So, yesterday. I got up around 7:30am and dad picked me up around 8am so I could go help him with his webcam stuff. I got trillian installed on his computer so that no matter what freaking im she's using, we'll be able to talk with her. Well, something came up so she didn't go to the internet cafe. Great. *rolls eyes*
dad then took me out for breakfast at Ihop and Jeff met us there. wheee.

rest of the day was spent at home. well, at least till art class.
At art the teacher got bitchy toward me when she thought I wasn't going to start painting any time soon (even though all I was doing was figuring out were I wanted my shadows). I was totally pissed off at her, but then later on in class she came up to me and apologized for snapping at me. So yeah, I'm not pissed at her any more.
on yeah, here's what we were working on in class : click me! )
and that's pretty much it

Well, the day started off with going over to dads house at 8:30am to help him and his girlfriend get all set up with their video chat. I thought it would be simple. install yahoo messenger, log him on, tell him the correct buttons to push and then I could go sleep on the couch while they chat. Well no, life is never that simple. Not when it comes to dad and computers any way.
First off his internet connection was slow. Very slow. It took forever to get yahoo messenger install on his computer because of it. and his girlfriend was waiting at the internet cafe for us to get everything going. Not to mention it was like 11pm over there, so she was starting to just want to go home.
any way, once I do get it all installed and dad logged on, she's not online. I add her screen name, try IMing her and she's just plainly not online. (or not accepting my friend invite) But she was saying (over the phone) that she was online and that we weren't! WTF? also I kept asking "are you using yahoo messenger?" and she'd say yes, but also say "You get your dad a hotmail account, yes?" and I was like "NO, we're using yahoo."
So all in all I think she was probably not logged into yahoo but some other instant messenger and I have no idea which one ether.
*sigh* I don't get paid enough to be their tech support.

on yeah, when dad was talking with her on the phone, he was saying "my daughter is very good with computers" and I could hear her laughing, like I was the one screwing up. But whatever, I find it amusing that she seems to think she's better at me when it comes to this sort of stuff. Cuz if she was, couldn't she be walking dad through all of this? So yeah, I just find it funny. ^_^

Though dad did buy me some tea from whole foods and then took me out for breakfast for helping him out with his computer. Though unfortunately I'm going to have to go back tomorrow morning (8am to be exact) and see if I can get them set up.

wish me luck.


for dinner me, mom and Jeff went to the sports bar and we got drinks and yummy food. tehe, I'm a little drunk ^_^

and then I got home and watched my anime that finally loaded. Touka Gettan and CLAYMORE.
CLAYMORE is your average shounene type of fighting anime, while Touka Gettan is the most confusing anime I have ever seen! I'm not the only one that's confused ether!

er yeah. I'm off to bed now, I'm tired.

Yesterday I didn't really do a whole lot. I had lunch with mom and Jeff at the Vietnamese restaurant in town and then later went to class. Art class wasn't actually that bad, I guess it's because I was working on my project and mostly ignoring the teacher. yay for art projects.

and as for the 1st and 2nd, well.... I didn't do a whole lot ether. imagine that. though last Sunday me and Jeff did have dinner over at Aileen and Joe's place, which was fun. I helped Aileen with shopping while the boys went out and priced things for our houses.

oh yeah, I have an interview at Target this Friday for the photo lab! which me luck ^__^
and if I do get hired, I'll get to go to this thing! ^__^
So I really hope I get this (or any) job. Though if I do get hired at Target I'll at least be able to transfer to the Target near where we're going to be moving to. So at least I wont have to go job hunting again.

I've been up since 3am. Seriously. why you ask? beats me. Well, actually it was probably a combination of coughing from allergies and Tiger meowing constantly to be let into moms room. Ether way I was awake at 3am and around 4am I decided to have a Penn & Teller Bullshit! marathon since I just received season 4 in the mail yesterday. I still haven't watched like 3 episodes, but I've pretty much watched them all.

any way, YESTERDAY

Yesterday I had tea with dad at Peet's, and dad actually got tea as well. I had to pick one out for him since he doesn't know anything about tea. so I decided since he likes drinking tea in Chinese restaurants that probably means he likes oolong since that's normally what Chinese restaurants serve. (though some serve jasmine and the one near the house serves some sort of black tea) So I picked out one of the two oolong teas they had (Phoenix Mountain Oolong) and he said he liked it. though I had him try some of my tea (which was the Snow Leopard) and he said it actually liked it better. so next time I know to pick out a white tea for him.

