Album Reviews

BRITNEY SPEARS- CIRCUS
I am a devout Britney fan, so my review will be biased. I already have the leaked album along with the bonus tracks. All the songs aren't bad, except for perhaps "Mmm Papi" and "My Baby". I really like "Amnesia" "Blur" "Kill the Lights" "Circus" and "Mannequinn". The songs are very "bitchy glamour" which is of course the singer's persona. Yay Team Britney!

KANYE WEST- 808s and HeartbreakVERY emo and depressing. It's all done with the vocoder, the beats sound the same, and he's singing instead of rapping. Some songs are okay, but it's a different path Kanye is going and I'm not much of a fan.


GUNS N ROSES- CHINESE DEMOCRACYUm, I like some of the songs on there after finally listening to all the songs. I believe you have to be a true rock fan or GNR fan to appreciate the music they produced here. Yeah, it's not like their previous hits but I can hear where they rocked it out on the guitar riffs and vocals.

Twilight Thoughts

Last weekend was the release of "Twilight" and I saw it on Saturday because I could not handle feeling left out of the discussion. I have read all the books in the series and I loved them, but I knew after seeing a preview that the movie was going to be an EPIC FAIL. The acting sucked, the lines were even cheesier than when I first read them, and the choice in actors did not hold up to the book's portrayal of the characters.

However, because I had already braced myself for this, I was able to enjoy the movie for what it was. I can't wait for the second movie to come out! :) I wish I had my own version of Edward Cullen.

Thanksgiving 08

So it took me 5 hours to drive from San Diego to LA on Wednesday. I left at 1:45pm and I got to the Valley at 6:55pm. WTFRICK. I was so hoping to beat traffic, but I was wrong.

Turkey dinner was great, but like always, unless you have a large family, it was a little understated since it was just my 5person family. But, I was very thankful for the simplest things and family of course.

History

Tuesday Nov. 4 BARACK OBAMA IS ELECTED PRESIDENT!!! Change is upon us.


However, the passing of Prop 8 reminds us that we still have a problem accepting differences.

I Don't Live in a Cardboard Box

Yeah, so I finally moved out of the living room and I got my own room now!! I'm living at University Woods near Arriba and Camino Calma. I love my closet space, the housemates are really cool, and I'm still really close to everything. The only thing concerning me is how I'm going to pay rent and my loans if my job doesn't give me more hours. Sigh..

I've been seriously lagging it on the unpacking process. I still have a huge pile of clean clothes to hang and fold, and there's another big box of clothes I haven't really sifted through yet. However, my shoes have been arranged and the ones still in boxes have been stacked away neatly haha. Looking around, my floor looks like the fitting room floor of JC Penney after a sale. I really like having my own space and privacy.

Sib Revealing Fall 2008

Alpha Theta Pledge Class.... ew. That makes me sound sooo OLD. Anyways, it was held at LJ Shores again (yay). The class is definitely a lot smaller than the usual numbers we get, but that's not a bad thing. It just means it could be easier for the class to bond and communicate. My line has a new babySexy, Judy Yip! The Alpha theme, Alphawockeez, is really cool.

It got kinda hot as the day went along, unfortunately, we didn't utilize the ocean like we did in the past. I guess, that was a good thing because once people started hurling others into the water, Membership pretty much lost control of the actives/pledges for 20 minutes lol. Good job to Jon & Christy for pulling it off!

If I was to give advice to anyone planning & executing an event, never give the masses an option to end an event early when there are still more things the coordinators had planned for the day. The only time you do that is if there is an emergency, or the attendees are constantly complaining and requesting to terminate the rest of the itinerary -- basically when things are going wrong. Because 90% of the time, people are never satisfied and they don't really know what they want.. so of course they'll never fully appreciate the work a coordinator puts into his/her event.

Halloween 2008

It was definitely interesting. On Thursday I dressed up as a doll with a love for the color pink. Got a drink spilled on me and after that the night was pretty much done. The house party was cool, but got broken up way too early. Stumbled into my room at 12am.

Friday went to a couple of house parties. One was a Delta Sigma Phi frat party. Dressed up as a "sexy intern" lol.

Next year, I am determined to either go to Santa Barbara or start the celebration sooner than Thursday night :)
