You Spin Me Right Round

I admit, I do like Flo-Rida's rendition of this song, especially after hearing it at the end of "The Hangover" haha. It's time for a grand ol' update! Today is officially the first day of summer because I consider July to be the real month of summer and not June. Funny enough, I'm listening to "You're So Last Summer" by Taking Back Sunday. But I digress...

-Congrats again to the SexyBack graduates: Helena & Kelvin :)
-In Cahoots for the first time with Helena, Stella, Shane & Helena's posse. If you're non-white and can ignore the 90% Caucasian demographic (I mean, it is a Western/Country bar), I highly recommend visiting this bar in Mission Valley especially on a Wednesday night or whatever night they have $2 specials. I love country music, I love beer/ $2 U-Call-Its, and I love dressing up in plaid/denim. Besides the nasty $8 cover charge for a fuckin bar, the drink specials pretty much made up for it because you can order ANYTHING & EVERYTHING for $2 each. Well, except for premium alcohol like grey goose and drinks on tap. But hey, no complaints from this twinkie Asian girl (I'm not really a twinkie....)
-Del Mar/San Diego County Fair: We went on the second night it was open and it was alright. Besides food, you should only really go if you're looking to spend lots of money on tickets for rides or carnival games. I recommend trying the Krispy Kreme Chicken Sandwich. DO IT.

Hm, I can't really think of anything else exciting that I might want to share other than I'm really looking forward to this long and well deserved holiday weekend. I LOVE HOLIDAYS. It's like a mini-birthday/wedding minus the gifts: it's just another reason for people to get together and drink.

Picture: That's Shane and I at In Cahoots. What you see in that picture literally explains our relationship= him staring at me in loving disbelief at how LUCKY he is to have me. HAHA :)

Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen.. my thoughts

H'okay I don't know if it's because I saw this at 3:15am or because of the movie itself... but I was satisfied with the movie overall despite the negative reviews. YOU MUST WATCH IT IN IMAX. There is no other way. Now, we begin bulletpointing my opinions on the film. SPOILER ALERT AHEAD!!

-Gratuitous shots of Megan Fox? Yes. Necessary? Not really.
-Was it long? A bit too long and not in a good way because it focused on random ass shit as opposed to the fight scenes and Sam Witwhicky's goal of saving the world and Optimus Prime
-Not once did Optimus say "Autobots, ROLL OUT!".. what a shame.
-The end battle between the Fallen and Optimus? Kinda not epic at all. Given Optimus was fighting against multiple Decepticons, but I really wanted the last fight to last more than 3 seconds. C'mon Michael ay bay Bay!!

In the end, Transformers is Transformers. It's a fuckin action movie and it is what it is. So go and watch it. Who knows when Transformers 3 will come out since Bay is taking a vacay from the franchise.

Things That I Really Want to Tell Graduates

It's that time of the year again... kids everywhere are donning those uglyass cap and gowns, and florists are making a shitload of money from parents and friends who are too lazy to make signs and are too poor to get real meaningful gifts so they opt for bouquets and overpriced graduation leis. Although I've harped on how much post-college life sucks in previous entries, this is what I'd like to say to graduates if I were their commencement speaker.

Things That I Really Want to Tell Graduates

1. It doesn't get any better after this. Seriously.
2. That night when you were drunk and you thought you had a chance at the really hot guy/girl, but you were too chicken to make a move? That just defined your whole college experience and pretty much your future. You're basically an uninspired, non-leader, self-loathing type of person who's going to end up with a job that has nothing to do with your major. (Hmm.. that kinda sounds familiar..)
3. Debt. Even when your friends and family give up on you, count on debt to always be by your side.
4. GROUP INTERVIEWS. Nothing more demoralizing than thinking you're going to be interviewed based on your overqualified experience, but instead you're treated like a high school kid applying for a position at Abercrombie & Fitch.
5. The silver lining does not exist. Keep telling yourself "At least I don't have to take midterms and finals anymore" and maybe the silver lining will magically appear.
6. Invest in a gym membership. If you don't get a job right out of college, at least you can work on that cellulite of yours.
7. Craigslist is not the best source to look for jobs, especially if the title of the listing is "Great Income the EASY WAY" and the location listed is "Your Computer".

Okay, really, though... Congratulations to the Class of 2009. You might not have worked hard for all 4 years, but you did something with your parents' money to earn that diploma and tassel. Good luck in all of your endeavors and I'll be seeing you on Facebook Chat.

The BEST Power Naps Happen When...

You pass out from drinking. There may or may not be a hangover when you wake up, but I stand by that statement. Like today, after work I had the intention of just drinking a pint of Coors Light on tap. That was quickly chased by 3 shots of "4 Horsemen". Done. I consumed a crappy gourmet version of carne asada fries, drove my drunkass home, proceeded to pass out on my bed for 2 hours. I didn't wake up until Peter called me (I passed out at 7:30pm with the intention of waking up by 8:30p to pick up Peter and meet up with the Sexy Back Line at TapEx by 8:45-9p) at 9:38pm. Although I was still a lil groggy and a teensy bit intoxicated, it was THE BEST nap I've had in a long time. Which explains why I'm still up at 2:30am when I clearly have work in the morning and I should be asleep.

I don't believe the best power naps happen after you've finished studying from finals or whatever because you're still strung up on Redbull and Adderol, plus you're a little worried about how you did on the final. Okay, you might have the best nap after sex. However, that's only if you actually orgasmed because you might pass out from all that cardio but if you didn't orgasm then you might still feel "frustrated" or angry, depending on how well your partner's efforts were or how much energy was exerted on your part.

The WORSE naps happen when you're on a plane. I'm talking about the one where you're seated in Economy Class and you're wedged next to a fat man who snores with his mouth open and a kid who doesn't know what "shut you're fucking face" means. I've traveled by plane many times so my research on this is pretty thorough. It sucks to be in the middle, but when you need to pee and the person in the aisle seat has fallen asleep and their breath SMELLS.. all you can think is "Can I wait another 4 hours to pee and try to fall asleep on my right shoulder or should I touch him and risk engaging in conversation when I return to my seat?" But the point is, the seats are way too cramped and airplane air is so stale and dry that I end up napping in 15 minute intervals... never a solid awesome nap. Random blog? Yeah, but I felt it was important to justify my drinking behavior by pointing out one of the many benefits to alcohol.

Time Had Its Way With Me

They say a person feels the most "in between" when they reach the teenage years. I think it's the worse when you're in your twenties. It's this time period where you really feel like you're standing on the border between being just an idiotic kid with a taste for alcohol and an adult struggling to leave his/her mark on the world. I've been, of course, avoiding this issue for a while now and continuing to believe I'm always going to be in my early twenties. When am I suppose to stop liking the color pink and having immature conversations with my friends about all the celebrities who are supposedly our friends? When am I suppose to get hitched and have kids? Will it one day just feel normal to become an adult? Is there supposed to be some switch?

Worse, am I supposed to already act like an adult right now? Am I behind? DO I NEED TO GET WITH THE PROGRAM?! I guess I don't really expect an answer to such an existential question since I am blogging about this instead of discussing it with a real live person. Other than paying my bills and cooking actual meals, I haven't done anything very adult-like yet. Well, besides using intensive night cream and under eye anti-wrinkle cream every night.
