I rented the movie Spanglish last night and was incredibly surprised. What an intelligent, witty, and perfectly casted movie! Adam Sandler plays the romance parts like nobody I've seen in a while.
Well, I'm off of work for the summer and now is when the 'work' begins, lol. I have a lot of projects and ventures that need attention, and plus plenty of time for road trips with friends. I'm hoping to do some more sketching this summer, I need to re-vamp my portfolio of work.
This weather in California has me baffled. I suppose I'll just put on my sandals and sunscreen and pack my umbrella and jacket just in case :-P

It amazes and shocks me what people will go through for money - and seeing this from the other side, it looks as though this was her plan all along.
This makes me want to throw up.

I looove Michael Jackson's music. I really do. But somethings just don't ever add up. This whole trial thing has really baffled me as to what to think of Michael.
It's a slam dunk assumption that his career is not going to recover from this anytime soon, but I wish for the Michael Jackson of old. He was so freakin' cool in the early 80's, with the Thriller & Bad albums...he went from freakin' cool to freakin' weird, and it's such a bummer.
...this is hilarious.

I'm such a sucker for celeb jabber. Maybe that ties in with my obsession with Fashion magazines, but I enjoy some really good sarcasm, as well.
I found this great blog that is a nice fix, and it's damn funny, too!
It's hot today, I have "things" to do, and I'm really in the mood for some chicken & corn chowder from Quizno's.

I'm so glad it's friday, I think I just may write, compose, and direct my own musical for the day. Life would be pretty interesting if everyone sang their way through it.
Interesting or painful, depending on who you run into.
And with that odd moment, here's some miscellany to kick off the weekend:
- I wish this fascination with Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise would just quit. Tom has lost all credibility with me, starting from years ago, but I seriously think he's going through a crisis or he's taking a HIGH dose viagra/prozac cocktail in the morning for breakfast.
- ROAD TRIPS! I'm all for them this summer and I can't wait.
- Project 51 is in full gear and WHOOOO it's going to be a doozy.
- All you peeps going to P2P this year, say hello to Kristi for me ;)

The general population would think of "that time of the month" as a ordeal, swinging moods faster than African lemars from a tree, or getting bouts of anger enough to want to kill everything in your path...
...including yourself.
Well, I won't deny that these are the ways of the wicked curse, but I've learned to lean them to my advantage. No, it's not an excuse to hoard chocolate like a squirrel in the winter, although that's a kick-ass perk, I must say. I'm no gyno, but I've found that during "that time of the month", I aquire a surge of creative energy.
Yeah, I don't get it either.
Of course, I don't get how the mere thought of food finds it way straight to my thighs, or how Britney Spears manages to still be in show business, but I'm not one to sit and ponder such things. Wondering - Pondering, two very different things, folks.
The latest product of this test study? Who else....

WonderBlog Throwback Candy of the Month
 Candy Cigarettes
My cousins and I were crazy about these bubble gum cigarettes. There was a candy store in Sonoma, CA. right next to the park where my mom's family would always get together for reunions. When all the family would meet up, all the cousins would gather up all the coins we could find and run across the street to the this store and fill up on all kinds of candy, but these Candy Cigarettes were always first on the list.
Just seeing these makes ya feel like a kid again :)

This will definitely not be one of my lighter posts, lol. It's what I like to call 'mental vomiting', since when emotions come to the surface, and you give yourself a platform (i.e. Wonderblog), words and thoughts just come flying out.
I thought the transition into summer would be a tad smoother than it's turning out to be. It always seems to happen like this. I'm not a big fan of the heat, so maybe when I'm cranky and hot in the summer I let that mood steep into other areas unconsciously.
So far, things have been great, projects have been moving along nicely, my multitasking hasn't left me for dead yet, and I'm taking control. Just when I run down this track, I get blindsided with decisions; too many decisions that make my head spin.
I guess I'm learning about those times in your life when you go through, well - for lack of a better term - a purging socially, mentally, and professionally. It's a cycle of past great ideas, friendships, relationships, career dreams, etc. that die and you feel like you're having to start all over again. For the past 4 years I've been working hard to surround myself with positivity in all aspects of my life.
I've let go of unhealthy relationships, dared to accomplish whatever I put my mind to, and opened up the world as if to take a step into my backyard. For the first time, I feel like this city has nothing tying me down...nothing but an older version of my life that I've shed long ago. I want something completely new, fresh, frightening.
I need to keep telling myself, "it's all about the journey, it's all about the journey..."
Wow. Purging, Vomiting...I seem to have a underlying theme creeping around. Maybe I should have just said life makes ya wanna throwing up. Aaah, that's too easy.

Recovering from the awesome birthday weekend I had in the land of Fresno/Visalia, CA.
All I wanted for my birthday, I got - I just love spending time with special people in my life, that's all the present I ever need. Muchas Gracias to the almighty Lupes for being my road trip buddy this past weekend. Girl, everything was more than I could have asked for - Love you, Lupita.
So, here's what the weekend included:
a) A Wat Special at my favorite sushi place in the world, Yoshinos.
Morro Bay, CA
 b) (Hit the road on what Lupes and I affectionately called our "Ghetto-way" road trip to Pismo Beach, Morro Bay, and Three Rivers, CA (pictures to come). We had the best clam chowder and ran the crowds off the beach.
c) Had the only birthday cake that should be allowed by law, Tres Leches, which was mucho yummy.
...alas, the only thing that was missing from my day was more buddies: Molly, Joanna, Lucinda, Melinda, Anita, Tiasha, Janie, Beata and many more *if I forgot you, it's because I'm getting old* Everytime I'm with these girls, it makes every event special. And I can't forget a special shoutout to da coolest skater girls/bois, Bridie, Allison, & Apolo - thank you all for everything!
Now, I'm just happy to be staring a soon-2-b kick ass summer right in the face. I just hope I don't melt before I get to it.
