I think everyone I know should either create their own adult middle-school yearbook photo or recruit someone to make one for them. I'mma start it off this weekend.
(Or not. I'm quite fickle and lazy. But really, I think this is ace!)

Saw The Fray last night at the Fillmore. They are greeeeat live. Sort of Ben Folds meets Coldplay. The lead singer has a fantastic voice and the lead guitarist, who also sings really well, is HOT. Alas, I think the drummer might be retarded (and by retarded, I do not mean gay).
The highlight, though, was nonmusical. After the singer of the opening band, Augustana, announced that the bassist was Asian, a girl walking in front of me and my friend Pha looked at Pha, who is Hmong, threw up her hand for a high five and said, "YEAH ASIAN!"
"That's the first time I've ever gotten props for being Asian," a laughing Pha said.
That is sooooo going to be our new greeting.

Yes, that's right, I think I shall be attending the prom.
On a related note: Have you seen that episode of Sex and the City in which Carrie attends some homo hop prom with Stanford after he finds out that his beloved boyfriend was an escort in a past life. The music, the reconciliation, the dancing by herself. It made me tear up the first (few) time(s) I watched it. Love.

I'm in Colorado, visiting the fam. On the drive from the airport, I learned that a man broke into my uncle's house. When he and his wife went downstairs at 2 a.m. to investigate a noise, they found a middle-aged man just standing, frozen, in the middle of the living room. They freaked, screaming at him and ordering him to leave. He just stood there. CREEPY.
My uncle finally dragged him out of the house and he ran to a car. The next day they found out that he'd done the same thing to some neighbors. It turns out that the guy's wife recently left him, setting him off. Now totally bonkers, he breaks into people's houses looking for her. CREEPY.

Free public transportation coupled with freakisly warm and fogless conditions along the coast made this the perfect day to head to Ocean Beach. I told my roommate I was going and she asked if I had sunscreen. I totally lied to her, as if she were my mother. "Uh ... yeah!" I said, rather unconvincingly. Next thing you know I'll be grabbing a $20 bill from her lady purse.

A couple of months ago I did something truly crazy: I bought pre-ripped designer jeans.
Here's the thing. When I shop, I don't like to buy just one thing. I feel like if there's not more than one item I covet, I shouldn't whip out my check card. So I was at Macy's and I finally found a denim jacket, something I'd been looking for for ages (and subsequently have decided is not that great -- boo), but I couldn't find anything else I wanted ... until I strolled into the super trendy young men's section and spotted 65 percent-off jeans. The only problem: the holes! Still, I bought them, mostly so I could get the jacket. And I'll tell you something: Holy jeans are really nice on hot days like today. A nice breeze up your drawers will cool ya down. For reals.
Also, on a related note, I never thought I'd be a flip-flop person, but I totally am becoming one. Look what California is doing to me.