After that we walked around the new Theater District since most of it wasn't fenced off any more and we stopped by the one store that was there already (Powell's Sweet Shoppe) since I've been wanting to see what they had. and dam, they have a lot of candy o_O"
and they have a tone of chocolate bars AND they have gelato! ^_^
When dad saw that he was like "want to get some ice cream?" and of course I said yes. So he got Vinillia bean and I ended up getting the same thing after trying a couple of different flavors. yay for gelato ^_^

After that we went to Staples so I could help him pick out a webcam with a mic so he could talk with his girlfriend in Thailand online. (cuz calling her is expensive!) and then I got it all set up at his house and he dropped me off at home.

Also between all of this I decided not to go to class since my allergies were pretty bad and my nose whouldn't't stop running ;_;
But my allergies decided to clear up around 7pm, after I already decided not to go to class *rolls eyes*
Well, I also took some medicine that actually helped. I didn't think it would help much, but surprisingly it did.

So later when mom got home we decided to go get dinner at Fugi's. Once we got there we saw Massage Envy (which had just opened up) and we were both curious about it, so we went inside so check it out. Well, we both ended up getting 1 hour messages (for $40 each!) and by time we got out of there Fugi's was close. Oh well, we got a nice relaxing message and the food at Ihop was fine ^_^

the day started off with TV and some granola for breakfast. Aileen then picked me up at 10am and we headed to Starbucks to see Kevin. Aileen also got me a drink and she got some scones, wheee ^__^
and then we headed up to Ikea! ^__^
We spent like 4 hours there o_O"
seriously. and surprisingly the only things I bought was a candle holder and some candles. So I think I did pretty good.
oh yeah, we also had lunch there, which was yummy. We shared one of their dessert plates since neither one of us wanted that much dessert. Well, even between me and Aileen is was still too much dessert and we ended up not eating half of it o_O"
and it's not so much that there was a lot, it was just really rich. Yummy but really rich. the sort of thing you only want a little bit of, other wise it gives you a stomachache.

any way, after Ikea we headed back to town and went to Whole Foods. Aileen bought her dinner stuff for the week and invited me over to dinner, so I went over there and helped her cook. ^_^
Loki is such a loudmouth, so much like Killer. (the black cat in the photo above) They have a lot of things in common with each other, though Loki defiantly has his own little personality. like the hair eating thing o_O"
any way, so we had dinner and tea and watched Cat Soup.

and now I'm back home. Over all it was a very fun day ^_^


oh yeah, if I forgot to mention this (cuz I think I did) Jeff is still up in Annwfn with Joe working on clearing out the Ancestral Lot. So yeah, they wont be back till Friday or at the latest Sunday.

Yesterday I didn't do a whole lot in the morning. I returned my netflix movies and surfed the net. that's really about it.

Around 2pm I had coffee with dad at the Tea Room Cafe downtown. I got white tea and this really yummy lemon pudding cake thing ^__^
and then Aileen called me and asked if I wanted to go to Fugi's with them. So I had dad drop me off and for some odd reason Fugi's was close o_O"
so we ended up eating at Beyond The Glory, which was fun ^_^
I had a gummy bear (some sort of mixed drink) and crab cake sandwich, yummy ^_^

Later in class the teacher lectured for what seemed like hours (though it was an entire hour.) and my brain was going to explode if I didn't get out of there. So at break I called mom and asked her to pick me up. Also I had a neck ache that wasn't helping ether.

and that's it.

I've actually been pretty busy today. Well, compared to most days any way.

