SEPTEMBER

9.4.2000
Well, I'm trying to put together this damn webpage thing, and its giving me a headache. However, I suppose it can only get better right? Labor Day weekend is winding down to an end. I went to my cousins bachelor party this weekend. A bunch of female strippers and crap. Pretty much nothing interesting for me to see but at least I got to celebrate my cousins pending marriage!

 

9.5.2000
I just got two kittens from the Human Society. They are about three to four months each. Ones cream colored with orange markings... I named him Alejandro.... the other is an orange tabby whom I named Mr. Matzo Ball. The short haired brothers are the most adorable thing in the world! Oh yeah, I got "Queer as Folk" in the mail the other day. Queer as Folk, if you haven't heard, is a British comedy situated in Manchester's Canal Street depicting the lives of three gay men. It's wonderfully seductive and exquisitely addictive! I recommend that everyone find a way to get their hands on this tv series!

Ok, people!!! Nam's Birthday Party, Elicia and Jennifers Bachelorette Party and Nam and Karen's Summer Block Party Extravaganza is happening this weekend!!! The stripper has been booked.... And let me tell you the trial we had to ordeal in order to get a male stripper. Since the party is going to have both men and women, many of the male strippers in the San Francisco Bay Area that we were trying to book were "scared off" because they were reluctant to perform around men. Now, I don't know about you, but I always thought strippers just stripped for money. Its just a show like any other form of entertainment isn't it. The guys are just going to be there because its a mutual party!! What gives? Perhaps they are afraid the other guys would laugh at them.. or maybe they are sickened by the fact that men may also be admiring them. Hmmm... thought I..... a bashful stripper? What a strange oxymoron I have discovered. Anywho, we finally found one and hope to god he isn't ugly! But aside from that, the party is gonna have good food and lots of alcohol to unleash the wonderful world of craziness upon my humble abode! PARTY BABY!

Happy Birthday Robyn!

It's my old friend Robyn's birthday today so everyone think happy thoughts for her, even if you don't know her. I had a date with this "cute EMT guy" tonight in Berkeley. I whooped his ass in pool... and I had one gimp contact lens and a crooked cue too!!! :) But, fortunately he was a nice guy

Happy Birthday to ME!

YAH! Its my birthday!!! I have decided to celebrate by calling in sick and waking up late. But, my carpool already knew that in the beginning of the week... hee hee. I went to the nursery to get the orchids I had on backorder. One was really gimpy so I had that one sent back.... I'm planning to have a nice quiet birthday today and go out dancing tonight with "Mr. Cutie Head"! Who's Mr. Cutie Head? Well, I like talking about my dates.. but I decided not to use their names so that they don't feel "too" embarrassed about what I say on this page, instead I have devised easy to remember nicknames for them! Anyways, I've decided I really like Mr. Cutie Head.

I have to go to school tommorow... and then I get home and have the bad-assed party in the history of the universe. OH, and yes I'm looking for a new picture, cause this one really sucks. This picture makes me look spectacular.... I'm far better looking than spectacular.

Then of course, I must give a Happy Birthday Hoorah to Megan..... Hoorah! She's a birthday buddie of mine :) We are just like twins .. but born in different years.

PARTY PARTY PARTY

Nam and Karen's End of Summer Extravaganza and Elicia and Jennifer's Bacheloreete Party was a complete success. Hours of raunchiness and pure wonderfulness! Someone left their camera at my house though. Oh well, more stripper pictures for me :) I would like to thank everyone who came for coming and I would like to tell the people who didn't show up (even though they said they would) to fuck off! Of, course I ean fuck off in the nicest, most sincere manner. Renee has been forgiven since Lori says she was sick and Mai had school... I guess. I got this neat cd holder made out of a license plate, a gift certificate to the rain forest cafe with matching keychain, a card with a Shakespearean Quote on it, Persian Music, Two Kitty Kats and Kitty toys. Oh, and something from Lori that hasn't arrived yet. I'm so happy! Mr. Cutie Head didn't get me anything though :( HMPH

 

9.10.2000
Morning Clean Up Duty... and boy am I tired. I am devoting this day to slothing. I finally updated my pictures!!!

