So last night, I head over to the Good Luck Bar with German to meet up with old college friend Reema and her friend Queena (i think that's how you spell her name), former Korean pop singer. We have a few drinks and we head over to Yose for some karaoke. Good times were had by all. Queena drops German and I off at my car as she's up the street in proper los feliz hill area. I get into my car and look over to the passenger seat as I usually do (residual paranoia from childhood) and I notice that my rear passenger window is down. Then I realize that it is just broken. My Nord Stage 88 keyboard is shifted around. Evidence that the culprit attempted to remove said keyboard, but failed miserably due to its awkward shape and weight.

So I shake my fist at the good luck bar because it had not brought me ANY good luck.

Well... maybe a little, I guess said keyboard could've actually been stolen.

I'll be getting my window fixed tomorrow. It is currently wrapped in saran wrap. 300 dollars down the drain.

ok. maybe not that much of a manifesto.

( It's a long one )

Although the above image was not taken this weekend (taken at Purple Beth's apartment last weekend), I find it quite comforting and so will begin the entry with the image.

Not too much happened this weekend. I actually eased into it by going to Perversion on Thursday. Bunker on Friday was quite strange. An abundance of unfortunate people. One morbidly obese asian girl in a fishnet top, unflattering skirt, and breasts that hung down just a bit too low. A number of females who had relations with Mat were there. One in particular became the topic of conversation throughout the weekend in different circles. That was an entertaining part.

so i've been dieting for about 2 weeks... almost two weeks now. My weight has gone from 155 to 154 to 153 and now to 153.4. Not much, but I guess it's something. My waist went from 31.75 to 31.5 to 31 as of this morning. Who knew 3 quarters of an inch would make me so happy. Sticking to 1200-1400 calories a day. I may need to step up my video workouts, but maybe not just yet since mel b still kicks my ass.

my goal, you ask? 125 so if i'm losing about a pound a week, it'll take me til (with no backsliding) early January to get to that weight... Of course, I'm hoping that I can push that weight loss to 2 pounds a week, making my goal late September. gah. maybe i'll aim for January. >_>

I haven't been drinking much lately. This weekend, I only had half a beer. Taking in much more water and peeing much more for that matter. Wish me luck.

And I leave you with this

Mat took this at Karaoke 2 weeks ago. (with a little photoshopping)

So, I finally got around to using part of the gift certificate Mat got me at the Silverlake Cheese Shop. I bought 5 cheeses only spent 20 bucks.

Ben came over last night and we ate most of it. Is that sad? absolutely not. So, to those of you who were giving me crap about not being at perv. I was busy eating cheese and drinking wine.

The Selection of Cheeses: (from mild to most intense)
Malvarosa from Spain. Sheep
Malga from Italy. Cow
Mature English Cheddar from the UK. Cow
Bleu de Bocage from France. Goat
Morbier from France. Cow

The Wine:
2006 White Riesling
Navarro Vineyards

We also had green grapes, blackberries, blueberries, and an assortment of crackers.




as well as video games.

ai remewv thems.

well after posting every tweet on my livejournal. i've decided it's time to suspend dear old loudtwitter and actually make an attempt at posting actual posts.

here goes:
i need tires. 235/40/zr18 95y
you try finding decent priced tires of that size.

the best deal i got was from american tire depot for 660 on gf goodrich g-force sports.

let this be a lesson to you kids out there. the cons of having 18 inch rims far outweigh the pros. no one will be impressed if you have 18 inch rims. i'm not even impressed... and i own them. you should take a look at how dirty they are.

oh car woes.

my newest addition to things i may never wear or wear only once.
