Quite a few years ago I discovered one of my favorite bands, Koop. I absolutely love their music! I was lucky enough to see them perform live at the El Rey Theatre in L.A. and they are really amazing musicians. Anyway, Koop will often use different vocalists to sing on their tracks which is how I discovered Yukimi Nagano. I fell in love with her voice and she became one of my favorite female

Today is my birthday and I am now 24 years old! I got an iPhone and a Playstation 3 which I am both very excited about. Another very cool thing I am getting is a promotion at work. Starting next week I will officially be a manager at my store. I've never been the manager of a lot of people before so this will be a really great learning experience for me. I am going to be the coolest manager...

This is a picture of my new little puppy Cokey. He is a maltepoo which is a cross between a maltese and a poodle. He was born on October 7th 2007. Cokey enjoys chewing on my hand, diving head first onto people's feet, playing tug-of-war, barking at birds, munching on leaves and twigs, watching cars drive by and going to the pet store.

I didn't plan on dressing up this year but I changed my mind at last minute so my "costume" consisted of whatever I could find in my closet. Eventually I came up with this 70s look. =)Below is a picture of me and my friend Melissa. We ran into each other at a local halloween carnival. It was a nice surprise to see her. I had a happy halloween filled with lots of candy and I hope everyone else

I absolutely love Radiohead's music! Their new album "In Rainbows" (that I happily paid for!) sounds really good, beautifully unique as always. There has been a lot of talk going around about the way Radiohead decided to release their latest album. Many people believe that they have started a revolutionary trend in the music industry by independently selling their new album from their website at

I am really enjoying the recent development of sophisticated social networking sites. There are tons of really cool and useful concepts that are being implemented into them. I will have to post a list of my new found favorites soon. In the mean time, check out my super cool and informative little tumblelog on Tumblr.

I have been working on my essay for school all day. The last few days actually. I find it difficult to analyze 1 specific aspect of a fictional short story in a minimum of 5 paragraphs. I am used to summarizing a story not analyzing it. I don't have that "critical eye" when I read through a story. I'll usually just read it and then when I am finished I'll say, "Gee, that piece of literature is

George Bush has made it clear that he does not like to read. So I was thinking how beneficial it would be for him if every morning someone would gather his presidential documents and record them all into audiobooks. These audiobooks could then be uploaded onto an iPod that he can listen to while hunting, playing golf or riding his bicycle ;)

I had my tongue pierced on March 1st. It happened on a whim, totally unplanned. The initial piercing is completely painless but the healing process is similar to torture. The long barbell that allows for swelling is way too long for the inside of my mouth! It is very uncomfortable to adjust to. Chewing, spitting, yawning, picking food out of my teeth and pronunciation of certain words have all

I have come to realize that I am obsessed with glitter. If I could, I would put glitter on almost everything I own. Something about it just makes me happy. My dopamine levels surge when I see sparkly things.

I hate being sick! It sucks. I have the flu or something. Oh no! There is a happy, good little cell in my body right now that is trying to be overthrown by some fat, ugly virus thing.

I have learned that this holiday was given to us by the ancient Celts. Druidic priests regarded October 31st as the end of the old year and the beginning of the new. Celtic New Year's Eve. Not only was it their day for celebrating their harvest, it was also their day of Samhain, which is a festival for honoring the dead. Samhain means "summer's end". October 31st is for celebrating the dead and

A goldfish I once knew and loved went to fishy heaven this evening. His name was Little Fishy. We had a special bond. I used to peer into his tank and he would swim up to the glass waving his little fins and flapping his little gils as we made eye contact. He liked to follow my finger around the perimeter of his tank for fun. Sometimes I would hear him making bubbles at the surface of his water.

I am so excited! On November 25th I am going to see the one and only Henry Rollins in San Diego! "25 years of Bullshit" is the name of the tour he is currently on. It is a spoken word tour which is so cool because his way of thinking is very logical and to the point. His aggressive manner is fierce and intimidating, which makes him even more attractive. ;) The venue I will see him at is called

ToorCon as a whole is way beyond my intelligence but I love attending the conference for the bits and pieces I do understand. After it is over I feel motivated and inspired to be much smarter and so much more aware when I am on my computer. It would be really cool if one day I would have something to contribute to a conference such as ToorCon.