 

9.11.2000
Alejandro - my cat - decided to sleep with me last night... he curled under the covers and put his head on my pillow just like a person. It was so cute. I went bowling with Mariae, Kai, and Kenny tonight. I got a turkey! But, more importantly We have devised a new game called CHICKEN BOWL! Maria and I are going to try and get the rules set in stone. All we know is that it was a lot more difficult than we thought it was going to be! Oh, and it's my cousin Shannon's birthday today.. she's seven :)

 

9.12.2000
Sony's Plasma 42 inch flat screen/flat panel HDTV has gotten a 50% price drop! It's no longer $32,000 and is now at a low $15,999!!! I think I'll hold off for another price drop :)

 

9.13.2000
I went all over Valley Fair Mall to find my mom a birthday present. I finally decided to get her a new persian rug. It cost me about a thousand dollars. She better like it! Oh yeah, that Ho Azin left her camera at my house at the PARTY and she expects me to drop it off to her. Yeah... whatever, she can get it her damn self :)

 

9.14.2000
Karen is getting a back facial today. I always thought facials were for the face. Lori's lighting designer quit on her the other day. Suffice to say I have volunteered to do her lighting design for a nominal fee. So, i have to run all the errands necessary for my mothers birthday celebration tonight. I'm hoping to add my picture links to this page in the future.... the distant future.

Had a quaint little dinner with EMT guy today. We had fun. But, the craziest thing happened when I left his co-op in Berkeley! I was walking to my car, which was parked in the co-op parking area behind the place. I got in the car and started the engine and began my usual baacking up procedures. Suddenly, this burly white guy runs out from his door and starts flagging me down. So, I stop and roll down my window. He then starts screaming at me saying, "You were parked in my damn parking spot. Your just lucky that the towtruck I called to tow your shitty car away broke down before it got here..." He just kept going on about how I was parked at his parking spot. OOPS :) SO, I sincerely apologized caused I really didn't know it was his parking spot, in fact EMT guy told me to park there! So the question remains... does EMT guy know the parking rules of his own co-op in which he is the president of? Or, perhaps Mr. Burly Guy was talking with a rod up his ass. Inquiring minds want to know!

 

9.16.2000
I had to go to school today. I hate school:) Well, I like to say that I hate school even though I probably couldn't live without it. But, we got to do something that I hadn't done in a long time this morning... play with mud. Yes, sports fans, my resource assessment class had a lab day in which we literally played with mud to classify each type of soil. I found it very fun and exciting. Unfortunately I was fighting to stay awake thoughout most of the lecture. That night I went to see Almost Famous with my sister in law. It was an awesome movie! Before hand, we went to Sushi Lovers for dinner. The sushi chefs at this particular sushi place were vietnamese. So, we sat there eating sushi and listening to them talk about the non-vietnamese speaking customers in vietnamese. I hope they don't get caught.. cause it makes for a fun show.

 

9.17.2000
I went to IKEA this morning with Richard and Elicia. Boy that place is huge. It made me very sleepy. We also had lunch at Mel's diner. They gave me the hugest chicken pot pie I had ever seen. It was the size of a regular pie.. It was frightening!

 

9.18.2000

I'm having metabolic fit this morning :(It makes me overly emotional.... I miss Mr. Cutie Head... Oh yeah.... Nam and Richard's Japanese Odyssey, Summer 1999 East Coast Roadtrip, Summer 1999 Slothing at Martha's Vineyard have just been added above!!

 

9.19.2000
Ok, More pictures have been added throughout and my graduation pictures are up now!

 

9.20.2000
I went to Hungry Hunter with Karen, Richard, Elicia, Azin and Mariae today. We talked about mastication and finishing schools (burp). Azin is going off to Davis to get her Masters in Creative Writing.... Guess we won't see her for another two years :(

 

9.21.2000

Mr. Cutie Head made me angry. I didn't get any birthday present from him, he made me angry at my party, and he didn't have time to see me before he went off to whereever for a month. And he doesn't call me until the last minute to tell me that he wasn't going to be able to see me today. And I got all dressed up for nothing. :( HMPH

 

9.22.2000
I still hate Mr. Cutie Head.

 

9.23.2000
The hating of Mr. Cutie Head continues.

 

9.24.2000

I hate Mr. Cutie Head. But, I went to the Alice Now and Zen Festival with Karen, Richard and Elicia Today. We started the day by driving to SF and seeing some Victorian Mansions to give Rich and Elicia a taste of what their wedding venues could look like. We then got to the Festival and saw Keanu's band Dogstar stink up the place. Elicia and I staked our place on our blanket in the lawn area and the other two disappeared on us for an hour and a half. We got to see Travis though. He's got an orgasmic scottish accent :) The GoGos were pretty tame and Tonic didn't do all to great either. Beck sang very well but the whole atmosphere of the crowd was too lazy for the concert to have been ranked any good... So I give the event a general blah performance. Not bad ... just ok. We then went on a wild goose chase looking for a cab. It was dinner time on Haight and Ashbury and there was no cabs anywhere. It took us about an hour to get one. We got back to my car (parked far away which is why we took a cab) and had a driving adventure because I got lost finding Market. We were supposed to go to TinPan for dinner but we ended up going to the Suppenkuche instead, which is a great german restaurant in SF. I love deer and beer :) We then drove home and I passed out from a food coma and barley allergies

 

9.25.2000
Mr. Cutie Head is a punk. Karen and I went to look at glasses at the mall during lunch today and saw so many cute ones. They were all about 500 bucks though and I didn't think they were worth them because they didn't even have designer labels! :) Oh, and the XS sizes at the gap are huge. Why is it that clothes in america are designed for fat people. If we didn't make clothes for fat people then maybe it would give them a better incentive to be thinner. I know it's mean but you can imagine my frustraton of attempting to find XS shirts and 28 waist pants (which are still too baggy). If these sizes disappear first, wouldn't you think they should manufacturer more of them? Geez, all the sale racks are filled with XXL and XL! Fortunately, I look good in women's clothes and size 0's and 2's aren't as hard to find as mens small sizes.