First Part of the day
This morning we had breakfast with dad at Lyon's and I drove there ^_^
and look, we're still alive! ^__^
After that we went to whole foods to get some of that yummy cheesy bread (made by La Brea Bakery), Fugi apples and some brie. (Cowgirl Creamery MT TAM, it's really yummy ^_^)
We then headed to Safeway (I drove) to buy food for this weekend, since we're heading up to Annwfn for Ostara tomorrow. by the way, the fugi apples at Safeway are pathetic compared to the ones at whole foods. Seriousely. The ones at Safeway were so tiny o_O"

After that we went to the Rose Garden Nursery (and someother one that I can't remember the name of) to buy a tree to plant up in Annwfn. We ended up getting one of those two in one types of apple trees. It has one branch for fugi apples and another branch for granny smith apples ^_^

Afternoon
me and Jeff hung out at the house for a while (I downloaded a whole bunch of sims 2 stuff from here) and then Jeff dropped me off at Kaiser for my appointment. one of the things we talked about was me getting a job, which would probably be a good idea. Also an incentive for me to get a job would be so I could save up to go to THIS. I've been wanting to loss weight and it sounds like a good program. here's a blurb from the web site

"This program is for everyone looking for realistic answers. Kripalu’s Integrative Weight Loss program offers a comprehensive curriculum that supports a healthy, long-term weight-reduction process. Guided by an exceptional faculty that includes nutritionists, exercise physiologists, fitness professionals, life-management coaches, and senior-level yoga teachers, you’ll learn how to shift into a natural, balanced relationship with your body. Come nourish yourself and invite changes that will continue to unfold long after you return home."

So yeah, I think it would be really interesting to go to. it involves health classes, cooking classes and yoga, can't beat that combination ^_^
plus she said she had heard a lot of great things about that place. so yay! ^_^

School
Well, class was alright except for one thing. When we were doing our group projects I was taking pictures and when the teach came over and Aileen took a picture she got all pissy and was like "I said no electronics in class" and "your not supposed to have those here." umm hello? this is a college, not a high school; I don't believe there are any 'no electronics on campus' rule. Also she never said anything about electronics in general, she just said she didn't want us listening to our music! and plus, it's not like I was bothering anyone, I was just taking picture of us working on our project! I swear, this teacher is annoying. One minute she's nice and the next she's all bitchy. *rolls eyes*
We miss you Machiko, please come back ;_;

I really didn't do a whole lot today. me and mom stopped at Starbucks before going to get our allergy shots and got a couple of drinks. Also mom bought me a cute new cup ^_^
I've been wanting a new tea cup and I thought it was a good size and REALLY cute ^_^

We also went to Cafe Bella (new restaurant) for dinner to celebrate me finally getting my drivers permit. I know, it's taken me long enough, but I'm just not good at studying >_<
and plus I just get so nervouse on test that I end up bombing the test >_<
oh well, at least I passed this time ^_^

So today I went to the DMV to take my drivers permit test. I failed the first time, but the guy said I could come back later today and try again, which is what I did and I actually passed! ^__^
YAY!! ^___^

school
The new teacher was a bit of a bitch at the beginning of the class since she was all like "You can not listen to you ipods or whatever in this class!" because 'you can't draw off of other people when you are in your own bubble' and 'you have to realized it's not all about you', which really didn't make any sense what so ever. ok, wanting us to be more award of what's going on I can understand (not like, but understand), BUT the whole 'it's not all about you' thing really pissed me off, cuz exactly what is greedy about wanting to listen to your music while you do your art assignments?
eh, whatever.
any way, after the first part of class she got better and was less bitchy and actually kind of nice at moments. and on the plus said, I can understand what she's saying! English is NOT her second language! ^__^
and while I don't hold that against Machiko, it still made the class a little hard with not being able to understand her. so yeah, that's a plus for the new teacher.

I decided I'm going to start a new photo project, where I take photos everyday to kind of document what's going on in my day and then post 5 of them.

any way, to explain the photos, yesterday me and Jeff worked on the garden a bit. We bought tomato cages and also bought another tamato plant and some other plant that I can't remember the name of. The garden is looking pretty cute ^_^
I can't wait till the tomatoes start to grow ^_^
and really, that was about all the interesting things we did yesterday.
