with the devil present

What happens when you don't blog for a couple days? It turns into the mother of all posts. But I think you will enjoy.

Sunday March 5th I went out with Sandi and Aimee to see Enid the Dowl, Service Group and The Henry Clay People in Little Tokyo which was also a little surprise birthday party for Aimee.


Yay Aimee! Yummy cupcakes.


Lauren and Aimee dancing dancing. Lauren trying to get Craig into it.






Steven and Aimee. Aimee's had a lot of Corona's by now. hehe.









Two of my favorite ladies Aimee and Sandi.



after many drinks and silly poses next to fake flowers,



we called it a night.


Jump to Friday March 16, my sister and I decided to get Korean for dinner.

Joey doing her "I'm so tough!" face. Me being...me.


Just in case you didn't know.


I don't know why, but I love getting a lot of little bowls with yummy food to munch on before getting down with Bi Bim Bap.



Joey got hers first, here she is stirring the yummy food. Look at the size of that bowl! Too bad the lady for got to write down my order hence me being sad that I can't partake in the stirring and filling my belly with yummy Bi Bim Bap. But after getting the attention of another waiter...



I finally got my food. YUM.


One of the best things about this place is that dessert is a cone and a self serving machine of frozen vanilla yogurt. I'm getting hungry!


Saturday March 20 some Aunts and Uncles of mine were in town so we all went to Downtown LA to what we refer to as "Los Callejones" to do some shopping.

How cute and sassy are these three. My cousins Jasmine and Sophie and my sister Alex.


My dad manning the wheel. Unknown to most people, my dad is a living breathing human map. He knows every street, road, freeway, shortcut in the Southern California area.


My mom digging for a granola bar she brought with her.


Together for 26 going on 27 years. Wow wow wee waa.


Alex posing and my Uncle and Dad chat-chiting while everyone shops.

Next thing I know, Jasmin and Sophie are exercising their right to dance in the street.












Hahaha. Mini dancing queens.

Then I asked all three of them to do some action jumping shots.





More shopping.


So basically, my little cousin Santiago is the cutest baby ever.







omg. Too cute.



My little munchkin. Alex and I tired from too much shopping.


Going home.

Jump to yesterday,

it rained.

Today I'm going to go sing some songs at open mic. It's been awhile since I last went and my whole family wants to go see me. Even America is coming! I'm going to make sure I drink plenty of glasses of wine to ease my ridiculous nervousness. I've done this how many times and I still get nervous? But I get over it. Anyway, if anyone is in Santa Ana come see me sing a new song I wrote and an old one at the Gypsy Den.

xoxo

stick it to the man

looky look. i scored free hummus and olives!! i sooo stuck it to the
man. hahaha

shorter story

wow. bff last night was completely empty. what happen? i remember the last time i went, i had probably the best time i'd ever had at Beauty Bar. Sandi and i made the most of it. and i think i danced with Jael from America's Next Top Model. and yes i did have my jackson long island. he looks like chandler now.

this week went by like lighting. good movies are out, i got my check, i'm leaving in 30. all smiles.












i really like to take pictures of my shoes.

that's gay

i'm off to a very slow start today. i'm completely not in the mood to do anything but go home, watch the discovery channel and fall into a coma like nap. but somebody's gotta bring home the bacon.

this morning i heard an acoustic cover of Radiohead's Creep by Korn. wtf? if ever a cover was done complete injustice it was that one. the look on my face was priceless. do i smell skunk? ewwww! and i can't stop thinking how bad it was!

went to see Oh No! Oh My! on tuesday. one of the best things ever is when you listen to a bands album and its so fun and good but then you see them live and they're even better. too much fun. the party itself, Check Yo Ponytail, was ok. it seemed like a slow night so we left early for some sweet potato fries. yum.

ooooh, you know what i found out today? <3Ryan Adams<3 new album is coming out June 5th. YES!!! oh me that makes me profoundly happy. new album means new tour. yes.yes.yes.

random pictures from this week:





















tonight i either stay in and clean or head out for some jackson long islands @ bff w/ my bff. i hope it's the latter.
