... oh, and how could I forget, how many people have asked me if I'd gone cow tipping?

I only saw cows once.

Harry Potter, the Order of the Phoenix is so good! There is something a little fishy about Kreacher, Sirius's house elf... I think that something going to happen with him.

I'm at Berkeley for the weekend, the weather is so nice! It's in the seventies, a bit of a change from yesterday's high of 107... crazy! We had Cold Stone today, yum. We were bold and tried two toppings... cheesecake ice cream with strawberries and sponge cake.

Comedy improv in downtown San Francisco tonight! This is what you get dragged to, if you have a sister who is an aspiring actress. :) It should be fun. I love San Francisco.

Pros of Davis:

• $3.50 margaritas!


• Free parking in parking structures (it's weirder than I initially thought it would be)

Let's not even think about the cons... :P That's a tongue in cheek comment, what would be the computer equivalent of that? :P) probably that would be it. :)

Two people so far have asked me since now I'm a grad student, if I'd get a bike helmet. grr...

in berkeley now! tada~

beautiful city, very unique, I really like the feel of it, I don't know why. (even though our rival school! grr~) I was a little scared cuz I have Stanford on my license plate, but I haven't gotten TP-ed yet. :P A little dangerous, especially considering that I have my life packed in my car right now!

I'm going to Davis today, to move in! It's going to be my new home city for the next 7-8 yrs. It's kind of a depressing thought. :P Things have been so much of a roller coaster these days, I guess that's what happens during transitional changes.

on an upbeat note, I went shopping in downtown San Francisco yesterday! I was determined not to spend that much, but how could I help the fact that yesterday was the last day of a 30% storewide sale at French Connection? :) I also got to visit my favorite store of the moment, Lush, the only one in America! Union Square is my favorite place to shop, me thinks... in about one square mile, there are three Nine Wests (I know, cuz I went in all three of them). ;)

I didn't think that fireworks were that big of a deal, but I changed my mind after last night. Weather was so beautiful, and it was fun sharing an evening with family.

whoa, it's early. lots to do today...

There's something precise, neatly wrapped, concise about quotes. Here's one for the day:

"While some people see a cup as half full and others see it as half empty, I like my cup overflowing." -Nigella Lawson

Happy fourth of July!

This blogspot is pretty cool! Anyways, my plan is to stay up late tonight so that I can sleep through the night tonight. Jet lag is a very elusive thing, I never know when it's going to hit me. Anyways, really excited about spending fourth of july with my sister! Maybe no fireworks, because I'll be busy packing, preparing... hm, it'd be fun to go to downtown disney to watch fireworks.

i'm watching jay leno's all-star jaywalk, or titled something like that. It's so funny! Here's a snip:

What does LBJ stand for?

Contestant 1: Lincoln B. Johnson
Contestant 2: Lincoln Brown Johnson
Contestant 3: Lincoln Black Johnson

note to self: I have to figure out how to change the color scheme on this page.

hm... not enough Haagen-dazs coffee ice cream in the fridge...

Hm... I'm trying out this new blogspot cuz I think I lost my old homepage! I can't find it. I think USC finally realized that my dad DID quit teaching there oh, um, two years ago. :) Let's see how this works.
