Spring Break

I had a fabulous spring break but now its over and i have yet to have time to write about it, but I will. Promise.

Question of the Day

Should I minor in screenwriting, cinema television, polisci, human rights, american popular culture, or just keep my PR double major?

decisions, decisions.

Love/Hate Relationship

I have a love/hate relationship with Perez Hilton. I love his website (and read it daily) but I can't stand him and a lot of the time I completely disagree with what he writes. However, he has recently been blogging about this new artist, Little Boots. I have to admit the first couple times he wrote about her I disregarded it since he tends to jump on the bandwagon of random artists that aren't particularly spectacular for any reason. However he posted a video of her doing a cover of Kid Cudi's "Day 'N Nite" and it was actually pretty good. It peaked my interest enough to venture to her youtube where I discovered that she actually does something pretty cool, and that is she takes requests from fans and covers a song every monday via her youtube. She's done MGMT and Cyndi Lauper, among others. I really like the idea. If I were a talented singer/musician I would totalllly do that!

Here is her doing "Time to Pretend" by MGMT


I went to her website and found she also keeps a pretty extensive blog. A lot of it is just the usual talk about getting drunk and high at shows and meeting cool musicians, but there are also a lot of pictures so it's fun. Theres also a free download which I'm not sure I like but it's free so I didn't turn it down. At the very least this inspired me to pay an ounce more attention to Perez's praises of her.

Oh, and the Kid Cudi cover:


Can't wait until Thursday at 11.

Brrr-oke

Why on earth does everyone decide to have their events all of a sudden? I have so much work to do/places to be/ people to see. It's ridiculous! I think I may have to downsize on the responsibilities or else I might not get everything done!

p.s. My hair is a frizzy monster today. Thank you wind +rain -hair cut.

Fly, you fool.

I was dead set on going to London for study abroad (and in turn doing comm) but I watched Lord of the Rings again yesterday and now I'm back to being torn between London and New Zealand. And now I found out that I can go to Christchurch for comm too so I don't have to do PR just to go to NZ. I think if I went to NZ i'd be wayyy more out of my element (considering its all countryish and theres a lot of extreme sports that I would probably try just cuz its what you do). I think that might be good for me. But I'm in love with the Brits so who knowssss. maybe i'll look into a summer study abroad (next summer, obv) and do both? Oh man I hate decisions, decisions.

In the Bay of Monterey

I went up to Monterey Bay this weekend to visit CSUMB with my brother and parents. It was a nice mini-vacation although I underestimated the 5 hour drive. I honestly didn't think it was that far. It didn't help that my dad missed one of the highways so we ended up going a little too far inland and then had to travel back to the coast, which took an extra 2 hours.


We finally got there (thanks to the GPS on my iPhone) at around 7:45 pm. I was exhausted and starving, but thankfully we stayed near Cannery Row at the Otter Inn, a familiar little hotel we stayed in a few years ago. This means we were about 2.5 blocks away from Bubba Gump's so my tummy was happy :)



I wish we would have gotten there earlier to explore and hang out more but I knew the purpose of the trip was to let Albert see the campus so I didn't complain.

On Saturday I was awoke by seagulls quite early. I think thats one thing about living near the ocean that I wouldn't like. We drove up to seaside and had breakfast at a quaint little diner that had excessive owl decorations. I had a banana and apple juice because of the massive cinnamon roll i consumed in the hotel room prior to departure.


The actual campus os CSUMB was kind of tiny and bland. It was cute and the weather was nice but it's just completely different from USC. there was actual greenery... haha. The campus was built on an old military base and there was still abandoned barracks and training areas on the outskirts of campus. it was kind of odd because the buildings looked condemned and haunted. The tour was obnoxiously long and the guide was on step away from being slapped if she said "YAY!" one more time... I swear...





It seemed like Albert was into the location but not too thrilled about the school. I think he would actually really like it there but its very far and he wouldn't have his precious car (despite what he thinks, my parents have firmly said NO). He's always been more of a homebody than me so I don't know how that would work out. I'm sure he could do it but I don't know if its worth it cuz the media/comm/film programs arent that great and thats what he's thinking of doing. But whatever, if he does choose to go up there at least I can go to the aquarium and see the sea otters when I visit! hehe




Oh and while we waited for the tour to start I managaed to do some damage at Old Navy and Target, including purchasing new shoes, shirts, and a HSM3 DDR game for PS2. I need to bring the PS2 to school now cos that game is flippin awesome!


The drive down was mch quicker even though the car kept breaking down. Got home around 930ish and knocked out shortly thereafter.
