Historically, Feb 6, 1945 marked the Opening Night of the theatre, when it was simply known as "The Stockton." With new ownership in 2005, the theatre was revived as the Stockton Empire Theatre. Today, it continues to be a multi-faceted and innovative venue for the arts and cultural life of Stockton and San Joaquin residents.

whoring myself

The Google Gods tell me that my website is only searchable if there are links to it. So i'm gonna put a link to it here, since nobody reads this blog anyway. and if you do, uh, don't judge me for the 1. bad design, unless you're a designer and want to pro bono this baby 2. complete whoring of myself.
i find that i need to have online photos, resume, reel, and general braggadacio for the purpose of acting stuff. so don't judge. actually, the only person reading this is probably shirley, in which case, you can laugh all you want.
this is only temporary til i can really get my shit together and snag a sparkly li'l catchy URL and better UFI.
My Whoring Website

high school high

ahhhh. ben folds. my crush of 1995.

tonight i re-crushed on him after i randomly got tix for his show at Terminal 5. Gosh! His nerd glasses, kindergarten pants, and piano-thrashing hands just get my panties all in a bunch! Like, omigod! Exclamation points abound!

guys, take note: talent goes a looooooooooooong way in scoring. he could have cauliflower ear and a missing eye for all i care. seriously, look at the guy. with talent, "impishly nerdy" becomes "molester chic." "awkwardly asocial" becomes "charmingly quirky." "dana carvey" becomes "do me here and now." the way he pounds those keys! Double gasp!

home obsession

a friend recently told me i have total productivity ADD. i can't sit on the couch and watch TV without also surfing the web and cleaning the house and planning a to do list at the same time. any free moment on the subway or bus is instantly whiled away with the iPhone, catching up on news, texts, emails, or my calendar. it kind of sucks. and rules. how the hell else does a girl get her shit done?

so now, jobless, productivity takes the form of consumerism.

previous obsessions in the last few weeks:
-finding a desk lamp and chair (double check)
-scoring a free armchair (check!)
-scoring a free filing cabinet (check!)
-white nectarines (check)
-making fish tacos (hells yea)
-finding a not-vomit-inducing cat post (no such thing)
-marc jacobs navy blue parka (rethought a better use for $700)


latest obsession: finding a lamp.

what is it with ugly-ass lamps? how hard is it to find a simple, clean, modern floor lamp that doesn't look like it's from Ikea? and is less than $300?

anyone got suggestions? I've scoured west elm, CB2, crate & barrel, restoration hardware, straight from the crate, croft & little, jonathan adler, john derrian, target, macy's, e-Bay, elle decor, domino, design public, and tons of modern design sites. arghus.

please. no more hideousness in the world. palin is enough.

space glorious space!

pilsen loves his new home. as do i.

i hate moving

my life as told in boxes:

1. red shoes from hong kong
2. a homemade ceramic pencil holder from high school
3. a dusty typewriter
4. 20+ poetry books
5. a miniature llama from peru
6. a serge gainsbourg CD
7. shirley-made felt panda
8. marc jacobs change purse
9. vicks vapo-rub
10. the illustrated Strunk and White: elements of style

i am the picture of failure

hahahahhaah...
glad to know that i am the choice photo for the failure of asian americans to get their shit together. nice!

RIP Isaac Hayes & Bernie Mac

The world of African American entertainers lost two monumental players this week:
Issac Hayes and Bernie Mac.
Isaac Hayes died at the age of 65 in his home. With a voice like molten dark chocolate, he'll forever be remembered as the one who immortalized the private eye/phallic deity, "SHAFT!"

Bernie Mac was only 50! I have a soft spot for this homegrown Chi-town entertainer...Chicago has this way of really pulling for its own little celebs as the city's pride...Bernie, Common, Oprah, the Sox. I just watched the Chicago episode of the Bernie Mac show the other day and was remembering everything great about the city and loving that Bernie had brought it all back home. He wasn't afraid to un-Disney-fy family life and parenting and that's what made him what.

Rest In Peace both.

my new pet

can you tell i'm bored?
