OCTOBER

10.1.2000
A nice Lazy Sunday. EMT guy was supposed to take me out tonight but he left me a message saying that he was too "tired" or something. HMPH! I went to see Best in Show with Quang and Huyen again. It was pretty funny. Though it lacked too much plot to make it a great documentary. I still thoroughly enjoyed it. We then got new curtains for the living room and I sat and watched TV as my brother repainted the wall. I would have helped but it was his LATE birthday present to my mom.

Yah! It's Monday! Anywho, Whilst I was at school this saturday, my brother and sister in law took my cousins to the santa cruz beach boardwalk. No, this isn't going to be one of Nam's tirades of anger in which I complain that I couldn't go. This commentary, in fact, stems from an e-mail I got from Andrew Pulte regarding my sending him a Sequoia. He e-mails me back because he said he liked my homepage and this reminded me of his idea of making a maize maze. Yes, a giant maze, or labrynth if you will, made of corn. Megan drew a design for him and everything. It was all the rage at the Hoft Farm last summer. Anyway, to his dissapointment, we found out that the idea had already been actuated. Well, my brother tells me last night, during his adventure putting up a curtain, that he had been driving toward santa cruz when Huyen saw a sign that said Maize next right. Huyen likes to buy produce off the side of the road. I really don't know what the thrill is, but you can't help it. There can be mounds of perfect fruits and vegetables at the local supermarket and you'd just pass them by. But, if there are migrant workers selling stuff from the back of a truck, it magically seems like a good idea... and worth it. SO, they follow these maize signs for about thirty miles and low and behold.... It wasn't a corn vender... It was an infamous Maize Maze. They took an hour to get through this. Pulte is supposedly coming to California. So, if he's got some extra time, I'm gonna take him to this Maize Maze.

Enough about corn... Its Pumpkin Time, most of you have already heard, but I'll say it again just in case. I am a pumpkin fiend. I can't carve pumpkins, I make a terrible pumpkin pie, and Most pumpkins are heavier than I am, but I just love going to the Pumpkin Patch to pick one every hollows eve. I think it comes from a Linus complex I developed from my childhood devotion to The Peanuts. Anywho, in my search for the all inspiring pumpkin patch in which the Great Pumpkin will appear, I come across an add in the METRO. Vol16 #31 PG 85... Uesugi Farms, Pumpkin Patch 2000. Its got Tae Kwan Do exhibitions, Jugglers, a train ride, a hot air balloon, and a 4000 pumpkin pyramid! I am so going. The festivities only happen during the weekends starting October 14.. I was thiking of doing a day trip some Sunday after that. YAH! Perhaps this year the Great Pumpkin will visit this patch. So, all you good little boys and girls line up!

P.S. I hate Mr. Cutie Head

 

(BELOW: This is a special game.... Which dancers aren't elicia?)

I went for a late dinner with Mr. GQ... A funny thing about Mr GQ, I call him that but he's always dressed scuzzy. He renamed my cats Bilbo and Fuzzy Lumpkin... Hee Hee. Anywho, I've come across some funny ass laws from various states and have decided to give some highlights from each state everyday.
Stupid Law of the Day:
Alaska - While it is legal to shoot bears, waking a sleeping bear for the purpose of taking a photograph is prohibited. It is also considered an offense to push a live moose out of a plane.

 

10.4.2000
I went to the Police Department to get my finger prints scanned since I'm working for the city (It seems to be mandatory). I found out that my pinkies are not accepted by the finger print scanning machine... So all my fingers are on record and my pinkies failed. Does this mean I can't use my pinkies at work? I dunno. I saw The first episode of the last season of Voyager... Quite interesting, quite interesting indeed.
Stupid Law of the Day:

School was school... finals are coming ugg... Fortunately I went to see Paula West tonight with Karen, RIch, Elicia, Rob and Hank. Paula was orgasmic! Her vocal intonation is always a treat to the senses. Before hand we had gone to TinPan on Market street for dinner. Rob bought some stuff but he left it in my car. I wonder if Richard's gonna send the stuff to him or if it's been lost forever

May Mr. Cutie Head burn in the abyss that is fornamed Hell.

