RJK 5000

chilled out with marco tonight. i feel like i hadn’t seen him in a while so it was nice to just raft and relax. we watched the grizzly man documentary which had a lot of amazing footage of bears and foxes. i didn’t feel sad when the guy got eaten by the bear, but i felt sad for his girlfriend’s family and friends. i think it’s weird he was able to put her in that kind of danger. people are weird, but bears are awesome when they catch salmon and stand on their hind legs.

Would you rather be attacked and killed by a grizzly bear or a shark? i bet grizzly bear, because water is terrifying enough. okay, what about grizzly bear or pit bull? maybe grizzly bear because it would be quicker? how about grizzly bear or mountain lion? grizzly bear, because mountain lions are gay? grizzly bear or california black bear? grizzly!

we made spaghetti tonight. i put hot sauce in mine. my stomach feels okay!

hung out with my mom some more today.  she took me out for sushi and then we ate mochi icecream ballz and watched korean soap operas.  it was fun.  but i feel tired now.  and icecream isn’t as dumb as it looks.  it knows i’m lactose intolerant.

time to watch married with children and drift off into nightmareland.  been having awesome ones lately, wish i could youtube them for you.

feeling like this is a long week.  i just want to ride on the raft and waffle?

my stomach disease has been on the fritz the last couple of days.  tonight after work i ate some chestnuts that my mom gave me and a bowl of soup.  then i felt extremely tired and napped for hours.  i woke up and did some pilates but i still don’t feel that awesome so i’m going to go watch television and then back to sleep.

had a mellow evening.  chilled out and spent time with charlotte.  took her for a drive and then visited my mom for a little bit.  now i’m baking bran muffins and watching the simpsons.  i have a feeling these muffins are going to be awesome.  well, i guess that’s enough exciting news for today.

this weekend felt long. saturday was a special day so marco and i went to a very special place for lunch: mcdonald’s. i ate a cheeseburger happy meal, and it ruled. i also received a couple of tibetan power rangers bracelets (they weren’t the happy meal toy). the bracelets give me superhuman strength and spiritual clarity. we rocked them at stinky footy’s and had commemorative shots of jameson. i love commemorative shots.

later that night we went to the pub. i watched chris clark play in knuckle sandwich, it was a good show. ran into abril too, which totally made my night. but the night ended with too much pub drama for my tastes. kinda like watching a Shakespearean tragedy unfold. or is it comedy. dark though. i like life best when people get along and do the appropriate things. i also like a nice play within a play.

spent more time at the pub today. no dramatics.  swimmy’s funny. i laughed a lot and drank too many mixed beers and then ate the blandest mexican food at the honkiest restaurant in glendale. nevertheless, i enjoyed the food.

now i get to play with charlotte.

went to the annual chinese new year dinner with my wing chun family tonight. i got to the restaurant late because my gps sent me on a wild goose chase. i’m the only person in the world who gets lost even with gps. =/. my buddy supertong saved me a seat though, so it was good. the food (authentic chinese seafood) was wonderful, but the waiter looked at me funny when i ordered a tsingtao. then he said they don’t have beer. =(. luckily, tan the deerslayer brought a bottle of remy martin, as he does every year. it was a really fun time, i think i am lucky to have such a neat kung fu class. sifu and his wife gave us red envelopes. i told the deerslayer that his baby has colic. was that rude?

the deerslayer is behind me in his slick jacket:

i’m tired.

my upper body felt like lead today.  obviously from pumping so many pounds of iron last night.  it’s pretty exhausting lugging around these bi’s and tri’s of steel…

i had pho with jonny today.  we broke up a year ago and have since carried on with our own separate happy little lives.  he always says that i deserve the best, and he means it.

watched the lunar eclipse this evening.  it was looking pretty sweet, but right at the peak of it — clouds got in my way.

afterwards, charlotte and i walked into town.  i had to carry her again for the first few blocks, but then she did fine.  a long-haired terrier named Corey tried to pick on her.  and then later on she got into a staring match with a chihuahua wearing a sweater across the street.  the chihuahua’s owner was a nice old man who waved to me after the dogs got bored of staring each other down.  strangely, the strangers were very friendly tonight.

walked by a not-so-friendly looking asian man smoking a cigarette on a dimly lit street and after i passed him i heard his feet shuffle really fast and his windbreaker swish and i saw his shadow real close to my shadow.  i felt a wave of fear or panic or a “squirt” of adrenaline.  i turned around and i was ready to punch him, but he was running to his car.  haha, he probably thought i thought he was trying to get my combination.  also, if someone attacked me, charlotte would just jump on my head.

stopped by the park and rode the swings.  for a dog who hates riding skateboards, charlotte sure enjoyed sitting on my lap and playing on swings.  it was fun and cute.  she hung on to me like a monkey.

i’ve recalled so many illusions.  i really don’t know anything at all.

life has been pretty okay these past few days. valentine’s day was sweet. it’s most fun when your sweetheart loves valentine’s day as much as you do. i did love fine hamburgers and average-priced wine. and chocolate chalky candy hearts. but honestly, i may never want to celebrate another valentine’s day again. it used to be one of my favorite holidays! but it’s like new year’s eve to me now, whatever that means.

Another strange lady in the gym locker room. Not a gypsy, but she appeared very paranoid about someone (me) obtaining her lock combination because she cupped her hand and sweatshirt around her lock and put her eyeball real close to it as she entered in the numbers. Another girl came in and saw and laughed.

i’m tired and i need new running shoes.

I feel like I should write something.  But I don’t want to.  Tomorrow (today) is Valentine’s Day though.  And I love.

we continued our feeding frenzy.  went to el torito, a place i haven’t been since the days i used to ride skateboards with geraldine and the bzo crew.  haha.  my brother and edna and my mom and linda said the food was just whatever, but my salmon tacos were a lot better than i expected.  plus, they all spoiled their appetites with mandus before we got to the restaurant, but i didn’t.  my mom said, “jenny is the best.”  the sweet corn balls are still good, but the rice is giving me that lingering msg aftertaste.  lame.

i hooked up my cheesy new computer speakers and listened to ratatat and nomeansno.

now i’m drinking really tart lemon-water and am going to lie in bed and watch television even though i have a lot of household chores to do.
