phots from kelton

this is the chocolate peanut butter ice cream christie shared with me the last time we hung out. now she's graduated and going to D.C. to work for homeland security. thanks for sharing your life and your ice cream with me christie. these other two pics are outside her apt on kelton. i walked past these flowers and this brick wall every week for the whole year. they will be missed.


i love brick walls. just look at the color. ha it brings me back to memories of reading about three little pigs building their houses.

im lazy

and this is what i wore today because it was 79 and sunny.

grey

my nails are grey, but seeing as the color is a bit sheer, it looks a bit taro-y. i like it. but does it make me look dead? i feel dead anyway. cant wait til summmmmmer...

matte lessons

1. Since the polish is matte and therefore looks very dry, it's important to keep everything else moisturized.

2. top coats are shiny.

3. after a week, your nails rubbing against everything will eventually become not matte. and it sucks.

but overall im satisfied. its worth the $2.80 at F21

OLGA

Over break i asked my pops to find the oldest cameras we had in house. i was looking for one of these old film cameras.. so i can start being artsy.... ahaha. im bored of super clear quality. i dont even remember what old film looks like. so anyway, my dad was in the garage lifting some boxes when all of a sudden he got really dizzy. Fearing a heart attack or something else serious, he came upstairs right away and lay down. he was dizzy for the rest of the day and wanted to throw up.. it was pretty weird. a bit scary. BUT HES FINE NOW. HUZZAH!

we never found our old cameras. but i still want one for funzies.

and sheer tights too. to wear with the gstring connie gave me... (c, you nasty..)

the mall!

Sperry Boat Shoes : jcrew

Gem Necklace : jcrew

Bow Jacket : kate spade

Cardigan : jcrew

i went dress shopping with my mother today to look for a "mother of the bride" dress and stumbled upon some of these items at the mall. We didn't buy any dresses or any of these things, but i liked all of the little quirks on them: the blue-gray laces on the shoes makes them so much more feminine, the pastel shades and assymetrical cuts of the gems, the bow on the jacket, and you can just never have too many gray cardigans.

the bridesmaid dresses arrived a couple months ago, and with my gym regimen stepping up, its loosing its fit... should i alter it? or stop working out... HMMMMM



an aside: i dont look like my profile picture anymore D: i should update.

pho tonight!

tonight were having a dinner party for 8. my moms been making her own pho for a couple days now. she started boiling the beef bones, toasting the onions and ginger, slicing the cilantro, scooping off the fat, and my dads complaining about how he has to vacuum the dining room.. men are so terrible.

updates to come.

happy finals!

here are a couple videos appropriate for the season.. hehe







I LOVE THIS KID!

merry christmas from katy and me! we made all our ornaments last week in study procrastination. biz made that snowman, which is the "BEST SNOWMAN EVER" according to katy. she thought a girl made it.

im knitting again! connie! stitch and bitch club? lets do it.

on my knitting list:

• massive scarf a la fazedgirl
• beanies
• cable knit scarf
• MITTENS?!!?

yes im so ambitious.

coverage 2

the protests were wild. i did not appreciate the fire alarm pulling while studying for my midterm.. that was not cool. these fee hikes are also not cool, but i understand the money has to come from somewhere. UCs are only given so much money from the state. sad. money gets people so angry.

connie does better coverage. go see her.

gaaaa

Gaga in alexander mcqueen lobster claw heels.

clippers

so many to make, punch, send out.. wooooooooooo its done! im so tired

its november

and this is the forecast for the Los Angeles area

YOURE RIGHT!

HERE

im excited. lets go 3rd street M and C!

waste of a post.

i have a mini break from midterms, so im posting.

i absolutely love my view. although its just rieber hall, which is under construction, i think its pretty! love the way the trees blow around. love the palm trees that are right under my window. love the view of the turn around, and spying on people coming in and out of the building.


my mini bundles of joy!! $1 at target. :)

i really miss home. everytime i meet someone from sf, like the two i met today, i get so excited to talk about homieness. i miss it sooo!

cassel

So at UCLA, there's this lab called CASSEL: the California Social Science Experimental Laboratory. You sign up for experiments, go for an hour, and get paid in cash. its GREAT.

so i've been saving up for this jacket..

from UO.. or something like it. (okay.. go ahead and slap me for falling into the leather trend, i like it okay!) i dislike the bomber-looking elastic cuffs though.. and i wish it were real leather because polyurethane doesnt comply with CA prop 65.. or something scary.

SO TODAY AT CASSEL i made enough to get the jacket! HOLLLERZZZ PLEATHER!

rant
