Thursday, October 30

Topic: music

*I hope everyone bought the new Cure album 4:13 Dream. It is getting decent reviews; there are some tracks that are much stronger than others. Underneath The Stars is AMAZING and a classic Cure track :) You can stream the whole album on their Myspace page. Love them!!


*I need to find a way to get the new Justin Lo album. He is so cute and a great singer.


*Anyone doing anything interesting or fun for Halloween? Anyone going to dress up? I was thnking of going as a Cure fan ... ha ha.

*Work is making me tired and grumpy :(

Topic: work, hair, Lost

*I think the lay offs at work shook some people up. The economy really is a sad mess now. I guess the 10 plus hours a day I have been pushing at work are worth it just so I can have a job. (sigh).

*For awhile now I have been trying to grow my hair out to donate to Locks of Love after a friend of mine did it. It took awhile and I thought about just hacking it all off once but but I finally got to the 10 inches I needed. It feels odd to have such short hair but I like it. Even if I do look like a Chinese page boy now. Oh well.

*I realized almost EVERYONE I know has watched Lost. I have been pretty against the show for a number of reasons but mainly because of all the hype that surrounded it. I finally decided to give it a go and am plowing slowly through Season 1. It is actually pretty decent though I could do without most of the people on the island. So far my favorite character is Locke. He is awesome.


*Anyone else think SNL's whole presidental stuff is trying to be a poor man Daily Show? Anyone else as tired of the election as I am? Look I live in a blue state ... putting up signs here does nothing cause guess what ... Obama has this state.

Oh but there was this good segment on The World on Friday regarding Chinese voters. Here is a bit of the intro:
"According to a recent survey, one third of Chinese-American voters are still undecided about who to vote for on November 4th. Many of them are older and live in New York and California, states Barack Obama is expected to win easily and where there is little outreach going on by either campaign. So their English-speaking sons and daughters are filling the void and many of them are trying to persuade their parents to vote for Barack Obama. Host Marco Werman speaks with Yan Tai, a reporter in New York for the Chinese-language daily World Journal and Feet in Two Worlds, a project of The Center for New York City Affairs at The New School."

*New Cure album 4:13 Dream this Tuesday ... YAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAY!!!!!!

Topic: lack of updates

*So I guess the blog has been mini dying in the past few weeks? No more movie reviews or comments or anything. Sorry about all that. I've been trying to do other things beside sit at my computer all day ... I already have to do that at work and work has been getting bad. I haven't really been up to much but watching lots of tv (I love me some True Blood and Life and I can't wait for 24 to come back) and reading (still going through the Sookie Stackhouse books but also trying the Dresden Files now) and running.

*Since the last time I blogged the Dodgers didn't make it to the World Series. The lame Phillies ended up taking it and giving us a beating :( Oh well. The better team won and honestly I'm amazed the Dodgers got as far as they did. Go Tampa Bay Rays!!!


*I saw Sigur Ros who were amazing and the Swell Season(the people from the Once movie) who were so sweet and wonderful, at the Greek earlier this month.


*I went to a wedding of an old, long time ago elementary schoolmate of mine with some other old friends. It was nice but a bit random because I haven't seen the girl in a few years.

*I did AIDS Walk for the first time this past Sunday and it was fun. It was nice to be walking around Melrose and Beverly. I actually got to look at the restaurant and stores I usually whiz by in my car.


*I went to my friend's place after to try out the new Rock Band 2. Oh man that game is sick fun :) They still need to add some Cure and 80's bands on there but still good fun and I made the best character. I'll try to get a picture up so I can show you guys.


*They did a few layoffs at my company today and one of the few people I actually liked and talked to got the slip. I am so, so so very bummed. The economy is going to shite.

There was a round of layoffs at my company this week. All the publications had to let at least one person go. I was spared, but it's pretty depressing stuff. Go recession. :-(
