music: freezepop - duct taped my heart back together mood: waking up
the last couple of days have turned out completely different from what i thought they would. that is to say that my plans all went to hell. it started on thursday when a couple of things went wrong while hanging out at korova for alison's birthday. so as it turned out, aside from being there for alison, i really could have done without thursday night. what followed was my sickness in the morning. i was feeling so crappy, that i could not get up for work. i dragged myself out of bed since i knew we had to take some professional photos for the company site but told my boss i was going to be late. i made it on time for us to leave and go to the studio, where i was having a hard time standing up straight. when that was done, i headed right back home to go to sleep. i stayed in bed all the way till right now, which means that i did not go to jersey last night, the way i had planned, either. obviously. i swear i'm never having any sangria again. not only does it always give me a really bad hang over, but it makes me physically ill the next day as well (i actually had a fever).
so those were two days that did not turn out the way i had been planning them for the last few weeks. oh well... today, though, i am going to see the hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy with crystal and later i will actually be going to albion for a change. i'm looking forward to something familiar with no added drama :)

fancy ultra-fresh
music: freezepop - bike thief mood: hmm...
this morning i got up mad early so i could get some work done. naturally, it was the work i was supposed to do last night and didn't have the energy to. instead, i went to sleep at about 10pm in order to wake up at 5:30am. yes, that's right. nothing much going on. even though i am technically on spring break, i don't really feel a change since i only have classes on two nights a week anyway, and i'm still working. ehh... the semester will be over soon enough, and this summer i am not taking classes. of course this means that it'll take me even longer to graduate, but whatever. i need a break. other than that i managed to get my hands on the new vnv last night, as well as lots of freezepop. haven't had the chance to listen to all of it yet, but i'm quite thrilled with freezepop. i'm also kinda excited that they actually have a show coming up in june. i think i might actually go see it. wheeeeeeeeeee! i haven't encountered a concert i've wanted to see in quite some time. heh.
other than that, allow me to share a couple of photos from firday night madness at korova:

good times with the baris family
music: silence mood: ok
that's right... it never fails. every time i go out with cara and steph, i have the most bizarre and amusing nights possible. friday was no different. after work on friday, i came home and took a nap and was later joined by robyn and the baris sisters, who woke me up to get ready to go out. we took our time and were finally ready about ten minutes before cara had told someone she'd be at the bar. so a cab it was. upon our arrival, it appeared that we were lucky since the booth we normally sit in was not occupied by some annoying college kids. so we kidnapped everyone from the bar and settled in there. much drinking ensued, and drunkenness was achieved. i recall lucid stopping by for a while with her new man. it was nice talking to and getting drunk with them. most of my favorite people were also present and some good conversations were had. most of the night is now a blur, and i sure as hell hope i didn't do or say anything i shouldn't have. i do remember falling on my ass twice cuz of a certain stage situation, but it's all good.at the end of the night (when we were once again told to get out cuz they were trying to close up) i took four friends home. we attempted to watch a movie but all promptly passed out. there are many more details to the night, i am sure... but i cannot recall them now.
saturday was a long-ass hang over for me. i felt sick the entire day. i kept on threatening to puke but it would not happen. then, finally, after steph and robyn left, i dragged myself to the bathroom and sat their until my body was kind enough to give up the crap it was holding inside (yes, i puked). i felt slightly better but not entirely. it was only much later in the evening, when rob and cara showed up, that i was able to keep down some food. good times. heh.
so when are we doing this again?

