dreams come true. UCLA falls down a lot. USC completes almost every pass. What happened was supposed to happen. It was still a very exciting game though. I'm glad I watched it (in the privacy of my own home).

More happened, but I'm tired now. Good night.

Fun Cranium moments:
1. Tony: Gay men love me. I have a big nose. I'm Jewish.
Leah: Adam Sandler!
2. Arun: It's Stonehenge!
Leah: It's Stonehenge (with one piller of misshapen clay)
3. Leah: What's that geyser?-Old Faithful!
4. Alex: What's the name of that gorilla?
Ang: What???
And many more. What a bitchin' game.

The end of yet another day with my ass firmly planted on the couch. Arun and I are quite the 007: Nightfire team, though, I may add. The ninja assassin is SO Kiko (and scary)... I wouldn't be surprised if I had nightmares of her.

The salad I ate today was pale in comparison to yesterday's spectacular turkey dinner, but then again most meals would be. I have yet to really get my appetite back however, so it doesn't really matter.

it really sucks being sick.

things fall apart. yes they do. so how do we put them back together?

I feel (slightly) better today. :) Though I'm still upset I haven't been able to go see my new niece. Wanna see what I'm missing?



Career change: I want to go to culinary school.
And the media is just going absolutely insane over this Michael Jackson thing. Disgusting.

My new nickname is NOT whoopi.

It might be time to go back to the doctor though. Not that the doctors really know what to do with me. But today was bad. I can't remember a lot of it. I can remember barely being able to hold down "1" on my cell phone to check my voice mail. That was scary.

It's ending better though. I had a couple of good hours at the end of the day. Now for a good night of rest. In a semi-clean room. Hopefully. Can you believe how long it's been?

I miss my family. And Ryan.

It's been a long time. Being home sick makes you want to do things like blog again. So let's update.

boyfriend: Ryan Sturtevant, currently in SF... but absence only makes the heart grow fonder. :)
roommates: Arun, Leah, Stacy (officially); Tony, Alex (unofficially)
new family members: Bethany Chan! (DOB: 11/10/03)
job: Administrative Specialist in UCLA GSE&IS Center X, working on the NSF Algebra Project
future plans: Applying to UCLA PhD program in Psychological Studies in Education... or culinary school... :)
health: really good for the past 6-9 months... but really bad for the last month. yuck.
current events: war in Iraq still on. Arnold as CA governor. Democratic presidential candidates campaining.
what I did today: stayed home from work with a fever. learned lots of stuff on the guitar and piano. cooked. and now this.

we'll see where this goes. :)
