First off, to your right is a billboard I caught while walking out of the ampitheater last Sunday. This is for all my George R. R. Martin nerds. Sansa mp3 player, WHAT!

1. Purikura taken with my homie Anne Marie before headed out to see Dave Chappelle: It's easy!

2. Debuted a new costume at AOD last weekend, Karma Shenjing's bassist Yuu: This wig is ferocious!

3. One of my good friends had a press/photo pass for Rock the Bells, so he IM'd me the other day and was like, "Yo, I got pics of your man.": Mos Def-initely!

4. In case you're wondering what me and Anne Marie look like outside of washed out, bright ass purikura booths, this is us after sitting 7 hours in the sun at Rock the Bells: Hip Hop, and ya don't stop!

I've decide that if I could be any celebrity it would be Rachel Ray. The woman gets paid to travel and eat, meet celebrities and eat, talk and eat, etc. I've also determined that my girls and I no longer make plans to hit up the clubs, drink our brains out, etc... instead we now make plans to... you guessed it... eat.

Participated in SF's Dine About Town tonight at Crustacean. (All you AOD nerds may know it as the restaurant around the corner of the hotel with the neon crab outside of it.) Every January, participating restaurants in SF create fixed price 3-course lunch and/or dinner menus. Lunch is set at $21.95 and dinner at $31.95, which is way cheaper than what you would normally spend for a 3-course meal otherwise.

Crustacean's fixed menu was as follows (I bolded the ones I got):
First Course
Shrimp & Green Mango Roll or
Skewered Chicken with Asian pickled Vegetables or
Mixed Greens with Candied Walnuts

Second Course
Shaken Beef with Jasmine Steam Rice or
Prawn Stir Fry with An's Garlic Noodles

Third Course
Fried Banana a la mode or
Orange Cream Sorbet

An's (the owner) Garlic Noodles are OFF THE BRA STRAPS. You all should be glad that your monitors don't have Smell-O-Vision 'cause hoooo boy, am I rockin' the garlic! We also tried their crab puffs and papaya salad... mmm, mmm GOOD. Service was a little on the slow side (more time for cracking jokes), but other than that the food was great.

Between the four of us, on top of drinks, coffee and two extra appetizers on top of the fixed menu, total damage was $190. Not bad for 14 dishes! (Holy shit, we had 14 dishes.)

I need to go pass out now in hopes that the 1,000lbs of food I just consumed will magically disappear in the morning.

Back when I was in high school, the thing to do with your friends was hit up the local photo studio, get matching outfits and take pictures.

My girls and I had a high school like sleepover this weekend where we played a bunch of Guitar Hero, ordered pizza, drank mojitos, dressed them up in my costumes (see previous post), rented a movie and took studios! We are dorks. Yes.

jb006ie made us all custom sweatshirts, so we decided to rock those in the photos.

Top L-R: Anne Marie whose sweatshirt says "San Diego 619"
me (duh) with one that says "Represent"
Bottom L-R: jb006ie with "Soled Out"
Melanie with "Sprinkle Me 707"

I LOVE MY FRIENDS.

Edit: But wait... there's more!

Hyphy New Year Anne Marie and I right after the ball dropped into 2006. That's my "diabolical planning for 2006" face. Surprisingly you can't tell how freakin' sweaty we were at the time! (It felt like it was about 90 degrees in the basement of the club.)

I just bought an Algonquins fukubukuro (lucky bag) off of Y! Japan. >< I think this hot pink, leopard fur print number is included (which I'm totally diggin', if you can believe it). This is me trying to add variety to my styles of dress (assuming that the shit even fits me), and if it doesn't work... hopefully I can make 5x what I spent on the bag by throwing all the pieces on eBay.

Okay, I'll stop bothering your friend's list now.

More wedding madness:

I'm going to go pass out now.

BEST. WEDDING. EVER.

	Wedding Summary in a Picture, Part 1 Lan, Alex and I... my boobs look way bigger than they really are, trust me.
	Wedding Summary in a Picture, Part 2 This is us cracking up after taking Part 1 when we realized that we need to make Alex look like a pimp.
	Wedding Summary in a Picture, Part 3 This is the picture Alex should use to make people jealous. ;D

Click on a thumbnail to get to the gallery where there are more pictures. I'll post all of them tomorrow. :D

Pictures from jb006ie's bachelorette weekend, "Pimp & Proper."


Click to view the rest... well, almost all the rest, I saved the embarassing ones for the girls. The pictures progress from "just arrived at the club while still buzzing" to "round #8 on the drinks." And the "Studios" set of pics were us being retarded... Jenn knew all the standard studio picture poses! Before you ask, yeah we coordinated to wear black tops and we made Jenn wear white. GOOD TIMES.

I can't believe I'm posting a picture... taken at Club NV... by an SBC photographer. The hell is this, 1998?! Next thing you'll be telling me is that I danced on stage while... wait... nevermind.

By far... one of the best birthdays I've had. I am TRULY TRULY blessed/lucky to have so many wonderful people in my life. Thank you to everyone who wished me well and LOVE to my girls jb006ie, Monroe, Lan and Mar for coming through to remind me what it means to be a diva.

I'm drunk off of happiness... and that last vodka and cranberry.

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU... to all of you, every single one of you... it's a wonderful feeling to be loved.

And jb006ie and Marc got me a sewing machine!! HOT DAMN!

And... the ol' Hotness came through... and we danced... and it was great... and it doesn't mean anything... but it was still great.

YAAAAAY!!!