last night
music: servers screaming mood: still can't quite open my eyes
good times indeed... i got to hang out with someone i haven't had a chance to actually talk to in about a year. we caught up on random things and BSed about others, while sipping (downing?) our choice of mixed vodka drinks. god i missed him. lol. hanging out with him was always about good conversation (or movies... can't really do both at the same time) and alcohol. yep, nothing like getting drunk in the comfort of you own home in good company. so he stayed a few hours and then sadly had to be on his way. i certainly hope we get to do this again. i honestly forgot how much i enjoy hanging out with him :)

nothing and some ink
music: silence mood: waking up
yesterday i actually managed to do absolutely nothing. seriously. from the minute i woke up in the morning until i fell asleep later at night - i sat in bed watching tv and movies without getting up almost at all. i'd say it was a record for me but truth be told, i've already experienced such lazy days. this one was a shame, though, since it was pretty nice out. oh well. either way, i am now up super early so i suppose i should take advantage of the fact that i'm actually not tired. cleaning up my mess a little is probably in order... before dragging my ass over to a tae kwon do class. after that i have a much needed appointment with steve. i hope this will be one of the last two sessions on my back and arms. i can hardly believe i'm finally almost done with the top part of my body. w00t!

every night should be like last night. no, really.
music: my ticking clock mood: happy
i met up with steph and her friend robyn at about 10:30 at union square, and we walked over to korova. we were originally going to meet about two hours earlier but they got stuck in traffic, so there was no need to find something to do to kill time. i don't remember all the details from the night cuz we were there all the way through to sometime after 4am (when they turned on the lights and told us to go away :P) but it was a night full of good people (some unexpected guests too), some decent music, a lot of sangria, and no drama. and yes, the night would not have been complete without cara. her, rob and kage did join us after some other event that they went to.
basically, the bar was full of people i am always happy to see so good times and nonsense were had by all.
wheeeeeeee!!

friday night - myspace meetup
music: silence mood: okie
dear gods, what a night!! perhaps i will be able to find a way to actually type it all out. later. however, cara might get to it first and do a better job of it. so i might just be lazy and wait. lol. last night was cool enough, though i was extremely tired from the previous night so i headed out early. and later is byte, which i am looking forward to. but not before i actually get my ass over to my tae kwon do school for a much needed class and get some homework done.
ps i'm rather happy with myself for not drinking this weekend. it was a nice change :)

hellz yea
music: construction noise from outside mood: still tired
ok, so last night, instead of going to tae kwon do, as planned... i decided to postpone this class till sunday (i have another one on thursday too) and pull out my extremely dusty rollerblades! i've been dying to go blading for months. originally, i was going to go to a class that ended at about 8:30pm and then meet up with lucid... but suddenly, i had the urge to be outside. it was way too nice out yesterday to be indoors all day. so we decided that blading it was. she ran out to jersey to grab her blades and rush back (in which time i almost fell asleep. lol) so we could meet and do this. we hooked up at union square and bladed out to the westside highway. let it be said, once more, that the westside highway is most likely my favorite spot in the city (yes, the entire stretch). we bladed for two hours, all the while feeling how out of shape we were. but we had our path planned out and we stuck to it. the weather was gorgeous and we were both very happy by the end of our journey... even though neither one of us could quite walk afterwords. heh. needless to say that i was exhausted when i got in and should have crashed. however, i managed to talk to some people before passing out at about 2am. go me! lol.
i wanna do it again!

hmm...
music: system of a down - version 7.0 mood: awake
up at the ass-crack of dawn cuz i have to be in the office super early today. for some reason i woke up over an hour before my alarm went off... and it's not even like i had all that much sleep to begin with (i think maybe five hours), but i appear to be wide awake anyway. all good. today will be decent. my day at the office will be ten hours instead of eight, which is fine cuz my boss is actually going to pay me for the extra hours (he does rock). then i shall rush over to go pick up some boots that i should have gotten fixed ions ago, followed by a trip to my tae kwon do school for a class (yes, i still find it amusing that i'm usually the only white-belt taking the 7:30 class).
in general, i find it completely amusing that my life has taken on a new direction... i attribute this mostly to all of the new people i've met lately (thank you cara) and the fact that i seem to be open to new experiences and to the fact that perhaps i need to calm down a little. heh. it's weird and wonderful at the same time...