 

9.26.2000

I missed a call yesterday... The caller ID said it was from Mr. Cutie Heads cell phone, but he didn't leave a message. I think he dialed it by mistake or he let one of his other hootchies borrow his phone while he was a away...But, the fact remains that I didn't get to speak to him so I am now extra angry at Mr. Cutie Head.

Anywho, HAPPY BIRTHDAY RICHARD!
I stayed up last night to silly string Richard's car. One the tenants in the complex came by too watch.. it was sorta funny. I also taped paper plates with power puff girls on them around his rims and stuff. Too bad walmart ran out of confetti.
Then after work, I went to the Jewel concert with Mariae, Aaron (from highschool), Kenny, Karen, Kai , and another Erin (Kai's friend). She was ok, but she had some kick ass stories to tell. Her opener and touring partner, Steve Poltz, was awesome. He's in a band called RugBurn but he was touring with Jewel solo. He had a kickass song about starwars and Chewbacca and he had this funny way of carrying himself. He was cute in a scruffy sort of way. Jewel told a story about how she and Steve were driving down in Mexico where they end up going with some Federales on a drug bust! Quite interesting. They got some pot out of it, but gave it to some lady with arthritis. After the concert we went to get Steve Poltz' new album and we got autographs from him. Maria asked him to sing the Sesame Street song that the RugBurns have on their album. And he happily sang it to her in an octave higher than any of us could imagine. He then asked Maria for a kiss on the cheek.. It was cute. Karen was dissed and didn't get touched. I told him my name and he said, "Hey.. like the war?" and I replied, "Yeah! It was all my fault!" Karen and Maria heartily agreed it was my fault and so he signed the album, "To Nam, Its Your Fault... Love Steve Poltz." Then he gave me a hug which was sweet cause he had that cute personality thing of his going on :). Afterwards drove home and Maria told us a story that happened to a friend of hers. Her friend was driving down the high way and there was a dead cat on the road. Somewhat disgusted, her friend drove a little slower and swerved to the side to avoid running over again. The car behind was one of those hot-doggers that felt the need to pass as quickly as possible and trusted his way past Maria's friend when the opening appeared. Well, the guy drove over the feline carcass so fast that it decapitated the cat and sent the head flying through the air into her friends lap. Her friend, extremely shaken by the outcome, parks their car, gets out and starts taking off their pants because there was a severed cat head on it! So, if you ever drive down the road and wonder about how a pair of pants just happens to be wasted away on the side.... there ya go.... flying cat heads.

This was Aimee's last day at work. It was very sad to see her leave. It was pretty much Rico's last day as well... Oh well. I'm putting my cats on diet cat food now since one of them is getting a little pudgy. I figure it's better for their health to get less fat in their food anyway.

 

9.28.2000
If I didn't mention it yesterday, then I'll mention it today.. I hate Mr. Cutie Head. I went out to see The Original Kings of Comedy with Mr. GQ. Mr. GQ and I have been chatting on aol for a long time and we decided to go out and do something since we were so bored. He had a cold :p But it was a fun night none the less.

 

9.29.2000
I saw Nurse Betty with my brother and sister in law. It was really good... I didn't know white people could be so weird. Let me take that back. White people ARE weird, but I still like them.

 

9.30.2000

I went to Lake Merced to do water quality sampling and vegetation sampling for school. Oh, and I had bought a Giant Sequoia sapling for my budd Andrew Pulte from my "Slothing at the Vineyard" adventure. But, it died. I knew it was dying so I had already ordered a new one. But, the death was finalized today when my cat was dragging it around the house. I'm sending out the new one to you shortly Pulte, if your reading this

The group celebrated Richard's birthday today. We went to TGI Fridays in Union City. I had a nice jug of Guiness and a Strawberry Shortcake Smoothy thing and some awesome Jack Daniels Ribs... see a theme going on here? It was Rich and Elicia, Matt and Lori, Karen, Moi, Renee, and Robyn. Mr EMT guy invited me to a swanky party up in the city, but I couldn't go because TGI Fridays was taking too long :( Damn. He said it was a good party too. Oh Well......
