Feels like summer

11-4, spent the day in the city with my mom [andbrother], by the time we got on the train to go home we were half asleep. I don't need cardio, I just need SF streets--that seems to do the trick. Especially with 5 pounds of Thai food sitting in your stomach...weights for your abs. Now I'm just feeling groggy and sniffly (weirdest feeling to have in July) and not really wanting to get up.

I had dinner with the girls last night--haven't seen them all in so long. Lauren and I still have that friendly competitive relationship, she told us all about Pennsylvania and its homogenous people and weather (white and white). My tan, blonde California best friend is now Pennsylvania pale with darker hair. I love how everyone changed, it seems like for the better. Juliya especially seems a lot more grownup and works full time. Natalie and I still need to have our heels and trench coats city day :].


I've been reading tons this summer and totally enjoying it--I haven't finished a book for pleasure in God knows how long...the last book I read was this:




Details everything from les conneries et bien sur les frimeuses of the French that we either love or love to hate. Brilliant. I never understood Americans' fascination of the French culture and this book completely satirizes it (from a British perspective). I have nothing against French culture, but I take it for granted coming from a French colonized country and can't fathom why Americans place the French on a pedestal. For example, all a French guy has to do is say he's French or buy a girl cheese and American girls will flock around trying to absorb as much culture as they can before the next French guy comes along...oh la la.



No words can describe how perfectly this scene epitomizes/illustrates my point. SCORE. Start watching at 2:30 to see French man swoop [NYC Prep...new show I've started to watch].


Enough about the French...I found the perfect white dress today-->decided to venture into Banana Republic regardless of them not rehiring me and look around. The girl manager wasn't there, phew, there's something about girls in retail that makes me nauseous...they're all so...I don't know how to describe it. There's just a lot of tension between females working in retail. I saw Leana, my little Banana Republic coworker sister, she's so adorable.


Trying to learn piano before I buy my guitar. So far I can play the introduction to Green Light by John Legend and the introduction to All My Life by KC and JoJo. I can also play Day and Night by Kid Cudi, but no claps necessary because it's all of four different keys. My favorite tutorials on youtube are the ones where they teach you using one finger only--put more up! Great for struggling beginners like me, haha.



The Casio keyboard I found in my house...didn't even know we owned one. Score.



Will have new DJ Saucy mix up soon, venturing into Euro/Techno land, we'll see how that turns out. Just got the new TIME in the mail with Sarah Palin on the cover...for anyone who has that issue, check out her toes...curled up, she looks nervous. You can always tell what a person feels by their toes...even though I hate people's feet. Can't wait to read it.

Also, I realized I left my camera charger back in San Diego, how annoying. Guess I have to buy one from Amazon or something.