Did the normal round of graves at the cemetary in rememberance of all the dead people today. I then went to lunch with Chris from Boston! We used to work at Justifacts Credential Verification together. Sau, Karen, Kim, and Corey were there as well. They had the nastiest looking water at Flourishing Gardens Restaurant. I was disgusted. But the food was decent. Sau and I got into our usual arguement. These arguements are actually a good thing because it's more of a challenge to see who can argue better than the other than actually being angry at each other. Anywho, I bought her some fabric to make a vietnamese dress when I went to vietnam, so she went to a seamstress to get it made. But, they had promised her to get it done before the lunar festival. Unfortunately, they didn't. So, Sau said that she decided not to pay for the dress and not pick it up because the lady was late. I told her that she better pick up that dress because I lugged that damn fabric around from half way across the world so that she could have it! We'll see what happens. Then I went to do the light hang for the Rainbow Theater in Milpitas. The children are adorable as usual. They're doing some excerpt from Tom Sawyer and Huck Finn

I hope Mr. Cutie Head doesn't die before I see him next, cause I want to kill him myself!

Anyways, I don't have much to say for this time period due to the fact that I was studying for and taking my finals. I have also done my best to forget the happenings of the last few days due to a memory core dump due to the unnecessity of remembering anything I needed to know for my finals. I do remember that Mr. Cutie Head really pissed me off this week for various reasons. But, that's none of your business! :

Stupid Law of the Day:
IOWA - In Fort Madison, the fire department is required to practice fire fighting for fifteen minutes before attending a fire.

 

10.18.2000 to 10.31.2000

I had a very interesting end of the month, I left my job at GoTo for a better job at another company. I then found a job I liked at Stream Theory and moved over to do their Technical Support. Karen has gone to Stream Theory too. So, once again we’re working together. They said I could bring my cats but I’ve decided not to because my cats love it at home!

Richard and Elicia announced that they would be moving to Santa Monica because of Richards new job offer at Sony. It’s good cause Richard believes he’ll never make enough money to afford a home in the Bay Area. It seems that this has triggered a rush on their marriage though. They  moved the wedding from 2002 to next year…. Well whatever suits their fancy.

Richard, Elicia, Her mother, and I went to see the Maize Maze that brother and sister went to. I thought it was cool. I was very annoyed however with the dead ends. We also went to look at Victorian Homes and other places in which the two could have the wedding ceremony. After a long calculations they decided to have it at Shadowbrook in Pacifica. It’s a great restaurant.

Mr. Cutie head then came back from his travels and made me a nice dinner. He had stuffed salmon, steamed asparagus with butter, steamed prawns, and an awesome risotto. It was good. He also gave me my birthday present… a very cute ESQ watch. It’s a woman’s watch. He thought it was mens cause it was in seemed to be in the mens section. But the store put both sexes together in one display.  It looks really cute on me though. I gave him a Playstation 2 since I knew he wanted one. He was so excited… He did a cute little “I got a playstation” dance. We didn’t get to play though. We ended up hanging out with his neighbor all night long.

He told me he wanted to go shopping for Halloween costumes on Saturday. Well that’s what he told me. I have a feeling he just said it accidentally over the telephone cause he really planned to go shopping for costumes with his Ex… ugg. So, I was grumpy at school the next day cause I couldn’t come over since his Ex was around. Those Ex’s are so problematic. They aren’t together anymore so it shouldn’t matter if I’m around should it?

Anywho I was sorta got unhappy with him because of that. Then I found out one of my old friends was in a plane crash in Taiwan. I took two days to find out if he was ok. He died. It took me by surprise. I didn’t get to go to his funeral because his family decided to bury him in Taiwan. It made me pretty crazy that week. I was really unhappy on Halloween night. Mr. Cutie Head called me that night.. I think he was calling to say hi… but what I got out of it was that he was calling to remind me that he wasn’t spending Halloween with me and that he was going to spend it with his Ex instead. So, I was very angry at him and attempted to argue with him. He’s a salesman though and he’s good at twisting arguments around and by the time his cell phone had cut off, I wasn’t able to get any of my arguments in and I got very angry at him. I guess it wasn’t too much his fault though. I knew we weren’t going to spend Halloween together and I was just unhappy about the other events that have been happening.

I think I got him mad cause I e-mailed him some nasty stuff… I don’t think he’s talking to me anymore… However I can’t tell cause he sometimes doesn’t contact me for ages and never returns my phone calls when we are in good terms.

Stupid Law of the Day:
